the chief body of the British army was not engaged in the fight. ; There is a prospect that both the River and Harbor Appropriation bill and the Congressional Beapportionment bOl will fail. It would not be a matter of much regret. This ' Congress now has only about four days longer to live, and there is no reason to hope that its successor will have both more sense and more honesty. . The season's hog-packing at Cincinnati amounts to 522,425, being a decrease of 12,134 as compared with a year agpi The number of hogs packed in Chicago during the season exceeds

Fraser's Magazine. Mix boiled hog's lard and milk with thick gruel. Stir it well together with tresh cheese, yolks of eggs, and bjain.. Wrap it in a fagrant fig-leaf, and boil in the jgravy of a chicken or a kid. When taken on t, remove the' leaf and souse ic in a potful of boiling honey. Tlie uame of this comestible is derived from the fig-leaf, hut the mixture' consists of equal parts of each, but rather more egg, because this gives it a consistency. This appears to have been a popular dish. To us it seems about as nice as an oyster eaten with brown sugar. Aristophaues mentions a thrium of salt fish and a thrium of fat. In the "Frogs" (134) there is -a dismal joke in the form of a reasonable objection made to leaping from a high tower: 'should lose tvo dg-leaes of brain." The word occurs no less than twelve times in the fragments of the Comic Poets (according to Meineke's Index). Athena3us, in theninth book represents a cook giving an account of how a sucking pig was put on the tab7e with half of it roasted and the other half boiled, its paunch being filled with small birds of various kinds, yolks of eggs, and forcemeat well peppered. "The pig was killed," saj-s the chef, "by a shallow stab under the shoulder, after nearly all the blood had run from it I rinsed the contents of the paunch, offal and all, several times carefully with wine, and hung it up by the feet, Then I gave it another good soaking in wine and having ftrst boited with plenty of pepper the titbits tor tne forcemeat, I s tu ffed them in through the mouth, pouring in plenty of very rich gravy. Next, I plastered half of the pig .with dough made of barley-meal, moistened with oil and wine. Then I put it in the oyen on a bronze supporter, and baked ic slowly, so as neither to burn it or ta&e it off. undone. When the skin was nicely browned, I conjectured that the part also beneath the dough was sufficiently cooked ; and, so, gentleman, I took oft the barley-meaVand placed it on the table for you boiled or roast, as-you please." . 9 ... Monkeys Making Their Toilet. ' An amusing scene was witnessed recently by an American gentleman who was visitingji Hindoo village, in India It was nothing more or less than a monkey family making its toilet in the morning. The family, which consisted of the two grown mou&eys and three young ones, had passed the

night in a large tree near a Hindoo

house. The heat , had caused the gentleman to rise early, and when the monkeys came yawning down the tree one after the other, he was sitting by an open window watching the sun appear in the east. The mother-monkey rubbed her eyes and washed in a little stream near the roots of the tree. Then she seised one of her children by the tail and dragged it nio the stream, the young monkey meanwhile trying

its best to get away, and chattering

constantly. After it had received two or three boxes on the ears it becam e quiet, and then the mother-monkey washed its face, poked her .fingers into its ears, smothed its hair with her toes and let it go. She served the other two children in the same way, cnfling them when they refused to keep quiet. It was' very plain that the little monkeys thought the face-washing entirely unnecessary, and the showed that they were happy when it was over. -

The Business Horizon for the Year. The only sign of business disaster for the year 1S81, says the United States Economist, is that of over-railroad expansion, and rapid increase of seeurivies at the" stock exchanges ' The advance in railroad securities within the past eighteen munths'isover $1,000,000,000. Within the last year about 7,0lj0 miles of railway have been constructed, at an jvverage cost of $35,000 per mile, aggregating a total expenditure of SOOOjOOO. Of course, if the increase in the value of railway securities for the time specified was ..real, it would be a source of general congratulation , but values, as they now .exist', are largely speculative, and therefore sub'ect to violent fluctuations, which from time to time disturb the business interests of the country. The dividends on stocks have not increased in proportion to their advance in Wall street, and on many of them remain, the saimvas in preceding years, while the stockH'iUue has crone uo 100 oer

At a large dinner-party lately given in this city a gentleman was requested to take in a lady bet ween whose famiJ y and his own a quarrel and a lawsuit had been pending for several years. The gentleman complied with rx bow and a smile, and conversation between him and the lady seemed to be more than usually lively during the sixteen courses that go to make up a fashionable dinner. At the close of the evening the host, who had been enlighted in the meantime as to the 'existing relations between his guests, apologized to the gentleman for the blunder he had made. 4! have taken that lady into dinner five times this Wiiiter,and we pas3 each other the next day without even a bow of recoeniiion.

The center of the column owind is composed of a poisoneus gas, to breathe which is death. Round this center there eddy violent gusts of heated and impiegnated air, like that of a furnace. It approaches slowly, amid the whirl of air curren ts that preceds it for some distance. During its presence the only chance of preserving life is found in covering the face with a cloth and lying prone on the sand, inhaling what little pure air may be found next tne earth.

The House Committee ance, reported favorably

to-day (Wednesday) which, by several test votes, seem to suit the majority of the House. The bill tightens up the present law in several respects, and proposes a license tax of $50 for the sale of beer, 75 for the sale of beer and wine, and $125 for the sale of stronger drinks. This bill is regarded with much favor, aud if any Jaw on the subject of temperance is passed, it will be this bill. The "statutes" question 11 grab some call it materialized again Wednesday in the House, in the shape of a proposition that ten dollars bo deducted from the pay of each member who had received the bookjt. The proposition was sent to the Jttdisiary Committee. The House Committee of W7ays and Means recommend the passage of a bili for a loan of $60,000 to pay off the debt of the State Board of Agriculluro on its fair grounds, and appropriating 1,000 for interest on said bonds. The Senate has paased a bill to maKe one voting precinct in towns of 3,000, or less, inhabitants; also a bili to increase the per diem of the Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the House from $6 to $10 per day. The House passed the general appropriatiqn bill this- morning, and sent it the Senate, where it was referred to the Finance Committee and 200 copies ordered printed. A preliminary debate on the bill indicates that there will be a contest over its provisions.

THE INAUGURATION.

The Veto Message. The following is the message of President Ha yes, veoting the Fundi ig bill: To tho Honso of Rcpxesentativcs: Haviug.considered the bill entitled "Au act' to facilitate the funding of tho national debt,11 I am constrained to return it to the House of Itepreseuta-' lives, in which it originated, with the following statement of my objections to Us passage: The imperative necessity lor prompt action, aud the pressure of public duties in this," the closing week .of my term" of office, compel me to refrajn from any at'tempt to make any fully satisfactory presentation of my objections to the bill. The importance of the passage at the present session of Congress of a suitable measure for refunding the national debt which is about to mature, is generally recognized. It has been urged upon the attention of Congress

by the Secretary of the Treasury, and j the

m my last , annual message, it successfully accomplished, it will secure a large decrease in Ihe annual interest payments it th nation, and I earner-fly recommend, that if the bill before vae shull foil,-, that another measure for this purpose be adopted oefore the present Congress adjourns. While, in my opinion,. it would bo wise to au thorize the Secretary of the Treasury, in bis discretion, to offer to the public bonds bearing .!U per cent, interest in aid of refunding, 1 should not deem it my duty to interpose my constitutional objection to the passage of the present bill if it. did not contain in its fifth section provisions, which, in my judgment, seriously impair tho value and tend to the destruction of the present national banking system of the country. This system has now been in operation almost twenty years. No safer nor more beneficial banking system was ever established, Its advantages as a business arc free to all who have the necessarv capital. It'furnishes a cur-

It mined and snowed at intervals all last night, and at 9 a., m. was snowing rapidly, hut at this hour, 10 o'clock, the clouds aro working away aud the sun is shining. All Washington was put at an early hour, notwithstanding the storm, and men, women and children were hurryiug through snow and slush from every direction, all intent on reaching Pennsylvania avenue, to witness the inaugural procession, or to the Capitol to be present at the ceremonies to take place there. During the entire night trains laden with military and civilians arrived, aud continued throughout the

of the bill-holder,

hcon equaled by

nience and security

has probablv never

that of sny vth.cr banking sysletn. its notes arc secured by deposit with the Goveruiiient of interest-bearing bonds of tlie United States. The sectiou of tho Dili before me which relate&to the national banking system, and to which objection is mane, is not an essential pare of a funding measure. It is as follow-: Section 5. From and and after the first day of July, 1S81, the 3 per cent, bonds authorized by t he first section of this act shall be the only bonds receivable as security for national bank circulation, or as "security for the safe keeping aud prompt payment of the public money 'deposited with such banks, but when any such bonds, deposited for the purposes a foresaid, shall be designated

for purchace or redemption by the Sec-

retary ol the Treasury, tlie banking association depositing the same shall have the right to substHuto other issues of the bonds of the United States in lieu thereof; provided that no bond upon 'which interest has ceased shall be. accepted or continued on deposit as security for circuluiion or for the safe keening of the public money, and in case the bonus so deposited shall not be withdrawn as provided by law, within thirty days after interest has ceased t hereon, the banking association depositing the samo. shall be subject io liabilities and proceedings on the part of the Comptroller provided for in Section 5.234 of the Revised Statutes of the Udrited States; and provided further, that Section 4 of the ace of June 20, 1B74, entitled "An act fixing the amount of United States notes and providing for the redistribution of national bank currency, and for other pRrposes," be and the' same is hereby repealed, and Sedione 5,158 and 5,160 oi tlie Revised Statues he and the same, are hereby re-enacted. Under this section it is obvious th&t no additional banks will hereafter be organized, except possibly in a few cities or localities, vnere tho prevailing rates of interest in ordinary busineas are extremely low. Jvo new banks can be organized, and no increase of the capital of existing banks can be' obtained, except by the purchase and deposit' of 8 per cent, bondsj No other bouds of the United States can be used for that purpose. The. one thousand millions of other bonds recently issued by the United States and bearing a higher rate of interest than 3 percent., and, therefore, a better security ior the bill-holder, cannot, after the 1st of July next be received as socuri:y for bank cireUat ion. iliisisa radical change in the Banking law. 'It takes from the banks the right thov

have heretofore had under the law to omchase" and deposit as securitv for'

their circulation any of the bonds, is sufcni by the United States, and deprives the bill-holder of the best secu

rity which the banks are able to gi ve, by requiring them to deposit bonds having the Je; A value of any bonds ssned by the Government. T he average rate of taxation of capital employeii in. banking more than double the rate of taxation upon capital employed hi other kv-ttimato business. Under these circumstances, to amend the Banking law so as to deprive the banks of the advantage of securing their notes by the most valuable bonds issued by the Gove nment, will, it is believed, in a large part of tlie country be a practical pvohibifion of the organizing. of nev. banks, and prevent existing banks from enlarging (heir capital. The national banking system, if continued at all, will be a rao-! nopoly in the hands of those already engaged in it, who may purchase Government bond? bearing a more favorable interest than the 3 per cent, bonds, prior to next July. To prevent the further organization -ot banks is to put in jeopardy ihe whole system by tukiii from it that feature that makes it

as now is, a banking system free, qpon the same terms, to all wno wish to engage in it Even tho existing banks will be in danger of being driven from business by the additional disadvantages to which they will be subjected by this bill. Tn short, I cannot but regard the fifth section of the bill as a step in the direction of the destruction of the na

tional banking system of ourcouniry,

of more than five-million people, and has opened to each one of them a career of usefulness; It has given new inspiration to the powers of self-help in both races by making labor more honorable to one and more- necessary to the other, The influence of the force will grow greater and bear richer fruit with coming years. No doubt the great change has caused serious disturbance to our Southern commu

nity. This is to bo deplored, though it j

was unavoidable; but those who resisted the change should remember that under our institutions there was no middle ground for the negro race between . slavery and eqiud citizenship.. There can be no permanent disfranchised peasant y in the United States. Freedom can never yield its fullness of blessing as long as law orits administration places the smallest obstacle in the pathway of any virtuous citizen The emancipated race hus already made remarkable progress. With unquestioned devotion to tho Union, with a pat fence and gentlenesH not born of fear, they have "followed the light as God gave them to see the light.' They are rapidly laying the material foundations of self support, widening the circle of intelligence, and beginning to enjoy the blessings that gather around the homes of the industrious poor. They deseive the generous encouragement of all good men. So far as my authority can lawfully extend, they shall enjoy the full ami equal protection of the constitution and laws. . EQUAIj SUFFKAGE. The free enjoyment of equal suffrage is still the question, and a frank statement of the issue may aid its solution. It is. alleged tnafc in. many communities negro citizens are practically denied tlie freedom of tho 'baliot. in so r'as the truth of this allegation is admitted, it is answered that in many places honest local goyei nment is im7 possible if t he mass of uneducated negroes are allowed to vote. These are grave allegations. So far as the latter is true it is the only palliation5 that can be offered for opposing the

freedom of the ballot, A

government is certain iy a great ovil,

which ought to be prevented, but to violate the freedom and sanctity of suffrage is more than an evil; it is a crime which, if persisted inj will destroy the Government itself. Suicide it not a remedy. If in other lauds it be high treason to compass tlie death

At 12 o'clock exac tly, the Speaker of the House, Mr. Randall, and the President of the Senate, Vice President Wheeler, made brief addresses, in which they thanked the members of their respective Houses for the kindness and forbearance which they had met with during their terms of oflice. The Congress was then declared at an end, and the rneiuhere of jthe House rapidly flocked to the Senate Chamber, where every thing was in readiness for the inauguration. Before neon tho President and Vice Presdent elect entered, escorted by the committees an pom ted for the purpose. The Vice President was first sworn in, and then the President, Chief Justice rvt'aite, administering the oath of oflice. During the delivery of the inaugural address which occupied r early an ho.ur; the greatest silence was maintained in the Chamber, aud at its conclusion the applause was deafening.

It is noiv three days more than a hundred years siaee the adoption of the first written constitution of the

UnHed States, the articles of confederation aud of perpetual union. The new Republic was then beset with danger on evciy hand. It had not conquered a place in the family of nations. The decisive tattle of the war for independence, whose' centennial anniversary svih son be gratefully celebrated at Yor&tdwn, iaad not yet been fought. The colonists werti struggling not only against the armies of Great 33ri tain, but. aginsr, tho settled positions of mankind, lor the world did not believe that the supreme authority of government could be safely. trusted to t he guardianship of the people themselves. We cannot overestimate the. fervent love of liberty, the intelligent courage and saving common sense with which cur fathers made the great' experiment of sslf government. When they found after a short time that the confederacy of Staves was too weak to meet; the r.ecessities of a vigorous and expanding Republic, they boldly set ::t aside, and in its stead established a national Union, founded directly upon the will of the people, and endowed it with tuture powers of .'Sclf-pr-sservation and with ample authority for the accomplish tneut of its great objects. Under this constitution the boundariesjof freedom have been enlarged, the foundations of order aed peace have been strengthened, and the growth in all the better elements of national life has vindicated the wisdom of the' founders and given new hope to their descendants.

Wood, anticipating the

depression, has just entered unon a ca

reer of unexampled prosperitiy. The withdrawal of currency from eircn lalion by the national bauks, and the enforced winding up of the banks in consequence, would inevitably bring serious embarrassments and disaster to the business oi the country. Banks of issue ate essential instruments of

modern commerce. If the present efficient and admirable system of banking i? broken down, it will inevitably he followed by a recurrence to other and inferior, methods of banking. Any measure looking io such a reauli; will be a disturbing element in our financial system. It will destroy confidence aud surely eheox the growing pioaper ity of the country.

The prWrvaticn ot the public credit, and theresumpticm of specie payments, so .successfully "attained by the Administration of my predecessors, has enabled the people to secure the blessings which, the seasons brought. By the experience of commercial nations in all ages, it has been found that gold and silver afford the only 9afe foundation ior a monetary system. Confusion has recently been created by variations in the relative value of the two metals, but I confidently believe that arrangements cau be made between the leading commercial nations which will secure the general use of hoth metals. Congress should provide that compulsory coinage of silver now required by law may hot disturb, our

monetary system oy anvmg eiuitn metal out of circulation. If possible, such fcdjustmeuC should be made thai; the purchasing power of every coined dollar, will be exatitly equal to its debt paying power in the markets of the world. The chief duty of the Kationai Government in connection with the currency of tho eounrrv,isto coin and declare its value. Grave doubts have been entertained whet he r Jongre ?& is authorised by the const ifcutiion to make any form of paper money legal tender. Tho present issue of Uuitetr States notes has been sustained by tho necessities of war, but such paper should depend for its value and currency upon its convenience in use and its prompt. redemption in coin at the will of a holder, and not upon its compulsory circulat ion. Thefl note's are not money, but promises fo po.y moncy. If holders demand it, the promise should be kept. HFUKDTKO.
