tionable, and his intellect and general bust
ness ability are such that he personally at
tends TO his own finances, and transacts all the
business appertaining to leasing his houses,
loaning his money on bond and mortgage, and
looking after his estate in general.
The petite general owns a fine yacht bear
ing his own name, which he sails himself with
as much nautical skill as any sold salt" who
sails out of Bridgeport harbor. He also keeps
a fine pair Of Shetland ponies and splendid
fast horse for his own driving as well as a
highly trained pair of hunting dogs. His rifle
and fishing tackle were of course made ex-
pressly to suit his diminutive size, and he is
very successful sportsman. He killed several
deer while travelling west last year.
A few months since the little General was
made free mason. He has already taken
three degrees, and expresses determination
to ascend the mystic ladder until he has
reached the top round. Although General
Tom Thumb has always led life of excite
ment, and twice after retiring to private life
has felt compelled to exhibit himself again to
keep off the eneut, he remarked to the writer
ofthis article last week, while quietly twirling
his elegant little moustache, of which he seems
quite proud, that he hoped one of these days
to get married, "in which event." he added
with roguish look, ~ guess that the cares
of family, added to my ordinary duties, will
give me enough to occupy my attention, and
prevent the necessity of again seeking the ex-
citement of travelling exhibition
The General is something of politician,
he contributes literally to charitable purposes
and is highly respected by his fellow citizens.
He has been offered the candidacy for several
public Offices, but he says he leaves such hon
. ors for smaller men.
