pure white OF his hair and whiskers. He
dresses in rare taste, wearing "A suit Of

voice is both soothing and impressive. Its
deeper notes are a. rich as the tones Of an

shrlll, but possesses certain whistling,
chilling stridor, like wind from the
North. An old-fashioned preciseness
rounds off his sentences. His rhetoric is
architectural. He builds his speech in
regular and definite proportions, inserting
an adjective there. chiseling phrase here,
and sparing no art that can make IL pom

drifts on the l300-foot level Of the mine OF
the company named. The distance be-

s,h of July last. They were Of heavy
steel plate, aud so constructed as TO
make them impervious to the force Of
any bullet, as the test marks which they
bore proved. The villains who wore
them were evidently prepared to face
danger. as no provision had been made
tor defence from an attack iu the rear ;
and baving successfully drawn tie fire
of the express messenger, their way
was expected to be clear to the coveted
booty. These articles were evidently
manufactured to order, and we believe

may mean something far more siguif-
