happy as when writing caustic attack upon some
prominent politician. ''Scalawag' Is . favorite
epithet with him, and 'scoundrel" Ii not dsdained

Madison streets. He accepted the courtesy or an
elevator to the skyght; for the editor-n-chfef Mr.
Horace White, has high notions in more senses
than One and keeps his sanctum In the ffth story
Of the Tribune structure Mr.. White is a native of
Wisconsin, and is still, comparatively speaking, a
young man. He is pale, thin, and Of bilious tenn
perament; his hair is black, and his beard, which
is rather thin, partakes of the same sombre hue.
He has handsome shining eyes. black as beetles,
and q low voice. His; manner, unlike that OF MIR.
