AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
Both Houses of Congress have resolv-

June. The fixing of a day for adjourn-
ment always gives a new fillip to busi-
ness. Speeches at once begin to be con-
fined to the immediate measures under
consideration, and all the proceedings
of Congress take a practical turn, look-
ing to a conclusion by the day fixed for
adjournment. Buncombe ceases to mo-

Nothing will save- this country but

mark that this is extraordinary, and
hundreds of thousands may come and
find nothing to equal it. It is my opin-
ion, that as a general thing, this coun-
try makes 110 exception to the general
saying : " that fi mine needs a mine to
open it," and that only one vein in a
thousand is successfully worked.

and a good many other measures of

This large mass of work awaiting the
action of Congress will require the as-
siduous and industrious attention of that
body during the whole six weeks that
have been assigned to it; and, when the
declaration of the annual message is re-
collected, in which the President adver-
tised Congress in advance of his repug-
nance to the practice of crowding an
immense mass Of legislation into the
closing hours of a session, excluding the
Executive from the opportunity of ex-
amining the provision Of bills and de-
priving him of his constitutional discre-
tion in that regard, it is obvious that
nothing but a strict and close applica-
tion to practical business, from now to
the close of the session, will enable
Congress to get through with the work
before it, in the time allotted, and in
season to afford opportunity for consti-
tutional deliberation to the Executive.

Remarkably Poor Soil.—An in-
quisitive Yankee was standing at a tav-
ern door, in the lower part of Jersey,
watching a funeral pass by. At the
head of it was a large manure cart,
moving along very slowly, and making
no offer to turn oat for he procession.
The Yankee was astonished at this
want of attention on the part of the
driver of said cart, and turning to a
Philadelphian, who was standing by,
he remarked:
"I guess the folks ain't very, perlite
about here: tu hum, where I live, they
always turn out for a funeral."
"Oh, that's part of the procession,"
remarked the Philadelphian gravely.
"Do tell ? you don't say so ! Heow ?"
exclaimed the astonished Yankee.
"Why, you see, it is a very poor san-
dy soil about here, and nothing comes
up they plant, unless they manure it
well, so when they bury a fellow, they
throw a whole cartload in the grave,
to make him rise at judgment day !
It would no doubt be much better
for the future condition of many New
Jerseymen if the manure were left out.

The end Coming.—Some of the lead-
ing Second Adventists in Newark, New
Jersey, have again set a period for the
destruction of the world—professing to
have discovered the errors of their pre-
vious calculations, and to have finally
ascertained the exact truth. They're-
gard the recent financial depression and
the prevailing religious excitement as
signs of the last days. By the next ar-
rival from Europe, they expect to hear
of the destruction of the city of Rome,
and this will portend a conflagration of
the world next summer. The prophecy
of Lord Rosse, the astronomer of Eng-
land, that the coming summer will be
the hottest one ever known, is thought
to favor the hope of a general conflagra
tion. 1
