Striking Resemblance

One of the most striking cases of resemblanco is one whih I have never seen mentioned in publio print, says a Washington correspondent of tho Pittsburgh Diapatch. The famous man from Maine has a doublé here in Washington. Ho is Prof. Charles B. Young, who for more than twenty-flve years has been prominently identiüed with the educational interests of the capital. Mr. Young bears a striking rcscmblance to Mr. Blaine. He is somewhat slighter in form and smaller in face than tho Plumed Knight, but the similarity is very noticeable. His resemblance to so famous a character has caused Prof. Young somo amusement and no end of embarrassment. While waiting to board a train at New Brunswick, N. J., while Garfleld lay dying at Elberon, he was approached by a New Brunswicker, who, with doffcd hat, stammeringly said: " 'Souseme, Mr. Secretary, but, as Iheard you were in Elberon to-day, won't you pleaae teil me how tho President laf" "lam not a 'Mr. Secretary,' my good man," said the professor, "and I haven't been in Elboron to-day." " That's all right, sir. I understand that you want to travel incog. Just teil me how he is and I won't give you away." " I really don't know how tüo President Is, and I am not Mr. Blaine." The man doubtingly retired to a group Of associates noar by, and having spoken to them was 'greeted with jeera and the romark that ho was a dummy and that Blaine had bamboozlcd him. The man was so nettled at the chaffing that ho returned and Baid "that his fellow-townsman were very anxious to know how the President was, and - " but the train arrived at that moment. The professor hurried aboard, and as tho train moved away was greeted with a ringing choer for "James G. Blaine." Porhaps Prof. ï'oung's most singular experienco was the one that occurred several fears ago, when Mr. Blaine was Secretary 8Í State and living in Washington. Ho called at the Blaine house ono ovening to see the Secretary ou business. One moment after ho entered the drauiuir-room, Mr. Blaine, in response to the oord he had received from the visitor, oponed tho foldIng-doors and asked his visitor to romain a few minutes, as he was then busily ongaged with a previous caller. lírs. Blaine, with whom the professor had a pleasant acquaintance, ontered the room in a short time, and, with a slight glance at its oceupant, walked to tho window. Prof. Young feit hurt at what he supposed was hls hostess' for;,'i'ti'ulness. When ho mad bimself known, Mrs. Blaine admitted hor amazement by suying: " Why, I thought you were Mr. Blaine brother!" " 1 havo been taken foryonr di itnijuished busband, but never before for his biother," said Mr. Young. " Well, professor, you might very easlly be taken for either of them," said ihelady, and the preceptor oí youth joined his famous doublé.
