INCBEASE OF REPRESENTATION; Th^geeoud session of the Forty fourth CoHgi^HS commenced to-day. The First Congress' was comp©sed of sixty-five members, "representing the thirteen original States. In the Second Congress three States, Vermont, Kentucky, and Tennessee, weifc added to the number of representatives from the original ter­ ritory, and the membership increased to '107. There were no ch nges in the number oj States or membership until the. Seventh Congress, when Ohio and v ^Louisiana entered the Union, and the jiumber was increased to 142. In 1816 the number of Representatives had be­ come 183--the ratio of representation remaining the same as it had been from beginning, one Representative to %3S0OO people. At this time the basis of ^presentation was increased to 35,000, bad Indiana was admitted. From that jtiate, nf it Slates ware admitted at almost ^very Congress. The Twenty-third Congress increased 243 members. The increase of popu- ,tion in the States was so great, and e number of the States themselves was so spf edilv increasing, that Congress then threatened to be the unwieldy body which it already has become, and the basis of representation was changed in V1836 to 47,000. This change prevented ,y considerable increase in the repre- "" ity-sixth Con gitess. In 1845 the basis of represents tioa was a^u^faanged to 70,680, and lender tins bt^KFlorida, Texas, Iowa, ^d California^were admitted to the Union, h 1866 again the ratio of rep­ resentation was increwed to 93,420, and the membership was kept at 246 un*il Thirty seventh Congress. In this Congress the wax^pf secession began, and there vrase but!181 members left in Congrtss. >«lt SFBAKKBSHIP.

ENmng the early period of the history of the new Congress the Episcopalian Church controlled the Chaplaincy of the Senate for eighteen Congresses. Since that time the office has been given to the Presbyterian, Baptists, Methodists and Congregatioualisis. Tliere was at one time a Roman Catholic Chaplain of the Senate, la the House, on the contrary, the Episcopalians have had but two Chaplains.

She KM« ot S«o. EKOIMNIO, the Man Who Sentenced Maximilian to D«»th. A eorious fact in connection with the Mexican troubles is that Gen. Escobedo, the Minister of War, shot by the adher­ ents of Gen. Diaz, is the officer who de­ feated Maximilian at Queretaro in 1867, captured him, court-martialed him, and sentenced him to death. Maximilian was shot with as little decency as was displayed in the execution of Escobedo. In seeking a reason for the summary ex­ ecution of Gen. Escobedo, it is well to remember that he was one of the most accomplished soldiers of Mexico, and this carries with it the idea of skill in diplomacy and intrigue. Less than two years ago he was accused of an intrigue with Cortina, the bandit ohief. Corre­ spondents friendly to the rebels asserted that he visited Cortina just previous to taking Ms seat in the Cabinet, Cortina was afterwards taken to the capital as a prisoner, but in due time he returned to the Rio Grande districts. There were evidently complications with the rebels that led President I* rdo to call Escobe­ do to his Cabinet, and, in aooepting the place and identifying himself with the Lerdo party,, Escobedo possibly broke pledges, or failed to meet the demands of the Diss party. His captors held him as a traitor to their cause, probably, and on this ground will seek to justify his execution. President Lerdo will receive different treatment, however. Previous to the death of Juarez the Diaz party were friendly to Lerdo, then Chief Jus- €ee, and when Lerdo succeeded to the Presidency the rebels made a great pa­ rade of meeting the supporters of the Ju­ arez Government on common ground in support Of the new President. We were told then that, Juarez being out of the way, Lerdo would have little difficulty in uniting the two factions. All was fair for a time, until Lerdo proceeded to carry out the Juarez, or independent, polioy. Then the old conservatives, or the old " State and Church " party, ral­ lied under Diaz. This Gen. Diaz represents one of the oldest and proudest fam­ ilies in Mexico. It is a mistake to describe him as a " pure In­ dian." He represents rather the old Spanish blood and sentiment, and the family name runs back with con­ servative and church associations cling­ ing to it for a century. He was the leader of the opposition to Juarez. _ Ju­ arez represented the native Mexican spirit and principles, while Diaz repre­ sented the aristocrats and old monarch­ ists. The fight is now between Diaz and Iglesias. A Dog That Had Never Seen a Woman. A" half mile farther on we oame upon the camp of the men who were building the road. " Camp " is an elastic word. In this case it meant merely a small pine grove, two big tires and some piles of blankets. Here the road ceased. As we halted, three doge eame bounding tow­ ard us, 'barking most furiously. One of them stopped suddenly, gave one searching look at me, put her tafll be­ tween her legs and with a pitiful yelp of terror turned and fled. I walked slowly after her ; she would look back over her shoulder, turn, make one or two Jungea at me, barking shrilly, then with the same yelp of terror run swiftly away; at last she grew brave enough to keep her face toward me, but continually backed away, alternating her bark of defiance with her yelp of terror in a way which was irresistibly ludicrous. We were utterly perplexed by her behavior until her mastof.as soon as be could speak for laughing, explained it. " Yer see, that 'ere dog's never seen a woman afore! She was reared in the woods, an' I hain't never took her no- wheres, an' that's jest the fact on't; she dunno what to make of a woman." It grew droller and droller. The other dogs were our good friends at ouce, leaped about us, snuffed us, and licked our hands as we spoke to them. Poor Bowser hung back and barked furiously with warning and menace whenever I patted one <3 the other dogs, but if 1 took a step nearer, her she howled and fled in the most abject way,--Atlantic Monthly. ; " WHETHER for use on man or beast, Merchant's Gargling Oil will be found an invaluable liniment, and worthy of use by "every resident in the land.

It is therefore no matter of surprise to find that the human nervous system Is no exception to the law. The higher salubrity of rural over urban life is not entirely a matter of fresh air and exercise. Rural life involves leisure and nflnqo in a<w urara acaariti«l to the maintenance of the nervous system* is a state of due nutrition. Un­ remitting fepasm soon ceases altogether. The tension of life produces weakness at the very place where strength ie most needed. The damage done to the health of the most valuable part of the community, the best-trained thinkers, and roost useful workers, is incalcula­ ble. Work and -worry, though sot pro­ portional, are closelj oonnestedj, and an excess of the former soon entails an in­ crease in the latter beyond the limits which the nervous system can bear with impinity, especially tinder the condi­ tion* under which the work has to be done. The machinery and organizing the work of a ©ommunity had to be rigid and inflexible, and in th® strain involved in bringing a changing organ­ ism into harmony with a maohine, the former must inevitably suffer. THE CHICAGO LEDGER is said to have spent $50,000 in advertising the past two years, and, by the looks of the newspa­ pers throughout the United States, we should say it would take as much to go round this year. And to cap the climax the proprietors have announced their pa­ per at $1.00 a year. How it is done is a mystery, unless they have more than "a barrel of money" to give away. We be­ lieve, however, it is the the«y of the publishers that all they ask of the reader is to pay for the white paper aad post­ age ; for their labor, when the paper reaches 100,000 or more circulation, their advertising will pay the profit. While they are building up the paper they do not solicit advertising, and hence the readers get a great, paper for $1.00 that is worth $3.00. As the publishers have the money, no doubt they will succeed. Address THK LEDGES, Chicago, 111., in­ closing $1.00 for subscription and 15 cents for postage.--Chicago THtnes.
