power He possesses almost herculean
strength i'll bis arms, and can lift a
weightsat arm'slength that would seem
e too much for one of twice his weight
!, and muscle. His hair is light and very
. thin on the top, approaching badness;
$ his beard of. the same hue, worn full
: aud unshavsn, is beginning to be sprin-
!. kled with gray. His eyes are blue, and

but terribly steady and upmoyed IN

air quiet and easy, and calculated to
provoke attention. In 1882 General
: Buel married Mrs. Mason, the widow
Of Gen. Mason, of the Unite.l States
, Army, SO well known for bis services in
California at the time ,of the conquest
. of that country from Mexico. He has

has not been allowed to feel himself
