Let Our Farm Houses have Pia.zas.

l know a stout elderly gentleman
who declares the delicacy of health in
Americans to be due to their neglect Of
an evening walk. I need scarcely in
form my farmer friends that this indi-
vidual is not OF their ayocationl The
man who has followed the plow, and
the woman who has been briskly step
ping about kitchen, dairy and garden
all day. will not be likely to suffer for
lack OF half:hour's exercise at the
close Of it. Rest is far more desirable
boon, and when | see farmer sitting
on one chair, with his tired feet at rest
on another, on a pleasant veranda,
reading his paper in the late afternoon
light, while his wife rests in an easy
chair close by, enjoying favorite mag
azine, feel that they are much more
proftably employed shortening their
lives by either extra work or exercise.
The plainest farm house should have its
broad piazza. To no other persons is
the luxury so desirable as to the farmer
and his family. When the heat Of a
summers day has passed, and the cool
shades OF evening begin to render all
outdoors" an inviting place Of resort,
the mechanic sallies forth from his
close shop, the lawyer from his musty
Office, the minister from his study, the
banker from his counting-room, 10 en-,
Joy with their wives an evening call,
walk, or drive, and to them, as to the
weary seamstress, it seems like q
glorious rest. While to the farmer
who has been bronzing and blistering
in the sun all day, and to his wife who
has for large share Of it been broiling
over hot cook-stoye. the thought Of a
walk would prove everything but re.
freshing.
But because he is loo ;atigued to go
out for enjoyment. the farmer does not
wish to 60 to bed with the chickens,
and lose all the pleasure OF watching
glorious sunsets and beautiful moon
risings. To him, then, when he would
rest at will, and, surrounded by the
lovely evening sights and sounds Of ma
ture, refresh his mind with the news of
the day or the pleasant chat OF his as
sembled family, the broad piazza be-
comes an inexhaustible, almost an in
dispensable source of pleasure and COM
fort.

GRAFTON OF bills reported from the

ests of the United States. II provides
for the payment Of a drawback equal
to the duties paid on the timber, metals
and other articles which may be i'm.
ported and used in the construction or
equipment OF vessels OF all kinds built
in the United States and employed
exclusively in trade with foreign coun-
tries; and in case American material
is used in the construction OF such
vessels, the Secretary of the Treasury
is to pay bounty equivalent to the
duty imposed on similar material or
articles OF foreign manufacture when
imported. The bill further pro.
vides that American vessels which
have been registered in foreign coun-
tries since January |, 1861, may within
two wears from the enactment OF the
bill be registered As our vessels under
such regulations as the Secretary
of the Treasury may prescribe; that
foreign built iron ships OF not less than
1000 tous when owned by United States
citizens may within three years be reg
is,ered in this country for foreign trade;
that all ship stores and coal to be used IN
American vessels on voyages from the
United States to foreign countries may
be taken from bond and disposed for
such purposes, duty free, and that all
vessels herein before mentioned may be
taken BY the Government for navy SER
vice in time OF danger, after due inspec.
ton and appraisement, negotiations for
which are minutely provided in the
bill.
Mr.. Conkling introduced a bill to

Mr. Cox offered q concurrent resolu'
ton, which was agreed 10. declaring
that Congress has heard with profound
regret of the death OF Prof. Morse,
whose distinguished and varied abilities
have contributed more than those ol
any other person 10 the development!
and progress Of the practical arts, aud
that bis purity OF private lite, his LOTT
ness of scientific aims. and his resolute
faith in truth, render it elninently
proper that the Representatives and
Senators should solemnly ' testify to his
worth and greatness.
Mr.. Wood made some remarks in
eulogy OF Prof. Morse.
After the passage OF few private
bills, the House resumed the considera'
ton of the steamboat bill.
The amendment made by Mr.. Kerr
to the substitute for the liability sec
tons OF the act of 1851 for lhe forty
third section of this bill was rejected,
and the section was then modified on
motion OF Mr.. Townsend, of New Y York.
The bill was then passed substantially
as it came from the committee.
Mr.. Dawes introduced Bill II amend
the National currency act. Referred TO
the Committee on Ways and Means.
The House then took up the bill re-
ported yesterday from the Committee
on Public Lands, reserving public lands
for actual settlers only. Various
mendments and modification. were
suggested to the bill, but without any
action upoa them, tie bill went over
till Tuesday and the House took up the
report OF the Alabama contested elec-
ton case, declaring Hsdley, the sitting
member, entitled to his seat. The
report Was agreed to without debate,
and the contestant WAS voted his ex-
pense to the amount of $592S.
The House then took up the bill
reported on the 2lst Of March, from the
Committee on Commerce, for the
appointment oi shipping commissioners
in the interest o! sailors and OF COM
merce. A synopsis OF the bill was
published on the Dist Of March.
Mr.. Conger spoke in favor OF the bill,
and said it had been perfected after a
long and careful deliberation, and upon
the recommendations and suggestions
Of persons best informed on the need:
OF the shipping service, including the
New York Chamber Of Commerce.
Mr.. Cox thought the bill exceeded
the proper bounds of Congresslona
legislation, and that Congress had nc
more power to euact certain regulations
presented in the bill than they had tc
designate what servants a man should
employ and how much he should pa.
them.
Mr.. Wood moved to recommit the
bill 10 the Committee on Commerce.
Mr.. Conger said that it would be
equivalent to defeat OF the bill fol
this session.
Mr.. Woods motion was lost; aye:
43, noes IS.
The House then, on motion OF Mr.
Conger, at 4:50 P. NJ, adjourned.
