Congress will meet on Monday next,
December 9th, for the short session, which
will close on the 81 of next March, Very
little business of general interest will proba-
bly, be done beyond passing the appropria.
ton bills Nearly eight hundred millions OF
five and six per cent. bonds will fall due next
year, and since the four per cent. bonds are
now at a premium, it is believed the bonds
about to fall due can all be sold at 81 per
cent. interest. This would effect saving in
interest of more than fourteen million dollars
year. A refunding bill, therefore, in all
probability will be considered. tits not likely
that the approaching session will be an excit-
ing one.

about getting in their corn. 1t don't pay to
leave corn out to husk in the snow I'd rather

The protest of the ministers and others
against the production of"The Passion Play
at Booths Theatre, in New York, has been
effectual in compelling the manager to with
draw it. The passion Play" is theatrical
representation of the life of Our Saviour
IL has been enacted once year for centuries
by the peasants of Ober-Amergau, in Ger
many. There it is more of religious cere-
mony than an ordinary theatrical representa-
ton. Thousands ofpeople flock to see it,
many of them from far distant places
While such play might not seem incon-
gruous to the peasantry of Ober-Amergau,
the mimicry of the solemn and sacred events
upon which the hope of every Christian de-
ponds, is utterly abhorrent to the people
of our own land. Even theatre-gocr and ac-
tors themselves joined in denouncing the
presentation of the play. The manager
therefore acted wisely in withdrawing it,

EpIzooTY.-An observant farmer asks

odd you ever hear of the epizooty, or
horse disease before farmers used bone dust
so extensively? The bones of diseased horses
and cattle are ground up and spread on the
land. May not the seeds of disease among
stock be disseminated in that way?"
If epizooty, as the name implies is n para
site disease, it is difficult to see how it could
be communicated to stock by ground bones,
especially after they have passed through the
various processes of steaming, grinding, &c.
The subject, at any rate, is worth investigat-
ing. The same correspondent has an infalli-
BILE cure for epizooty. 1t is as follows;
"Put peck or more of oats in q bag and
pour over it boiling water until the oats are
thoroughly heated Then envelope the
horses head in the bag of steaming oats, ty-
ing the mouth of the bag around his neck, in
order to keep in as much OF the steam as pos
| sible. Let it remain until nearly cold A
perfect cure will result. The animal should
then be blanketed and kept blanketed until
| cooled off. Care should be taken to prevent
the horse getting wet afterwards, and No
more trouble with the epizooty need be ap.
pretended"

Commander Beardslee, of the United
States navy, says Alaska is not the cold and
barren region it has been represented to be.
Near Sitka are many acres of arabic land,
where wild barley and timothy grow to the
height of five or six feet. In Cross Sound,
Admiralty Island, and Sitka, potatoes, cab
bage, turnips, lettuce, cauliflowers and beets
may be grown. The forests furnish fine
growth of pine, cedar, hemlock and other
evergreen timber. The fishing resources are
almost ineXhaustibe. Cod and halibut can
be caught within mile of the shore as fast as
they can be hauled up The fur trade is also
valuable, the fur seal tax yielding 100000 a
year to the government. A number of spec
ulators have been trying to lease Alaska
from the government They would have
good thing of it, but it would be unfortunate
for the Inhabitants. The latter, in that event,
would be reduced to q condition of slavery
