But the recent action ot congress of the car- on which carpet baggers, brought that once dignified bodj to far below the ionise as an parti aan andrevolutionary assemblage. The recent action on the admission of Ames and Texas shows this beyond question.

The enumeratio must be completed and the returns all sent in to the secretary of the interior by th 1st of November next. The secretary of the interior has issued a circular to the marshals on the subject, from which we make the following extract: Each marshal shall separate his district in subdivisions containing 'not exceeding "0 in each, unless the limitation to that number causes inconvenient boundaries.

Where any Bection. of country is distinguished by a special industry, it is hikly desirable that such section- should form a distinct subdivision or group of subdivisions. Particularly is this true of the coast and lake fisheries, whcih have hitherto been moat inadequately enumerated. Itis therefore recommended that, in making appointments and assignments is sections interested in the fisheries, the subdivisions be made'as large as is otherwise convenient, and that they extend wall aloflg the shore, rather than reach far inland.

There were a number of questions in connection with the facture, -elaboration' and dissemination of gossip which this convention wou'd be oiiled upon to discuss, and from which interchange of opinions she thought much good must result. During this a pi rt little Miss, a delegate from a celebrated female ry in New York, was busily engaged informing-the members that "the speaker needn't be so particular about showing her some teeth, for they were all second-hand at her husband had been sued twice for, the pay for them." This exhibition of native talent in so young the veterans present considered as something remarkable. The first subject announced for diaous- im was, '-The utility of societies as a means of propagating scandal." Upon his subject a diversity of opinion was expressed.

A majority of ihe members seemed to be decidedly.in favor of sewing societies, and many were the instances cited in which such organizations had resulted gocd to the cause. A red headed woman from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, said that her experience had been small towns, the manufacture of shirts fonhe heathen seriously interfered with tha main business" of the society. She asserted that two able-bodied- women could do iu ten minutes towards ripping up a tion or basting down a character than a whole sewing society could acoompliah at a prolonged session. Where there were so many present, the discussion could not be- conducted coolly, and the bast points in a case would frequentley be over-looked. sides, in small towns all the women worth talking about attended the sewing society, and was against the rules to talk about each other, or each other's husbands, befori ons not soon to be forgotten fc New United Stales Patents.
