those of Bishop Bailey. of Savannah, Bishop

Walt Whitman was in New York the
other day, on his way to Dartmouth
College, and the reporters there, with
entire unanimity voted him rough
looking seed. He wears coarse, grey
suit OF clothes, and never designs to
wear collar. He looked very much
out Of place in the metropolis. The
fact is, says correspondent, Walt
never looks nature ont OF Washington.
There bis coarse sa1lJr garb and bare,
collarless neck are regard as character
istcs inseperable from the man. Peo-
pie seek him and point him out as a
feature Of the capital, while every cab
driver, porter and newsboy in the city
boasts Of thor acquaintance with Walt
for to them the clasp Of bis great,
brawny hand IS more value than the
favor OF princes.
