Tho son Of tho Duke Of Argyll. who accom-
panies him. and who is well known in society
here having resided for three years in this
city acquiring knowledge Of business. and
him-Lord Walter Campbell-hears a marked
resemblance TO his father. rs. indeed. does the
MARQUIS Of Lorne; but the bright orange, &c;
Duke's forehead like Scottish plume,
and his high cheek bones Of the, Highland
man. are in them soitened down by the less
nngry hair and and fairer' genlleT character Of
sutherland In appearance the Mac Calium
More IS intensely scotch. and looks 10 the life
from tho land Of brown heath and shaggy wood.
His small but 1.-the figure ia firmly knit the
head erect and thrown back, and his arms when
folded across his breast. with game cock pug
nacious air, The forehead ia very fine. and the
look from tho oyo straight. bold, and truthful.
A speaker he is voluble and vigorous. but
rather monotonous, and his tongue has too
to make pleasant music to the ear. Still his
style clear and polished, and his strong views
| and earnest delivery Of them, always command
attention. H. had not the advantage Of a Uni
| versiy education. and Of trying his intellectual
youth Of England. which might have rubbed off
much Of the ruggedncss Of his character He
WIS brought up entirely under private tuition
ana educated not as q Young man. but as

not possess. and has made him personally
unpopular win those who do not thoroughly
understand, his sterling worth and his many
ino qualities. which must and do command
respect and admiration IN this country rs in
his own. He has ever shown sympathy with
his countrymen. and his heart has always
warmed TO the tartan. as dii that OF his ancestor

he has ever been the manly. poken friend
OF this country, and not less in her darkest hour
when the rebellion looked lis brightest than
now when 1t has yon and fXed It's unity. did he
| never despair oi the republic. but 10y speech and
act was unhinchingly true In his faith in her
! future. The Duke Is not only an abba speaker
