By far the greater majority of Sena tors and Representatives in this Con gress are college men. although Messrs, EdmundsjBayard, Pendleton, Wilson of Iowa, in the' Senate, and Carlisle, Curtin, Kelley, Randall, and Reagan, in the House, never went to college. . The University of Virginia, it appears, has graduated more men in this Congress than any other insti tution of learning. It was tiie Har vard of the South before the war, and its graduates are nearly all to be found on the Democratic side of the House. Harvard comes next to it in point of numbers. It has fourteen graduates, one in the Senate Mr. Hoar and thirteen in the House, namely, Messrs. Collins, Davis, Long, .Lyman and Stone of Massachusetts, Adams of Illinois, Covington of Maryland, Hunt of Louisiana, Burns of ' Wisconsin, Weaver . ,of Nebraska, , Tillman of South Carolina, and Dorsheimer and Belmont of New York. ' . - Its rival, Yale, has two Senators, but only four Representatives Messrs Dawes and Gibson; Davis of Missouri, Seymour of Connecticut Beach of New York, and W. W. Phelps of New Jersey. Among the remaining colleges Union has one Senator, Mr. Miller of New York, arid . five Representatives. Princeton also has five graduates to represent it x-. Brown follows with four; Hamilton, Dartmouth, and Williams with three' each; Amherst, the Western the Transylvania University of Ken tucky, Kenyon College, and old Wil liam and Mary College one each. Four men in the present Congress were edu cated at West. Point Senators. Macy of Texas and Camdera of West Virgi nia, and Gens. Rosecrans and Slocum. In the Cabinet Harvard has two repre sentativesSecretaries Lincoln 1 and Chandler. The latter was graduated at the law school Rutgers imparted learning to . the Secretary .of State.

Broth- I (:Not many days ago, when r 'Blount of the 'Mirror," was re piutuiea lur Government at ten and twenty thou sand dollars "apiece could certainly, with plenty of rich society ; friends, make a decent living by painting for the private trade. ; But the supposi tion is this case would be wrong, for neither of these female painters has been able to torn out pictures 'of Buch a character. The painting - of the Electoral Commission, by Mrs. Fassett, would not be worth $10 to picture dealer, and no gentlemen of artistic tastes would permit it to hang in his private collect on' at any price. It is not even a historical painting, a large number of portraits haying been inserted at so much a head, portraits of people who were not in attendance at the great court scene at all. The portrait of the artist herself is perhaps the most prominent on the foreground, al though a number of prominent news paper men, looking very intellectual, indeed, and a half-dozen society wo men, very handsome, indeed, form a bold background. Some of these were not here at all and were insert ed for much money and for their probable influence. All these in fluences are now at work to get this picture off on the Government at the ridiculous sum of $15,000, which is $5,000 less than the original figure. Senator Voorhees, of - the Library Committee, the legitimate champion of all suffering kdiee, has been chos en to push - things in the inside. There is not a single redeeming feat- , -. .... i ..r ; t scheme, beyond the fact that it will put $15,000 into the pocket of a hard-working and very excellent wo man.; There is- another picture lob by for the sale of a fall-length por trait of the - late .Gen.

As a work of arf, however, this Thomas picture is destitute of mer it. The whole figure is stiff and the foreshortening is awful. A signifi cant point in connection with this picture trada is the silence of every body here and a tacit approval of what is going" on. From a Washing ton Letter. ; Never Mind the Grammar. The New York Sun is discussing the grammar of the familiar prayer, "Now I lay me down to sleep." It pronounces it all right. It un doubtedly is; but grammatical or not, it haa gone up to the great judg ment seat freighted with the sweet est .confidence and trust that only infantile humanity can understand. That simple petition will endure as long as iChnstianitypreYai's, and will be tfamiliar to more hearts and lips than probably all other prayers combined.

ThiB is probably the firtt instance on rec ord where a woman has nndei taken a trip of this kind. She rode in the freight caboose anc! took life as she met it. She was accompanied by two larcre doss. She is an intelli gent, refined, thrifty, go-aheadative woman, full of business, and will get to ber new home in Kansas on a ship per's pass, the earn. as any stock- dealer.

The trainmen regard it as somewhat remarkable and " treated the; good woman with evtry courtesy and con sideration.

Blount, with his keen sense of the ridiculous and with that fund of hn tnor for which he is noted, conceived the idea of turning that scene of en dearment into one of ridicule. This he did as follows. Turning to a fel low passenger he said: ' y . 4' "They seem to have it pretty bad. When did they catch itr , i '' His companion replied. "They've bad it ever since they took the traiu in Virginia, and the maladay seems to be increasing." Mr. Bount said, "Let's cure.them, or the infection may spread over the entire train." "How can we do it?" wa the re ply, s ? "E8y enough," responded Mr. Blount "If you will lake a seat im mediately in front of the loving cou ple, I wiJ sit beside you and of all the wooing and cooing you've read about Til show you. We can beat them at their own game." "Wba'P said the traveller, "kiss you?"' . ! t Mr. Blount replied, "Though my mouth is better shaped for swallow ing a potato than tackling a kiss, still I am no slouch in the billing and cooing business." j The passenger replied, "I rather dread it but for the sake of a little fun I will try to bear it with all the fortitude I cin summon, although I've never kissed a man before." 'Neither have I," lesnoBded Mr. ' lesno ome i Boarding House Hetties.' Two youn men stood in the doorway of a cigar store last night on Clark street, Indiana, when a peculiar-looking individual . passed by.

"Aint I your little toopsy-woop-sj?'' responded his iellow-eonspira-tor, as he careened over and rested his' head upon Mr. Blount's shoulder, Mr. Blount's arms gently encircling him, and trying to forget for the time that it was a rough specimen of the genus homo whom he was then embracing, he imprinted kiss after kiss upon the cheek of his new found and novel , sweet heart The affec tionate demonstrations were return ed with equal ardor, to the infinite disgu&t of the newly married pair and to the ' amusement and delight of the passengers, as was attested by roar af;er roar of laughter and ap plause. It is needless to add that the rem edy was successful. ' Daring the remainder of the trip this couple, upon whom had been played this cruel, practical joke, were as circumspect and well-behaved as if they had been married forty years, and looked as if a kiss wculd be as distasteful to them as a dose of as safoetida. ; ' ; tLe way, Brother Blount says, confidential y, that kissing a uiau Is not eo bad after opinio u some of will, perhaps agree. Wd0:i Ad- vanoa. ; . Boston Turns on Sullivan. Isn't in about tine some notice was taken - of Mr. John . L. Sullivan in a different way from that to which he has, been accutttomed? He is get ting to be about as unbearable a thug as there is to be found in the haunts of crime. He has the reputation of spending most of his time, when off "professional'' duty, in gi tting drunk and picking quarrels - with " those around him, slapping the. faces of waiter girls, anef insuhiog the public generally, and still he goes right on making himself a uisance with im punity. ; It is quite possible that Sul livan is the phvsicical superior of any man in Boston, but it ought not to follow that he is superior to law. He has been a demoralizing influence from the beginning of his cateer. He has helped to crystalize and fo calize more crime than almost any other man of his age. aod he seems to have a natural aptitude for crimi nality himself. Are our authorities af laid of him, or what is their excuse for allowing him to roam at large and as he pleases like an irresponsi ble bull or ownerless cur? Boston PosJ. nn Zafhary TaTlnr, -' jnsVd J.m the platform; seized William WoycTTrar- all and in this our youne ladies What Capt. Ryader's Death Be calls. We copy the following from ' the New York Sun of the 15th -' inst. Capt. - Rynders was known all over the Uaited States as the "War-horse of the Democracy" in -New1-York 8tate. A perusal will recall a grada tion of changes, interesting if not surprising: .:.L;:- J;..'V;-v-, ; ..y.-:- The death of Capt Isaiah Rynders recalls the days, so well remembered by- all. those who 'ha?ereached"dr paaofid middle, age, when . any man who ventured to talk in favor of the abolition of slavery was looked upon by the run of people, even at -the North, as a dangerous fanatic and a wicked disturber of the peace of the republic. v In those days Tammany Hall was in the building now owned and . oc cupied by the Sun, and within these walls the Democracy often . met to hear the assaults of Capt. Rynders on the abolitionists and abolitionism. He used to contend that the negro was descended from the monkey, and was only a partially developed man, though Darwinism had not yet made its appearance. He was,, also full of references to the' Bible to prove thai it was a religious . obliga tion to keep the children of Ham ia slavery; for, although not a pious man, he could quote Scripture, as well as. any of the many pro-slavery parsons of that time. In Broadway, not far from the Sun office, the old Tabernacle- was situated, and there the ati-slavery people were accustomed to hold meetings at which the speakers were usually greeted with the- abusive cries and sometimes the unpleasant missiles of their opponents. Yet among those speakers was Wendell Phillips, perhaps the greatest orator this country has ever produced. We described in yesterday's Sun how on one of these occasions Capt. Rynders, exasperated by his attack piattoraif seized vviinam Laoyd rison by the collar, and threatened to throw him off the stage if he re peated his words. Taylor was a Whig and Rynders a Democrat, but all the same the Captain was quick to defend a Southerner accused be cause of slavery. He could not smother his indignation when what was called in those days the "pecul iar institution ' was attacked in his hearing. Yet we must not think hardly of Capt. Rynders for such feeling and conduct. He only represented the average sentiment with regard to the abolitionists which then existed among even, the most reputable peo ple among the clergy, for instance, and among merchants. His treat ment of Mr. Garrison was mild in comparison with that which the great abolitionist leader suffered at the hands of the solid men of Boston in October, 1835, when a mob compos ed of "gentlemen of property and standing" partly stripped him and proposed to bang bim on Boston Common. Garrison only escaped the lynching by the interference of the authorities, who lodged him in jail for safely. We must remember, too, that even William M. Evarts, who now wants to be Senator because he has always voted the Republican ticket, public ly defended the Fugitive Slave law In New York, not so many yesis ago. He was then as much opposed to the abolitionists as Capt Isaiah Ryn ders ever was, and though he might not have collared Garrison, for he is not a hot-blooded man, he would have taken pains not to be - seen in his company, and would have snub- ed him as a pestilential outcast. Oh; yes: great change s havo taken place since those days. Cant, ilynders's Prediction, Q.t the 30th of last Miy the late Capt Bynders was met by Major A. W. Orr .in Madison - Square! Park. The Captain' was leaning against a tree, and a sardonic smile played across his rugged features as he gaz ed at President Arthur, who stood in a flag canopied stand opposite le- vie wing the military pageant , "One year from to-day, confident ly remarked 'he old war horse, "you will see a ' Democratic Preiident standing over there where Aithur is now." "You stem very positive, Cap tain," the repor er suggestively marked. . "I know it I feel it in my bones. The time for a change is at hand. The people wilt have it It will be either Cleveland or Flower but it looks as if the chances favored Clev eland the most now. I hope to live to see that day, and to be spared to look at a Democratic President In that stand over there a year from now. Sun. . " - - An Awful Experience. j ; "Talkin about awful expar'enee remarked the tramp, "bet ton never heerd tell on a worser time than me an Bent-Nose Jack had last winter.

It was the organ of John Kelly and that great Democratic chief hoped to win an honest penny from publishing it. But he enjoyed the pleasures of hope while the prin ters and the paper men enjoyed the $750,000 stated to have been lost in the enterprise. From day to day from month to month, from year to year, ithey hoped for better success but those hopes were denied fruition Recently John Kelly hoped he had sold the paper hoped he had got ten free from the draiu it was mak ing upon the pockets of its owner?. But the hope faded way and the ex pected purchaser departed with his shining shekles. And now the Star that once was worth its hundreds oi thousands twinkles only on Sunday mornings. - I still remains, however, as a memory of departed hopes a sort of a faded flower. pERSONAL PROPERTY FOB 8A1 K.
