THE OLD BUND CHAPLAIN. Got Hits Appointment by Rebuking a Party of Congressmen. The death of WilU&m Henry MIL burn, for many years famous as the "blind chaplain." recalla the romantic and heroic fncldeota connected with hit) first election aa a chaplain of congress In 1845. When Milburn was 32, a very slight figure, bis left eye entire- ’ ly blind, bis right eye having but one little transparent point not so big as the head of a pin. giving him but a glimmer of the outer world, he waa traveling by Ohio river steamier from Cincinnati to Wheeling. W. Va. He r wae then entirely unknown to the world except to the little band of circuit riders among whom he had been preaching In the backwoods for a year. To his great delight be found on the steamer a large number of congressmen of both houses, who were on their way to Washington for toe opening of a session. Milburn expected great profit from their coqffersation. but waa soon shocked at their profanity, their gambling and their drunkenness. The Ohio river was low. and fogs coming on. they were detained over Sunday. At breakfaat a committee of passengers invited Milburn to preach, and a congregation of 300 persons assembled. At the close of a brief sermon. to the astonishment of all, he bowed to the men before him and said: ’’l understand that you are members of the congress of the United States, and as such you are or should be the representatives, not only of the political opinions, but also of the Intellectual. moral and religious condition of the people of this country. As 1 had rarely seen men of your class. I felt on coming aboard this boat, a natural interest to bear your conversation and to observe your habits. If I am to judge the nation by you I can come to no other conclusion than that It is composed of profane swearers, card players aud drunkards.
