TIE WORK OF CONGRESS

1t is sad to think how little of the vast
amount of legislation done at Washington has
any sensible effect upon the prosperity of the
country. The first session of the XLIIId
Congress has lasted between six and seven
months. If it has not been crowded with
business it has at least been filled with debate
and as the result of the expenditure of noise
passion, intrigue, labor, and money, we have
a long list of Acts and Resolutions, whereof
those of public consequence might almost be
checked off on mans fingers. Perhaps it has
been no worse in this respect than most of its
predecessors. Indeed, among the few things

TIE USES OF THE FLOWERS.

The best poetry is that which will stand the
test of sober use and of practical value. The
absolute beauty of nature is proved by the
way in which it bears the trial of our insln-
cere admiration. Bad poetry would long ago
have made all the great little and all the glad
gloomy around us and above us, if we were
not superior to the Alterations of versifiers.
At this season. the nonsense which is written
in skies and eights about flowers alone, and
not only written but mailed for publication to
despairing editors, is almost enough to make
one forswear posies forever. The nomencla-
ture of this sad stuff is but too well settled.
Flowers are called "the poetry of earth,"
the stars of eartb,n the gems Of creation )"
they are smothered with pet names; they are
pressed out of all shapely beauty in albums;
they are sent lin decayed state) in love let
ters; they are accommodated, poor, dumb
things! with language of their own; and,
reproduced in many -cOlored chromos, they are
put into heavily -glded frames and stuck
upOn the walls just over the Family Bible
or Webster's Dictionary. The genuine hold
which they have upon lis is proved by all
this boarding-school Miss Nancy-ism. We
all pretend to like them, just as We all pretend
of our admiration is shown in both instances
by our perpetual resort to cheap adjectives-
"pretty,n "dear," "lOvely," charming"
"sweet,n ct al. If it be we'll sometimes to
give ourselves up to enjoyment, it is we'll also
to know why we are delighted. If our enjoy
ment be to certain extent sensuOus, let us
without any shame admit that the senses are
given to us to be gratited One can enjoy
fine pictures though utterly ignorant OF the
Old Masters, as one can enjoy fine beef
steak without knowing the names of the
butcher and cook. What we want in this age
of endless subjectivity is good wholesome
pleasure without philosophical analysis. We
improve the occasion of these June days
when flowers are offered for sale in all
| markets and at many street corners, to Illus
trate from these beauties of form and color
the value df instructive and unreasoning ad-
miratiOn.
We like bunch of flowers because it is
convenient and portable Ieminiscence of the
whole garden and of the personal plants in the
garden. We like it also because naturally the
eye loves color, and gets the same comfort
from it which the palate gets from fine fruit.
In each case the pleasure is sensual These
Door senses of ours have been SO preached down
by the mOralists that we are in danger of
doing them injustice; yet they are the gifts of
God, and it is irrelgous to renounce them.
As to coors especially, we find as we get older
and our eyes worn with much reading and
writing, that we must have the brighter hues
or the deeper Ones-strong reds and greens and
yellows. A woman coming up the street in

The Anti -Moety bill, which the President
signed last night, and which we print in full
on our seventh page tnis morning, will be
source of great satisfaction to our mercantile
community. The leading features of the bill
are familiar to our readers. 1t provides that
books and papers are only to be examined by
order of court and in court, remaining at
other times in custody of their owners. No
share of commissions on fines forfeitures or
penalties goes to informers or officials, except
in cases of smuggling, and then under hmita-
tions. In fact officials render themselves
liable to fine and Imprisonment if they bar
gain for moieties or compromises. Forfeltures
only apply to cases or packages. not invoices,
and incidental errors of accounts do not work
forfeiture. Only intentional fraud proved IN
court is to be the subject of punishment and
suits can only be brought within three years
of an alleged offense When the provisions of
this bill come into play the business of the
Special Agent is at an end: ereunt Jayne ct

that it formulates evils before investigation,
and establishes remedies in advance of expe-
Iience.
