Representative Hale said yesterday, and
gave the figures to prove it, that this has been
the most expensive session of Congress ever
held in the United States. The Ku-Klux
members never should utter the words reform
or retrenchment again.

Evidently Senator Eaton was not posted
yesterday while talking on Texas affairs, when
Senator Edmunds asked him several questions
on law points, which he declined answering
himself and would not let Maxey, of Texas,

Prophetic influences are not all dead. Every
thing animate holds and often speaks prophecies
of the future. In inanimate objects also there
dwells the power of prophecy. For instance,

Mr.. Singleton forms peculiar and especial
object of interest in the House. Not because
he is master genius or a profound logician
or an able legislator, but simply for the reason
that he lets his dyspepsia ooze through his
general intercourse with man so much that he
has become conspicuous. A man with dys-
peptic stomach is excusable for many little ILL
natured manners and fretful ways, but the mag
nanimity of man will not excuse him for being
constitutionally mean and irascible. Yester-
day when Mr.. Hale should have received, as is
customary, the courtesy Of the House in ex-
tending the time for the delivery of his speech,
Mr.. Singleton, without any apparent cause
whatever, objected in the most violent manner.
His Democratic brethren all appeared willing
TO have Mr.. Hale proceed, but with a narrow
and illib .ral spirit, Mr.. Singleton refused to
withdraw his objection. The truth is, when
dyspepsia takes possession Of q mans stomach
in dead earnest it crowds the soul into such a
small compass as to render it quite incapable
Of any sensibility whatever. 1t smothers not
only generosity but manliness

Perhaps one of the saddest spectacles of the
Forty-fourth Congress is the profound and
awful silence of Ben Hill. To see a man
weighed down by ten thousand great thoughts
about "hugging the Constitution and the
brutality Of Abraham Lincoln," and yet un-
able TO speak them to an anxious people be-
cause he is muzzled by his cautious friends, is
q sight well calculated to stir the very depth
of sorrow. If Messrs Randall, Lamar & Co.
do not remove that muzzle soon we shall be
compelled to turn them over to the tender
mercies of Mr.. Gatchel, who will promptly
punish them for cruelty, &c.
Mr.. CoX's fun is spontan and the spon-
taneIty is wherein lies the force of many of his
repartees which would fall Intellectual were
they studied and laboriously rendered We
like Mr.. Cox for his pleasant and genial spirit,
but we deprecate the coarse and vulgar strain
which characterized his demonstration in the
House yesterday. He knows full well that
polished humor, sparkling with genial light as
well as bold and terse sarcasm, often strikes
more telling blows than were ever dealt by the
strong shafts of logic or reason. But the soft
nonsense which characterized his utterances
yesterday bear no weight, and only make their
author appear in the role of a funny school
boy. That Mr.. Cox has broad and compre-
hensive appreciation of true humor no liberal
mind will deny, still 1t is generally conceded
that in his humorous demonstrations he often
times falls into a vulgarity and coarseness
which at once become repulsive to the more
refined. Mr.. Cox will please accept our COM
pliments and mediate on the truth of what we
say.

The Bonanza King.

Correspondence of the Kenebec (Me.) Jour.
nal: Twelve years ago there was a drinking
saloon on Washington street, in the city of San
Francisco, over whose bar two young Irishmen
were won't to dispense drink to their thirsty
customers, at 10 cents per glass. The names
of these young men were Flood and O'Brien
They were steady and industrious, and had &C
accumulated some money which they in
vested in mining stock. By reason of good
luck, and good judgment, their small for
tune began rapidly to increase. They now
abandoned their whisky mill, and directed
their attention to mining stocks. In the pursuit
of their calling they developed great shrewd
ness and business capacity, as will appear from
what follows.
have letter before me, from a reliable
source, dated San Francisco, Jan. 10th, 1876
from which extract the following:
"You will recollect the saloon on Washing
ton street, kept by Flood and O'Brien. Well,
can you believe me when l tell you that these
same men are to-day the great money kings o.
Californian "They with their partners at Vir-
gipia City, Fair and Mackay, now own fifty
three thousand shares in Consolidated Vir
ginia, worth at present valuation, $2S, ,655, 900
also three hundred and sixty thousand shares
in California worth $50 ,240 900. The Joint in
come from these two mines when in full blas
is estimated to be S1,71O,OOO per mouth, or $57 !,
600 per day. Now in addition to this vast
property, they own large real estate interests
in the city, and bank with capital of 81, ,OOO,
900. An expert government examiner has ex-
amined the Consolidated Virginia as far as it
is opened, and estimates the value of the ore in
sight to be $3OO,OOO,OoO. 1t is expected that
the mine will, in future, yield nearly double
what it has been doing for the last year. So i
is safe to predict that the firm alluded to, will
in ten years, be the richest one in the world
excepting the Rothschilds." Is not this stag
gering to eur credulity?

NORM THE FAMILY.-An old Detroiter brought
heme two jugs, the other day, one labeled
"boiled oil" and the other "turpentine." They
were placed in the barn, and pretty soon it
was noticed that the old man had business
there at regular intervals. His Oldest son sly
ly followed him and saw him taking deep
draught from one of the jugs The old man
heard step outside, and before geing out he
arranged those jugs according to his artistic
taste. He was hardly gene when the son skip
ped in and took drink from the jug out oi
which he supposed his father drank. The next
moment he was sputtering, coughing and gasp
ing, and the old man entered and asking:
''Turpentine doesn't agree with you, does
it?"
"But I saw you drink it !' exclaimed the in
iured and indignant son.
"That is true" said the old man, while a
beautiful smile played over his face, "but it
doesn't necessarily follow that the rest of the
family must relish turpentine because do"

KINDNESS IN LITTLE THINGs.-The sunshine
of life is made up of very little beams, that are
bright all the time. In the nursery, on the
room all the time for little acts of kindness
that cost nothing, but are worth more than
gold or silver. To give up something, where
giving up will prevent unhappiness; to yield
when perssting will chafe and fret others ; to
go little round rather than come against an
other; to take an i'll word or cross look rather
than resent or return it-these are the ways in
which clouds and storms are kept off, and
pleasant smiling sunshine secured even in the
humble home, among poor people. as in fami-
lies in wealthier homes. Much that we term
the miseries Of life would be avoided by adopt
ing this rule of conduct Philadelphia Post.

Editors of the Union The 'Noble Example"
as illustrated by the following extract SO impress
ed my mind that | have felt that it might be
worth a place ia your columns. Whilst the
Christian world have not yet been educated up
10 that high standard so boldly announced by
Alderman latham, and which the Society of
Friends have been laboring for for 200 years.
there does appear to be an awakening through
out christend0m TO the great importance of these
testimonies. The friends of temperance, even in
this county OF Baltimore, as well as over the
State generally, are more active than ever before
and with well grounded hopes that the present
Legislature will at least grant them the privilege
OF deciding for themselves whether this great
curse shall longer continue to desecrate our coun-
try. And although that great day, prophetcal-
ly foretold near 2 900 years ago. has not arrived,
and may not for generations 10 come, when
swords shall be beaten into plough shares and
spears into pruning hooks, yet the cause OF peace
on earth has been making rapid strides within
the past few years. Emperors, kings and parla-
ments have at least respectfully received and con-
sdersd the appeals that have been made to them,
and our own great Republic through its Repre-
senIaiives in Congress- lend willing ear TO the
advocates OF peace, and our werihy President, al
though an educated warrior, is now so far the
advocate OF peace as almost altogether to discard
force and instead thereof TO rely upon justice ad-
minislered by the civil power in his treatment Of
the Indians and this, as all know who have at
all made themselves familiar with The subject
with signal success. Let US therefore hope that
the day is not distant hen all who acknowledge
Chrisrs name may consistently maintain the
great doctrine thai be proclaimed Of peace Oh
