HIS PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
Hancock in personal appearance is tall,
we'll formed and very handsome. Ills
height cannot be less than six feet TWO III
ches, and be weighs fully two hundred and
forty pounds. He will make the hnest-
looking President who ever sat IN the
White House except, possibly george
Washington. His form towers above 9th
or men, and he attracts attention by his
mere looks wherever he goes. Ills eyes
are blue and have a benignant ana milo
expression when in repOse but inspiring
when in danger. His manner is dlgnlhed
and knightly and he is courtesy itself. tie
ID always magnetic ami draws men 10 MN
by his kindness and gentle Interest In
their affairs. His sympathies are easily
aroused and he becomes intensely con-
cerned for the sorrows and misfortunes OF
others striving in every way to relleve
them as though their troubles were his
own. Hancock . kindness to his subordi-
mates always won not only their love but
also their confidence, and caused them to
rely on him as friend as well as c,minan-
der. He gave man u good opinion o.
himself, ard made each one feel he was OF
more Importance than he ever before sus-
pected. IL was this which caused him
to have such power over his officers
and men in battle and made them prefer
rather to die than forfeit the good opinion
of their leader.
Gen. Hancock had tive children, Russell
Hancock and Ann Elizabeth Hancock.
The latter died in New York Of typhoid
fever when eighteen years of age. She was
young lady of great promise. Russell
Hancock, the Generals only son, is living
and il planter in Mississippi.
