TwEED'S PoRTRAITs--A STRIKING CONTRAST.
we have before US a photograph of John sccor,
takon at Vigo on September 2S 1876. and also OF
William NJ Tweed, taken some six years ago. when
the present fugitive from justice at tho height OF
his political and social powcr--wc say, also, social,
because, although the respectable and exclusive
elements Of New York society always cschewed him,
he then already struggling into social considcra-
on among tho better classes by tho sheer force
OF hts tremendous political power, which made HIM
almost the dictator Of New York The contrast be-
tween the two phoogrs phs is indeed striking We all
know that man who is prosperous free from care
ana getting up In the world has an ease,
freedom an independence about his look
which at once botokcns his condition. The same man.
II depressed aud crushed by the cruel facs, looks
another being The features the same, but the
head, which was carried so high. seems to set
lmpiyand deectedly upon his shoulders; the elastic,
quick gait has become halting and stumbling; the
erect, compact figure seems to DO weak and almost

Such seems to have been also the fato Of William n.
Tweed, our whilom Mogul OF New York politics.
In the one picture see his cheeks fat and round,
We know that they rubicund. too. though the
photograph conceals their rosy color. These fat

heavy stout built man, but they sunken and there
is hardening and sttfening Of the facial muscles
which has bloted out the lines OF case and jolty and
has substituted the hard sty drawn lines OF anxiety
care, sleeplessness and mental suffering. Nothing
could be striking in the Two photographs than
this change, unless IL be the wonderfully different ex-
Tweed In old great days this change is p0riectly
appalling; It rs almost pitlable Twecd's eyes, in his

In the oyes though he felt that he had been bounded
down like wild beast and would like TO turn upon
eyes and the crowsiect much heavier than they
were six years ago Then they were only such as any
man OF his age would naturally show. while in tho
photograph OF the vgo prisoner they deeply drawn

suffering never to DC eliaced Inc hen head - evidently

at the back and on the sides There are deep cruel
lines in this forehead, lines which toll sad story
ono looks at the other photograph OF six years
ago The whole face has wonderfully fallen away-lt
only the spectre OF what IL was on the other
picture
There Is something inexpressbly pitiabc, touching,

and npped and beaten out Of its iormer shape and
substance by the remorselcss gatherings OF retrbuton

dress we but little difference. The old white
silk cravat, with It's graceful little Knot. which
used to Rive tho sBoss wedding day appearance has
disappeared and given place TO great, loose ncckte,
with great flowing knot tapping over both sides OF

graph shows him IN a sack coat, unbuttoned and
buttoned rather high. The cut OF these garments
is somewhat lacking in elegance aud they look some
