The Personal Appearance of Dean swim.

Mr.. john Forster, in the first volume Of
his I"Llfe of Dean Swift, /" as recently pub
iished, gives thisgraphic sketch OF the great
when in the prime Of his
manhood: - .s. ~, ....,.
& Features regular, yet striking, forehead
high and temples broad and massive, heavy
lidded blue eyes, to which his dark COM
plexion and bushy black eyebrows gave un;
usual capacity for sternness as we'll as bril-
4iance !; n nose slightly aquiline, mouth reso-
lute,s with full7closed lips, handsome
dim pied double chin, and over all the; face
the kind of pride not grown of supercilious-
ness or scorn,i but of an easy, confident,
calm superiority. OF the dullness which
Pope saw sometimes overshatiow the coun-
tenance of his friend, of the inscience which
Young declares was habitual to IL, Of the
harsh, unreienting severity which il assumes
in Bindon's picture at the deanery, there Is
no trace at present. BY one who loved him
he was said TO have a look of uncommon
archness in eyes quite azure as the heayens;;

love him less, that he had look 50 awfuiig

Edward C. Wise, writing to the STATES.
MAN from Monterey, Nueva Leo1, Mexico,
February Is, says: 81 wish 10, CORRECT alb
surd, extravagsnt reports in the American
papers that revolution is again rampant in
this country. There is no revolution or
prospectof any. The reports have seen
in the Galveston Neles are manufactured ont
of whole cloth. 1t is amusing to Ameri-
cans here to read the startling news % in
the American papers of political revolu-
tions, wars and rumors Of wars" in and
throughout the country. Be at oLce unde-
ceived, I say to the American people; Mex
ico is stronger to-day for peace and order
than ever. 1t is estimated that the State
and Federal forces of the Republic amount
to 60, 900 well armed and well drilled SOL
diers. Although on the Rio Grande, where
n dual negligence may and no doubt does ex-
Ist, troubles frequently arise, yet in the in
terror Mexico is occupied with the preser-
vation of peace, with the formation of good
government and the maintenance of free
dom in thought and action. With good
weather, we may expect the present able
statesmen to bring the Mexican ship of state
safely to anchor. They certainly have the
good wishes of all lovers Of liberty and
good government. If negroes should be
burned anywhere in Texas or retributive
justice seek vengeance at the stake and
faggot, no one should charge the State in
which it was committed with barbarism !;
and hereafter when through some local diff
culties fight takes place in some small and
obscure town in Mexico, do not publish to
the world that Mexico is IN state of revo-
luton and anarchy prevails throug ghout the
Republic" - -Tf.--.. Ify..b f-s0.- u

and our correspondent should know that
there must be an organized effort of specu-
lators, here and in the East, to embroil the
two countries. They would annex border
Mexican State, into which the whole cof-
fee crop had been removed, especially when
the duty may be increased by the specula-
tors lobby in Washington ten or twenty
per cent. Sonora, annexed, would become
speedily an American State, and two Fed
eral Senators would be also annexed. Most
people think we have Senators enough, ,un-
less the quality'be improved, and American
citizens enough, unless government, based
on the ballot-box, be desirable only to the
extent that it is farce or a crime. Hap
PLY, however, the internal condition of
Mexico gives no plausible pretext for Fed
eral Intervention, and if the two govern
ments do not repress disorders along the
common frontier, thers is no remedy in
making another frontier even more remote
from the center of that power to which we
must look for security or relief.

WHO PUT THE SAVIOR TO DEATH ,

A most intelligent Hebrew has been crit
icizing the assertions of Moody and Sankey.
He says that Christianity has always pro-
claimed itself to be teacher of brotherly
love and peace; but do not such utterances
as these of Moody rather prove it to be
religion of obstinacy and hatred toward the
Jews2 Those revivalists have declared the
''blood of Jesus to be on this people, and
also, because of this, they are scattered as a
punishment and are as q byw ord among
the nations of the earth. +" Such were the
sentiments Mr.. Moody expressed. But let
me take him back little over 1900 years
to the foot OF that very crucitixiOn of Jesus
af Nazareth, and see if He was not crucitied
between two thieves, showing it to have
been the Roman manner of execution, and
that IL must have been sanctioned by the
authorities, and, moreover it was the Ro.'
man soldiers whose spears subsequently,
penetrated His body refer you to Chris
tianity's own historical account of the event
ADD, therefore, you cannot plead ignorance.
There is nothing in history to prove that
one stone was thrown by jew,
though stoning was then their mode Of
furnishing crime, and they could easily have
stoned him had they so willed. Either all
history is false or this doctrine of Moody
must be, which he persists in uttering.
Does It's representation show brotherly love
or tend toward peace3 Does It not rather
spread firebrands and arouse latent preju-
iicesG Believe me, Mr.. Moody, the scatter
ing Of this holy people has been for high
er and nobler purpose than their enemies
proclaim, and it has yet to be shown that
the word "Jew," the meaning of which, as
understood by the Jews, is one who be-
lieves in Gsd rs the sole creator and Sa-
vior of man, is not held in His eye as an
| honor rather than as reproach, as our OPP
ponents declare. The Bible prophecies
have not all been fulfilled; ''the lion has
not yet lain down with the lamb There
is yet to be future in religious history
when brotherly love and peace will be
taught and practiced amoag the nations
4 and their religious prejudices viii die out
! and Justice will be done the Jew as well as
The Gentle. The assertion made by you
that over q thousand Jews had met in
France recently for the purpose of rejoicing
over the crucifxion of Christ seems to me
to be hardly necessary to deny. as it must
be so palpably evident, had such an Assem-
blage met for such purpose, Il would have
been known to the Atlantic as Wei as &c
the English journalists You, Aessrs-
Moody and sAnkey, should remember yoV

IT is stated by a prominent New York
politician that Mr.. Belmont, and other New
Workers, have gone to Washington to use
their influence in favor Of such a financial
policy as will place the party on platform
before the country that cannot possibly be
mislntsrpreted or misunderstood. These
gentlemen are firmly persuaded that any
policy short Of this will be fatal TO the
prospects of the party in the New England
and Middle States They are prepared to
show that New York especially cannot be
counted upon except for hard money.
Whatever may be the culmination, of the
pending endeavors to agree to policy of
some kind, the New York leaders are de-
termined that the committee having this
matter in charge shall not be ignorant of
the state of public feeling there, and hence
this errand of some of their strongest
men to the seat of government. 1t was sug-
gested that the proceeding might be inter-
preted as ssvoring of outside dictation, but
the answer to that was that, as 1t is always
to New York that the party comes when
money is wanted to carry on presidential
campaign, New York has peculiarly di-
rect interest in the matter which cannot be
set aside. The Western men, they say, may
wreck the ship by their iDflltion theories if
they choose, but If they lave any design of
the kind it is thought best to know it before
hand, not only that the responsibility may
be placed where 1t belongs, but all who do
not care to ship for the voyage" may have
an opportunity to go ashore. There is no
difference of sentiment on these points be-
tween Tammany Hall and the Manhattan
Club, wide apart as they may be in some
other things of less importance.

The good people in the vicinity Of Fifth
and Walnut, Louisville, KY, are greatly ex-
ercised at the undignified and even unruly
behavior of an envoy extraordinary OF hls
Satanic Majesty, and the visits at an un-
usual hour of musical sylph, both of whom
have been holding high carnival at certain
house near the Southeast corner, formerly
occupied by DIR. TT. The following
curious and unaccountable facts are vouched
for by ladies and gentlemen OF the highest
respectability, and whatever may be the
opinion of the general public ia regard TO
the matter, or our own skepticism about the
lawless agency of the wicked spirits OF the
invisible world, still we cannot reject the
testimony of these parties as palpably ab-
surd, from the fact that they are people OF
more than ordinary intelligence, and not the
least discrepancy in their accounts Of what
has trauspired in the past few weeks. II
