THE BUSINESS TO DAY.
Much of the first days of every Congress il
spent 10 repetition Of the bus ness of the
former Congress. Most Of the bills introduced
are such as have been before considered, but
which have failed to be brought to 6ual con-
cuslon because Of Want of tine failure OF
committees to report, &c.
The Seoate will, directly alter the holidays,
proceed to put the succession to the Presidency,

FIGHTING GROUND. The commons 90 the
northwest outskirts Of the city have long been
noted as famous fighting grounds for the nu-
mcrous COWS that roam thereon. The spot was
once called horse heaven" from the fact that
all the dead horses and COWS of the city were
carried there, before the days of bone yards.
Many cattle have been killed there, too, by
passing railroad trains and the scent arising
from these causes is assigned by some as the
reason for the belligerency so frequently mani
Tested there by the cows. 10 fight there last
night foe cow belonging to Mr.. John Smith

EYE AND EAR SERMONS. Rev. +. NJ Long
was to have preached at the Union Prayer
Meeting, to be held at the I'd Presbyterian
Church q axt Sunday afternoon, but the SEES
sion of the Church mot to day and refused to
allow him 10 do SO as he takes up collections to
ply his expenses, which is against the rcgula
tons of the church. Instead of having a
manuscript, with. the. poiotsrofthe sermon be-
fore the speakers eye, his sermons are so ar
ranged as to bold the eyes and ears Of his au-
dence simultaneously. By'means of a frame
work, Twelve feet high, placed ordinarily in the
rear of the pulpit sofa, the illustrations appear
above the top of any pulpit and revoIve on
three rollers as silently and quickly as the turn
ing of leaf of u manuscript sermon. Each IL
uStration contains text at the top, in gilt
letters, large enough to be seen over any au'
dence room, and underneath a painting that
sets forth its meaning. AS macy of these texts
and accompanying illustrations are used as
there are divisions 10 sermon, or links 10 the
chain of thought These illustrations are in-
terspersed with Two or three painted hymns
that are sung during the sermon. And thus
MIR. Long seeks to get his audience to EN-
phasize the truths of the sermoo, and uses
their lips as we'll as their eyes and ears 10 con-
veyiog truths to the conscience and heart.

Prof. HODGKIN.-At The Richmond Den.
tai Convention Wednesday, Professor Hodg-
kin, formerly Of this city, said that there we're
many causes for decay in teeth, and that as a
general rule he had found that the children of
feeble parents had Inferior teeth. He cited
several cases that had come under bis observa-
ton, showing the various causes for decay, and
ether cases where there was no decay, although
the same causes in other persons had produced
decay He did not believe that under ordi-
nary circumstances bad teeth in mothers could
be attributed to having children.
