Congress adjourned yesterday till Janu-
airy 6. We suppose majority OF those
members whose homes are not too distant
will spend the festive season with their
families and in intercourse with their
neighbors. The residue will seek amuse-
ment in New York, which offers more at
fractions than any other American city.
There Is no reason to hope that the national
legislators will get their mental horizon
enlarged by intercourse with the people.
Most of them will carry back to Washs
ington, which they reasonable, the same
narrow prejudices tfey brought with them
at the beginning Of the session. They have
been long enough at the capital to exhibit
their tendencies, and the prospect is slen-
der indeed that theIo will be any useful
legislation on important subjects.
But the prospect has one consoling fea-
ture. If there is TO be no wise financial
legislation there will be none that is con-
spicuously dangerous and mischievous.
The opponents of sound currency
have learned something from the events Of
the year. They have abandoned their ag-
HTesSh4Vo utJltu0o dh0 oth&Ad oa sho oCAoA-
sive. Instead Of attempting to carry new
and wild measures of imitation they will
merely insist on maintaining the status
quo. They will not accept the sound recon-
mendations OF the President and Secretary
Of the Treasury, but while they block the
road of progress they will not attempt a
retrograde movement. All they are dis
posed to insist on is o retention
of the whole volume Of the green
backs with their legal tender function,
.and maintenance of the present law for
the coinage of silver. We have the salts
faction Of knowing that what is gained is
assured, and that there is no danger OF any
steps backward. But as things are likely
to remain at q stand we would fain hope
that the session may be short. There will
be vigorous debate Of the currency ques-
tion, which will contribute to educate and
ripen public opinion, but it will bear no
practical fruit during this session. We hope
the appropriation bills will be fastened
when Congress reconvenes. and after their
passage nothing would give the country 80
much satisfaction as an early adjournment.

impede the approach of relieving columns
and to overcome the obstacles between them
and the troops besieged in Sharpur.
Once fairly in arms with tins resolve they
will prove, as they have done before this, en-
ergetic fighters. They can assuredly destroy
the troops in the country if they can get at
them. They could if the fourteen thousand
men there we're all British but two-thrds
of them are Hindoos, men not SO good in
themselves as the Afghans, though the
English organization and association give
them superior value. Perhaps the fate of
the men west of Peshawur, who are not in
the Sharpur cantonments, may be regarded
as sealed but if what has been reported of
the position of the men in this fortified camp
is true they may yet come out all right.
1t is said they have supplies for five months.
with all the ammunition they can need in
that time. This seems to us not very likely
to be true; but if it is true it is not proba-
BILE that that force can be overcome. Their
position cannot be stormed by the Afghans,
and they cannot be starved out But the
favorable reports may be only q result of
the system of subjecting all correspondence
to official supervision. Bad news cannot
reach England. though there may be plenty
of bad news to tell If they are not we'll
supplied the result will come shortly, and
il it be bad one, as it must be apparently,
the British nation will reckon with the men
in power for the calamities Of war wan
tonly provoked in q spirit Of mere official
ambition; an absurd war made to secure
so-called scientific frontier, which proves
not to be particularly scientific on trial.

THE WEATHER.-The area of high barometer
that was moving over the lake districts ON
Thursday is now over the New England and
Middle Atlantic States, and is passing slowly
into the ocean. II is followed by tongue of
relatively low barometer which extends from
the Western Gulf to the British possessions The
pressure is rising rapidly throughout the North
west and upper lake regions. The zone of
low barometer extends from the Gulf of
Mexico northwestward to the North Pacific
coast having centre of disturbance over Cen
trail California. Snow fell throughout the lake
regions, central valley district, Middle Atlantic
and New England States, while light rains are
reported from the western slope of the Allie
ghanies. The weather was cloudy in all the
districts except on the Gulf coast The tenn
perature rose decidedly in the Gulf
States, remained nearly stationary in the
central valley districts and fell else
where. The winds have been from fresh
to brisk in the West and Northwest, and gen
orally light in the other sections of the country
The weather in New York and its vicinity to-
day will be warmer and cloudy, with occasional
rains, followed by clearing. Tomorrow it will
be colder aud partly cloudy.

Mr.. Maclear, q Scotch chemist, says he
has made artificial diamonds. gems which
Professors Tyndall and Smyth and Mr..
Maskelyne, Of the British Museum. ''do not
doubt are diamonds" Severe scrutiny of
the truth of this statement must be made
before the world will accept it, for in these
days of 'ssalted" diamond mines and other
quaint contrivances of that nature it must
be deemed possible that the learned judges
of diamonds named did not have before
them the diamonds actually made by
the Scotch chemist. If he wants to
sell patent process for making dia-
1nonds it would be worth his while
to spend little money to create faith in
his process But it is certainly not abso-
lutely incredible that this discovery has
been made as stated. The nature and
structure of the diamond have been known
this great while, and much ingenuity has
been directed to the endeavor to initiate
those processes of nature by which its
capitalization was probably brought about.
Diamond particles too small to have any
value have certainly been made from
candy, but it has seemed impossible that
there could ever be initiated in laborato-
ries the heat and pressure Of the natural
processes by which pure carbon is crystal
lized in large masses. If Mr.. Maclear has
solved this problem diamonds will become
cheap one of these days, and monarchs
will take them out of their crowns and
beauty lay them aside as common and
vulgar.

sat reading, glad for the silence that lay
around her, when the door was suddenly
thrown open and a child entered with the
exclamation "A letter for you, Miss How

She took it, looked at the bold address,
and reading, found this:
MISS HOWARD Your brother Frank is
sick. Incloscd pleased find letter of his
dictation. Respectfully,

But WAC was Burke Waring and how
did Frank come to know him?
Frank did not get we'll in day; so, for
many weeks. Burke Warning had not only

like this:
"Miss HOWARD Frank is wei, now

"BuRKE WARlNG-I will.
