IHE END OF THE SEASON. Congress
finally adjourned yesterday, at 6 p.
NJ, to which hour it was found neces-
sary to prolong the session. All the
appropriation bills we're got through,
and it is claimed that over S27, GG0. 0Ge
reduction is made. The most impor-
tant bill which was passed during the
day was the Utah bill, a measure of
doubtfulpolicy, designed to force and
preoipitate, apparently, the solution of
q delicate Question which had best be
left to time and circumstances to ud.
Just. No man can suppose that stu
pid and british imposture like Nor
monism could long stand in the face
of advancing, ,oivilization, Christianity
and general enlightenment. It seemed,
indeed, reasonable4o expect that with
the death Of Brigham Young, the
whole system, whiuh has found its
main support in his strength of will
and personal influence, would fall to
pieces and gradually disappear. The
days of Mormonism were numbered
from the moment the Pacific Railroad
unveiled the seclusion and isolation of
the Mormon settlements. The Presi-
dent, however, has on several occa-
sions. manifested an impatience more
characteristic of, the soldier than the
statesman. of the anomalous condition
OF the Territory Of Utah. An vctive
ring" OF GENTLE officials and speou.
lators are also said to have cast long
ing eyes upon the. goodly inheritance
OF the Mormons. aud to have urged
the pasRageiof q statute of pains and
penalties Tor the suppression of Nor
monisn. which might open the door to
legal prosecution of the prosperous
Saints. "-Balimore Sun. 2Ah.

NEWSPAPERS DOMEsTIOALLY
CONSIDERED.

OONSlU6h 6U.
Too low an estimate is apt to be
set on the domestic value of news
papers. After reading them, and
putting ourselves through their
agency, in mental correspondence
with the world, they are thrown
aside and forgotten. But to sup
pose their usefulness bounded by
their news columns and the waste
bag is thriftless mistake.
In the first place, there are the
household recipes, 10 be found in
stray corners, often excellent, and
deserving . refuge on the f1y-leaf
of the family cook book. Then
come the pretty verses, the strange
and drOll stories, the brief biogra-
phies and "reminiscences which,
pasted in q scrap-book ARE source
Of never-ending pleasures not only
to those who do not care for richer
intellectual food, but those who
have odd minutes for reading.
Notwithstanding the squibs joe
ular journalists have penned on
the use of newspapers for bed
clothing. we know from expert
ence that these are not to be des-
pissed. They may not be as COM
Portable as your blankts, but GER
tainly they keep out the cold.
Two thicknesses Of papers are bet
ter than a pair Of blankets, and in
the case OF persons who dislike the
weight of many bed -clothes they
are invaluable. A spread maze Of
a double layer of paper between a
covering of calico or chintz, is de-
sirable in every house hold. The
papers should be tackled together
with thread, and also basted to
the covering to keep them from
slipping. An objection has been
made on account of the rustling,
but If soft papers be chosen the
noise will not be annoying. espe.
cially should the spread be laid be-
tween a blanket and the counter
pane.
AS a protection to plants against
cold, both in and out of doors,
nothing is better. If newspapers
are pinned up over window be-
tween pots and glass, the flowers
will not only not be frozen, but
will not even get chilled, as they
are so liable to be at this season.
In the same way, if taken to cover
garden-beds, on the frosty nights
of early autumn, they will allow
the plants to remain safely out
doors some time later than 10
common.
One of the oldest services to put
our journals to is the keeping Of
ice in summer. An ingenious
housekeeper, recently discovered
that her daily lump of ice would
last nearly twice as long when
wrapped In newspapers and placed
in any kind of covered box, as
when trusted solely to a refriger-
ator. This is very convenient,
since 1t Is possible to have the best
and cheapest refrigerator constant
ly at hand.
To polish all kinds OF glass
after washing, except table glass,
no cloth or flannel is half so good
as a newspaper; and for q bakers
dozen Of other uses, quite foreign
to its primeval purpose, it is
without a rival. Home and So

The Chicago Tribune reports
that at recent secret meeting, a t
Milwaukee, of the tried, true, and
trusted of Wisconsin Republicans
the prospects of the future were
the subject of discussion. Senator
Carpenter'siterm expires next,year
and it was felt that If the question
OF his reelection should be made
an issue, it would be impossible 10
recover the State from the hands
of the Reformers, who carried the
State last fall. The general i'm
preston at the meeting was that
those who had voted for Carpenter
1869 were opposed to him him to
day; that the best men in the par
| ty believed that with Carpenter
as acandidate it would be impos-
sibly to carry a single Assembly
or Senatorial district. A letter
from prominent Republican who
could not be present informed the
meeting that Carpenter, to whom
he was personally friendly, was
and he could not disguise the fact
from himself, however much he
desired to--in his Congressional
district the most unpopular man
in Congress, Butler excepted -
that the farmers distrusted him
that their disapproval of his course
was unbounded that his James
vile speech had cost him not on
ly "votes, but hearts," that the
opposition to him could not soon
be quelled; that any Republican
who advocated his reelection
would, in his Congressional dis
trict, be certainly defeated; that
if tho question of his reelection
was brought into the canvass
next fall, it would be disastr Gus
to the Republican party in Wis
consin. A variety of suggestions
were made, but the only thing
definitely settled upon was that
Carpenter must be dropped.
