claimed Brown. My wife and
another woman sat Il whole half

I've heard a couple of women dis
cuss for half day over the best

"Then Brown and White spent
the remainder of the evening in n

year thereafter on the first Mon
day in October instead Of Decem-
Der MS now, and in 1887 and every
second year thereafter, on the sec

thought that by thus adding from
two to three months to the Session
Of Congress, the business Of the
country can be properly attended
to- The fact that 5000 bills have
already been introduced, makes
apparent the necessity for Con
gress to do something more than
it has done i'm the past to enable

Gilt and requirement.

There are not two attributes On
properties of the mind more essen
TALLY distinct than genius and
learning; and yet no two from
whose union such great and mani
fold advantages result.
Wherever they exist singly, 1t Is
quite manifest how much each re
auires the assistance of the 9th
er.
In fact, from their very nature
it appears that it is only when
united that they can be productive
Of any lasting benefit. The very
qualities which each possesses
show them to be mutually depend
ent on each other.
Genius, in the general accepta-
ton of the word, is solely the gift
Of nature.
1t is that sublime conjecture
that mystical organization that
harmonious adjustment and con-
gruity of all mental powers, by
which is produced loftiness of
sentiment, and IL capacity and am
plitude Of conception, that sur
passes the range and limits of or
binary minds.
Learning, on the contrary, Ii the
product of labor acquired by APP
plication and industry, and the re-
suit, not of any union or comblna-
ton of intellectual agencies, or
any peculiar refinement of the
mind, but Of the proper use, eXer-
else and cultivation Of those facul-
ties of perception of which we are
all to a certain degree possessed.

It is believed chat Congress
will this session make provision
for erecting a grand National Lii
brary building, which subject has
been discussed to some OK tent in
every Congress for the past five
years. \ bill las just been intro
duced by Mr.. Long, to purchase
for S55O,OOO, the square just east
Of the Capitol grounds. This
square has on it some handsome
residences erected within the past
two years for which Congress will
OF course have to pay a stiff price,
and then have them torn down to
make room for the Library build
ing. This increased cost is due to
the folly Of Congress in not buying
the square when it was talked of,
and could have been bought for
much less money three yoars ago.
1t is but another illustration Of the
force Of the proyerb "ponny wise
and pound foolish"
