A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati Com.

Southern Congressman on the length of the
session, and the unanimous voice was for a
long fight with the President. General
Hooker of Mississippi thinks Congress may
sit till March 4, 1881, "unless the Radicals
adopt different programme from the one
that they have marked out" General Man

SECRETARY SHERMAN has received from
T. W. Phillips, South Carolina man, a
$1,000 Confederate bond, with the request to
file it, Phillips expressing the belief that it
will be paid some day. The South Carolin-
lar. believes that as a measure of conciliation
to Southern bondholders the obligations of
the Confederacy will be assumed by the Uni
ted States. In that case it might be well to
adopt the National idea and pay Confederate
bonds in Confederate Graybacks.

The Dawn of History, Edited by @. E..
Keary, M. A. of the British Museum New

Ing, Short 81 Harmony is very readable and
useful work. 1t is devoted to various BRAN
ches of early prehistoric science; which, by
constant comparison of language, of myth, of
immemorial relics, the wise men of our time
have formulated with amazing consistence of
detail. MIR. Kesry's work is written in a man
ner to ensure popular attention and enjoyment,
which is at the same time, diguihed and clear
in style. The earliest traces of human exis.
tance, the growth of language and its subse-
sequent division; social life and communities;
religious and myths, and writing in its two
primary forms. pictured and phonetic; are
among the topics lucidly and fully treated in
this volume. The chapter on the form alton of
language is exceedingly interesting. Not cor-
tent with pressing into the service of the sun
and dawn the lovely fairy tales and the lumin-
ous Greek myths, the ethnoloeists begin to
encroach little upon the ground Of the ortho-
dox beliefs; and they declare the legend Of St.
Ursula and her eleven thousand virgins to be
a moon-myth; the saint representing the moon
and the maids of her following, the stars]

will certainly commend this Romish superst-
tion to the shrewd Yankee. The customs of
turning to the east when repeating the creed,

december, "the month of gore," was once a
time for human sacrifices. As human life
became too dear to be offered to the gods our
worship took a cheaper form and we substi-
tuted animal sacrifices. These stupendous
butcheries were, after while, looked upon
as heavy tax, and so our thrifty ancestors
restricted their offerings TO the hen-coop-
hens being cheap. To-day, on Christmas, in
accordance with the mocking spirit of the
age, we sacrifice only goose. The same
thrifty spirit shows itself in "donation par

don't want we ostentatiously hand over to
the church. In our drinking customs the
same habit of economy obtains. Once we
poured libatons to the gods. Later the
celestial ones had to content themselves with
the heeltaps. Now they are lucky if they

beer-mug. There are to-day, though, many
people who think it 'bad sign'' to drain

W. G, Coup's renowned triple combination,
circus museum and mcnagerie, gave two
performances, ns advertised, here on Satur-
day afternoon and evening. It is estimated
that over 1000 people witnessed the per
lormauces, aud the universal verdict is that
IL was an excellent show,-one Of the best, if
not The best, that has entertained the people
Of this vicinity for years. One Of its strik-
ing characteristic features is q new departure
from the old beaten track Of arenic perform
ances. The entertainments were Of the high
est order, novel in material, artistic aud re-
fined, not a word or gesture that would
shock The most faslidous and refined taste.
The perfect system that choacterizes the
management Of this gigantic enterprise, in
moving from day 10 day, by rapid transit,
from place 10 place, is not less admirable
than the show itself. II is not unlike the
moving Of an army day by day, by forced
marches, fighting a battle each day, van
gushing the enemy, and moving 10 new
fields 0i conquest. W. G. Conn whu gives
individual attention 10 the minor details oi
the enterprise is certainly the coming great
Snowman Of the age. The circus went from
here to Easton from there II came back 70
Allentown, aud from thence IL set out for
the Schuylkll region. IL will exhibit at
Tamaqud next Friday.
