A Pen Portrait of Mr.. Tilden.

'Gatn' IN the CINCINNATI Enquirer.
To-day saw Samuel j. Tilden on Wall-st.
1 can, therefore, give you an unqualified de-
scription of what he looks like. I was stand
ing on The corner Of the street opposite the Sub
Treasury, when 1 saw the old man coming
down from Broadway, and said to a friend of
mine: "Hold on, and will show you the great
est living curiosity"
While we were gathering ourselves up so as
to lose no feature of this ".What is it," we saw
other people who had also espied him getting
around in a favorable light to take the old man
in. While we all had our mental glasses turned
ON him, it pleased some loafer to stop Tilden'
and communicate with him, probably in order
to tell the tale to his children. We therefore
observed that Mr.. Tilden was remarkably well
dressed. He had on a dark brown Spring over
coat, high silk hat, cloth clothes, and neat
polished shoes. He walked, as invariably, with
his toes turned inward. The loafer aforesaid
had hardly spoken to Tilden when that small
and slight-built worthy exercised the ruling
passion of sticking up his mouth in the loafer's
ear and telling him, with a great appearance
of confdentiality, something. The loafer did
not seem TO be surprised or instructed.
Tilden had a cheerful countenance. The tint
of his skin was clearly steel-blue as if his stom-
ach was working right. His left eyelid was
