IT is stated that the Senate will do
but little business this week, some of
the Senators having gone home for a
visit. 1t is proposed, according to the
same authority, that both houses of
Congress adjourn from December % to
January 8. Among the preliminary
work of the new session, it is thought
that some of the Senate, committees
will be reconstructed. No important
changes in the officers of the Senate
are anticipated. The organization of
the House, as made at the opening of
the extra session, will remain unchang.

OneCent A Day.

Economy is the order of the hour, and
every expenditure, however small. is ex-
rected to give return in full value
Every Family requires one good reliable
family newspaper. If such an article can
be procured for less than one cent for each
workingday of the year, we are not aware
OF it. A Family Newspaper should con-
tain carefully prepared summary of all
the news of the day, both Religious and
Secular; aud if arranged so that the two
departments may be separated and read by
two individuals ut the same time, so much
the better. The Family Newspaper should
have attractive reading and information for
the various members of q household. Some
portion of the paper should be devoted
every week, to religious and moral improve
ment, to current secular news, to agr:cul-
ture, commerce, markets, finance, to gen.
eral literature, &C., with special depart
ment for the young. Above all, the Fami-
ly Newspaper should be perfectly pure, and
free from any communicating influences in
its reading matter or in its advertisements.
Too much attention cannot be paid to this
feature, when the press is flooding the
cuuntry with so much that is vile and per.
nlcious. TO crown all, the Family News
paper should be untrammeled by any affl-
alton with sect or party, and should be free
to give all the good news from and about
all the world. If such Family News
paper can be had for one cent day. it
should be taken by every family in the
land
Such a Family Newspaper, in every re-
spect. we find in the Neao York Observer,
now commencing its fifty sixth volume.
Progressive, comprehensive, sound, reliable,
pure, it is just what is needed in your
household. Send So, Is for year to The
NesU York Observer, 81 Park Row, New
York. Sample copies are sent free.

whether Milledseville or Atlanta shall

John B. Gordon depends more or less
on the result of the election. The To-

and though Atlanta will make strong
fight, is not likely to change. The
constitution will probably be ratified.

SENATOR ANGUS CAMERON, since
he has occupied seat in the Senate.
has not taken up much of the time of
that body with his speeches. In the
discussion Of tie South Carolina case.
on the proposition to seat Hamburger
Massacre Butler, Senator Cameron took
part and replied to the remarks of
Senator Merrimon of North Carolina
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times says ''Mr. Cameron
spoke at great disadvantage, as he had
to sit out this continuous session with.
out rest, but in spite of the dragging
load of WEAKNESS, and the dead atmos-
phere of the Senate Chamber, Mr..
Cameron made notable impression,
both by his clear, forciblc manner, and
in making a threadbare subject inter.
esting: The galleries, which had
groaned with stupidity over the dull
routine of flibustering of the day, were
walked into interest by Senator Gamer
on's talk. The Inter Ocean CORES
pendent is equally complimentary and
says ''that although Mr.. Cameron had
been constantly active through the en-.
tire night, without moments rest. he
made speech that was second only to
MIR. Conkling's, and enlivened the days
proceedings more than anything that
occurred. Although Cameron has al
ready been in the Senate two years,
this was the first speech of any length
that he has made, and it marked him
as one of the most forcible and conyinc.
ing debaters in the Senate"

The most clever torgeries which had
been ever known, up to the time Of
their occurrence, were those Of Mon
roe Edwards. This man really pos
sessed commercial genius, and had he
devoted himself to Legitimate business
he would have become a merchant
prince. He preferred fraud, however,
and bore the consequences. 1t is thir
ty-tou years since Monroe Edwards
was convicted. William NJ. Eyarts
was then u young lawyer, and was re
tanned in the defence. 1t is sad that
he got his pay in forged check. Ed
wards had great personal elegance
and grace Of manners. He went to
England with forged letters from
Daniel Webster, travelling as John p
Caldwell. The aristocracy welcomed
him to their festal halls, and he actu-
ally borrowed 81 900 to return with.
In this city he forged $4,000 on
Brown, Brothers e. Co., and by three
clever forgeries in Philadelphia he
raised $4,000 more His trial in this
city was the occasion Of James Wat
son Webb's duel with Tom Marshall.
The latter was one Of the counsel for
the defence, and made severe rehec
tons on Webb, who challenged him
and got bullet in his leg. Edwards
was sentenced to Sing Sing for five
years, and died before the expiration

The Helena (Montana) Herald has
the following: "One Of our local
physicians recently removed a tumor
from the left side OF Mr.. b. +. Her
rim, OF the size Of an ordinary apple.
While the operation was being per
formed Mr. Herrin was reading the
news in daily paper and was not
aware that the knife was being used
until the tumor was placed on the Ia
bic before him. The method of de-
stroying the sensibllity was this: The
doctor took a ball of snow, added a
teaspoonful Of table salt, and applied
this freezing mixture to the tumor I'M
til the surface was white. When the
knife was used the tumor was insensi-
ble."

Southern Claims.

One Of the most effective weapons
used by the Republican leaders in the
Presidential campaign was the charge
that the success Of the Democrats
would inevitably be followed by the
payment of Il great mass OF Southern
claims. The changes were rung upon
this charge on every stump, and it
was alleged that more than two thous.
and millions Of dollars would be re-
CURED from the Treasury to foot the
bills.
The positive declaration of Mr.. Til.
den against the ayment Of such
claims, and the prompt response of
leading Southern Democrats, fully APP
proving the position. were denounced
by the Republican organs as evasive,
and the clamor on this subject contin-
ued down to the very close of the can
vass. Thousands Of honest people
were made to believe there was great
danger to the Treasury from this
cause, and many who were really in
clined to support Mr.. Tilden, voted
for Mr.. Hayes, under a delusion that
they were acting for the bes interests
OF the country.
Now, that there is no longer an OBJ
ject to be gained by wilfnl deception,
the mask is thrown off ana the charge
stands revealed as Il partisan fraud.
The Committee on War Claims of the
House Of Representatives have made
no reports for any large claims what
ever, and the very few small Gains
which they have approved, not
amounting to one years salary Of the
President, received the vote Of every
Republican member of the committee.
In the Senate, Mr.. Wright of Iowa,
one Of the extreme Republicans, re-
ported a bill last week, extending for
two years the act establishing the
Southern Claims Commission, com
posed OF three pronounced Republi, !
cans lie pressed that hill to a vote
on Saturday, and carried it by the
compact support Of his political
friends The opposition was mainly
conducted by Mr.. Thurman and Mr.
Johnston Of Virginia, who exposed |
the inslncerity OF the charges made o
few months ago, and contrasted them
with this scheme to open the door ior
claims which were then broadly as
sailed.
This commission for Southern claims
was originally created in March, 1871,
when it was supposed two years would
oe q sufficient time to decide all the
cases under the law. But the Com
found they had comtorta
Die places; and nursed them carefully.
They succeeded in getting four years
more, and now, at the end ofsix years,
they modcstly ask for a new lease OF
,wo years additional, and the Repub-
lean Senate have voted for it. Very
ew of the Southern people have benc,
tied by this commission. Adventur-
us, spectators, and carpet baggers
AYE pocketed most Of the awards,
md they are the patriots who are now
chiefly urging this extension, besides
he three Commissioners who would
ike to enjoy their snug salaries for
lalf Of Mr. Tilden's term. I'm. Y

Eggs,

The Scientific Farmer says: 1.-The
nutrlye value Of eggs, and the cheap
ness of their production, is scarcely re-.
allied by the public. 1t may seem
rather improbable to state that when
meat is twenty-five cents pound, the
food value of eggs is about thirty.
seven and a half cents a dozen, yet
this seems to be the fact. A hen may
be calculated to consume one bushel
OF corn yearly, and to lay twelve dozen
or eighteen pounds of eggs. This is
equivalent to saying that three and
one-tenth pounds of corn will produce
when fed TO this hen, one pound of
eggs. A pound ofpork, on the con-
trary, requires about five and one
third pounds Of corn tor its produc-
ton. When eggs are twenty-four
cents dozen. and pork is ten cents q
pound, we have the bushel of corn ted
producing two dollars and eighty eight
cents worth Of eggs, and but one dol,
lar and five cents worth of pork
Judging from these facts, eggs must
be economical in their productions
and in their eating, and especially fit
ted for the laboring man in replacing
meat.
