if not an important parsonage, George Fran
els Train, who attends the Convention as
delegate from Nebraska The precise
manner in which his appointment was
reached it is not worth while to enquire
about, presuming his credentials to be as
good as hundred others in attendance
George Francis does not resemblethe stAtes-
man in his personal appearance. Helooks
neither ike SolOn, Themistocles, nor Cesar.
If he were not pointed out as Train, there
Is great danger of his being mistaken for
person in the show business, as Arte mas
would say. 1 reeollect to have seen many
turt-men, nay, several venders of spirltuous
liquors in small quantities, who remind me
of Train Rather corpuient, black curly
hair, black eyes, complexion rather
swarthv he resembles a southron of the
indolent easy sort, rather than one born
IN the vicinity of Boston. He Is pleased
to mention this accident of birth
as the greatest misfortune of his life.
Without saying anything in fAYOr of such
a birth-place, one can readily believe it is
is among the smallest He is dressed in a
loose dress of striped cotton MATERIAL like
an Indiaman, and, on the whole, one
would say, quite regardless of his personal
outft.
Train belongs to large end growing
class of individuals who believe that they
are born with mission from heaven to ad-
,oinister the affairs of their native country
Among other things, he imagines himself
endowed with a God given aptitude for di-
nlomaey. Like Colorado JeYett, and few
athers. he is the victim of this delusion
and, truly enough lilre I;-se'1' - .
his verv appearance is enough to set one t
laughing. The manner of Train is decided
ly spasmodic, jerky, itful, and erratic :
: His brain Is fertile of schemes, ideas, snC
words. To every one who CONES within
his reach he pours out continually AM
amain his torrent of conversation. he bu1
hles and sparkles like a fountain wit
: 6tful Jerks of gas and foul vapors. H
; saws MANY brilliant things and as man.
: that are very stupid. Like the COW in th
story, which, after giving pailful OF mill
= put her foot in it; so George F. hard y e'
0 or saws a clever witty thing that he dos
: not spoil it by some pure folly immediatel
afterward. All will recollect with what
brilliant reputation he left England, as Il
10 great constructor of trainways, and how e
~ ectivelv he combated the folly of abolitioi
~ ism afterwards. One cannot but regr
., that he should have left so congenial al
IL useful a role, for which he was eminent
tilted, for that of president-making. L
delivered speech to a partially filed hS
last night, the burden of (which was th
General Dix would be the nominee Of Il

doing good service against Lincoln, but
