waist was, remarkably slender-so slen-

kimbo he could'easily, as thought with
his long bony fingers, have spanned it,.
Around. him his coat, which was very
tight, was held together by one button,
and In consequence, an inch or. more of
tape to which it was attached was per-
ceptible where it was pulled through
the cloth. About his neck he wore a
large while cravat, in which his chin
was occasionally buried as he moved
his head in conversation no shirt collar
was perceptible; every other person
seemed to pride himself upon the size
of his, as they were worn large. Mr.
Randolph's complexion was precisely
that of mummy, withered, saffron,
dry and bloodless; you could not have
placed pins point upon bis face where
you would not have touched wrinkle.
His lips were thin, compressed and
colorless; the chin, beardless as boys,
was bread for. the size of his face,
which was small; his nose was straight,
with nothing remarkable in it, except
it was TOO short. He wore fur cap,
which he took off,. standing a few min
utes uncovered. Il observed that his
head was quite small, characteristic
