ness prevailing among people by con-
siderfsg the figures of The dead letter
office in Washington. During the
past year nearly six millions and a
quarter letters and packages were re-
ceived there, either wrongly addressed
or unclaimed. This is at the rate of
over seventeen hundred for every day
in the year. The amount of money
contained in them was over $4,000,
and the checks and drafts footed up

The Work Of Congress.

On Monday the closing session OF
the fftieth congress began. 1t is the
"short session." closing on the fourth
of March, 1880. The Presidents
message, a lengthy document, was
read Monday afternoon. 1t differs
largely from that of his last message
in that he speaks of various subjects
the surplus, foreign relations, fishery
question, Sackville episode and other
matters. OF course most of the Demo
Gratis think it a very able document,
while others consider it well enough
for a valedictory. As usual, large
portion of the business begun by this
congress will remain unfinished, and
much of it ought to. Nearly eleven
thousand six hundred bills were in
troduced in the house at the first ses-
sion. The larger portion of these
have died or will die in committee.
About fifteen hundred bills remain on
the house calandar, and four hundred
on that of the senate, having been re-
ported from the committees. Eleven
hundred and thirteen general bills,
joint resolutions and private acts were
passed by the two houses. The Presi- |
dent vetoed one hundred and twenty
nine measures. Among the bills of
general Importance which became
laws are those restricting Chinese i'm
migration; detailing officers of the
army and navy for educational pur-
poses in the State colleges; broadening
the scope of the present law relating
to postal crimes, and making appro-
priationS for numerous lighthouses
and signals on the great lakes.

Don't snub boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison, the
inventor OF the telephone, first en-.
tered Boston, he wore a pair of vel.
low linen brooches in the depth Of
winter. Don't snub a boy because
his home is plain and unpretending
Abraham Lincoln's early home was &
log cabin. Don't snub boy because
of the ignorance of his parents.
Shakespeare, the worlds poet, was
the son of a man who was unable to
write his name. Don't snub a boy
because he chooses q humble trade.
The author of THE Pilgrims Pro-
gress" was a tinker. Don't snub a
boy because of physical disability.
Milton was blind. Don't snub boy
because of duIlness at his lessons.
Hogarth, the celebrated painter and
engraver, was stupid boy at his
books. Don't snub boy because he
shutters. Demosthenes, the greatest
orator Of Greece, overcame a harsh
and stammering voice. Don't snub
any one. Not alone because, some
day he may far outstrip you in the
race of life, but because it is neither
kind nor right nor Christianiike.
