THE NEXT CoNaREss.-The next
Congress has more than the usual
number Of new men. There are
only four members who have
served in seven Congresses, or four
teen years, and only four who have
served in six Congresses, or twelve
years. In the former category is
General Banks. who resigned from
the Thirty fifth Congress after one
mooth's service. Here is the list:
Fourteen years.. s. Cox, w. s.
Holman, w. d. Kelly, N. p. Banks.
Twelve years-Fernando Wood, s.
s. Randall, j. A. Garfield, j. G..
Blaine. Cox, Kelly and Holman
served during the war. Cox entered
one Congress before Holman, and
two Congresses before Kelly. Wood,
Garfield and Randall entered in the
last session OF the war, the Thirty
eighth Congress, although Mr.. Wood
had been member in l84l of the
Twenty seventh Congress. Only
one member antedates him, Mr..
William Pitt Lynde, OF Wisconsin,
who entered Congress in 1870.
General Banks entered in 1852. MIR.
Kirr, of Indiana, entered the next
Congress after the war, the Thirty
ninth, and served eight years. Mr..
Kelly, as the longest in coutaaual
service, therefore, is father ct the
House. Cox and Holman each mad
hiatus in their service of fourteen
years, and, therefore, Kelly out
ranks them.-~Bost0a AdperttSen

No TROUBLE ABOUT PAYDAY
Some uneasiness has been caused in
business circles by the fear that the
bank disaster would result in a fail
ure to supply the money necessary
to pay off the large number of men
employed in the mines controlled by
the Bank people, and in mills of the
Union Mill and Mining Company.
All doubts on this head are now
happily dissipated. A dispatch was
received from Messrs. VIM. Sharon
and d. %. Mills, announcing that
they were making arrangements to
forward all necessary coin from San
Francisco, and that the men would
be paid off as usual. The news will
be great relief to the mercantile
community. The miners are the
great consumers here, and any stop.
page of their monthly payment
would produce very serious results.

There are many cuiiosities about figures tha
are we'll worth studying. For instance, accord
ing to the Lawrence Advertisers carefully con-
structed table OF distances, II two citizens OF
the township o. Almena should start ar the
same time, one 10 come to Paw Paw ana the
other to go 20 lawrence, they would both travei
the same road until they reached Paw Paw-the
destination of one of them. Here they sep
arate. and tine one destined to lawrence would
pursue tie remainder OF his journey alone
According to the table referred to- the one who
came TO Paw Paw would have travelled seven
miles, while tue one who visited Lawrence
Travelled eleven and two-thirds miles. "a dis
lance OF four and two-thirds miles greater than
the man who stopped at Paw Paw. Now, sub
tract seven from eleven and two-thirda and YOU
will have four and two-tbirds miles as the actual
distance between tie two places.
By the same table, two men starting from
the township of Geneva-one for Lawrence
and one for Paw Paw-wlll pursue and follow
the same road until they reach Lawrence,
travelling distance OF eleven and two-thirls
miles, while the one destined for Paw Paw Will
reach that place after having travelled twenty
four and one third miles. or, twelve and two
thirds miles farther than the man who stopped
at Lawrence yet the same table says the dis
lance between Paw Paw and Lawrence is seven
miles. To an old fogy, who derived his mathe
NAUTICAL knowledge from Daboll. this looks like
strange figuring.
