THE PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF
JOHN HANCOCK.

One who saw Hancock in June 1882
relates that lie had the appearance Of ad
ranccd age. lie had been repeatedly
and severely afflicted with gout, probably
owing in part to the custom Of drinking
rnnrh-a common practice in high cir

height and Of thin person, STOPPING IT.

lis manners were very gracious, of the
old style, a digniiied complaisancc. His
face had been very handsome. Dress was
adapted quite rs much TO the ornamental
rs useful. Gentlemen wore wigs when
abroad and common caps when at home.
~ this time, about noon, Hancock was
dreSSe in a red velvet cap, within which
was one Of fine linen. The latter was

blue dama>k gown lined with silk; a white
satin embroidered waist-coat, black satin
small clothes, white silk stockings and red
morocco slippers. 1t was general prac-
tice 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 a fall tankard,
and drank first himself, and then offered
1t TO those present. His cquippage was
splendid, and such as is not customary a.
this day. His apparel was sumptuousIy

other decorations fashionable amorg mcr

"Come, 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 corner,
fixed her eyes OF the four young men.
"Why dost thou stare on us thus" said
the first Henry who WAS troubled at her
gaze.
Il am reading the fatcs written on your
forcheads," replied she.
The second Henry commanded her
sternly to disclose them, and the two 9th =
ors laughingly acquicsced. 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 trampIe under foot
and stain with blood the power YOU might
mutually share. As you have devastated
and impoverished this cottage, so will yoa
dcNaState and lay waste France. As YOU
have all four been wounded, in he 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.

THE CRIMINAL WITNESS.

In the spring Of lS4s ] was called TO
jackson to attend court, having been en-
gagged to defend young man accused Of
robbing the mail. had long confer
ence with my client, and he acknowledged
to me that on the night when the mail
was robbed he had been with a party of
diss'pated companions over to Topbam,
aud that on returning they met the mail
carrier OIL horseback coming from Jack
sou. Some Of his companions were very
drunk, and they proposed to stop the car
rier ard overhaul his bag. The roads
were very muddy at the time, and the
coach could not run. My client assured
me .Ea' he no. only had no hand in rob-
bing the mail, but that he tried to dis.
suade his companions. But they would
not listen to him. One of them slipped
up behind the carrier aud knocked him
from his horse. Then they bound and
blindfolded him, and having tied him to
tree they took the mail bag, and made
OIL TO a neighboring field, where they
overhauled il, finding some five hundred
dollars in money in various letters. He
went with them, but in no way did he
have any hand in the matter. Those
who did il fled, and as the carrier recoe.
nized him in the rarsy. he had been ar.
rested.
The mail bag had been found as we'll
as the letters. Those letters from which
money bad been taken, were kept, by Or
der Of tie officers, and duplicates sent to
the various persons to whom they were
directed. The letters had been given to
ne for examination, and | had returned
them to The prosecuting attorney.
