The Adjournment Of Cd ngress.

The closing session of a Congress is the short
session, expiring by limitation din the 4th Of
March. and it is seldom that much is accomp-
IiShed beyond the passage of tine regular ap-
preparation bills. More was attempted in the
session Just closed than usual the Republicans
showing quick appreciation of the public de-
mands for legislation in certain directions; and
but for Democratic opposition a good deal
would have been accomplished. As it is the
record is highly creditabe. The defeat of the
shipping bill is disappointment to all who are
hoping to see revival of American shipping,
and is particularly disappointing 10 Maine. Our
Congressman worked early and late for the
measure, and their labor will not be wholly
lost. The way has been paved for success in
the next Congress. The bill failed of passage
owing to the opposition of eX-Sptaker Randall
and other Democrats. The river and harbor
bill and the bonded whiskey bill met with mer-
tied defeat.
The passage of tariff bill was ian almost I'M
expected victory for the Republicans. 1t makes
a reduction of S75 900 900 in the revenues, and
is beginning of the work of cutting down the
taxes. The bill goes into effect the first of next
July, except the sugar schedule, which goes in
to effect the first of June The bankruptcy and
educational bills failed, but all the appropria-
ton bills were enacted, so that there will be
no necessity for an extra session of Congress.
In the House, the past session, 10,65O bills were
introduced; $50 were passed; l0,ll6 pages of
the Congressional Record were printed; at /, ;
800 words to the page, this would amount to
10000 900 words. There are 800 bills on the
House calendar. The Senate has passed 30.

-sTAUNToN SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADV

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION IN WEST
VIRGINIA democratic convention
for the third congressional district of
West Virginia, which met at Charleston
Wednesday last to put forward success
sor to the Hon. John E. Kenna, nomi-
mated on the eighth ballot Capt. G. Phil.
Snyder, of Kanawhs county, and the
nomination was made unanimous amid
considerable enthusiasm. Hon. Henry
g. Walker, the heretofore leader of the
greenb back party in West Virginia, adj
dressed the convention, congratulating
1t on its work, promising his support to
the nominee, and declaring himself once
more democrat. Gov. jackson, Sena-
tor Kenna and Attorney-General Watts
also made congratulatory speeches.
Capt. Snyder is q man of excellent abil-
ity, fine speaker, and an untiring
worker. He was born in Kanawha
county in 1847, and, having but few
early advantages, made his own way
without fortune or family Influence. He
was educated In the schools of Charles
ton, read law with Smith & Knight, and
was admitted to the bar in 1870. He
was mayor of Charleston in 1873, was
elected prosecuting attorney of Kanaw-
ha county in 1875. and again in 1880.
For ten years he was collector of the
Kanawha board. He is very popular,
and will doubtless be elected by large
majority. as the district is over
whelmingly democratic.

FOR THE HAPPINESS OF HOME.
FROM A CLERGYMAN's HOME COMES A MESSAGE
CONTAINING THE WISDOM OF EXPERIENCE.

FROM A CLERGYMAN's HOME COMES A MESSAGE
CONTAINING THE WISDOM OF EXPERIENCE.
Home is the centre OF the social system.
From it proceed the best and purest influences
felt in the world. and towards it gravitate the
tenderest hopes Of humanity. For it all good
men labor while their working days last, and
around it their last thoughts linger lovingly
when those days are done.
Yet home does not usually approach in prac.
tice its own ideals. The mother is overtaxed
with household duties and the rearing and
training of her children, while the father fights
the outside battle to win the wherewithal to
leave their marks. 1t is true enough, as Kings.
ley sings in the "Three Fishers" that
men must work, and women must weep"
but too much working and weeping brush all
the bloom from life's fruit.
Mental anxiety and lack of rest and pleasure
induce physical diseases of many kinds;
whence the need of a trustworthy tonic to give
help and strength in times OF need. Among

protested against the behavior of Judge
Mays, the readjuster county judge, who,
in their own language, "instead of using
