HiRITs OF LIFE OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS-
Ii Is a TACT worthy OF note, that ontot all those
whose names are recorded upon the monu

greater proportion died either by con plants
which they brought with them TO Washing
ION, or which were caused by their %imprudent
and irregular habits OF Lille. Indeed Nlsa
wonder that more do not die, when w on
how entirely their usual course of living
is changed. Nothing can be more irregular
than the lie OF a member OF Congress. lie

siraus OF being present atevery call OF the yeas

what an elect these Irregular hours, and the
constant display before hun OF all thu luXur-

PARTY POLICY.-We have both loco TO-

in Ohio, in one respect. That is, they both
circulate wholly unbranded reports OF defec-

great changes from Taylor to Van Buren,, in
all parts OF the state aud if we were TO believe
them we would suppose that the state might
go for Van Buren,; hot VT have not yet seen
the first Wing who would vote for Van Buren,,
nor have we seen any body who has seen one,
except MIR. Russell OF Harrison county, and he
would give a pair OF new boots 10 be as he

WIRE MAKING. - The first establishment for
drawing wire in this city, established about a
year ago, by Messrs. D. Richards & Co., to make
wire for the Wheeling and Belmont Bridge Com
pany and we were astonished the other day to find
that they were now sending wire TO Baltimore, and
had actually sent some six or eight tons on order,
during the last summer. Their demand is now
very heavy in that quarter, for wire Of the best
quality, which is the character of the WIRE made
here The difference arises mainly from the great
superiority of the iron used here. There is another
wire factory of large dimensions used in South
Wheeling, in which Mr.. J. Mackie is concerned,
which is now working full handed on telegraph
wire. These establishments will have enough to
do, as the demand for this wire will be immense,
especially when telegraph wire of great strength is
required Wheeling Times.

PECULIARPIEs OF DISTINGUISHED MEN.-A
Washington letter writer, in describing the peculi
arites of some distinguished public men, says;
ssIt is interesting sometimes TO see the different
ways in which different individuals get out Of the
same dilemma. Mr.. Calhoun is not often at a loss
for word, but occasionally one sticks in his throat,
in the RECOMMENDATIONS, like Maebeths A1aep. In
such cases he gives petulant twich or two at his
shirt collar, and runs his bony fingers through his
long gray hair till it fairly brises again. Webster,
when bothered for a word, or snarled up in SEN
tence, almost invariably scratches the inner corner
of his left eye, carefully with the third finger of his
right hand Failing in this, he rubs his nose quite
fercely with the bent knuckle of his thumb. As
dernier resort he springs his knees apart until his
legs resemble an ellipss, then plunging his hands
deep into his pockets, he throws the upper section
of his body smartly forward, and the word is
bound to Gomez Gen. Cass, in similar predica-
ment, passes his hand rapidly along the lower edge
of his vest Mr.. Benton sinks his voice that the
remainder Of his sentence is unintelligibe. Mr..
Mangum is Violent and the obdurate word is sup
piled by Deck hook shooi' Mr., Johnson, of Nd,
Crittenden, and Mr.. Hannegan, are never bothered;
they speak right on, and their drafts upon the
Presidents English are never dishonored."
