before he could see tho assaIan,, he was
felled TO the floor by a heavy blow on his

ing sketch to Partisan journal:
"Picture 10 yourself, if you please,
a lean figure, with bony wrists; feet
with dimensions that would forever
tarnish the escutheon of a gentleman
a hat stuck upon the back OF the head
straight hair; a cheek swollen, not by
an accidental cold, but from morning
till night, by lump of tobacco; lips
stained yellow by the juice of the same
weed black coat with narrow skirt;
a tumbled shirt; the gloves of u cend'-
arme; trousers in harmony with the
rest of the equipment, and you will
have before you the exact portrait Of a
thorough bred Yankee.
Nevertheless, it takes those ill-pro-
portioned figures TO cross the Atlantic
in nine days; send a yatcht, the end
OF whose main boom can be touched
by nothing that floats in European
water, agricultural implements which
open Johnny's peppers, and do other
things, TO numerous too mention"
