MIR. Phelps came to Washington from
New Jersey as Il congressman in 1875.
lie was not prepOssessing fellow,
and his la-de-dah manners did not
help him. He wore different colOred
neckties and a variety of clothes that
called his character into question as to
whether he was eccentric or fool.
There was difference of opinion
about this for some time, until Mr..
Phelps arose one day when an impOr-
tant issue was being discussed in the
honse, and made one of the most elo-
quent speeches of the session. The
question was settled. Mr.. Phelps was
denOminated eccentric, and the asser-
ton was made that he was also brainy.
Some even went So far as to call him a
singed cat, and he rose in favor. He
soon took a stand rs one of the republi-
can leaders, and he will again come to
the front us such this season. After
his last session in Congress Mr.. Phelps
travelled in Europe for his health, and
while there he was appointed minister
to Austria by President Hayes. lie
returned from Vienna several years
ago, and since then has been living i'll
his elegant residence in the New Jer-
sey suburbs of New York. Mr.. Phelps
is very wealthy, and am told he is to
be classed with the millionaires of
Congress. He is a native of New York,
and is a graduate of Yale college. He
is very proud of his family, and about
Il year ago, in connection with his
brother, he erected Il monument over
John Phelps, who lies buried in Switz-
erland, having been eXiled there for
assisting in the trial of Charles |. of
England.

been through forty battles untouched,
but at Fredericksburg he fell. A sharp
shooter pierced his lungs with bullet,
and for three days he lay among the
wounded. She saw him in her dreams
lying there, and started to find him.
With permit in her hand she went
herself to the field of battle and
searched among the fallen for her hus-
band. At last she found him, sense
less, and as if dead. She made them
carry him to the hospital, and ordered
the bullet removed. They took it out
under his left shoulder and gave him
up to die. She never left him till he
was out of danger, and as soon as he
could be moved, took him to New York.
He was never well after. A cough set
tied on him, and consumption did what
the bullet could not do. When she
was twenty three she was a widow.

Noted Congressman.
PEN PICTURES OF JUDGE POLAND AND
WILLIAM w. PHELPS.

Judge Luke p. Poland of Vermont
is, perhaps, the most striking of the
new congressman, writes a Washing
ton correspondent to the Cleveland
Leader. He has a slender, we'll built
form of full six feet, and though now
nearly 20 years of age, he stands as
straight as telegraph pole in his old
time uniform of navy blue brOadclOth
and gilt buttons. He has large and
noble head, covered with the finest of
hair, whittier than newly washed wool,
and his brown, benevolent face, OTna-
memted with well combed side whis-
kers of the same hue, gives him the
appearance of the typical grandfather
of the story book, the persOnification
of all that is good, kind and manly. A
noble looking fellow is this Judge Po-
land of Vermont, and he is, to all APP
pearances, not day older than when
lie sat here 10 years ago examining
Schuyler COlfax and others as to their
acquaintance with the Credit MObilier.
Judge Poland has IA high forehead
which hangs out over a pair Of very
bright eyes of dark brown. His nose
is large and straight, and his mouth
grave but pleasing. He has full cheeks
of ruddy brown, and a face free
| from the wrinkles and ravages of time.
He will contend with Judge Kelley as
being the grandfather of the house, and
| he already looks around with father
| ly air upon the younger men on all
sides of him. Judge Poland's career
has been one of long officeholding
At the age of IL, when Jackson began
to serve his second term, he was ad
mitted to the bar in Vermont village
Three years later he obtained a minol
Office about the county court house
and he has kept i'll office pretty much
ever since. For II continuous year:
he was elected judge of the supreme
bench of Vermont, and this he left Z,
take a seat in the United States senat,
to fill the vacancy caused by senator
COllamer's death in 1865. Two year
after he left the senate he was sent tC
the lower house and served there fO
four terms, during the second of which
he was chairman of the Credit Mobilize
investigation, as above stated.

gressmen is William Walter Phelps

A pen and ink wrestler has united Il
book and let it loose upon the patient
people, which book bears the title,
GLOW to make $500 Year from Twelve
Hens" We tried this getting Iich out
of the hen business last year, and while
it looks nice and pretty in gilt letters
on blue binding, to save $500 year
from twelve hens, our eXperiecne was
different. We secured, last spring,
collection of six lady hens and male
companion, and domiciled them i'll an
extensive hen pasture in the rear of
our premises. We figured it all out
that with six eggs a day, and occasional
vacations which would be paid for in
chickens, we would soon have money
enough to go to Europe OF run for
office. Early in the season, the brown
Leghorn troops fought nobly, and we
began to look around with the idea of
getting safe to put our egg money in.
Just at this juncture corn stepped up
to ! bushel, and our hens ceased
laying and turned all their attention
to their appetite.
During the interim (interim is n word
that we found in the office when we
bought it), one of our hens had sue
ceedcd in presenting to the world Il
dozen little brown balls, which imagi-
nation told us would make excellent
chicken pies along in December. I'm
agination lied to us, however, for i'll
less than four weeks every one of the
little brown darlings had been referred
to the interior department of "a con
founded skunk, and there was seven
weeks to be charged up to that hens
profit and loss account. We fOrbear
telling of our midnight ramble in the
dewy mazes of our garden, clad i'll
modesty and nightshirt, with re-
volver filled with b 100 cartridges and
heart filled with animOsity toward
that skunk We draw Il curtain DER
that scene.
When fall came, and after we had
bought eggs to feed ourselves and corn
to feed our hens for while, we retired
from the hen business, and we have
made up our minds that it takes some
thing more than a book and dozen of
hens to make $500 a year. OF course
there are hen artists who can play the
game for all its worth, and make it
pay but for Il greenhOIn to think that
twenty-fOur hens are worth Il cool
thousand year to him, is folly. If
yOu could make hens lay every day,
and bring chickens up on II bottle i'll
some secluded corner where skunks
could not get at them, it would pay for
novices to establish hen dairies. AS it
is, however, we nOvices had better
save our money from buying such
books as the one described, to buy eggs
with, and let those who understand egg
harvesting do the work. There is too
much responsibility; too much getting
up nights to shoot sElunks, and too few
eggs in the business, to offer induce
ments to amateurs.-[M Marathon In
