How does Mr.. Bennett look?
met him at the Union Club few hours
alter his arrival. never saw him look so
wellor 80 handsome. Imagine before you
atall, slim man, about Is. His face is
ford, and hair prematurely white. Mr..
Benefits eyes are very singular. He has
what a horseman calls "watch.eyes." That
is, the iris Of the eye is light gray, while
the pupil or central dot is white. Walker,
the filibuster leader, had the same restless
"watch-eyes." Mr.. Benefits white hair
is like that worn by Stokes, who killed
Jim Fisk; Frank Lord, the son OF the late
Mr.. Hicks-Lord ;and young George Law.
1t Is caused by drinking champaign in
place of water. Champaign makes gray
hair, while too much food produces govt.
Bennett is drinker, and not an eater, II
he bad s. to buy meal with, he would
spend 8 IS for champaign and fifteen
cents Tor a sandwich. Bennett is really
one Of the loudest liveCs in the country.
Besides the big house up on Washington
Heights left by his father, he has big
double house on Fifth avenue, q house in
London, a shooting box" in Lancashire,
and now $1,000 villa at Newport. All
these things cannot cost him less than
100000 per annum. He spends his money
like a king, and is really admired in New
York.
Mr., Bennett, though man OF talent,
has really very little TO do with the Herald.
His business is simply to call about four
times q Week and 'shake the BOYS up"
While abroad he does his "shaking.up"
by telegraph. One Of Mr.. Benefits PEI
CuliGrities isthis 'shakiug-up" mania. One
night, after champaign dinner, he few
down to the Office, 'shook up" Connery,
the mnaging editor, and then wrote a
loose, slashing editorial, putting the retail
price Of the Herald down TO three cents.
He not only shakes up" his newspaper,
but he Shakes up his friends. His
trouble with the Mays was caused BY his
appearing at the May residence at twelve
o'clock at night, "shaking.up" the door
bell, cleaning of the hat.rack, firing shot
or two into the mirror, and then giving
Miss May pocket-pistol to defend herself
with. Religiously Mr.. Bennett ought TO
be Shaker, though in fact he is a Cath

Mr.. A. II. STEPuESs made long speech
to the Georgia Legislature day before yes
terday, which was devoted largely to the
financial question. In the eyes Of the
venerable Georgian, the country seems in
desperate condition, and oil on account
Of the demonstration OF silver, which was
the sole cause Of the crash Of 1878. The
remedy is in the unlimited coinage OF that
metal, and in paper currency based on
that and gold. Mr.. Stephens is the happy
possessor Of the secret OF the exact amount
Of currency needed in this country. 1t is
5000, 600 900 to cent, or an average OF
SIS to every man, woman and child. Why
we need just that much he does not con.
descend to tell US, but he is sure that we
do. Mr. Stephens also devoted consider
able attention to taxation. He feels sorely
the trouble OF the farmer, who cannot
make medicine" from his corn without
being taxed by the Federal Government,
and who cannot smoke untaxed tobacco.
The report does not indicate, however,
that he had any substitute for taxation to
suggest as a means of raising revenue to
pay the expenses Of the Government, or
any subjects OF taxation more just and
reasonable than whisky and tobacco.
