Congress has adjonrnel after .
session Of unusual length. It must
be confessed that The session has not
net the reasonable expectations Of
the country. The New York IfjG-
une says;
The most prominent feature Of
the session has been the waste Of
time, by absenteeism, by windy talk
and most Of all by disgusting per-
sonal wrangles A great pant Of the
long session has been spent in hear
ing "personsl explanations" which
have bad nothing 10 90 with public
business, and have been always un-
spcaRabiy wearigome and sometimes
intoIerably disgusiing The inetinct
Of combat is strong in the Anglo
Saxon race, it is true. Bot when
men want 20 zee a dog match, or p
prize fight, or 10 bear two feb
women bIackgua-d each other, they
do not wish TO disgrace lhe country
BY importing these entertainments
into the halle of Congress. IL is
said that Infinite Providence Las
made no creature in vsin-not even
the skunk. But there are several
creatures that decent men do not
care to have in their psrlors. and

The situation IN the East is be-

raised their colors over Su,z, which
NJ, De Lesseps has 40 loudly pro-
claimed to le his own. Russia has
order'd her trooFs TO be in readi-

satisfied with the explanation that
the Union jack was holsted over the

with the colors OF Egypt To less
prejudiced minds il would not be
regarded as hostile to raise the na.-
tioual colors over national con-
sulate. 1t is the usual thing TO 90
in all nations. But when nation
is intent on war almost any slight
cause can be magnihed into q fight
:ug offeuse. The British claim to
take possession Of places only at tho
proposal of the Kbedive. In this
consistent policy is pursued from
the beginning, the Khedlvs having
been by England recogniz d az

suaigbtlorwardly leads other nations

France they will forthwith con-
woke the Legislature to consult

ration, however, come tidings thtt {
