WASHINGTON, D.. c., March 23.-The
finances occupied the entire attention OF
Congress, the House taking the lead. how.
ever, by passing the bill fixing the amount of
legal tenders ut $500, 100000. This is proba-
bly, the bill that will pass the Senate, as any
other. and particularly the one reported to-
day-the provisions Of which will be en-
planned BY the chairman of the Finance
Committee to-morrow-is likely to lead to as
extended and improbable debate as the
measure already pending IN that body.
Senator's arc thoroughly tired Of the long
discussion, and the various speeches to-day
were made to empty benches. A perfect
avalanche OF petitions was presented in the
morning hour for and against imitation.

five dollars to five cents. The whole field
will be openedancw tomorrow, when the bill
reported to-day will be offered as substi-
tute for the pending bill. The new bill is
compromise between the members Of the
Finance Committee.
The District mcmorialiSts to-day present
cd eleven charges against the Board Of Pub

Every year increases the populari-
tv of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
audit is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR TO its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

Metz and Strashurg.

A contributor to the London Times,
who has been visiting Alsace and Lor-
raine, writes:
"About twenty-five thousand of the
most wealthy French inhabitants and
well-to-do trades-people, chiefly, have
left Metz, and about the same number,
chiefly, perhaps, of the poorer sort of
German trades-people, have taken their
places. French people are, however,
still leaving as tn V are able to arrange
their affairs, and not few shops are
now closed from their occupants having
left and no new owners having as yet
arrived to take their place.
Much about the same sort of change
has occurred at Strasburg, and to
similar extent, but as far as could as
certain the newcomers from other parts
of Germany have eutnumbered those
who have left. The demand for houses
there increases, and many new ones are
now being built, besides those which
are being rebuilt, with increased dimen-
sions, on the sites of those battered
down in the sorely bombarded city.
"The old Notifications of Strasburg,
constructed by Vauban in 1852, the
year after the town was taken by the
French, and which served it so little
when Germany was retakiDg it nearly
two hundred years afterward, will
speedily be demolished, and the town
extended. / had the opportunity of
seeing something Ct the new earth
works and stone for ifcations which are
commanding approaches to the town
about two miles off, on elevated sites,
and which will make another such bonn
bardment of the town impossible by
any future enemy. The exterior forts
around Metz, placed on most command
ing situa tions, are receiving similar at
tent on by being placed in the best pos
sible condition by the Germans. and
the interior forts Will most probably be

Overerown Hogs.

There is not one single advantage to
be claimed in favor of big hogs. There
newer was monster hog which did not
make the man who raised him pay for
every pound he weighed. They do not
furnish an ounce of meat gratis, but
charge full price for every atom of their
carcass. When slaughtered, it takes a
long time to get one cool to the marrow
in the bone, and then when the hams
are put in salt it is troublesome to fin
ish them to the centre. Four hundred
live weight is as large as hogs should be
in order to make good bacon. Beyond
this size there is a loss somewhere.
Either the fesder, butcher, or consumer
is cheated, and as a general thing every
one who has anything to do with a big
hog will find, if he observes closely,
they are not so profitable as the smooth
nice hog of only $50 pounds weight. A
small head, with little upright ears, and
legs and ears delicate to perfection, are
marks which indicate the greatest
amount of food consumed, and it will
always draw more readily the attention
of the butcher.

Care of Lambs.

Sheep are the only farm stock that
have retained or advanced their actual
value in the market during the past
year. 1t is therefore for the farmers
interest that he carefully watch his ewes
and lambs at this season. Ewes need
better care than wethers, and should be
removed to pens where they can be
looked after daily. As they near the
time of lambing, they should be again
removed to a warm, dry pen and watch
ed closely. If the lamb comes weakly,
it should have mOuthful or two of
warm milk until it is active enough to
suck. If it should become chilled, let
it be removed at once, and warmed and
fed until restored But there will be
fe weak lambs if the ewes are fed pre-
yiously with good clover hay, a few
roots, and handful of oats daily. No
hogs Should be permitted near pen of
lambs; and the tanner and more gentle
the sheep have been made, the less dan
ger there will be of the eve resenting
any interference either with herself or
her lamb, and disowning it in conse-
quence.

The Cane Cnlture South.

There are some decided indications
that the culture of the sugar cane,
which has to great extent been aban-
doned on the low lands of Louisiana,
will in the future be largely prosecuted
on the pine lands of Mississippi and
Alabama. The Mobile and Ohio rail-
road runs for several hundred miles
through fine country, and the COM
pany, convinced that these lands are
well adapted to the culture of cane, has
offered liberal prizes as an inducement
to the farmers to make experimental
tests. In consequence of this offer
many experiments and investigations
as to the proftableness of ne-growing
on pine lands have been made by farm
ers along the line of the road, and it is
stated that the result of such investi-
cations invariably goes to show that no
other crop could be equally profitable.
In this connection the Mobile Register
gives the result of an experiment made
by Mr.. Isaac George, living near Cit
ronelle, Alabama, as follows "From
the cane grown on one acre of land,
moderately enriched with the natural
fertilizers of the farm, he made four
teen half barrels, ne lrly three hundred
gallon rs fir" %vrup, for which he
realized seventy-ive cents a gallon.
The cost of culture, manufacture, ETC.,
did not amount to twenty-five dollars,
leaving him a clear profit of two hun
dred dollars, or to put it moderately,
say one hundred and fifty dollars. The
New York World thinks that if one
third of this amount can be realized
from the general culture of cane on
pine lands, which have hitherto been
neglected for alluvial and prairie lands,
q revolution will before long be wrought
in an important branch of the agricul-
ture of the south. During the war,
those portions of the south which were
cut off from connection with Louisiana,
cuItivat d the sorghum cane sgccess-
fullyson arid, sandy soil, and though
the sorghum cane is inferior III many
respects to the regular sugar cane of
the lowlands, it nevertheless yielded
an excellent syrup. With greater care
and attention better quality of cane
ought to be produced, and the results
obtained by the Chronicle experiment
ter, as well as by others, seem to have
demonstrated that this has been very
successfully done. In southern Geor-
gia, in Florida, southern Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Texas, there are
not less than fifty million acres of pine
lands, perfectly healthy, and in a eli
mate well adapted to the growth of SUI
gar cane. These lands can be improved
so as to yield a hogshead of sugar, on
an average, per acre, showing capacity
to turn out fifty million hogsheads a
year. But such universal Improvement
of naturally thin pine lands is for the
distant future, when farmers, planters,
and the public generally, regard agri-
culture as much a science as algebra or
astronomy. When we burn an ounce
of pure sugar no ashes is left, showing
that this substance is convertible into
air and vapor. No good farmer should
impoverish fiela by transforming air
and water into sugar, starch, fat or but
ter, and selling it for distant consump-
