"Willi the face cf one of the most impartnnt cf the Treaeury officials the public is not to familiar. That cne is tha cew Comptroller of the Treasury, tlon. Milton J. Darhin.

A ÄTcoitb-faced man with rather thin hair a face that is not especially striking. He is one of the most easily reached of the Cabinet c Ulcers. There is not the delay and red tare that there was in reaching his Ertdecessor. Mr. Garland, who tignalizsd ia entrance into the department by tne ale of all the department horses and carriages, atill clings to the gorgeous curtains that his predecessor bad put up in the large aad Lsndsotcely furnished room that serves for an onice for the head of the Law Department of the United States Government. He is the head of the department, and the chief law officer of the Government He repressnta the United CIäUs in matters involving le?al questions ; he gives hia advice and opinion on questioas ' cf law when they are required by the President or by the heads of the other executive dipartments on questions of law arising open the administration of their respective deportmentj; he exercises a general superintendence rod direction over United States attorneys ana marshals in all jadicial districts ia the Statesand territories; aad hs provides special counsel for the United Ctates wherever required by any department Cf the Government. The heads of the War and Navy Dapartnients are, of course, ratüer hard to reach.

He Is an ex Confsderatfl, a lavyer, a quiet nnassuming sort of a man. and is enterirg upon his daties as though he was an eld band at it. Poth Mr. Muidrow and hi3 chief, Mr. Lamar, are very approachabb men, cot at all "dtuck up," and giro prom-i-eofaa excellent management of tha Iqtericr Department. The Secretary cf the Interior Dapartnent is charged with the supervision of public business relating to patents for iu7?atioas, pension and bounty f unds, tbe public lands, includiRg mines, the Indians, education, raiircads. tbe public surveys, the census when directed by law, the custody and distribution cf public documents, and certain fccspitals and eleemosynary institutions in the District cf Columbia. He also exercises certain powers and dut'es In relation to the Territories of the United States. The Assistant Secretary of the Interior performs such duties a are preEcribed by the Secretary or require! by law, aiding in the general adaiinistratioa cf the affairs of tbe department. In tbe abeence of tho Secretary he acts as tha head tf the department. The Postmaster General is ooe of ths most difficult men ta reach in tha Cabins t, and the most business like aad frank when yoa d) reach him. He has strict cist-ircn rales, and ha3 the misfortune to have Inherited a Chief Clerk when he took possession who appears to be better fitted for noiog corn ia Indiana than in his present position. He was brought here by Po3trnaster General Gretham, probably because he resembled GreEbam a gcod deal, for to far as ran be discovered lbi3 is his chief merit.

Of course veyybody knows what the duties of tlifl Postmaster General are. He has the direction and management of t h.a. -Pos to! lice Dtpartrr.ent.

The story has been too often told to make it worth while to repeat it now. He is the new Commissioner of the Gsneral Land Office. The Coaamisjioaer of PabUc Laads is charged with the survey, management aad sale of the public domain, and the issuing of titles therefor, whether derived from confirmations of grants made by former governments, by aale, donations, or graata for echocls, railroads, military bounties, or public improvements, "Times must le getting pretty hard .with the lawyers," remarked a traveling man.

CHICAUO LETTER.

Cnicr;o, Apiil 3. Breathos there a man crwoaen who n6ver to another hath said tlU u my own native land? As one cirgles with the hurrying, restless thrcrg which surges back and f jrth thrcugh the principal streets and thorocghfares, be is impressed with the coa7iction that seven tenths of all th people are far from native sites, land3 and era tide scenes.

Oa every hand are rr atrial hemes, but what of the immaterial? Wnat of the conditions that constitute the elements of a perfect heme? One riht in March tho tickle cf a ti!vr bell peaied through the halls of a finely appointed house in a fashionable locality. A servant opened the no'sslesely swinging door. A gurney stood at the gate. Two men emerged therefrom, bearing a third between them. Up the steps, along the stone flagging, through the broad portal, past the stained glsss door, into the vestibale, and the limp, helpless and unconscious man was placed upon a large sofa in the apartment. A lady, clad in a soft, fleecy wrapper, with trimmings of lace and silken garniture, appeared at the top of the brojd stairway, aad cendiDg and looking down, asked, "Joha, what Is the matter?" "Nothing serious, madame," the servant replied. She etepped quickly down the velveted stairs, looked upon tb.9 bloated, red fare ct the inebriated man, clasped her ban is nervously, and ejaculated: "My God! again? ' Tcrnlc?, ihe slowly reascended tie siep3. At the top ehe paused, and tremulously said : 'John, bave hia taken to the eau corner room, and stay by him to night." "Yes, madame." Alcns the channel of sound there came back the impression of a sob; surely it was net the outburst of a happy heart. Horte in its real meaning is lyjoayraous with all that is trne, pure and nappifykg It Is often Ea?d by moralfz;r3 that woman is the heme maker and even builder. Bat the fame feeling f jr exclusiveruaj exists in men as in women, acd es our government, grand tnd ttrorg as it is, is dimply an aggregation of home?, the centers "around wh'ca cluster the best elements cf the Nation, why should not men 'aiscrt their right to tbe title of ' home builders'' the eame as women7 It is said that more than 00 per cent, of the taxpayers of Ch'rsgo :re women, and this fact a'one ebculd bring the male taxpayer to feel that tho prosperity and happiness of the family is equally dependent upon the husband, the lAa cs the woman. A system of ' home making' was inau?uraied a few jcar3 ago wh'ca has resulted favorably for Cnlcago, and i3 known as the 'ilat system." Many people, who were unable to buy or even to rent a bouse, can live comfortably and even in comparative luxuiyu these flats lare ttmctares, five, six, and seme cf them eight stories hign, arrarged into commodious apartments, each collection cf icoms, or the flat, separate 1 from every other collection, accessible by elevators acd Lout and tack stairs, with every convenience in each flat, every appointment perfect. One could not fail to tied contentment In such a boats, if depent'eat upon a hired oae. Eachbuildicg bas its janitor, each elevator its attendant, and a sufficient number of assistants to ensure well-kept balls and stairWAT 8 The plumbing of these co operative tenements is as nearly perfect as possible, aad the gas fixtures and pipes are also looked after by tbe janitor. I was told, however, by a contractor a few days ego, that there would be no. more of thett blocks erected, because the flat systom was going out cf style, and the whole-house plan would be the nexttysteoa to be adopted. The new etyle of houses will be so arranged that the culinary and dining apartments will be cn the first floor instead of in the basement as in siegle bouses now. If this change comes about it will greatly lessen the rates of rent of flats, aod mechanics and men of lees means will occupy the flits now monopolized by the higher paid and salaried classes. The plan of renting two, three or four rooms of a housa or flat to second parties for house keeping is an anvantage to thoee of limited means. Hundreds of girls and women occupied in shops, office?, stores and counting-rooms can in this way surraurd themselves with little comforts and conveniences scarcely to be realizsd unless witnessed. A class of working women receive so small wages that they can not support a little home of this character within a radius of two or three miles of the business centers; consequently many go out oa the Hoes of street cars f jur and more miles, hire a room, procure an oil stove, the necessities in furniture, decorate the practical walls with chrcmos and pretty advertising cards, placing simple ornaments in this nook and that corner, acd so the instinct for a home developes and materializes, and the girl's domicile is her own so long as she can pay the $ i a week, or so, for its rental. But girls can not claim a monopoly of this amateur homemaking. In a certain street cn the North Side two young men, who are bookkeeper, are also their own housekeepers, and have ben for nearly a year. Their home consist of two rooms with all appointment! perfect for light housekeeping; one room serve as kitchen and dining room, the other, wbich contains a folding bad. is chamber, parlor acd reception room. The walla bear the evidence of their own skill as

silist?, ard odd and unique bits of woodcivirg artistically arranged ehow their pride in the appearacce cf their surroundirge, eo nearly an innovation upon Ua cJeims cf tbeir a'sters. One of tbe party is the ecok ard man of the kitchen, and tte ether is Ihe rraket toy and ' eecoad-' hlp?r. Iheir rccms indicate the most scrapnloos otserYarce of the details of hou3ekeepiaz, and many a girl nvght profit by sach mollis, lhere are phases of Chica go home life tha veiy thought or sgbt of which repeis and dij't-s s Inpnbrious prophecies of tbe ch .'ere. 1 ccurpe and the possible m'.as of invention aUcgcthcr. cr iti culmica'.iia as an epidemic.

Mrs. Cady Stanton thinks the success of woman suttrage would bs assured if it cjuid cnlj be made fashionable. Veiy natnral are the artificial Eister lilies need for house decoration and at some fashionable weddings. Tbe stained glass crazs in fashionable borseholds is waning and the oplnioa of intelligent people is that wholesale imitation has killed it. A Philadelphia woman says she was kissed by a spirit at a seance. The sensation must be almost as gratifying aa being hugged by a gbest of a chance. Colonel Ingersoll was asked to reveal the secrets ot oratory, and said: "Use small words to express the idea and be sure that the idea overlaps the word at both ends." It is becoming more and more apptrent every day that pretty women who go wroag will never be sure of getting punished as they deserve until juries are composed of won.cn. At the last official reception given by President Grevy, ot France, some young fashionables, who thought to introduce scarlet neckties for evening dress, were summarily ejectad from the Elyse Palace. Sunshade handles suggest that the designers' fancies have run riot. Such a variety has never been seen, acd there is everything, from tbe owl perched oa a bough to the goodailed pug sitting for a photograph.

In that time the peculiar fragrance that constitutes the true merit of tte "cup that cheers but does not inebriate" is extracted. Farther steeping causes a loss by volatilization with no gain ia the active principle. Hard water is preferable to soft, in that it does not so readily dissolve the tannin that is contained in the leaves.

After receiving a careful preparation, Mr. Phelps became a student at 21idd!ecury College, where he was giaiuated. He then read law and was admitted to the Bar. His earliest practice was in New York City, from whence he removed, ia 1SCC, to Bcrlia-rlon, Vermont, and begin business la that city. He soon built up a large practic?. and wsa lecsgnizsd as one of the leading lawyers ia his own S ate. His professional succefsrs induce engagements ia other commonwealths th.n. Vermont, and frequent appearances tefors the United States Supreme Court. is now counsel for tbe Pasama llsiiway Company. For two succeuve terms he was President of tbe Arueiican Bar Association. In 1 SS L h was elected Kent Professor cf La?7 in Yale College, and thus assumed, that which no man cculd better appreciate, aa influential pcsition in the academic and social circles of New Haven. His daties at Ya!e CDmprisa, additional to instructions given in tbe Law School, lectures before the theolagical department upon legal topics of interest to tbe ministry, and to tbe academic students upon international aad municipal law. Ho is exceedingly popular in the College, and his resignation, which will be presented at the next me&ting of the corporation of that institution, is deeply deplored. During twenty-five years Mr. rheloihas been cne cf th leading representatives of tbe Democracy of a State wuich is overwhe'raingly Republican in its sentiment. In the campaign cf lS70.be was promisad by Mr. Tilden tbe pcsition he has jast accepted, in tbe event of Democratic success. Iu Jane, 1SS0, Mr. Phelps was nominated for Governor of Vermont by the largest State Democratic Convention ever held in that C3ram on wealth. Every vot9 cast was for the man who would certainly bring oat the largest possible Democratic vote. As a matter of course, be was defeated in the ensuing campaign. Physically Mr. Thelps is a man of fine presence, five feet eight inches in height aad weighing aboct 170 pounds. In complexioa he is very dark; his eyes and hair are black and his complexion a clear, dark olive. Mrs. l'belps ebares his fondness for society, but their erjoyment of its recreations has besn checked recently by the death cf an only son. They have one daughter, now their eole issue, who is married and- lives in New Ycrk. Of Mrs. Phelps it is said ehe would make the bet r oasible Minisier to Eng and. next to Mr. Phelps himself. She is a very lacdsome won: an, a little above medium height. Her fortune of S'iO.OOO was paid to btrbyone cf hr husband's clients who, knowing Mr. Phelja' habit o! spending money perhaps toojrenerovslv for the interest cf his family, procured leave from the pc-ntieman most concerned iu tha transaction, to pay the large fee indicated to the more prudent member of the connubial partnership.
