HORACE GREELEY-HGs APPEARANcE-We
find the following in the Standards account
of the reception of Horace Greeley:
Mr.. Greeley is about fifty years age, stands
nearly or quite six feet high and is tolerablv
broad in the shoulders His hair is faxen.
and thinly scattered below the crown and
around the back and sides of his head. The
top of his head is entirely bald His forehead
is broad and massive lie wears a whisker
under his chin, and has eyebrows so white
and delicately defined, that it is difficult at
first sight to discover the existence of that
ornamental portion Of the face His gait is
peculiar. He lifts not only his feet, but his
hips, when he walks, and keeps his head
bent some distance in advance of his body.
These are made, not in derision, but remarks
because so much has heretofore been said on
this head by the Atlantic press, that many of
our people felt curious to know whether the
facts or a mere fiction, had been stated.
Mr.. Greeley's baggage was taken in charge
