The Forty.fnurth congress.

Careful scrutiny of the list of Repre-
sentatives-elect to the Forty-fourth Con
gress reveals but one Smith, Georgia
gentleman. This is an unusually small
representation in a large family. There
is but one Jones, also-Thomas L., of
Kentucky. But the Williamses loom up.
There are no less than six of them
Jerry, of Alabama James, of Indiana, and
Alpheus, of Michigan-all Democrats
and William, of Michigan Andrew, of
New York, and Charles, of Wisconsin
all Republicans. The Harrises come
next-three of them-Henry, of Georgia,
and John, of Virginia, Democrats and
Benjamin, of Massachusetts, Republi-
can. All the other members who are not
single travel in couples. There are two
Woods-Fernando of New York, Demo
GRAFT and Allen, of Pennsylvania, Repub
hcan. Two Phillipses- of Mis-
sour, Democrat and William, of Kan
sas, Republican. Two Hamiltons--
Andrew, Of Indiana, and Robert, of New
Jersey, both Democrats. Two Caldwells
John, of Alabama, and William, of
Tennessee, both Democrats. Two Wal
laces-John, of Pennsylvania, and Alex
ander, of South Carolina, both Republi-
cans. Two Wilsons-James, of Iowa,
Republican and Benjamin, of West Vir-
GINA, Democrat. Two Burchards
ratio, of Illinois, and Samuel, of Wiscon-
sin, both Republicans. Two Reillys-
John and James, of Pennsylvania, both
Democrats and two Bagleys-John and
George, both of New York. the first a
Democrat and the second a Republican.
There are two Clarks with the same
initials, John b.. and both are Democrats,
one from Missouri and the other from
Texas. Another variation is similarity
in peculiar given names I; an illustration
of il being furnished in Scott Wike, of
Illinois, and Scott Lord, of New York,
who are both Democrats.

Gov. TILDEN, of New York, perpetrates
in his message bull of very fine pro-
portions. When writing of the North
west he speaks of conjunction with the
social barbarism of an uninhdbitcd
wilderness. This reminds the Albany
Express of the debate on the leather tax
of 1874, in the Irish House of Commons.
When the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Sir John Purcell, observed with great
emphasis that in the prosecution Of the
present war every man ought to give his
last guinea to protect the remainder
Mr.. Vandeclure said "that however that
might be, the tax on leather would be
seCerey ret by the Jarg0oted peasantry
of Ireland"

And his soul within

Yet hvn VIII cheat ana pinch and save
Nor cArry their treasures beyond the grave,
All their gold some day

Sympathy for Mrs. Lincoln in
England.

A London correspondent OF the
Chicago JournaI, thus writes of the
extent Of sympathy for Mrs, Lincoln,
when the news of her insanity was re-
ceived,
Il have rarely witnessed more uni
versal and spontaneous outburst of
sympathy and kind feeling than has
been manifested in this country on the
receipt Of the sad news respecting Mrs.
Lincoln. In common with large p0r
zion of he prss on your side of the
water, the newspapers here had for
merly animadyerted unkindly, and Of
ten severely, upon certain passages in
her history, which certainly were unex-
pialnable apon any other theory than
lnc'pient insanity but which theory,
strange to say, was never suggested by
anybody. 1t was SO much easier and
SO much more in accordance with hu
man nature, sad though the confes-
ton be. to attribute her strange con
duct tc moral, rather than mental,
toloS yuCIdClGo, Gilit VIC Tti ulu, dHI are
now heartily sorry for it. Everything
that was mysterious is now thoroughly
explained. and but one feeling exists
throughout the nation. For the poor
lady herself a thrill of sorrow has
reached from heart to heart, and for
her friends and relatives the profound
est sympathy is both entertained and
freely expressed. [ know of no sensa-
tion that has been so sincere, heartfelt
and universal, since the sudden an
nouncement of the fate Of her illustri-
Gus husband, on the day which [ char
acterized in my letter of that date, and
which [ can now repeat, as the black.
est day [ have seen in England. It is
such universal outbursts OF sympathy
as these that afford convincing proofs
that after all there is warm feeling at
the bottom between the people of the
two countries. Certainly. after wit
Messing what have just now seen, T.
shall be disposed to forgive much that
might otherwise be regarded as disa-
greeable. Blood is surely thicker than
water.

A Maryland Hermit.
From the Baltimore American.

On the Hartford road, just beyond
the city limits, there lives in frame
back building man apparently fifty
years of age, whose chief delight
seems to be to shut himself from the
world for several days and to enjoy
the company Of number of animals
which he keeps constantly around him.
Nearly dozen of dogs and half the
same umber Of cats have made this her
mits abode their domlclle. He seldom
leaves the house except to make visit
to his relatives in the country.
Whenever he gnes away he provides
the animals with sufficient quantity
of food for the number of DAYS he ex-
poets to be absent and then fastens she
windows and bolts the doors SO that
none of them can escape. He perues
no occupation, but is possessed of an
income which enables him to live
independently.

There are but three persons who
are in possession of life passes on
the Hudson River Railroad One o.
these persons is Mr.. John B. Jervis,

is another who possesses a life pass.
His was issued in 1856; hers in 1863.
The third person is Mr.. Governor
kimball, Of West Point These
passes are composed of solid silver.
upon which are engraved the name of
the possessor, date when given, occu-

A Calmity in Iceland.

About six weeks ago there was a
heavy rain Of ashes and cinders along
the northern coast Of Norway, COW
erlng the ground several inches deep.
Investigation revealed the fact that
these strange materials, coming from
northwesternly direction like i'm
mense clouds through the air, were of
volcanic origin. 1t was at once
thought that there must be an erup
ton Of Mount Hecla in Iceland. A
steamer was dispatched from Coppen-
hagen, and that vessel has returned
from Rel kjavik, with news of an ur-
paralfeled disaster 1t seems that
the outbreak began on Christmas, and
has continued ever since with scarce
any interruption. For seven weeks
before Christmas the inhabitants wer4
terrified by subterranean noises like
thunder, which extended through
nearly two thirds of the island
Earl y in January followed earthquakes
in all directions, and at last ar old
extinct volcano near Fatrayskud,
opened, and for four weeks continued
to eject immense quantities of liquid
fire, lava, ashes, and muddy fluid
mass at boiling heat The village
anl some smaller hamlets and farms
within q radius of twenty miles. were
destroyed, and over thousand people
had to flee for their lives.
After four weeks this volcano ceased.
but at that moment another extinct
volcano, yearly hundred miles away,
rear Myvatu, sent its burning mass
uDon the peaceful habitations around.
This eruption lasted for several weeks,
the village OF MyVatu became a prey
to the fiery elements, and the whole
country for more than fifty miles
around vas devastated. More than
eight huodrel of the people are re-
ported as having been rendered home

be general upheaval Of the earth in
