MEN YOU HEAR OF.

Pr fessor A. W. Phillips, of Yale, de-
votes his entire life to mathematics.
Signor Salyini still maintains his PROV
ess as a player at pallone, a game re-
sembling rackets.
Cardinal Newman's birthday presents
included translation Of the limitation
of Christ" into ancient Irish, and a valu-
able Irish manuscript.
George W. Childs, the rich Philadel-
phia editor and philanthropist, began his
business career by sweeping out stores in
Baltimore. He went to Philadelphia un-
known and penniless, and finally worked
his way into bookstore.
Sir John E. Millais is said to have lost
a clear vision of near objects, though ne
sees those at distance distinctly enough.
AS a result he is compelled to use very
long handled brushes, which greatly in
terfere with delicate work in portraiture.
lola and Daudet used to dine together
and call it the Dinner of the Disap-
pointed" Now they have no occasion
for such pessimistic meal. Daudet's
stories have sold by the hundred thou
sand, while Zolas have passed beyond a
million. Realism has succeeded.
Herr Bebel, the German Socialist, is a
genuine workingman. He started as an
ivory turner, and, even now, when some
thing displeases him in the establishment
Of Foeslieb 6 Bebel, at Leipsig, of which
he is partner, he tucks up his sleeves
and shows the ignorant OF obstinate
workman chow it should be DONE"
Gen. Won Caprivi is described as a just
man, thoughtful and almost tender to-
ward subaltern officers in their straits.
Simple and unassuming, as men of merit
mostly are, he soon found himself be-
loved by the navy, although never con-
cealing his preference for the army in
general, and the Guards in particular;
aad popular in parliament, although dis
daMing the use Of even the slightest or
nament in his speech.

y representative of the TINES yes
terday had a talk with Rev. J. j.
Rumburg, who is to have charge of
the Roanoke Seminary of the Mct!io-
dist Episcopal church OF this city. a
lot of seven acres was bought for the
purpose Of establishing this iustitu-
ton in 1881, for 800, Roanoke, at
that tiluc was quite small in COMPARE
son with its pre'cnt proportion, and
the price then paid was considered Il
fancy one, but today the property
could not be bought for less than
$4,000. Tie property is one OF the
most beautifully located in the city.
1t is situated 1T the corner of John
and Park streets, S. W., and while
possessing all the advantages OF being
we'll drained and elevated, affords a
magnificent view of the city and sur
rounding country, and the hill upon
which the main building will be
placed, is Il favorite resort for those
who enjoy fine view.
The school will be something of Il
novelty here, and while it will no
doubt prove 10 be = great success, il is
an experiment., as Dir. Rumbug re
marked. The co-education is quite
common at the North.
y meeting of the trustees will be
held in Lee Street Methodist Church,
on Tuesday next, at which time de-
ciSive steps Will be taken as TO the
erection Of suitable buildings. Plans
and specifications will be drawn up

buildings and improvements contem
plated will cost about so, 600. y new
Methodist Church will be erected on
