There is shortly to be another issue
of | 1,400, 900 of the new Columbian
half dollars, making in all 2, 300, 600
which will have been issued. The
demand for these coins is very large.
The greater number are probably held
as souvenirs, and are thus kept out
of circulation. Inquiries as to their
being legal tender for the face value
have been received at the Treasury,
popular misconception seemingly
prevailing that they are intended only
as souvenirs.

A Washington correspondent has
taken the following notes regarding
Congress:
Nearly per cent. of the members
of the present Senate and House of
Representatives were born in foreign
lands. This proportion comprises
four in the upper branch of Congress
and twenty-five who 'squabble in the
chamber of the House. OF these,
Ireland claims nine as her sons,
Canada seven, England five, Germany
three, Norway two, Scotland, Greece,
and Sweden one each. At least seven
of these foreign-born lawmakers
were on. the Union side during "the
late unpleasantness, two espoused
the Confederate cause, and one took
part in the Mexican war. Eight of
them profess to know the rudiments
of farming, six of law, five of the
printing business, three have been
pedagogues at one time or another, q
like number on occasions have been
interested in mercantile and real
estate business, two confess to being
manufacturers, and one has welded
the editorial pen. They have beer
allied at times with other interests as
boot and shoe salesman, city clerk
sailor, president of car company
superintendent of streets, miller
lumberman, skilled mechanic, miner
stenographic court reporter, ant
more than one appends an "M. d.

Thirteen of the number receives
their education in the commol
