WASHINGTON. Dec. 25tn, Is


| Mr.. EDITOR-Congress took a recess
from the 10th inst. to jan. 6, 1880
Very little was accomplished during
the nineteen days they were in session
as since the late elections in the North
ern States it appears to be the study
OF the Confederate Democracy to see
how little they can do and to keep
their honest southern state-right views
from public view if possible.
Gov. Pound on the 9th inst. intro
duced a Joint Resolution to amend the
Constitution Of the United States
making the term which the President
and Vice President shall serve six
years, and provides that no person shall
be eligible to the office Of President or
Vice President for more than one term
consecutively. Also providing for the
election of members of the House of
Representative once in three Years.
This amendment has received the en-
dorsement of many of the leading pa
pers of the country and those engaged
in business pursuits would be thankful
if longer time between the presiden-
tial elections could be accomplished,
but as this session, outside of the reg
ular appropriations for the expenses
of Government, will be almost eyclu-

pounds. The quantity of butter was
100000 pounds. The same report
adds:
The export must continue to increase.

Arab Life i'm the Syrian
Deserts.

This was the subject Of DR.. Mer-
rilPS lecture at the Lowell Insti-
tute, Boston, the other evening
The region is one Of great histo RI
ca interest, yet it is occupied now
only by the wild Bedouin. With
out the group of black tents, the
herds of canels. and the vast m ov-
ing caravans the picture of the
desert is not complete. The W ars
Of the Arabs are not bloody, and
their battles resemble those OF Ho-
mer rather than those of Won
Moltke or General Grant. They
despise manual labor, and employ
Christian fellaheen or mental
class of Moslems to till the soil for
them. Their food is scanty--rice,
grease, cracked wheat and sour
cancels milk, &C., and their dishes
are very uninviting. Arab wo-
men who do the cooking are very
filthy in their habits. Yet the
Arabs make excellent coffee. which
is drank with their guests as a
ceremony. The men always make
the coffee, which might account
for its good quality. In. and about
their tents men, women, children
and animals have about equal
rights. The tribes with which
the speaker had most to do num-
bered from 400 to 1000 and 1000
tents each. Great tact and pru-
dence are required to live and
travel among them in safety.
Kindness, firmness, and some
small presents generally open the
way to their confidence and favor.
Hospitality is but one of their no.
BILE traits; yet, on the other hand,
they can steal and murder if their
interest demands it. In fact, they
have reduced throat cutting to a
fine art. The women are regard
ed as inferior to the men, and are
very ignorantand degraded. Their
condition is wretched, yet posi-
bly, they could be reached and ele-
waited by the efforts of self-sacri-
ficing Christian women, were they
to go among them and live. The
women, however, are not kept so
secluded as are the Moslem wo-
men in the towns. The men are,
as a rule, very bright and enjoy a
good story or joke. They COM
pose songs and rhymes, which are
repeated for the entertainment of
the camp night after night. Some
Bedouin children have occasional
ly found their way into Beth
lehem, Jerusalem, Beirut, and
Damascus. Under favorable cir
cumstances those people might
possibly be reached by civilizing
influences. The lecture abounded
in amusing and entertaining incl
dents which came under the
speakers own observation while
prosecuting his work in the
desert. @

The Reason of Birds.
London Spectator.

London Spectator.
May l tell you a few facts to
prove that birds can be, like their
human friends, both reasonable
and unreasonable? /. Several years
ago pair of my canaries built.
While the hen was sitting the
weather became instensely hot.
She dropped and 1 began to fear
that she would not be strong
enough to hatch the eggs. /
watched the birds closely and soon
found that the cock was a devoted
nurse. He bathed in the fresh
cold water Isupplied every morn
ing, then went to the edge of the
nest, and the hen buried her head
in his breast and was refreshed.
Without hands and without a
sponge, what more could he have
done? 2. The following Spring
the same bird was hanging in a
window with three other canaries,
each in a separate cage. was sit
thug in the room, and heard my
little favorite give a peculiar cry.
/ looked up and saw all the birds
crouching on their perches, para
lyzed with fright On going to
the window to ascertain the cause
of this terror, | saw large bal
loon passing over the end
of the street. The birds did
not move till it was out of sight,
when they all gave a chirp of re-
lief. The balloon was only within
sight of the bird who gave the
alarm, and | have no doubt he
mistook it for bird of prey. 3 |
have green and yellow canary
hanging side by side. They are
treated exactly alike, and are
warm friends. One has often re-
fused to partake of some delicacy
till the other was supplied with it.
One day / had FIVE blossoms of
dandellon l gave three to the
green bird, two to the yellow one.
The latter flew about his cage,
singing in shrill voice, and show
ed unmistakable sigus of anger.
Guessing the cause, Itook away
one of the three flowers, WHEN
both birds settled down quietly to
enjoy their feast
