A Washington letter says the indica-
tions of a protractod session of Congress
increase. The Appropriation Committee
of the House do think they will get all
their bills through before the middle of
May, and it will probably take the Senate
and House one or two months after that
date to settle their differences on these
measures. There have been introduced in
the House and Senate so far in this Con-
gress nearly three thousand bills and Joint
resolutions, a fact without precedent in the
history Of the Government.

There is a lady in Atlanta, Ga, who is
the mother of five healthy, intelligent chill
dren, the eldest of which is about eight
years old. A singular fact in connection
with these children is, that no one 9ftbem
has ever been known to cry. They have
been victims to the pains ard aches that
child flesh is heir to, yet all the signs of
pain they have ever manifested are low
means. They never cry. In.othor things
they are as other children, and full of life
and mirth.

DR.. Robaok.

DIR. Roback, of Cincinnati, again adver-
tises in our columns, this making his Sc
cond engagement with us.
In reference to the Doctors medicines
we will say this much in their favor, tho
we are not in the habit of praising patent
or other medicines. Last year we were
ailing considerably, and feeling inclined
to try almost any remedy, we used a bot
tie Of of his Bitters, and, at the same time
some of his pills, and we must say we be-
ljeye we had relief by their use. Should
we again find necessity for medicine, we
design trying Robaok's Pills and Bitters,
and our advice to others, with like necesi-
ty, is to do likewise. march3l-4t
An editor out west, who had an eye to
business, and in order to increase the cir
c%ulation Of his paper, announced in a late
number that every new cash subscriber
might kiss his better half, who was young
and handsome. The next day there was
an alarming rush of people in his Office;
among them many old subscribers who
wanted to take an extra number. Such
was the confusion, and in the event of a
mob, he took in his sign and closed up the
Office, He has ordered a steam power
paess since, and his wife was plastering
her lips at last accounts.

The community was painfully
shocked to learn of the death of
Mrs. Mclean. She was so young,
so beautiful and so full of life that
it seemed the fell destroyer might
have passed her by for some less
" shining mark"
The above is taken from the
Shreveport South Western Of the
23d ult. It is a sad announcement
to the mother, relatives and friends
of the deceased, who reside in this
town, and whom she very recently
visited, apparently in the bloom of
health.
1t is indeed a forcible reminder
that youth, beauty of mind and per
son, together with all the charms
with which a loving heart may in
vest these, are no shield against the
cruel arrow of death.
