far from 55; that of Representatives
not far from 45.
Jn the Senate there are five gen
tlemen below the age of 40. In the
Ilousethere arc five members under
30.
The youhgest Senator is General
Spencer, of Alabama, born Nov. 1,
1836, and consequently 33 years old.
The youngest Representative is Hon.
Clinton L. Cobb, of North Carolina,
born Aug, 25,1842, and consequently
but little over 27.
The oldest Senator is Hon. Simeon
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, born
March 8, 1799. lie is also the old
est in Congressional seniority, hav
ing taken his seat in the Senate in
1845. He has, however, had two
long interruptions in his Senatorial
carreer, so that his whole service
amounts to eleven years. He is the
only member of either House who
was born before the commencment
of the present century.
The oldest member of the present
House of Representatives in Con
gressional seniority is Hon. Fernando
Wood, who took his seat in 1841, in
the Twenty-seventh Congress- Ilis
age is 57.
Mr. Garrett Davis, Senator from
Kentucky, was earlier in the House
than any present member of that
body, having in 1839 'taken nis seat
in the Twenty-sixth Congress. Ha
is the only member of either House
who sat in Congress more than thirty
years since. Mr. Davis, however,
belongs to the bresent century, hay
been born in 1801, two months earl
ier than Senator Vickers, of Mary
land- In point oflong continued ser
vice, Mr. Sumner is the “Father of
the Senate,” having served for ale*
most nineteen years without interrupt
ion. lie has five years more to serve
on his present term.
Hon. Robert C. Schenck, of Ohio,
is the “Father of the House.” He
entered it in 1843, and (having been
out from 1851 to 1863) is now serv'
iug his eighth term.
Hon. Henry L. Dawes, of Massa
chusetts, is serving his seventh con
tinuous term.
General Banks and Hon. Horace
Maynard are in their sixth term, not
continuous.
Hons. James Brooks and S. S. Cox
of New York, and Hon. Nathan F.
Dixon, of Rhode Island, are each in
their fifth term.
Mr. Brooks was the pioneer Wash
ington correspondent, and also the
first of European correspondents for
American papers.
The youngest Senators aro Mesrs.

yoars, and Hon. C. L. Cobb, of North
Carolina, 27 years. Mesrs. Hamil
ton and Roots were members of the
last Congress.
The average length of the congress
ional biographies is ten lines. The
longest is that of Hon. William F.
Prosser, of Tenuessee, who occupies
twenty-six lines, but they are so
crammed with incidents that they
could not well be appreviated.
The hardest worked Senator in
committee service is Hon James W.
Patterson, of New Hampshire, who
is chairman of the joint committee
on retrenchment, and is a member of
three others.
The blondes of the Senate have it
all their own way in the committee
on the judiciary.
In the House, the most fortunate
men on committee are Hon. John
Lynch, of Maine, who is chairman of
two committees and stands second on
that of banking and curency, and
Hon. Thos. A. Jenckes, of Rhode
Island, who is chairman of the com
mittee on patents and runs those of
retrenchment and civil service.
A WORD TO BOY§.
Make yourselvos indispensable to
your employers; that is the golden
path to success. Be so industrious,
so prompt, so careful that if you are
absent one honr of the usual time you
will be missed, and he in whose ser
vice you are shall say, “I did not
dream W was so useful.”—
Make your employer your friend,
performing with minuteness what
ever task he sets before you, and,
above all, be not too nice to lend a
hand, however repugnant to your
sense of n'eataess it may be. The
success of your buisness in after life
depends on how you deport yourself
now ; if you are really good for any
thing, you are for a great deal. Be
energetic, as well as act with alacrity.
Appear to feel an interest, make your
master's success your own, if you
have an honest one; Let your eye
light up at his request, and your feet
be nimble. There are some that look
so dull and heavy, and go with so
slow 1 and heavy a pace, that it is irk
some to ask what it is your right to
demand of them. Be not like these.
