wear his hair and whiskers in way which suggested Charles Sumner; and, good while after Summers death, visitors in the senate galleries, who were familiar with his newspaper portraits, would be mystified and even startled by seeing his counterfeit sitting at a desk below and transacting business.
 Professor Young, the principal of local boys school, used to be continually mis- taken for James G. Blaine. Another per- son of the same surname Hamilton Young, the dean of the newspaper tele- graphers' corps, might have sat in the Canadian-American joint commission as an understudy for T. Jefferson Coolidge, of Massachusetts. General Henry V. Boyn- ton. long newspaper correspondent of celebrity, is continually pointed out to strangers, even by professional guides, as General "Joe" Wheeler. Another corre- spondent has had to pass large fraction of his time for the last fifteen years ex- plaining, in response to cordial greetings in the street and elsewhere, that he was not aster-General Hatton, or Judge John Davis, of the court of claims, or As- sistant Secretary Allen, of the navy. In- deed, when he walks through the navy de- partment corridors today, half the door keepers and messengers rise in their places and salute; and even the Cerberus who stands guard at the door of Secretary Longs office addresses him as "Mr. Allen, and begs that he will walk right in."
 Representative Lacey, of Iowa, is con- sidered to look very much like Secretary Alger, although close analytical student of physiognomy could hardly make the mistake This resemblance gave rise to one of the good things attributed to Speaker Reed. He is said to have met MT. Lacey suddenly coming around cor ner and to have appeared somewhat con- fused when addressed by him. Lacey, he is quoted as saying, you startled me you look so much like the secretary Of war All you need to make you his twin Is coat of whitewash."
 In newspaper circles here they tell funny story about Major Carson, the vet eran correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger He is said to have come down late to his office one morning during the lifetime of the late George w. Childs, and inuuired of his office boy if any one had called. The boy said: "Yes, sir; MT. Childs has been here"
 What MT. Childs?'
 "Mr George w. Childs," answered the boy. looking up at a portrait of the propri- etor of the Ledger, which filled conspicu- ous place on the office wall.
 'Thats very strange" remarked the ma jor; "Mr. Childs always notifies me when he is coming over. Did he leave any mes sage?"
 'No. sir; he just told me to say he'd been here.' e
 "He didn't say at what hotel he was staying?'
 'No, sir"
 The major made the round of the prn- cipal hotels, but In vain; there was no trace of MT. Child's presence anywhere. When he came back to the office he found his boy in a rather disturbed state of mind. "Mr. Carson" said he presently "I have been thinking that over. Does MT. Childs ever swear?''
 Never" answered the major. "IIe is a strictly religious man. Why do you ask?"
 "When that gentleman called this morn Ing I thought I recognized him from the portrait up there. The first thing he asked me was where you were. told him you hadn't got down yet He asked me what time you did get doyn I told him some times at 10 o'eiaex. sonerr~s ns Y: anG sometimes not until the afternoon Then he sort of surprised me by saying: He gets down any time he d-n pleases sup pose Well. when he comes. tell him My Childs called thought 1t was queer. but
