Mary Clemmer Anes In Inder endent
Hero is Blaine with whose face the country
is familiar n powerful face, in which Graf!
and kinan.ss, force and petulsnce, passion
and will are strongly comming!ed. His tenn.
permanent is one of great vitality; one OF
nerve rather than of muscle, Of fluent cleo
tricity rather than Of iron. This tempera
ment makes him man of moods, of
impressions, of passionate 20 yer, quick to
kindle the emotions rather than the iu6gn
of his fellow. His head is both symmetrical
and strong his brow is Intellectual, his ears
are large, Ms the ears of powerful men
needs be in addition, Blaine's are well
shaped. His nose is sensual; his mouth is
petulsnt like tiful boys; bis eyes are
dark bold, keen and fac; bis hair is prems-
turely gray. A man OF oak-lse form, he
bears on bis crest the marks of the storms
that have swept over him. Barely fifty, at
first glance no looks over sixty but another
will show you that the fire of you still
flashes from mis- eyes, v;brates il his voice
AMI flames lr, m his will.
WINDOW.
Willism Window secretary of the
treasury, some three years older than Blaine,
looks many years younger. You seem to see
ia his make his long line of Qusker ancestry,
placid women, in close caps, who loved the
Lord and served him, and deyou. men. whose
countenances shed a benign commnpljpp
of shrewdness and unworldiness. Nothing
else seems 10 explain the atmosphere which
surrounds Mr.. Window, compounded a,
once of worldly wisd m and unworldy
grace A man eminently successful il
ali tho undertakings of his life, he vet
has cot the face or bearing of mere man
of tho world. OF powerful frame and
full habit, his countepsnce is most remark
able for the cearness and purity of its OK.
preston. Ills chin is shsven, but he wears
moderate side whiskers. His hair is dark,
waving and luxurisnt, is brushed back from
brow aud ears. His forehead is high, FOUND
and full. His nose is not small, but deli
cately cut. His mouth is firm with an ex.
preston of latent kindness lurking 10 its
corners. His eyes, of dark blue are clear,
thoughtful, and ever benign in expression.
His compl xon is fair and slightly rudy.
An atmosphere of real benignity, as we'll as
of great intelligence and of perfect health
surrounds him.
JAMES.
Thomas l.. James comes of th. upadul-
tersted Welsh stock that settled so largely
central New York; tire same that sent forth
that true man and accomplished gentleman,
Ellis IL. Robsrts, of Utica. The same sends
forth the new postmaster genera, as it has
sent forth before Roscoe Conkiing and other
we'll known persons, Like the president, his
postmaster,general is shining proof of wha.
an American boy of muscle, will and brain
can make of himself. Ia tho long, patient
endeavor, and in every result of success and
honor he is "self,msde." He came TO
tho poss>office of New York unknown,
and, where 80 many who stepped
from higher place fell, he yielding to no
temptation, went on working, till he made
the New York postoffice service one of the
best of the world, and his reward came when
he was called higher. To the place where no
now stands no worked hs WAY up from
printers Office in Utica, New York. He has
an executive : face. Studying it, one sees
how ne did ii al. Fifty years old, no looks
at least ten years younger. Every feature is
full, foe, clear cut, with nothing to spsre.
His eyes are full of insight His n6se is bold,
but not aggressive. His mustsche is assorlive,
his chin clean, his jaw the one that rules aud
executes.
HARDWOOD.
Samuel j. Kirkwood. secretary of the
interior, has one of the most beniguant of
faces. Nothing could be truer or kinder
than the expression of his eyes or more SO
rene without weakness than the expression
of his mouth. One locks, and takes hear,
for the future of the Apaches, the Poncss
and all outcast Indian tribes.
LINCOLN.
Robert T. Lincoln, in growing older, has
grown in expression more like his iilustrious
father There is lock in his eyes very like
tho immortal sadness that looked forth from
the eyes of Abrshsm Lincoln, and there is
the same expression about the nostrils Of the
nose. o.day he is CLEARED like a pard,"
with military mustache and beard that
seems at war somehow with the gentle eve.
beams above. He has most interesting
face. that is the true expoDen! of what no
i'-modest gentle thoughtful, patient aud
true. That he is..lhe right..msn in the right
place Is in one way shown by the hosts of
colorad people pressing in upon bin in his
new Office, Just to shake the hand of III DIR
Father Abraham" AS all Washington
negroes call President Lincoln.

snWilism 4. Hunt, secretary Of the navy,
though m older man in personality, bears q
certain reiemblancoto Secretary Blaine. Hc
has the same strong features bu. a more serene
presence. A native Of South Carolina, when
u boy he went to Louisiana, and through the
entire war he was what /. costs any south
ern man SO much to be) a stanch Union
man. He is one Of the mos. eloquent
speakers of the south, and in manners mos.
gentle gentleman. -. -. -
- .,MACvEAGu. -
!tWayne -MacVeagb, born in 1885, looks
even younger He comes of vigorous Scotch
stock, and was graduated from Yale college
at tho aga oftwenty. Wayne MscVeagh is a
gentleman of elegant bearing and address.
Even the parting of his hair in the middle
cannot invade tho intellectually Of his head
and countenance. Hiseyes are set wide apart.
