He was born April 4, 1810, and is consequently in his seeenty-second year. Eight members of congress are natives of Ireland, four of Scotland, five

of England and three of Germany. Hon. John Turner Waitt. of Connecticut, is the oldest representative, having been born August 27, 1811. Hon. P. Henry 'Jugroof New York, is the youngest member. He was born October 3, 1855, which makes him only twenty-six. There are forty-four members of

congress natives of New York. Kentucky has twenty tbr e, Ohio 1 thirty six, Tennessee seventeen, Ver- * moot eighteen, Virginia sixteen. 1 North Carolina and Indiana thirteen, Massachusetts sixteen.

The Democrats of the senate have seven chairmanships of committees. In the house there is only one, Hon. S. J. Randall, of committee on public expenditures. r here are 239 lawyers in congress, and that is just exactly what ails the country. Less law and more justice is what is needed.

Spares, of Illinois, is the only fighting member since poor Weaver failed in his election to the presidency, orof being returned to congress. Hon. John F. Kenna, of West Virginia, likes fox hounds better than he does enrolled bills. Senator Gorman, of Maryland, used to be a page; so did Messrs. Wise, of Virginia, and Townsend, of Illinois. Senator Vest, of Missouri, and Hon. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, can tell the most and best stories. Representative Dudley C. Haskell, of Kansas, can talk more and louder and say less than any other member. Hon. John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, is one of the best and ablest members. He has the respect of the entire house. Hon. G. W. Jones, of Texas, is the most ambitious member. He proposes to “readjust" his state. Representatives Paul and Fulkerson are the Readjuster, or the “Virginia idee” member-. Rev. J. Hyatt Smith, of New York, is the great Christian statesman of (he house. He ran for congress as a green backer, was elected by tbe democrats, and now votes with the republicans. The Denver Tribune says: “In 1860 Judge Summer, now of Las Vegas, kept the Guy House at the foot of the big hill on the road to the Gregory Diggins. He relates his first remembrance of George Pullman, of palacecarfame, in the west: “One morning as the coach came dashing down the hill at a break-neck speed, it wheeled up at the door for a change of horses, .nd a stout, red-faced man jumped from the box and called out: “Gin and sugar for twelve and a bottle of hairoil for one.” This was George Pullman, and the bald beaded man was Joe Chatfee. Henry Villard, the fiftymillion man of the Northern Pacific, took soda.’ ”

Maxims for Everybody. Pay as you go. Don't stop and tell stories in business hours. Ifyou have a place of business, be found there when wauled. No man can get rich by sitting around stores and saloons. Never fool in business matters Have order, system, regularity and also promptness. Do not meddle with business you know nothing of. More miles can be made in a day by going steadily than by stopping. A man of honor respects his word as he does his bond. Learn to say No. No necessity for snapping it out dog fashion, but say it firmly and respectfully. Use your own brains rather than those of others. Learn to think and act for yourself Keep ahead ratherthan liehind the times. A tart temper seldom mellows with age. A jeweLis a jewel still, though lyin" in the dust. Allow people to think as well of each other as they can. An unruly tongue is harder to’ control than a vicious horse. A character that will not defend itself is rarely worth defending.

A friend should bear with a friend’s infirmities, but not hie vices. As the next to having wisdom ourselves is to profit by that of others, so the next thing to having merit ourselves is to take care that the meritorious profit by us; for hetbat rewards the deserving makes himself one of the number. f'liieago.

It took me four months to take the large one oft and two for the small one. I have used ten bottles. The horse is extremely well, not at all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wou derful medicine. It is a new thing here, but if it does for all what ithis done lor n e its sale will be very great. Respectfully yours, CHAS E PARKER

W hen I overworked it would pain me very much. In April 1878 1 began to think I should b*» a cripple tbr lift; bnt having some of “Kendall s Spavin Cure’ thought I would try it. 1 used one-third of a bottle, and experienced relief at once The {ft n left me and Las not troubled m« since. 1 feel very grateful to you and would recommend Kendall 8 Spavine Cure to all who suffer with sprains and rheumatism.
