cal Prospect.

ernor Gratz Brown, OF Missouri, yester-
day morning. Governor Brown was in
his room at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
The next Vice President of the United
States has a striking appearance. He
is tall, broad-shouldered, has a fine
figure, and q head which at once indi-
Gates the student and thinker. 1t is
large and well shaped. The features
are clear cut; the expression OF the
face is keen and shrewd; the eyes are
bold and frank, and the whole appear
ance of the man is remarkable. Hif
forehead is high; his hair, which is Of
a dark red color, falls smoothly over
his neck. 1t curls naturally. The
color is q strange one. 1t is not the
ordinary red, and it is not auburn, but
t has a color of its own, a smooth, soft
red, which, with the masses OF this
hair, gives the head an appearance
which is perfectly unique. The beard
is long, full, and of decided red. The
face looks manly, bold; the eye has a
quick, decided look; the man impresses
you at a glance as man OF mind, oi
nerve, OF character.
The Governors manner is simple.
He shook hands heartily with the Sun
reporter, and said:
"Well, l have been a journalist, too
and | am always glad to see journal
lists"

Sun reporter to the other noted Liberal
Republicans who were in the room

war;; there was Mr.. James NJ. Scovel
of New Jersey, member of the National
Liberal Republican Committee, who
has a very pleasant smile and look s
generally good natured; there was the
Hon. Joseph Pulitzer, Of st. Louis, a
grim, tall, ghostly man, with red nous
taches. and long red chin whiskers,
fierce, almost diabolical.
THE CELEBRATED JOE.
"This is the celebrated Joe Of the
Bill and Joe Convention the Governor
said.
Mr.. Pulitzer smiled a ghastly smile,
and said he was happy to meet the
representative Of the New York Sun.
The Sun reporter took second look
at Mr.. Pulitzer. He has a face as
sharp as a razor, nose which is
almost infinitely long, and thin, long
lips. His cheeks are thin, cadaverous,
and his fine eyes are obscured by
golden spectacles, which are rich set.
ting to these extraordinary orbs. Mr..
Pulitzer looks like a remarkable man.
He has the longest legs Of any man OF
his size the reporter ever saw.

United States.
The Governor with a good.natured
smile)-Well, sir, | believe you see him
now.
Reporter-You believe that you will
be elected.
The Governor-I am certain Of it. ]
am positive that Horace Greeley will
be elected with large majority.
Reporter-How many States will
Grant carry in your opinion?
The Governor-In my opinion not
over three. said so in New Haven a
few days ago, and say so now.
The Hon. Joseph Pulitzer-No, Gov.
ernor, think six. think Grant will
carry six States at the least.
The Governor-I think not.
The conversation then became gen.
eral, and the reporter took his leave.
During the rest of the day Governor

SENATOR sCHCRZ ROLLING UP HIS SLEEVES
A Sun reporter conversed with Car
Schurz yesterday for few moments
The great German Senator was in hi:
room at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He
had taken his coat off. He seemed
pleased when he saw the Sun reporter
mo interviewing" he said, smiling
ly, as he grasped the reporters hand.
Reporter-No, ! shall ask but few
questions. Is it true that you wept ir
your room after the nomination o.
Horace Greeley, and that you poured
out your griefs on the Steinway piano
which you had in your room1
Carl Schurz Tin his calm, pleasant
dignified manner)-Why, all that ha:
been completely refuted. Did you read
the article in the Chicago Tribune or
this subject ?
Reporter-No.
Carl Schurz-It shows that there i;
not the slightest foundation Of truth
in it.
Hon. Joseph Pulitzer (who was in
the room, being one Of Mr.. Schurz's
associates on the Westlicke PoSt)-Why
l was in the room at the very moment
when Mr.. Sehurz came IN. He wa:
just as good humored as he is now, and

over the piano.

whole story was an absurd fabrication
Reporter-Do you intend taking part
in the coming canvass?
Carl Schurz-I shall leave on SUM-
