SOME DISTINGUISHED MEN.
Their Personal Appearance and Their
Modes of Life.

NfOhH oWce-0t- week.
Charles Louis Freycinet, who has
Just become Prime Minister of France
for the fourth time, is a turtive- faced,
insignificant looking little man of en-
thusiastic manner. lie lis &c. He is also
the clever husband of an ambitious
wife. He has perpetrated several works
on mechanics and political economy,
and his intimates call him the white
Mouse"
Professor John Tyndall, the famous
scientist, has sparse, gray beard, but
shaves his upper lip. He is cantan.
kerous controversialist, who does not
care always TO be polite, but lives in a
comfortably contrived house, walled
off from the public gaze by ungaiuly
fences the height of the house, CON
structed by himself of sca1folding poles
covered with wattles and dead heath.
He does not believe in miracles, knows
more about the glaciers of Switzerland
than any half.dozen other men put
together, and is married to q dukes
niece, who is young enough to be his
daughter. He is an Irishman by birth,
and his years are II.
Edmund Clarence Stedman, the poet
banker, wears full beard, has rare
collection of autograph letters, and gives
Sunday evening receptions to which the
elite of the literary world delight to re-
sort. He is a nimble footed, bright-eycd
man of kindly manner, and divides his
time about equally between literature
and banking. He can talk of books and
authors at length without being fatigu-
ing, and brings the double acumen of a
student and man of business to bear
upon his analysis; but the idea never
occurs to him of talking on any subject
on which he is not thoroughly posted
and when he quotes anything, which is
frequently, he does not quote something
else by mistake. His reading imper-
ceptibly leaks out in his conversation,
for he has a great memory, and he is
one of the most accurate men that ever
capped story. He is also 81.
