Both parties are beginning to think that an

short time remains for the large amount Of
work that is found to be imperative that the
probabilities Of IN extra session are daily In
creaslng. Mr.. Atkins, Chairman Of the House
Appropriations Committee, who has all the
time thought that called session would be
unnecessary, is now satisfied that 1t cannot
be avoided. Gen. Garfield, who has had long
experience, is also satisfied that the import
ant work of Congress will not be over by the
fourth Of March. Unless both parties recede
from the stand they have taken on the politi-
| cal legislation a called session cannot be
avoided and there Is no prospect of change
on either side. 1t is barely possible that all
the appropriation bills could be gotten
through with IL both houses buckled down to
work tn earnest, but neither party seems In
clined to do this Both parties in the House
to day have been privately talking over the
questions Of procedure on the question oi

Democrats have pretty generally decided to

AT the last session of Congress, a bill
was whirled through the House by consid-
erably more than two-thirds vote, to re-
peal the Resumption bill, and to do yarie-
ty Of other things. 1t came to halt in the
Senate and was returned to the House
"Shorn of its strength" On Saturday
nearly two months after resumption had
taken its place among the accomplished
facts of history-the bill came up again, and
there was quite number of members who
wanted TO vote for it yet.
Faith, tanatlc falth, once welded fast
To some dear falsehoOd, hugs 1t to the last"
The bill, however, was laid on the table
with almost as much emphasis as it was
hurrahed through the House nearly year
ago. The Congressional term expires by
Limitation next Tuesday.

Tho Bar Iron Manufacturers Of the At
lsntic States, at recent conference in Phil
Adelphia, expressed very hopeful senti-
msnt as to the prospects of the trade for 1879,
Prices nave already been raised to paying
basis, with a good demand, but complaint
was made that the price Of extra sizes had
been reduced below the cost of production.
A committee was appointed to revise the
schedule Of extra prices for bar, band, hoop
aud other irons. The prospects Of better
times for the iron trade are likely to be still
further improved by the results of this con-
ference. When manufacturers look hopeful
ly at the future, and clearly recognize the
unproftableness Of the past" there is reason
" believe that destructive competition will
be abandoned, for nothing is more ruinou.

FASHIONABLE FOOLIsHNEss.

There is no modern fashionable notion
quite so absurd as the generally received
idea that to be beautiful and attractive a
woman must possess wan, spirituel2e face
and a figure of sylph-like Proportional fra
gility, in nine cases out of ten the result of
di else. Ay among fashionable bellies it is
considered compliment to be spoken OF as
frail and delicate. They forget that the
natural delicate face and petite figure are
very different from the pale and disease
stricken faces that meet us in the city thor
oughfares, look out from the luxuriant car
riagcs of wealth, and glide languidly through
our crowded drawing rooms. If disease
were questionable, as it ought to be, not a
lady in the land but would take every pos
slble prccaution to secure the fresh blooming
face and well-rounded figure that only
health can give. Ladies should remember
that much as gentlemen may profess to ad-
mire the face and form paled and emaciated
by disease, when they choose n wife they
prefer blooming, healthful, buoyant spir-
tied woman. Dr.Pierce's Favorite Perscrip-
ton is the acknowledged standard remedy
for female diseases and weaknesses. 1t has
the wo-fold-advantage of curing the local
disease and imparting vigorous tone to the
whole system. 1t is sold by druggists.
