The first name on the roll now is that
of Charles II. Adams, of New York; in
the next House it will be that of Dudley
Wyatt Aiken, of South Carolina. II.
Casey Young, of Tennessee, remains last
on the roll.
Common names, such as Brown, Jones,
Smith, Robinson, and the like, are very
uncommon on the roll of the House e-elect.
In the present chamber the number of
members with common names was com
mented upon as unusually small-56 of
the 292; in the next, of 293 only 43 are
so distinguished.
The names repeated in the present
Congress when it first met were: Will
Jams, u Harris, 8; and 2 each of Bag
ley, Baker, Brown, Burchard, Caldwell,
Clark, Hamilton, Hewitt, Jones, Ian
ders, Mackey, Phillips, Reilley, Robbins,
Ross, Smith, Townsend, Vance, Walker,
Wallace, Wells, Wilson and Wood. In
the next House the family of Williams
again takes the lead, with six represent
atives-Alpheus s., of Michigan; An
drew, of New York; Charles c., of Wis
consin; James, of Delaware; jeremiah
N, of Alabama, and Richard, of Oregon,
all of whom but the last are now serving.

Mr. Scott Wike, of Illinois, probably

The family names are peculiarly bar
ren of suggestion. OF the American
Presidents only Harrison and Monroe ar
recalled, and the student of English lit
erature and history must content himsel
with the scanty gleanings of Aldrich
Butler, Bright, Collins, Hooker, Mill
and Shelley. BY occupations may d.
distinguished a Baker, Butler, Brew
er, Cutler, Cook, a Dean, Fuller,
Glover, Gardner, a Hunter, Page,
Potter, IA Sayler and Turner, any on
of whom may be Bright, Bland or Goode
and Freeman as we'll. There are Bridges
a House, Hill, a Wood, Covert and
Pound, to say nothing of Cabell 70
the transmission of Sparks across
Strait. The art military is well repre-
sented by a Camp, Fort, a Cannon
should Craven be included under thi
headY Perhaps not, but for the sinew
of war there ere both Money and Price
The animal kingdom is represented by
Conger, Swami and Wren; p0ssibl
Bacon and the Scales to Wait might b
classed in this category; the vegetabl
has Berry; Reed, Rice and Sapp
which may no Frost CONCEAL, and tn
mineral shows Stone and Steele. Lastly
the Benedict seeking Bliss may if tn
Evins be propitious find his Edin--speak
ing of Eden there is Cain, to complet
the analogy-and the articles of dres
are about as scanty as they were in tn
original place of that name.-N ]
