While he can not now be said to li.ivo largo fortune, ho has undoubtedly recovered much of what ho lost ni.il is on tho lOi'J to his former prosperity. He began life as n, fanner boy under penil.n ly disheartening conditions.

His father, leaving a lino farm in tho Connecticut valley, moved to Illinois and Hie: laid out all that, ho had in line cattlo and lioi ses, being one of the first importers on a laigo si-iilo of short-horn cattlo in the AN est. He had not been in Illinois a year befoi he died and young Sabm, eighteen eai old, had thrust upon him tho responsibilities of settling his fathers estate and suppoi ting his widowed mother and voung brothers and sisters, llo demonstrated his business rapacity bv celling tho Illinois (ami and all tho cattlo and horses for a good deal moro than tliey cost his father, and took the family back to Massachusetts to the old farm which camo back into their possession.

Foi the next four years lie was a farmer, lie has told mo with a good deal of satisfaction how ho used to luml wood into Springheld with his trousers tucked in his boot legs, and stood about the streets from early morning until night waiting for some one to buy his load, stamping his feet and slapping his bauds most of the tunc in order to keep his blood in circulation. Ho enlisted in tho .uniy when twenty-one, and .served until tho close of tho war. In 1SGS he went to Minnesota on nil excursion trip, becaino pleased with the opportunities for business tlicie, settled at Stillwater, and invested hat littlo money lie lia.il in a shop to make threshing machines.

His gift for managing men soon took him into tho political iieid, and it was not long beforo lie had iv contract for the prison labor of the State, out of which bv teaching tho convicts a trado anil employing them under strict and salutary discipline, he not only amassed a fortuno for himself but mado the State prison self-supporting and on industrial school for the criminal classes

that came true. Tnc Minnesota Washburn is tho youngest of tho family, of which Governor Israel Washburn, of Maine, was tho eldest Elihu IS., of Illinois, the second son, anil Governor Cailwallader Washburn, of Wisconsin, tho third. All tho brothers wero born at Liverinore, Androscoggin County, Manic, in a littlo stony lnllsido farm, where existence was possible only by tho closest application to work and the severest economy. The district school and the village academy gave the Washburn sons their education. W. 1). Washburn' was ablo bv teaching and working on a farm to t-ako himself through Bowdoin College, graduating in 1S51 at, the age of twen-ty-three. For two years he read law with his brother Israel and then moved to Minneapolis, where he practiced law until 1M)1, when ho was appointed by President Lincoln Surveyor-General of Minnesota.

Holding this post for four years, he becamo acquainted with tho best, bodies of pine timber t,ho Slate, and by judicious investments laid the foundation of a fortune. Ho has been engaged in manufacturing anil railroad enterprises for twenty years past, always with great success. Ho organized and built tho Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad, now tho Rock Island route to St. Paul, and made a fortuno out of it. During the past few years he has been building the '•Soo" road, a new line from St. Paul across the splendid water powers and imber sections ot Wisconsin and Michigan to the riault Ste. Mane.

He has been identified with nearly every large business interest Minneapolis anil Minnesota, and is ono of her ablest and most eutorpmiug citizons.

Ho sat in Congress two terms—in the Forty se\ enth'and Forty-eighth—and was on tho Coinnnttco on Appropriations. His strong common sense and thorough business ability soon took him to tho front, and ho was recognized as one of tho leading men on the Republican side.

HON. NATHAN GOFF.

A Gentleman Who Is l'romintMit in "West Virginia Politics. The prominence of Nathan Goit, of West Vuginia, just ut this time is his reward for maintaining through a long scries of years an unflinching allegianco to tho minority party lus State. For months ho has had beforo him the prospect of any one of three high and honorablo stations—to bo either Governor of his State, United States Senator or a member of General Harrison Cabinet. Ho was born in West Virginia in 1843 and received his education in Georgetown Collego and the University of the city of New York. Ho

WHS

a student, at

Georgetown when the war began, and at tho ago of eighteen ho enlisted as a private in tho Third Virginia Infantry.

Beforo ho was twenty-two he had risen to tho rank of Major. He was captured in lh(H by General ltosser's cavalry, utter having his horse shot under linn. There was great danger to native Virginians in capture, as they might bo charged with having deserted from the Confederate ranks. In dialect and manner General Goff was thoroughly Virginian. Ho was sent to Ltbbv prison, and it was not long before lie actually fell under suspicion, was placed under the death watch and kept in close coniinement with a numbci of other men as hostages for a number of Confederates who had been tried and condemned in tho Union lines as spies. Major GofT friends learned that ho was held as hostage for a Confederate named Ai msey, also a Major, and they proposed to Picsident Lincoln to make an exchange of the two Majors.

The application hung fire anil finally Major Goff heard of it. There is a letter on tilo now in the War Department which shows his heioism under those trying circumstances. lie wrote If Major Armsey is guilty he snould bo executed regardless of consequences to me. The life or a singlo soldier, no matter who lie might bo, should not stand in the way of adherence to a great

principle.'' The exchange was made some tunc later and Major Goff went to Washington and urged President Lincoln to adopt a more liberal exchange policy so that Union soldiers would suffer less in Southern prisons. It was not long before his advice was followed. Some lime afterwards Major Armse.v was cant.ured by the Union troops, and was put in jail at Clarksburg, Goff native town.

When GofT friends learned of tho fact a mob gathered to hang Armsey, and it was only upon the intercession of Major Goflf that Ins life was spared. Wrnilo he was in Libby prison Goff somehow got hold of lawbooks and began to read. After the war he went to tlio New York University and in time returned to West Virginia to practice law. Andrew Jackson appointed hun district attorney in 1Mb, and he was reappointed four times by Grant,, Hayes and Garlield. In 1~0 he ran for Congress but was beaten.

MR. C. S. GLASSCO.

A Gcntlomiiu Who Sets Typo with Ills Left Hand and Doos It Well, Too. How many readers of tho Inland Printer, asks a writer in that paper, ever saw a lefthanded typesetter 1 By this I mean typesetter who picks up tho type, places them in tho composing stick and spaces out tho lines, all with his "sinister paw." How many aro tlioro who liuvo not had it dcrnon-

strated to them to be ineclianica.iy impossible to set typo with tho left hand, without having a left-handed stick, "anil then the matter would read backward," or from light to lefts I have many times had it so demonstrated to mo by old printers, who had traveled this wide world over." To mo these demonstrations wero conclusive, because I took them without giving the subject any thought, or making any endeavor to test tho thing practically. Every printer knows that distributing with the left hand can bo accomplished easily, simply by turning tho matter "other endup," in tho right hand. That type can bo set and lines spaced out in tho ordinary stick with tho lelt hand was demonstrated to ino first in Sherman, Tex., by witnessing Mr. Dick llopson, of tho Courier office, performing tho feat at a rate of speed equal to, if not above, that of the average compositor. Mr. Ilopson sets typo no other way than with his left hand. He does all kinds of work included in tho work of a book, newspaper and a job compositor.

But tho greatest surpriso vet remained for me, in the person of Mr. C. S. Glassco, of Tuscola, 111., whose portrait is herewith given. Mr. Glassco not only sets typo lcfthamlcd, but has only tho left hand to set with, for by accident, when live years old, he was deprived of his right hand. The cut is a good picture of the gentleman, and represents him with his stick in the position in which lie holds it when setting type.

In distributing Mr. Glassco lifts tho matter with his left hand, anil places it 111 the elbow of his short arm, head up, or in exactly in an inverse order from that of ono who distributes with his right baud that is, he distributes the matter in exactly tho order of its composition, beginning at tlio head of the article and'following down. The feat of holding the matter tho elbow joint of his snort arm Mr. Glassco perforins with case, anil holds all tho mat tor he can lift with his hand. His method of distributing iob-work is tho same as in reading or newspaper matter. Ho can pick up any width of matter and get it in position on his arm that any two-handed printer can get up and hold in his hand, and he prides himself in tlio fact that ho makes as little pi as tho average, typesetter or foreman. Tho appearance of his ofheo when 1 saw it substantiated this fact,

Mr. Glassco was born Coles County, 111 July 129, He was raised on a farm, and after becoming old enough always made a hand at anything and every thing, from chopping wood to binding grain, notwithstanding ho lost his hand at live years of age, as above stated, by an accident in a sorghum null.

Father Foley visited daily until tho close of the civil war. It is estimated that he had under his care during this period fully 5,000 men. The late Archbishop Spalding commissioned him, after five years' serv-

jn St. Peter s, to establish a new congregation in the western section, which the young clergyman did so promptly and successlully that tho Archbishop determined to dedicate the new church to bo erected, corner of Fulton and Fayette streets, after his patron, St. Martin, his own naino being Martin John Spalding. Tho corner-stone was laid July 19,1SG7.

Though tho number of worshipers the beginning was only 900, Dr. Foley extended the work of tlio congregation steadily. A modest census gives 3,000 as the lowest limit of tho parishioners. Ho introduced the Sisters of Charity and the Brothers of Mary, for whom he erected large sehool-houscs. To Ins efforts was duo the opening of St. Joseph's nouso of Industry, iit tho corner of Cary and Lexington streets, Baltimore, winch property ho secured for tho Sisters of Charity that orphan girls might have a comfortable homo. The Nuns of tho Good Shepherd were struggling in their sphere, having nothing but an unpretentious building. Dr. Foley succeeded his brother, when the latter was appointed Bishop of Chicago, as chaplain of tho order, and started immediately to givo it an impetus. A piece of property, bounded by Mount, Hollins, Gilmor and Lombard streets, with three large buildings on it, aro evidences of his energy. Besides, ho opened a house of tlio community in Washington, D. C.. of winch ho is the Superior. When Cardinal Gibbons introduced the Bon Secour ladies there ho gave them in caro of Dr. Foley. A hall, in which young members of parochial, literary, debating anil social organizations meet, was also built three benevolent associations of gentlemen, and as many moro of ladies, were started by lnm.

For the colored race he has always had a very kindly feeling. Among them ho was a most earnest worker, seeking out singly all ho could, and imparting to them religious instruction. As a result, ono hundred colored men, women and children attend services at St. Martin's, and have their own classes of catechism twice a week. lathe beginning Dr. Foley had no helper. Tho increase of work, however, necessitated the services of an assistant. Rev. Stanislaus Ryan, at present pastor of tho Immaculate Conception Church. Washington, was sent to aid Dr. Foley. Then came Rev. John Delanv, pastor of St. Joseph's, Taneytown, Md., and Rev. James Mackin, pastor of St. Paul's. Washington, as their respective predecessors wero promoted, and linally Rev. Thomas J. Broil crick.

Bishop Foley is of dignifie.il bearing, with fine phvsiquo and face. On terms of close intimacy with Archbishops Spalding and Bavlcy and Cardinal Gibbons, ho has been complimented by each with tho position of counsellor and intrusted with many important missions 41

But his performance of duty in tho valous positions to which ho has been appointed has been so thorough aud Just that, without his seeking it, leading men interested in Indian affairs aro already of ono mind regard to his future after March 4. Commissioner Oberly was born in Cincinnati in 1S38. While a bov, after tho removal of tho family to Wooster, O., ho went into a printing office and learned tho trade from beginning to end, rising to bo president of tho National Printers' Union. When the war broke out ho lived at Memphis, Tenn., where ho and a partner were running a Union paper.

He was driven out of tho city in 1S01 and moved to Illinois. When President Cleveland was elected Oberlv was a reporter for tho Chicago Times. Ho had been chairman of tho Democratic Stato Committeo of Illinois, and so had some prominence in his party. The Times sent him to Albany after Governor Cleveland's election to furnish the paper with speculations as to the makeup of tho Cabinet. "Bishop" Oberly, as his newspaper friends like to call him on account of his resemblanco to a fine, old, well-fed Methodist Bishop, succecdcd very well with tho President-elect, and was particularly favored in tho way of news. When Cleveland's Administration camo in Oberly was one of the first men to be remembered. Ho was lirst appointed Inspector of Indian Schools. Ho was then made a member of tho Civil-Service Commission, and during tho past fall, on tho retirement of General Atkins, was appointed Indian Commissioner. He abounds good stones, is always interesting, and if Illinois should ever become Democratic in its Legislature, ho would be one of the first men thought of for the United States Senate. J. A. T.

WHO KNOWS HIM?

Tlio Landlady's HuslmiKl—A Useful Fellow ho Knows Ills J'laco anil Keeps

It.

The average boarder thinks tho average landlady is a widow, and this impression has spread until it may bo said to permeate the community. Tho acute boarder, on tho other hand, knows that tho landlady has a husband, although the discovery was mado by occult means. No boarder over was, or ever will be, introduced to tho landlady's husband.

Tho new boarder at breakfast finds a largo woman at tho head of the table, whom ho knows to bo tho landlady, and tho chances arc that ho fails to notice the little husband at tho foot. Yet tho landlady's husbaud is a remarkable man in his way.

No other man possesses tho faculty of so completely blotting himself out of existence. No ono knows what ho does for a living, and no boarder has ever met him outside of tlio dining-room. Ho must live somewhere, but whero ho keeps himself between meals and whero ho sleeps nt night aro mysteries known only to the landlady.

Tho landlady's husband is the best listener in the United States. He has no politics nor religion, and ho lends Ins indorsement to a living-machine or tho Revised version with equal placidity. Tho inventive boarder, tho poet, tho salesgcntloman anil tho itinerant corn doctor ought to liko the landlady husband better than they do. They will never meet another friend lilto lnm.

Tho landlady husband is an accommodating cater anil never betrays an especial liking for any viand. Ho has been known to make a hearty supper oil dried beef and bread, and when ho starts on its round tho dish of pickled salmon and receives it again empty lie botrays none ot tho emotion that must rack his frame.

What moro lieroic than tho persistence with which ho presses uio favorite boarder to tako the last sardmo or bit of cheeso when ho wants it himself? Who will testify to tho devotion of tho man who never cats berries until they are a drug on tho market and uses nnlk in his coflco if tho cream is short?

His self-abnegation is wonderful and receives no reward. No ono defers to him, the waitresses tako orders only from the landlady and the new boarder walks on bun after the first day. There is no man except tho landlady's husband who can see his wife hold the purse without a qualm or reccive from her his car faro aud tobacco money with a matter-of-fact air.

It has never been discovered why tho landlady has a husband or what becomes of him after sho dies. It is certain that he does not run tho boarding-house,and unless ho is buried in tho same gravo it must be that lie hunts up a widow and becomes another landlady's husband.—J. H. Smith, in N. Y.

FRANK HATTON.

A l'romlnont Politician anil Nowsptipee Mmi Who Has Onno Moro Taken Up His ilcshlcnce in Washington.

Tho purchase of tho Washington Post by ex-Postmaster-General Hatton and Beriah Wilkins promises for tho capital at last something liko a strong, bright, popular newspaper. Hatton, sinco his retirement from President Arthur's Cabinet, has engaged in a number of newspaper enterprises, all of which havo become great successes not long after ho let go of them. Ha has now settled Washington to block out for himself a career as a journalist of National proportions. Hatton is a constitutional partisan, incisivo and deadly as a carving-knife. Thcro is not a fiber him that is at all uncertain politically.

A few days beforo tho expiration of Mr. Arthur's term a Virginia postmaster went into his officc and proposed to Hatton to resign and have a Democratic friond- of his appointed who would havo tho office in his store, and let lnm run it. Frank said: "You aro a Republican?" "Yes." "You propose tocontinuo to support tho party?" "Yes." "You opposed Cleveland?" "Yes." "Well, you have no right to an offlcft under an administration whoso election you opposed, and 1 would not bo a party to tho mean trick by which you hope to get it. Stand up like a man and be kicked out with tho rest of us 1"

This illustrates Mr. Ilatton's Republicanism. He is a native of Cadiz, O., forty-four years old. 'W hen tho war broke out he enlisted, and at nineteen was Lieutenant. Beforo lio was twenty-one his father moved to Iowa, aud thcro young Hatton engaged in newspaper work.

In Is7-i ho went to Burlington and bought a half interest in tho Hawkeye, which became a groat success. In 1STG ho was a delegate to tho National Republican convention at Cincinnati, whero ho voted for

When Postmaster-General Howe died ho was promoted into tho Cabinet.

wears his coat collar turned up, even inl this mild weather, which is a sure indictn tion of a loaforish instinct no gentleman, over does it except in extremely cold weather. As to tho next one, No. 4, Ii scarcely like to give a positive opinion. He/ wears his hat almost too precise a man-1 ner. The chances aro that ho is a hard,! cold, calculating man, a man who is j'ust,! but inflexible in fact, a good man to avoidl it you wish to get tho best of a bargain. "No. 5 is a careless man, perhaps capable, but has too littlo regard for his personal appearanco. He invariably buys a hat two sizes too largo for his head, and jams it over his cars. A combination of this one and No. 1 produces such a character as Luther Lafiiu Mills. No. 0 is a queer case, with hardly enough character to be worth considering. Ho is tho extreme of No. 5, and wears a hat too small, which is an abomination. As to No. 7, probably a settling clerk on tho board, I can't say much either. It is to bo hoped that ho will grow outof himself. For No. 8 1 havo both pity aud consideration. Ho is a sort of subdued Mark Tapley. His hat is worn on the sido of his head to produce an air of jauntiness that lie scarcely feels, and is almost commendable. Unliko No. 3, his coat collar is turned up for an obvious reason. He is the very numerous young man out of a job, and, figuratively speaking, his hat whistles to keep up his courage. No. 9 is an odd case.i I happen to know him. Ho is a talented) writer, who wears a skull hat and a bald! cpot on tho back of his head. Of the latter^ ho is very proud, and will never wear a hat that conceals it, even in tho street."
