George Washington'spersonal appear
ance: "Washington was 6 feet 2
inches in height, with very erect, ro-
bust, stalwart frame. He had a fine
breadth Of chest; long, well-shaped,
and very strong arms; a broad, large
hand, with a grasp like a wise; and
very straight, well-rounded lower
limbs. He had a large head, set on
a strong, full neck, with a command.
ing carriage. His hair was brown, OF
dark auburn; his eyes grayish blue
set far apart, and his complexion rud'
dy, or ford. Stuart, who painted
him, declares that the sockets of hif
eyes were larger than he had eve,
met with before, and the upper part
of his nose broader and fuller. All
of his features were indicative of the
strongest passions, although his judg'
ment and great selfcommand made
him seem different in the eyes Of the
world"

MINNESOTA'S CREDIT.

A vail comes through the New
York Tribune from a Mr.. Arthur
Densmore, of New York, who holds
$1,000 of the old Minnesota railroad
bonds, for which he wants dollar for
dollar and accrued interest. Mr..
Densmore probably paid from II to
80 per cent. for these bonds, which
was what the majority Of them cost
theirpresent holders; but though know
ing them to be fraud, he is not willing
to accept less for them than he would
demand for bonds of unquestioned
character. He says:
'.Although she has not repudiated her
later debt-and which is besides very small
in amount-she cannot borrow in any
money market except on ignominious
terms"
Minnesota has not repudiated and
never will repudiate any honest debt,
which this railroad debt is not; and
she has been able to borrow all the
money she wants at low rates of in
terest. Misrepresentation of this
kind will not tend to hasten a SETTLE
ment between the State and the hold
ers Of those old bonds.

at the time, he being a noted desper-
ado. While in Jail he boosted of his
crimes. The excitement of the citi-
zens was great, and after his examin.
alton the next day before themayor, it
eliminated in the assault Of about
500 citizens on the policemen who
were taking him back to jail. Smith
was captured by the mob, a rope
placed round his neck, and he was
hung to a lamp-post, in sight of thou.
sands ofspectators, and in broad sun
light.
