From FOSTERS EnoyeIopedla OF ilnsttatonf,
The following Is correct transla-
tion Of an epistle sent by Publius
Lentulus to the Roman Senate:
"There appeared In these days man
of great virtue named Jesus Christ,
who Is yet among us; Of the Gen
tiles accepted for prophet OF truth;
but his disciples call him the Son Of
God. lie raiseth the dead, and
cureth all manner Of disease. A
man Of stature somewhat tall and
comely, with very reverend coun-
tenance, such ~ the beholder must
both love and fear. His hair the
color of a chestnut full ripe, plain to
the ears, whence, downward, 1t Is
more orient, curling and waving
aout his shoulders. In the midst
OF his forehead Is stream or parti-
tion ofhis hair, after the manner Of
the Nazarites; forehead plain and
delicate; his face without spot or
wrinkle, beautiful, with lovely
red; his nose and mouth so forked
as nothing can be represented, his
beard thick, in color like his hair,
not over long; his look innocent and
mature; his eyes gray, quick, and
clear. In reproving, he Is terrible;
in admonishing, courteous and fair
spoken; pleasant in conversation,
mixed with gravity. 1t cannot DO
remembered that any have seen him
laugh, but many have seen him
weep; in proportion OF body most
excellent; his hands and arms de-
lectable to behold; In speaking, very
temperate, modest and wise; Il man
of singular beauty, Surprising thi

held on that day in accordance with
the suggestion of the County Central

do not neglect this matter. We
shall have an enthusiastic and inn

ship will send her two delegates this

Mr. Lemer and mis- Mllenge,

Mr.. Leffier was in Congress once.
Yes, twice, and even thrice was he
chosen to represent his adopted State
ut Washington. He did nothing
there to distinguish himself, as we
are advised by his fellow grumbler
at things that be-Mr. Fitz Henry
Warren. Yet he did not entirely
escape notoriety while thus serving
his country. sAnd this is how it
happened. The late Mr.. Greeley
was member of the Twenty Eight,
Congress, at its last session. While
attending to his duties there, in the
faithful manner so characteristic OF
the great journalist, he was led to
investigate the mileage business.
He published the result of his inves-
LEGATIONS. Among the precious de-
velopments then made we ind some-
thing In reference to our present
nondescript candidate for Governor,
which we reproduce for his benefit,
appreciating beforehand the deligh
with which Mr.. l.. will "rise to ex-
plain"
Mr.. Leffler took his seat in Con-
gress during the winter Of lS46.47,
upon the admission Of Iowa into the
Union. For his mileage Mt that
session he received si,440, being
eighty cents mile, forty cents each
way, the then legal rate) for 1900
miles. For the second session OF the,
Thirtieth Congress-, and the first of
the Thirty-first, he received 81 AGA
each-the distance having been
stretched thirty miles since he first
took his seat. Now the distance ut
that time from Burlington to WASH
ington City by the shortest post route
was ST. miles, rs shawn by the olllc-
ial records in the topographer's
bureau of the General postoffi ce.
According to Gray's Atlas, it il
| ,049 miles, counting Burlington to
be "a miles further from Chicago
than Davenport. Mr.. Letter receiv-
eel pay, rs we have seen, for much
more. Let us look ut It.. Computed
by the distances given In Gray's
Atlas, Mr.. Lefiler was entitled to
receive, for each Of the five sessions
he sat Ia Congress-; Ss39.20 by way OF
mileage, or 81, 1876 in all. He actu-
ally got 81, 40 for one session, and
81 ,i8l for each OF two Others, or 81
36S for the three. or the other two
sessions we have no report, but he
doubtless received the same amount
say 81 ,ii0 for one session and 81 ,i6i--
for the other--nlakiug grand
aggregate of S7,272, when he
was entitled to only 81, lW
a trifiing difference Of s3,O76; almost
as much ~ any one Of those "thiriy-
five crops Of corn" brought him. Is
Gen. Warren right In saying Mr.. l..
amounted to nothing in Congress?--
