The Hon Henry A. Wise lately made 6

heard him thus writes his impression of the
man:
Il was disappointed in the personal appear

Wise to see a person Of commanding stature
upright bearing, with flashing eyes and noble
iorehead; but he is no such man: He is below
the medium height not more than five feet
seven or eight inches, very spare, would not
weigh more than hundred and thirty, proba-
bly, not that.
There is nothing progressing about him
He is, in fact positively ugly. Very gentle
manly and courteous IN his hearing toward
Others, but in his person he is almost slover.

with streaks of yellow saliva, his clothing rath.

ness in their sockets; high check bones, and
a complexion saffron hued from his inordinate
use Of tobacco; STOPPING carriage and tremb
ling gait did not indicate the great man.

stood before us, his shoulders dropping and
bent forward, his chin and shirt bosom spat.
