THE PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF
JOHN HANCOCK.

One who SAW Hancock in June 1892
relates that lie had the appearance Of ud
vanccd age. lie had been repeatedly
and severely afflicted with gout, probably
owing in part to the custom Of drinking
punrh-a common practice in high cir
cIcs in thcs; days. As recollectcd at :hi5
time, Hancock was nearly six feet in
height and Of thin person, STOPPING 1T
tie and apparently cnfecbled by dseas G.
LIS MANNERS were very gracious, OF the
Old style, dignitied complaisance. His
face had been very handsome. Dress was
adapted quite rs much to the ornamental
as useful. Gentlemen wore wigs when
abroad and common caps when at home.
At this time, about noon, Hancock was
dreSSe in a red velvet cap, within which
was one OF fine linen. The latter was
turn j up over the lower edge of the vel
vet one, two or three inches. He wore a
blue dama>k gown lined with silk: white
satin embroidered waist-coat, black satin
small clothes, white silk stockings and red
morocco slippers. 1t was general prac-
tlce in Eentecl families to have a tankard
Of punch made in the morning and placed
IN cooler when the season required it.
At this visit, Hancock took from the cool
cr standing On the hearth fall tankard,
and drank first himself, and then offered
1t to those present. His cquippage was
splendid, and such as is not customary al
this day. His apparel was sumptuously
embroidered with gold, silver, lace, and
other decorations fashionable amorg mcr
OF fortune of that period; and he rode, es-
pecially upon public occasions, with six
beautiful bay horses, attended by servants
IN livery. lie wore scarlet coat, with
rufiics on H. sleeves. which soon became
the prevailing fashion; and it is related Of
DIR. Nathan Jacques, the famous pcdestri-
An Of West Newberry, that he passed all
the way from that place to Boston in ono
day TO procure cloth for a coat like that
of John Hancock, and returned with it uu-
der his arm on foot.

"Comc, let us now sup together, with
out any more fighting"
But when they came to look for their
supper, they found it on the the ground,
all trodden under foot, and stained with
blood. Meagre AS it was, the regretted it.
In addition to this, the cabin was distroy-
ed, and the old witch, seated in a corner,
fixed her eyes on the four young men.
"Why dost thou stare on us thus?" said
the first Henry who WAS troubled at her
gaze.
81 am reading the fatcs written on your
forcheads," replied she.
The second lieury commanded her
sternIy to disclose them, and the two 9th.
ers IaughingIy acquiesced. The old wo-
man replied:
"As you have all four met in this cabin
SO shall you meet in like destiny. AS
you have trampled under foot and stab.
bed with blood the bread offered YOU by
hospitality, so will you trample under TOO,
and stain with blood the power YOU might
mutually share. As you have devastated
and impoverished this cottage, 50 will yoa
dcNastatc and lay waste France. As YOU
have all four been wounded, in .hc dark.
ness, so YOU will all four perish by treason
and n violent DEATH"
The four young noblcmcn could not re
frain from laughing at the old woman's
prediction.
