Pen Picture OF General Hayes.

To the Editor of the Press-Sir: A strong,
well-built man of Modesto and form, good look
ing, healthy, hearty ah cheerful: a full sandy
beard, slightly touched With silver streaks, a full
face, ruddy and glowing with health; no crows
feet, no burrows, a wellhaped mouth, good teeth;
large, open, blue eyesof kindly-expression a
smile on his lips; a higl broad, clear forehead; a
voice deep. strong andsonorous; large, shapely
limbs; a full breast, qick. but not nervous of
movement; moderately uick, but not rapid, of
speech; a good listener; calm, cool, dispassionate,
anything but radical; nver cross, short or sharp,
always atfa5le, kind ald candid, with no
secrets to whisper, no plos to promote, no tricks
to explain; open as the da, firm as a rock, pure
as a woman, with no bad hbits, whether of tobac-
CO, whisky or anythingslse; pure and plain of
speech, popular among al classes, without afec-
t%ation, mock dignity. o the least supicion of
demagoguery; wearing thesame face for all, speak
ing the same language o all, bearing himself
with dignity and modest reserve; regular in his
hours, happy in his fanny relations as man can
be, strong IN the affections of the people-such is
General Hayes, Presidelt elect of the United
States. No man was eve SO fortunate. He has
not a single personal enemy in Ohio, a fact true
perhaps of no other promnent politician IN Ohio.
In all his long public career as Congressman,
general in the army, Govtrnor three times, there
is nothing mysterious to explain, and no charge
has ever been made against him of any kind
whatsoever. 1t is doubtful if any man living is
less open to criticism or rcproach. Even the
Democratic members ofthe Ohio General Assem-
bly,, at the end of this pIotracted campaign, speak
well of him. They have known him Familiarity
from b~oyhood, know the minutest particulars OF
his private and public history, and join with
one accord in awarding him the compliment oil
their unanimous Endorsement and approval.

EvART's PHTsIQUE.-His face is shaver. His
hair is soanty and iron-gray. His ears arc small
and look as If they had been closely trimmed.
His eyes are gray and faded. They have a Nactery
appearance while be Is speaking, but every other
part OF the body Is 50 dry that one expects him
10 crumble up when his great spirit goes out Of
him, and blow away NJ = breath. HIS mouth is
small. has lips thin and colOrless; bis teeth perfect
IN form and color. His nose and forehead are
the marked features OF his personals | said be-
fore, nose, forehead and f5refnger. 1t isn't a
WebsuerIan forehead-broad and domc-like-but
IL IL bulging-like, and hangs over his eyes like a
bay-window in q secOnd-stOry Of a house. His
skin Is 50 pure and dry that you can see the cur
rents Of pale blood that run over the skull. The
nose is big enough 10 carry all the brains an
ordinary man would need. And nav be Evart's
surplus IS situated there. Ii isn't an ''inconse-
quent vestibule, as some one called Morton's,
bat q peak, majestic and rises from the landscape
OF his face TO give it dignity and consequence.
1t Is not pudgy or grizzly, like some large noses,
but is OF arissOcratic material and artistic cary
ing. The slopes and curves are ali according to
the lines Of art-Grecian art. Ii is a thing Of
beauty magnihed. ETarts's legs are pipestems,
and his arms are willow branches. His chest
Is less in diameter than his head; and the breadth
OF his shoulders is only about as great as the
distance from the tip Of his nose 10 the base of
his cerebellum. He has no bowels, and only
stomach machinery enough to keep the brain
supplied with food.-CO Correspondent Of Chicago

for any lack Of personal bravery on the part of the
