sprinkled here and there with frost, and
kept cut short, almost in stubble. The
mold of the features and the texture of
the skin all indicate an excellent organi-
zation, and an energetic, active mentality.
His physiological conditions are exceed
ingly favorable, for both mental and phys
ical efficiency, with a profounder cast of
intellect, less selfshness, and higher
moral character, he would, even with his
present restless ambitiors. hsEe made a
splendid man. As he is endowed, but for
the respectable surroundings Of his early
life, his liberal education, ETC., giving a
reputable direction and occupation to his
activity and ambition respectable associ-
ates, ETC., he might have made capital
prize fighter, or circus performer. His
intellect is not philosophical; knows little
Of principles; it deals with things already
discovered by others, and reduced to prac-
teal relations. Such things he can criti-
else with acumen. His voice partakes of
the excellence Of his organization, 1t is
best described, perhaps, by calling it a
tenor voice with chord of lower regis
ter vibrating through it, giving it mas
culine resonance, and musical complex
quality. No doubt, in his younger days,
and since, the man has often been inspired
with the wish--and that is to say, in this
case, with the detcrmination--to be an
orator, by the mere sound Of his own voice !;
and his wish would have been reasonably
gratiGed if he had been more liberally en-
dowed with the power Of language, and
with imagination, and was capable of ear
nestness other than that of combatiyeuess,
and concerning self. As it is, he cannot
rise above the mere debator, and that of
propositions originated by other people
only.
