'The Power of Music.

IL looking over an old newspaper, printe

baser part, he picked up stone lying at his
feet, and was preparing to throw il, steady

General HarMcY.

In personal appearance General Harney
is impressive. He is considerably over six
feet high, and is large boned and muscular.
His hair was red, but it is now thickly mixed
white He wears it short and begins to be
bald on the top of his head. His moustache
and beard are nearly white, and are also
thick and clipped short. HI eyes are blue,
and dull, for he uses spectaces. In youn-
ger wears, lie must have been model Of
physical vigor and strength; but he now looks
older than he really is, for his age, we think
does not exceed fifty FIVE. While in Saint
Louis, we heard an anecdo:e illustrative of
his character, which we have never seen in
print. Being in New York many years ago,
he passed store in one of the principal
streets, in which an auctoneer was solicit
ing bids for an engraving of Jackson. Both
the seller and the crowd were no political
friends of the subject of the picture, and
were ridiculng it in every possible manner.

he repeated, making his way through the

in the room. The auctoneer, naturally as.

AN INSANE PoL1TICIAN,-Tho case
of Mr.. Adair, Of Clinton county. Mich.
affords a sad episode in the life of a
politician. This gentleman was the
Democratic candidate for County
Treasurer at the late general election,
and devoted himself to the canvass
with great zeal and industry. He
made so thorough a canvass Of the
county, that he saw and talked with
almost every man. He had never
been beaten before the people, and
had been elected when his party gen
orally were overthrown. But in the
lato election he was defeated, and is
now a raving maniac, requiring the
constant care of two men to prevent
him from committing fatal injuries
upon his family, which he has fro
qucntly attempted. Lafayette (Ind)
