Piela Day for robustness.

As a general thing public sentiment
has been against any general legislation
during the present extra session OF con-
gress. There is a pretty well denned
idea that the country is afflicted with too
much legislation, and at this par
ticular time there is no special
call for it. While there are many things
that are to be remedied, they can, without
any disadvantage to the business OF the
country or to.the general public, wait until
the regular session. What is most desired
is rest and cessation from legislation and
politician jangling. There are. however,
few men in Congress who seem determln-
ed to let their constituents see that they
are there by introducing bill. In order to
satisfy these men the house has decided
not to adjourn over Mondays but to meet
on that day and give the boys chance. i"
In accordance with this plan the speaker
has announced the standing committees,
and on Monday trouble begins" The
Greenbackers have commended, since the
beginning of the session, for chance
which will now be given to them. 1t may
perhaps be best to let them blow out, which
will have the effect ofconvincing the coun'
try and possibly of convincing themselves
though this is hardly probable, that they
are really not such important men as they
suppose themselves to be. AS long as the
house keeps them muzzled they will con-
tinue to paw up the dust and imagine thai
it is afraid of their theories, and that il
some way they are terribly powerful beings
who will chaw up the party if once lie
loose. No harm can come from allowing
these corked up statesmen to eviscerat'
themselves. The house can then do as
likes without further annoyance from thes
gentlemen. We are disposed to agre
with the New York Herald which pape
says:
The custom of choking off the fools anC
extremists and bottling up their folly i

managed to present sham fronts to tn
public What the House needs is fire
speech and plenty of it, and a fair oppol
tunity for everybody 10 it to bring up hi
pet idiocy and get debate and vote o
it. Mr.. Stephens and Mr.. Ewing are NJ
really dangerous, but when they are stow
ed away IN committee rooms and marke
Extra hazardous" they begin by and

privilege may have, therefore, on partie
it can have only good results for the pul
lie, and if the Committee on Rules, wou
now get a rule passed making deba
possible at all times and on all subjects

pect some good work of this Congress eYt

At a dinner in ancient Egypt, small
and low circular tables were used,
standing on a single pillar, with a
dilated base sometimes one of these
was appOrtioned to every guest, the
yiands being brought round by the
servants successfully, from a larger
pillar-table which had been brought
in, which set, by two men. Round
and oblong cakes of bread, fattened
and pricked in patterns, a goose, a leg
of a kid or antelope, baskets Of figs
and other fruit, were crowned BY a
huge bunch of the lotus lily. Under
the table were bottles of wine placed
on stands in a series, and crowned
with a lotus garland, upon which was
thrown a ] long withe of what seems
from the tendrils a vine, loaded with
clusters of grapes, as well as thickly
set with foliage.
