1t is understood the message Of the
President to the special Congress will be
brief and will only include those matters
needing early attention. 1t will mainly be
confined to the deficiencies in the appro-
priations made to the several executive
departments. The Department of Justice
is without means to Gefray TIE expenses
of the United States Courts. a large de-
iciency exists in the pay of the Navy for
the closing six months of the last fiscal
year, and the Army has been without pay
since July. The early attention Of Con-
gress will be be invited to these deficien-
cies first. The recent destruction by fire
OF portion of the Interior Department,
buildings will be communicated to Con-
gress, and an appropriation urged to
repair the damages. The attention of
Congress will also be invited to the inse-
curity of some of the other department
buildings for preserving the public rec
ords. At the last session Congress failed
to make appropriation to pay the awards
made by the Southern Claims Commission,
and the President will urge that an appro-
priation be made to settle the awards at
an early day. The railroad strikes win
be referred to, and the movements of the
Army in response to calls made by the
Governors OF the several States in which
the strikes occurred, together with all the
correspondence upon the subject. will
form part of the message to the October
session,

A Novel Law.

Virginia always was an illustrious State.
and is likely to add another to its many
laurels. The State has the misfortune oil
being badly in debt. Its interest is un-
paid, and many of the people talk oil re-
pudiatiop. But Dr. Moffet. who is men,
Der of the leading branch of the legisla-
ture. an educated and pleasant gentleman
and a firm friend of State credit, unable
to see other means adopted for raising the
large amount of money needed by the
State, conceived the plan of taxing dram
drinkers. A law to this effect was passed,
and the ingenuity of DR.. Motfet, and an
other inventor, produced the machine
which is TO do the tax-collecting in this
line for the State, and the result is expect
ed to be the payment of $500, 900 per year
into the State treas ury.
The machine, which is called the Moffet
bell-punch, but which is more properly a
register. is of cast iron and about the
size Of cigar box. On the front side is
a dial, and on the other side crank. This
is fixed permanently to the counter. Upon
the sale of glass of the ardent, the bar
tender turns the crank, a bell within sounds
and the hand of the dial moves forward
one point. Upon glass OF beer the tax
is one-half cent, on alcoholic drink two
and one-half cents. Once each month Of
ficers inspect all the registers, and penal
ties for violation of the law are very Sc
we're. This tax falls upon the consumer,
for the price of liquors was Immediately
advanced by the dealers, while the beer
glasses were made tenth smaller.
What the result of this new idea will be
trial will tell. The bell-punch is used sue
cessfully on many horse railroads, to pre-
vent conductors from stealing the compa-
ny's money, it may prove success in the
case Of the bar-tenders of Virginia. Pub
lie sentiment is said to be in favor of this
new law, but the liquor dealers are wrathy
and will oppose its workings in every
possible manner. This opposition would
appear to indicate the law to be a temper
snce measure as well, and that the dealers
fear their business may be injured. II
would not seem that the receipts would
fall of greatly. and it is reported the con-
sumers, upon whom the tax falls, make no
complaint. If the cause of temperance
should be advanced by this new idea hui
manly will rejoice; or, if the State OF
Virginia reaps the harvest it expects, there
would yet be some cause TO rejoice. A
Chicago journal, on the basis of figures
furnished by Virginia, has calculated the
result from the successful workings of such
q measure in Chicago and Illinois. Ii
would yield the State $780, 900 per an
mum. of which sum Chicago would fur
nish $l.320.000. This amount of revenue
would be greater than has ever been collect
ed in Illinois in one year for State purposes.
1t is sum far in excess of the ordinary
wants Of the State. The result of this
novel law will be watched with much in
terest. Will it effect the temperance ques-
ton Win it yield the expected reveAue ?

The Cross AID the Crescent: or Turk
and Christian.

The second Lectarc in the popular Semi
nary Course, was delivered on Friday
evening the 10Th inst. in Trinity Ve,try.
by d.. William Wells, Professor Of Mod.
ern Languages, in Union College, upon the
above interesting subject. Owing to the
fact, that the community had been very
thoroughly canvassed for season tickets for
the Village Course of Lectures on behalf
of the Montpelier Reading Room, the
audience last Friday evening was verv
moderate. 1t is to be regretted that these
courses Of Lectures, occur simultaneously,
especially a, the speakers in connection
with the Seminary Course, are, for the
most part, very distinguished upon the
platforms and the public receiving seven
Or eight such entertainments for the small
consideration of one Dollar. Those de-
serving to keep ahead of the times, and mt
all posted upon the leading features of the
great Eastern Question, and who were
absent last Friday evening missed one of
the greatest treats of the season, DR..
Wells much more than met largest expoc-
tationS awakened by his coming. Without
manuscript note, or u single incumbrance.
except the colossal weight of profoundest
information upon his subject, he stood de-
llberately before his audience, and without
single hesitation, for an hour and half
powered forth in truly natural eloquence,
his rich thoughts, immense findings, and
mastery representations upon the great
Chinese Puzzle of the day, The Turk
in Europe. Without an apology, casti.
alton OF his moderate audience because the
whole town was not present, or even an
expression of disappointment of any kind,
he introduced his subject, by describing "A

Cloud Banners of the AIMS.

Among the most exquisite scenes which
delight the eye OF the European traveller
are those wonderful rose-cOIored cloud
banners, floating from the Alpine cliffs.
But 1t Is only in the suclight that nature
hangs out these beautifultokens So it is
only in the glow Of health-the sunlight of
our inner bcing-that nature reveals those
physical Cloud. banners, the rosy cheek
and enerry lip to praise which every
poet OF the earth has invoked the Muse
TO aid him. But they are us rare as the
cynical Hood conceived Christian charity
to be. Woman, eager to retain this charm,
resorts TO French art and rouge. The
effect is similar to that which would be
produced by substituting auctioneers
hngs for The delicate glowing cloud-bAn-
ners of the Alps, If woman would aid
Nature instead Of adopting art, would
seek health instead of vainly irving to
mask disease, she would not only win the
greatest charm of womanhood-heat
but she would avert much misery both
from herself and others. Dr. Pierce's
tavortc Prescription has received the
highest praise from thousands Of pale,
delicate, suffering women. One buttle
.ofen affords more relief than months of
treatment by caustcs and other medicines.

TEN, and its use often renders the modest
invalid exempt from the most trying of
ordeals-a personal consultation with Il

to become familiar with the cause and

her peculiar organization renders her
