RETIRING CONGRESSMEN.
The Callings They Will F'o low in
Private Life,
II They Had Pnraded In Squads They
Would Have Presented u Most
GOodly SiEht-FnreweIls
to Washington.
copyright, 1871


Washington is only beginning to re-
cover from the effects of new presi-
dents Inauguration. The shouts of the
victors still linger in the air, and the
capital city is busily preparing to well
come the new congress, soon to assem-
ble at the call for u special session.
Naturally, little thought is given at
such time to retiring congressman.
And yet if the senators and repre-
sentatives who have but just said good
by--it may he for years and it may be
forevec-to the halls of national legis-
iation had taken their leave in a formal
parade, the sight would have been u
goodly one to see.
Naturally in such parade, men Of
The same occupation in life would like
ly group themselves together, and, as
might be expected in any considerable
number of retiring Legislators, the law
yers would be most numerous. Indeed
they would number more than all the
other squads, since nearly four score of
the retiring congressman are of the
legal profession. Both by reason of
their numbers and the fact that accord
ing to general precedent the lawyers in
congress are better known than their
fellows, this squad would lead the imag-
mary parade. 1t would be quite nat

ural for Hon. David Il. Hill TO be in
the front rank, along with Ben Fair
ctlild, OF New \ Aorll, and Calvin $. Brice,
of Ohio and New York. while they
would be closely followed by John H.
Cowan, of Baltimore, Wilkinson Call, of
Florida, James J.. Pugh, of Alabama,
and eX-Judge Daniels. Of Buffalo, who
began life as a shoemaker's apprentice,
and these by more than three score
lesser lights.
The next largest squad in this pa
raue which WAS not held would have
been made sip Of farmers, OF whom
there would have been ~, though il

The next squad, half score strong,

A SEA ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
Extraordinary superstition Once
Prevalent in England.

Copyright. 1871
The curious superstition that there is
an ocean above the clouds is illustrated
by the following strange story, by an
old English writer: "One Sunday the
people of a certain village were coming
out of church on thick, cloudy day,
when they saw the anchor of Il ship
hooked to one of the tombstones-the
cable, which was tightly stretched,
hanging down from the air. The pco-
pie were astoniched; and while they
We're consulting about it, suddenly they
saw the rope move as though some one
labored to pull up the anchor. The an
chor, however, still held fast by the
stone, and a great noise was heard in
the air, like the shouting of. sailors.
Presently a sailor was seen sliding down
the cable for the purpose of unfiXing
the anchor. When he had just unloos-
ened it'the villagers seized hold of him,

Franklin Draper, inventor, of Hope.

Concerning every one of these retir
ing congressman, no doubt many Il
good story might be told, but here is
not the place TO tell them. 1t may not
be amiss, however, to recall the fact
that it was Mr.. Miner who once added
to his name on hotel register the
words "and valet" whereat wag
promptly registered his own name un-
derneath, and added thereto land va
