A correspondent of tbe New York Sun writes as follows : Judge Thomas Al. Cooley, oliairman of the Inter-State ComlaerceConimission, and James B. Angelí, one of the niembers of the International Fish Commission, are both resident of the pretty little city of Ann Arbor, Micb, which is the seat of the university of which the city is so proud. Cooley has made bis home at Ann Arbor for a score of years, busy with his duties as justice of the Michigan supreme cnurt, his law writings and his genend practice. Mr. Angelí has tean for nixteen years president of the university. The two gentlemen are warm friends, but widely different in appearance, manners and haits. Mr. Angelí has been a traveler, a student for pleasnre, and something of a man of the world Judge Cooley has been all his life a most uuremitting worker and a student with a particular object in view. He has had no time for travel, and has lived a life of the utmost simplicity. He never drinks, smokes, chews or indulges in ony of the ligher pleasures of life. Hs is not of a social turn, and flnris no enjo ment outside of his work and his family. Eight o'clock in the morning is not an early hour for him to begin his work and 11 at night is not too late to continue. When in Michigan he could be found m his rooms at the court chamber long before many of the lawyers wno were to try cases before him were out ot bed. He is nearly as industrious in Washington. He arrivés at the rooms of the commerce commission early in the morning. remains late in the afternoon, and takes less tban an hour at noou for asimp e lunch. He is a man of medium size, but so very thin ihat he looks tall. llehasrather a small head, covered with short, stubby iron-gray hair, and a high and somewhat narrow forehead. His face is wrinkled and dry and the close-cropped beard, without a mustache, is the same color and texture as his hair. He dresses poorly, almost shabbily, and his well-woru dark frook coat is beginning to shine brigntly. Like William Al. Evarts and other brainy men, he wears a shocking hut It is a silk one, with the luster gone and the fur rubbed the wrong way. lie has not brought his family to Washington, but lives in a modest room at a hotel. He has been heard to express regret for having acoepted the unsatisfactory placo that he now holds us head of the In torState commerce commission. President Angelí is taller than Judge Cooley and younger. He wears better olothes and soems to onjoy himself more. He is a well-buüt man, and has a pleasant, open face, covered with a silky, brown beard, and he has thin hair of tlie same color. He is very dignified and easy in conversation, but quite haughty at times. He went to Aliohigan f rom Brown university.
