A COLUMBUS, O., correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press describes President HAYES
as very cheerful man, with q full sandy
beard, slightly touched with silver streaks;
full face, ruddy and glowing with health;
no Crows feet, no burrows, o well shaped
mouth, good teeth; two large, open, blue eyes
of kindly expression; a smile on his lips;
q high, broad, clear forehead q voice,
deep, strong and sonorous; large, shape'y
limbs full breast, quick but not
nervous of movement moderately quick
but not rapid of Speech a good listener, calm,
cool, dispassionate, anything but radical;
never cross, short, or sharp; always atfAble,
kind and candid, with no secrets to whisper,
no plots to promote, no tricks to explain; open
as the day, firm as rock, pure as a woman,
with no bad habits, whether of tobacco,
whiskey, or anything else; pure aud plain Of
speech, popular among all classes, without
affectation, mock dignity, or the least sus-
picion Of demagoguery; wearing the same face
for all, speaking the same language to all /,
bearing himself with dignity and modest re-
serve; regular in his hours, happy In his
family relations as man can be, strong in the
affections OF the people; such Is General HAYES,
the President-elect OF the United States. No
man was ever so fortunate. He has not q
single personal enemy In Ohio, fact true
perhaps Of no other prominent politician in
Ohio. In all his long public career as Con-
gresham, General In the army, Governor
three times, there is nothing to explain, and
no charge has ever been made against him Of
any kind whatsosver. 1t is doubtful If any
man living is less open TO criticism or reproach.
Even the DemocratIc fnemhers of thu nhIn
General Assembly, at the end of this pro-
tracted campaign, speak well Of him. They
have known him familiarly from boyhood,
know the minutest particulars of his private
and public history, and join with one accord
In awarding him the compliment OF their
unanimous endorsement and approval.

HIGH CARNIVAL AND WANT.

They hav carnivals In the North and
South-carnivals of gorgeous display, whose
dazzling ornamcntation aud superb flaery
cost thousands and thousands of dollars,
which are wasted and pass to naught.
In the South they have public carni-
walls, In the North, social carnivals.
We are row In the hight of the
season of these costly demonstrations.
Cavalcades of painted mountebanks file
through the streets of New Orleans
and Memphis; Infamous trsvestles on
prominent public characters roll along in
gorgeous array; the magnificent parapher.
MALTA Of Rex and Momus, gilded and plumed
and painted with many hues, pass on
through the crowded thoroug ghfares; vain
and silly coxcombs. eager to play the. mock
king or duke for day, mount their finely
caparisoned and prancing steeds aud grin
and bow to the lusty cheers Of over.gro wn
boys and the waving handkerchieis of
giddy women.
In the North the social cirnivals hold
sway where pampered wealth, uudsr a
careful course Of training, has developed an
army Of lofty snobism, whose highest
authority scarcely admits the existence of
q human being who Ia not snob. At.
tached to this system Of social ex
travagance are the brilliant balls,
at which female beauty appears
decked and robed In the costliest
gems of earth. AT one of these balls, re-
Gently given, lady wore a dress which
cost $23. 900, and another necklace which
cost SIC, 900, and another pair of dancing
shoes which cost $780, And 1t was char
ity ball, too and the receipts, after paying
the expenses, amounted to S715-aud
they called 1t a success.
Through the din and buzz and sound OF
trumpet and huzzas, and the bewitching
music and merry making of these costly
carnivals, comes the plainhve cry of want
pleading, as only starvation can plead, for
help. for salvation from a terrible physical
death. Yes, 1t is the season of the Carni-
val; and also the season of homeless pov.
erty, of starving men and women. Hun.
cry creatures are now standing on the Dor.
derland Of crime, with starvation staring
them In the face. Crouchiug In the vile
and loathsome corners Of grim by. ways are
young women and hungry men longing
for and praying for bread, or the means of
earningit. The great cities are full of woe
and suffering to-day In the very presence of
the general tom.foolery of carnival pro-
cessions and hitalutin display of suobl,m,
and the patrons Of snobs. Every year
enough money is expended on carnival
folly to amuse the easily.tickled fools as
would be ample to administer to the crying
wants Of poverty all over the land. Times
are hard now. desperately hard, and the
spirit Of charity, instead of needless waste,
should take possession ofthe hearts of men.
There is silver lining gliding this cloud,
and, when the future shall have brought
to us the fruits Of its prophecy, we will be
free to join in merry. making and jubilees.
Until then we must work to dam up the
current of suffering which is coursing
through the land.
