A Pen Portrait Of M. Tilden.

TO-DAY saw Samuel J. T.ldeu on Wall
Street can. therefore, give you an un-
qualified description 81 what he looks like.
| vas standing oa The corner Of the street
opposite the sub Treasury. When saw the
old man coming down from Broadway and
sad to a friend Of mine Hold on. and
will show ,uu the greatest living curiosity"
While We weTe gathering ourselves up 20
a. to lose no feature of this What Is 1t, ~
We saw other people u no had also espled
him getting around in a favorable light to
take the old man IN While We all had our
mental glasses turned on hun, it pleased
some Ioafer 10 stop Iilden and communicate
with him. probably IN order TO tell the tale
To hi, children. We therefore observed that
Mr. Il!den @aS remarkably well dressed.
He had on a dark brown Spring oveTcoat,
high silk hat, cloth clothes, and neat pol
ished shoes. lie walked. as invariably, with
his toe. turned inward The loafer aforesaid
had hardly spoken to Tllden when that small
and slight-buili worthy exercised the ruling
passion of sticking up his mouth in the loaf
er's ear and telling him. with great ap-
pearance Of conhdentiality. something. The
loafer did not seem to be surprised or ln-
s,ructed.
Tilden had a cheerful countenance The
tint OF his skin was clearly steel-blue, as If
his stomach was working right His left
eyelid was dropped on his cheek, as il that
eve was out, but il did not appear to give
him the least trouble. 1t looked a. if he
was in the habit Of shutting one eye in order
to get the best attainabe sight with the 9TH
er one. In left arm appeared to be sewed
up in the sleeve Of his Spring overcoat, be-
cause we could see no hand nor any appear
ance of demonstration on that side. The
coat sleeve was knot;ed up, too. as if it was
not expected to open for any arm. The old
mans eountenance, while talking to loafer,
was bright, but mysterious. He is expected
TO be in the mood for talk, and did all the
talking. When he shook the loafer and
came down Wall street, and turned up Mas
sau, there were perhaps one hundred per-
sons taking him in. His toes were turned
inward, and this gave him something of the
stumbling gait which exaggerating people
ascribe to paralysis. can say that, except
ing he was quite an old man, nothing what
ever modified his appearance Of idiosyn-
cratic good health and good self-esteem. He
looked as If he could stand Presidential
campaign iirst-rate.

Is MARS INHABITED ? H. There is no
other planet of the solar system which offers
so close an analogy TO the earth as Mars
The telescope reveals 10 US the figures Of
broad tracts Of land and expanses Of sea
upon its surface. The durations of his day
and night almost coincide with our own.
His exterior experiences the alternating
changes of the seasons. His nights are IL
lumined by two satellites, which present all
the phenomena of our own moon, and more
frequently, owing to their greater velocity.
An atmosphere probably surrounds this
planet in fact, the existence of air is indis-
pensable to his other features Hence the
inference that Mars is a habitable globe ap-
pears very obvious and fair conclusion, and
il would be inconsistent to imagine that this
planet, provided, apparently, with all the
requisite natural facilities to render life a
necessary and desiiable feature of his sur
face, is a sphere of desoiation, mass of in
ert matter, which, though conforming to the
laws Of gravitation, is otherwise serving no
useful end as the abode and sustenance OF
animal creatures. 1t is far more in accord
ance with analogy and rational speculation
to conclude that Mars is the centre Of life
and activity, and that his surface is teeming
with living beings.
