Regularly once a year the items
of expenditure from the Congress
ional contingent fund are pubfished
in the New York Herald and a
few other journals, accompanied
by fierce editorial condemnation
and ridicule. Recently the Herald
has been making itself merry over
Clerk Adam's account for tho last
Congress, assuming to regard the
purchase of opera glasses, knives,
and such articles for jnotnbcrs of
Congress out of tho contingent
fuud as a great national shame.
But really there is nothing vary
bad about it, Every member is
allowed $125 per year for sation
ery and newspapers. .s a matter
of convenience a stationery room,
where members can supply them
selves with everything in this line,
is kept for each House, and every
member has an account there, but
no one can exceed the amount of
his allowance $125. Instead of
stationery and newspapers, opera
glasses and fancy articles are of
ton purchased out of this allow
ance, as they are supplied at
wholesale rates by tho clerk, but
that sum of $125 is as much a part
of tho member's pay as his salary,
and he can use it as he choses. If
at tho end of tho year there is a
balance in his favor with the sta
tionery keeper, the member is en
titled to draw it in cash. But tho
account of tho member with tho
stationery keeper does not ropre.
sent by any means, his expendi
tures for stationery and newspa
pers. There are very few mem
bers of either House who do not
expend more than their allowance
every year for newspapers and
stationery.
The volume of business before
Congress grows larger instead of
smaller, because the increase is
all out of proportion to tho work
done and it is becoming a serious
question as to where the thing will
end. Already members are esti
mating upon the probable duration
of the session, and tho most expe
rienced judges, agree that this is
likely to bo the longest since tho
war. Even if only the moro im
portant and necessary measures aro
acted upon, it would bo hardly
possible to get through before tho
end of July; but it is inevitable
that considerable additional time
must be consumed in giving atten
tion to tho numerous schemes
which do not come under this
head. There is tho Eads' ship
railway taking up tho time of com
mittees, and its" friends are so
much in earnest that thoy will cer
tainly obtain a hearing. Then
there is tho tariff question and the
proposed reduction of internal
revenuo taxes, the "new navy"
enterprise, aud many other matters
equally important which will be
heard and which if considered at
all aro bound to "occupy a great
deal of time. Tho necessary busi
ness like the new apportionment,
tho contested election cases, in
cluding the Mormon question, tho
appropriations, etc., promise at
least to occupy three months, judg
ing fromhe debates thus far.
The repeated complaint every
sessjon of Congress that half the
time of our statesmen is con
sumed in the consideration of small,
inconsequential matters is again
heard. Congressmen are them
selves to blame for this, ilorc
than one-half the bills presented
every session refer to private
claims, which should never como
before the national legislature
chargod with tho vast general in
terests of a population of fifty
million people. Congress might
easily rid itself of this picayue
business by enlarging the juris
diction cF the Court of Claims.
To do so would be a great advant
age "to the country, a benefit-to
Congressmen, and a blessing to
tho honest claimants, many of
whom now wear out their lives in
seeking legislative redress. Con
gress now fritter- away a large
portion of its time in tho considera
tion of questions which aro hardly
of sufficient dignity to co'iie be
fore a board of aldermen.
A peculiarity of the etiquette
in regard to the official mourning
for tho Lite President is of inter
est. It is not only the stationery
used for official correspondence at
tho executive' mansion and state
department, which still lias a broid
black border, but tho visiting cards
of the President and Secretary of
State are alio bordered with black,
while those of the other members
of tho Cabinet aro not. Secretary
Frelinghuysen, although not in
any official position at the time
President Garfield died, inherited
the mourning when became chief
of the state department. The
cards used by his wife aud daugh
ters are plain white, whiln his is
in deep mourning. As is custom
ary here, the name of a member
of tho Cabinet does not appear on
his card, but only his official title,
as, for instance, that of Mr. Fre
linghuvpcn is engraved only, "Tho
Secretary of State;" on that of
Mr. Brewster, "The Attorney Gen
eral," and so on through the list.
On tho President's card, which, as
mentioned, has a wide black bor
der, is engraved only, "The Presi-'
dent." The same style is usual
for a Vice-President, whon wo
have one. Vice-President Wheeler
upon, entering his office was told,
by Senator Anthony, who is tho
authority in the Senate upon all
questions of official etiquette, that
on all his cards, whether, to bo
used on purely official calls or
not, must appear only, "Tho Vice
President." This style has not
been usual heretofore for tho cards
of the Speaker of the House of
Representatives. Tho last Speaker
did not have any title on his, but
merely his full name "Samuel J.
Randall, Pa." Mr. Kiefcr, on tho
other hand, has no name on his,
but only, "Tho Speaker." Spot.
Ougiit One to bo Killed at Sixty?
Huxloy is credited with the sug
gestion that inasmuch as a. man
adopts no new scientific theories
at sixty years of age ho might as
well be killed. It is assumed that
at that age a man has somo settled
convictions about a great manv
perplexing matters. He has
thrown overboard a great many
theories, has sifted tho facts bear
ing on a" great many more, and
has put under his feet a pretty
solid platform. Humboldt was in
tho very hey-day of his investiga
tions at sixty. Ho was a young
man at that age. Agassiz reached
his prime at that age, or rather
would have reached it had he not
overworked and brought on a brain
disease. In the last years of his
life ho was as ready to adopt any
new idea in science, if once he
could find a satisfactory demon
stration, as ever before. Tho fact
was, that in an important sense
Agassiz was tho first to proposo
the doctrine of evolution. He did
not push his conclusion so far as
Darwin, but ho foreshadowed and
clearly outlined that theory. At
sixty Iip stood on the border-land
of discovery, and only wanted a
scoro of years more to have made
momentous discoveries in the near
outlying fields, which he had ovcr-
looked from tho heights he had at
tainod.
There is a'class of men who are
old at midlo ago. They never
grow. any more mind and body
matures early. It might be -well
to prosecute the inquiry if these
people were not precocious? If
they were not prodigies at the age
of sixteen, and if they did not
carry off all the colloge lienors
before thoy had reached tho age of
twenty years? Tho precocious
young men have the ripeness of
immaturity. The- are frequently
windfalls, dropping early and dis
appearing early. The plodding
young fellows who pound out
everything by the hardest blows,
and who are frequently made tho
butts of many a joko for dullness,
inaturo late. Whon their rivals
Iiavo gone over the grade, are
bald-headed and permaturoly old,
these stolid, patiqnt, ox-liko men
are just beginning . to mature.
Thoy have hardly opened their
eyes to the world about them.
TI103' will be young at sixty, and
evon at seventy, if they take care
of themselves. And, being young,
they will bo as teidy for any freh
investigations as the men of thirty.
Columbus set out on one of his
later voyages when ho had nearly
reached the age of seventy. It
was a voyage of discovery. Ho
had obtained a glimpse of the new
world on previous voyages, and
wanted to see more of it wanted
to find, if possible, tho short pas
sago to India, which is now ob
structed by the Isthmus of Darien.
Professor Huxley's theory of
progress only applies to a class of
men who mature early, and who
aro really old at middle life. Ono
might pick out this class of men
in advance. Ho might go among
a group of young men, and, after
studying their peculiarities for a
time, predict, with great certainty,
what per cent would stop growing
early, and what proportion would
grow as long as they lived. Nine
tenths of tho very precocious
young men aro novcr heard by tho
public at forty years of age. At
sixty, according to Professor Hux-
loys theory, thoy might as well be
killed, so far as futuro progress
could givo them any value. They
havo passed the dead lino early,
and aro prematurely old in spirit.
They were probably old when they
wore born, wore old at ten years,
and were prodigious old fellows at
twonty years, knowing much more
than their instructors. At thirty
years thero was nothing moro in
tho world which they had not
learned which is worth knowing.
If any now subject, science or
theory is launched, thoy don't want
to hear anything about it they
have sounded all depths and
heights, and thero is nothing new
under the sun. All mental growth
has been attained. Thero is no
noed of taking him off at sixty, as
Professor Huxloy suggests; he will
take himself off gradually, just
as a tree dies at tho top, having
loss and less foliage every year
until it is gradually a dry trunk
from top to bottom.
Do Lessens atseveutv-fivo voars.
after executing ono of the greatest
engineering enterprises of the
time undertakes another still more
diffiouit, with all the freshness and
vijror of a vounir man. Ho bo-
1 w ----.-,
longs to tho younj old boys, who j
know nothing about the decai
donee of age. Why should not
men prosecute voyages of discov
ery as long as thoy live? if not
as Columbus did, in somo of the
fields or related fields? Tho dif
ference between prematurely old
men and young old men is, that
tho first mentioned class affect to
know everything. They have
beatcu the bush early nnd bagged
their game. The other class are
continually beating the bush for
new game. They nro-bungry for
now discoveries. It is tho differ
ence between growth and decay.
If at sixty a man will accept no
new theory, make no new-explorations,
and looks upon all those
who are making investigations as
visionary, if not dangerous mon.
ho is as good as dead. He may
enjoy something akin to an ani
mal existence after thatj but he
has passed the dead line, and
there is nothing left for him but.
mild decadence.
There was an old minister who
often prayed that the freshness
and enthusiasm of youth might be
preserved to him in all his .years,
and praying and striving for it, lie
was always a young man; at four
score and ten he was tho delight
ful companion of children, as he
was for those of mature years. It
was tho elder Lord Derby who,
accustomed to haying a good time
with some of his boon companions,
on one occasion hearing, his son
approaching "'exclaimed: "Wo
must bush up now, for the old man
is coming." The freshnewj of.
youth which lasts for a life-time,
is partly matter of endowment and
partly of cultivation. Those who
have it are never old. Thoy are
always ready for voyages of dis
covery. Life is fresh and buoyant
to tho last. They never qzx their
interest in the'wprld, and leave it
glad that they have lived in it,
aud that they did not become pre
maturely old at middle life.

Peruvinn Bitters.
Cinchona Rubra.
The Count Cinchon was tho Spanish
Viceroy In Peru in 1630. The Countess,'
his wife, was prostrated by an intermit
tent fever, from which sho was freed bv
tho uso of tho native remedy, tho Peru-1
vian Dane, or. as it was called in tun
language of the country, 'Quiuqulna."
Grateful for her recovery, on her return
to Europo in IKS, she introduced tho
remedy In .Spain, where. It was known
under various names, until Llnnseus
called it Cinchona, in honor of the lady
who had brought them that which was
moro precious than the gpULof the Incas,'
To this day. after a lapse of two nun.
dred and'fifry years, science Bos given
us nothing to take Its place. It effectu
ally cures a morbid appetite for stimu
lants, by restoring tho natural tone of
tho stomach. It attacks excessive love
of liquor as It does a fever, and destroys
both alike. The powerful tonic virtue
of the Cinchona is preserved 'in the
Peruvian Bitters, which are as effective
against malarial fever to-day as they
were lu the days of tho Old Spanish
Viceroys. We guarantee the ingredi
ents of these bitters to be, absolutely
pure, and of .the best knfcwu quality.
