danger of the Fiftieth congress starving, for
there are % bs found In Il Oats and Rice and
Bacon, not 20 mention n big Cobb in the
house, q well developed Berry in the senate,
and though there is 20 far but one Hogg
among tho 401 statesmen chosen, the prospect
OF several others turning up later on is prom
hiug. To satisfy the bibulous there u, arm
sorry TO note, but one Glass and a little P'rl;
swcctness and the proper spirits e.e s2rss-
emily wanting, though Gins and Peel could
possibly furnish both. IL not, there is But

a i.ced, by no means slender or weak; Illinois
. Post aud Cannon. the latter having made
sad havoc among the enemy in former con-
grcsses, when touched Oft; Maryland Rush,
and Missouri and Kentucky Stone each,
both of them very unsatisfactory specimens
indeed Texas furnishes man with the san
culinary and suggestive name Of Kilgore, but
as n token OF peace accompanies him with an
Abbott and'a Hare One member at least In
each house Of the national legislature when
It next meets win be Plumb, though the horse
goes the senate one better, ms It were, and

gress: this time II can boast Of two names

ous baptisInal names abound; for instance
Jchu, Hilary, Adoniram, Knute, Cherubusco
Beriah and Welty Beside such picturesqu,
names the Johns and Williams, Georges nnt
Thomases shrink into utter insignifcance
though they hold their own In point OF mum
bers @by a large majority. -Washingtoz
