suaa.u Deo,b or Dr. a. n. Tree.

DIR. Charles N. Tree died very suddenly
at three o'clock yesterday afternoon at the resi-
dence of his father, Lambert Tree, SD Twelfth
street. He has been for several years past q suf-
ferer from rheumatic gout but has been able to
attend to business. Ofa bright, genial nature and
a brilliant intellect, he only lacked the physical
strength to have reached eminencc in his profess
sion. But death came to him In his thirty. sixth
year and he was cut Off in the first bloom of his
manhood. His venerable father, now in
his eighty second year. was very much
prostracd by the sudden afIliction.
Dr.. Tree had not been confined to his
bed except for a short time, and yesterday after
noon while he was converting with his sister he
suddenly gaspCd for breath, and almost before she
could reach him he was dead. He was n gradu-
ate of Georgetown University, and the writer, who
was classmate with him, can bear testimony
to his popularity while student on account of his
many manly qualities. Generous warm hearted,
full of life, with keen sense of humor, and yet
tender as woman in the quickness of his sympa-
thies, he was greatly beloved by large circle of
sincere friends

METROPOLITAN CHURCH,
Eloquent sermon by Rev. william n.
MIIburu, tIte Mind Preacher.

The celebrated blind preacher, Rev.
William II. Mllburn, d. d. occupied the pulpit OF
the Metropolitan Church last evening. He was
led on the platform and guided to a chair near the
desk, and this was the only indication Of his mis-
fortune. In personal appearance he is quite srik-
ing short, sturdy figure, surmounted by q
massive head a strongly marked face, with the
long black hair pushed back from the forehead and
falling upon his shoulders. His full beard Is only
slightly tingcd with gray. After an anthem from
the choir, he arose, and leaning on the closed
Bible with his face turned full TO the audience, he
gave out the page and number Of the hymn "oh,
Fors q Thousand Tongues" and recited four
verses. He then rccited the fifty.third chapter
of Isaiah, and portion of the the second chapter
of Revelations. His recitation were more effect
i've than the Scriptural reading usually heard in
the pulpit, and his deep, sonorous voice was
used with fine effect After prayer
and reciting another hymn he announced as his
text Hebrews, fourth chapter and sixteenth verse,
Let us therefore, come boldly to the Throne Of
Grace that we may obtain mercy and find relief In
the time ofnced." The sermon was an eloquent
effort. He gave q graphic description ofthe Temple
OF solomon, and his gestures and tones of voice
aided the picturesqucness of his language. He
held the attention of the audience throughout.
Dr. Milburn Is connected with the Central Illinois
Conference, and has been an extensive traveller.
IL Is q notable fact in his history that at the
age of twenty-five he was elected to the chaplaincy
OF the House of Representatives,
