THE CHAPLAIN OF THE HOUSE.

A Blind Mans Accomplishments and
MISUNDERSTANDING Of Faces!
Now and then one notices in the current
gossip Of the newspapers illusions TO Rev.
Henry W. Milburn, who is now, for the third
time, acting as the chaplain of the house of
representatives at Washington. He was an
historian, a biographer, an encyclopedias, z
physiognomist, preacher, gossip, a bon
vivant, a finished gentleman No portion of
the world seemed impervious to his mental
vision Sightless, he saw more than hundreds
of other men combined, who have studied life
with open eyes, and with no faculty impaired
in any direction.
At one time the writer was engaged in pre-
pairing series of sketches of notable people in
London, and which were all to be taken from
real life, from personal study of the various
subjects. Now and then the name of this or
that person who was being made the subject
of protraiture was brought up, and in each
instance the blind preacher seemed to have
perfected conclusion as to the character OF
the sketch. He was able TO critically exam
inc the work and to pass ON it in all its mi
nutest details. This related not only to the
mental, moral, and social qualities of the sub
juct, but also to the matter of personal APP
pearance.
There was something astonishing in this
ability 10 describe the faces of men. he
would do it with all the accuracy of photo
graph. Again and again has the writer re-
ceived of him minute descriptions of the APP
pearance of noted men, their height the color
and expression of their eyes, the peculiariti.=
Of their features, their tone of voice in ore
tory and conversation, and in every instance
were they to the very life. He wonld exhibit
the same quality in respect Of places. Every
where he had been in England, or on the con
tinent, or in America, he had seen the corG-
try, the streets, and churches and would de
scribe them with fidelity.
He was the guest of many of the not,
families of the United Kingdom, and he ne

and reproduced them with entire exactr.-S
He was an extensive Traveller, and althoa,i.
sometimes accompanied by an attendant, h,
as often Travelled alone, going from one END
of the kingdom to the other, making tit
changes of railway stations, occupying i,.e
smoking compartments, and finding his way
from station to hall, church, private resi-
dence, or whatever might be his destination
with apparently as much ease and certainty
as if he had been supplied with vision, and
was lifelong resident of the neighborhooj.
Not the least astonishing of his capabilities
was the remembering of faces-as he face
tiously termed his marvellous ability to recog
nize one whom he had once met, no matter
how long a period elapsed between the meet

the northern orange belt. The coun-
ty will send man to Chicago to tell
the "Suckers" about the citrus fruit
that grows on the snow peaks of Mount
Shasta. He is said to be gathering fresh
oranges for the exhibit. The ques-
ton is whose orchard in Los Angeles
this fruit grew in. Where is Oregon?
Where is Alaska? Surely the SHOWS
of Mount Hood, or Of Mount st. Elias
are no colder than those OF Shasta.
Why do not oranges grow on their
peaks?

PRoFEssoR Walkers suggestions

PRoFEssoR WALKERS suggestions
about the Leland Stanford, Jr.,
university will receive the hearty en-
d dorsement OF all intelligently
experienced educators. The cottage
system proposed for the buildings is
a most admirable feature. Three or
four story college buildings can not
be defended on any other than
economical grounds. In this case,
happily, that question need not
arise. Senator Stanford has money
almost without limit, and it is under
stood that lie proposes to spend it
without stint III this great monument.
In high buildings, all the light foul
air from below rises into the rooms
above. All the heavier gases gener-
ated in the upper rooms sink to poi
son the atmosphere on the floors be-
low. Then there is sall the danger
arising from fires, and the impossi-
bility Of perfectly guarding against
the cutting off of some portion OF the
buildings in confagration. At MIR.
Standford's place, on the banks Of
the San Franciscito Creek, in San
Mateo county, there is ample ground.
They are most charmingly situated,
and with these cottages interspersed
through the groves Of trees Of natur-
