G@~The committee on appropriations in the
House of Representatives has convened in
Washington for the purpose of cutting out work
fer Congress which assemblies the first Monday
in December. This looks as if the Republican
party had become aroused to the Importance of
the responsibility upon them. If they had
evinced this much determination to do some
thing last winter it would have been better for
both them and the country. 1t is supposed a
new form of government will be shaped for the
District Of Columbia, withfive commissioners

DIrrHERIA IN New York. The viruleuce and
fatality of diptheria in New York is creating
considerable comment by the press of that city,
and it is reported that the disease is steadily on
the increase, notwithsta nding the efforts of the
health officers to check its progress The N. Y
Times of late date says:
"Thc number of deaths from diptheria for
the year ending last 4th of July was 34l, or
an average of twenty six a week THIS was
four times the average mortality of The Eng
lish metropolis from the same cause, though
the population coming under~ the London
hea.tEta5les is more than three times as mum
erous as ours. But evel this was trihing com
pared with the figures for the last two weeks
of October. For the week ending October 24th
there were eighty~ive death, rom dipt leria,
and for the week ending October 81 the deaths
had risen to tho Unprecedented total of l0S.--
DIptnera mas in fact attained among US the
proportions OF a genuine pestileuce and the
causes OF its prevalence cannot be too soon sub
jected to thorough and scientific Investigation,
with view to some sweeping measure ef nge
vention."

Coon RECIPE FOR CURING MEAT.-The follow
ing recipe is from the editor of The Germanto,on
Telegraph, who recommends it after many years
trial. 1t will be useful to our readers at this
season of tho year:
To one gallon Of water, take u lbs. of salt, !
Id. sugar, ~ saltpeter, OF. potash. In this
rate the pickle cal. be increased to any quanti-
ty desired. Let these be boiled together until
the dirt from the sugar rises to the top and is
SKINNED off. Then throw it into a tub to cool,
and when cold, pour it over your beef or pork,
to remain the usual time, say four or five weeks
The meat must be well covered with pickle, and
should not be put down for at least two days
after killing, during which time it should be
slightly sprnkled with powdered salpetre,
which removes all the surface blood, etc., leav.
ing the meat fresh and clean. Some omit boil
ing the pickle, and find it to answer WELL
though the operation of boiling puri6es the
pickle by throwing off the dirt always to be
found in salt and sugar.

WILD DUcKs.-Sportsmen have prophesied
that this is to be an unusually good winter for
duck shooting, and the indications of the sea-
son so far bear out the predictions. The strc-
ter enfor( ement of the game laws last year in
the prosecution of those reckless gunners who
slaughter wild fowl by the wholesale by means
Of sink-boats and immense guns, has already
had good effect in the increased breeding OF
ducks, and with still more watchful vigilance
against them it may be anticipated that Ma
land waters will once more be as prolific OF
game as they were before the birds were de
dominated by such murderous inventions
The lower Eastern Shore papers speak of count
less thousands of ducks in the bays on the
Somerset and Worcester shores, where legiti.
mate sportsmen can now find ample and ex.
citing exercise. The waters in these regions
are said to be literally covered with them, and
up to this time the gunners have not appeared
in Sufficient numbers to diminish the sport.

- %4s=4e looks as II trouble was brewing in
England 2 it may be elsewhere. The follow
ing is cable dispatch from London on Nov.
5th:
''The chief authorities of the Catholic Church
have decided to hold a great International
Catholic Congress in London with the object of
maintaining the doctrine of Papal infalibilty,
reasserting the Pope's right to temporal as we'll
as spiritual power, and proclaiming the bound
en- duty of all Christians to return to allegiance
to Rome. 1t is stated that this determination
is the result Of direct instructions from the Vat
lean, and some Of the highest dignitaries of
the Church will attend the Congress Arch
bishop Manning, in a speech at Westminster,
admitted that the spiritual influence of the
Pope had greatly increased since the loss of his
temporalties Ifarbitraton was ever to super
cede war, the Pope would be the only possible
authorized arbitrator. The Catholic world, he
ided, was threatened with a controversy on
all the DEGREES ofthe Ecumenical Council; there
was undoubtedly approaching one ofthe might
est contests the religious world had ever seen ;
through the free press of England the Pope's
rights, and his pretentions to world vide allie
glance"
This has elected manifesto from Mr.. Glad
stone, late Prince Minister, in which he states
that "the Catholic emancipation act was pass
ed under the belief that the Catholic would
give his allegiance to the Queen, but it is now
known that his first allegiance is to the Pope"
There is rumor that considerable agitation is
being caused by these things. Mr.. Disrseli, on
taking the chair of the Presidency of Edinburg
University last year, declared that it would
not be long until this question should disturb
all Europe. 1t seems thatiti is now upon them.
