Disraeli in 1885, as he appeared IN Lazy
Ble%ssiIigton's drawing-room: -.
ale has one of the most remarkable faces l
ever saw. He is lividly pale, and but for the
energy of bis action aid the strength OF his
lungs one would imagine him a victim to
consumption. His eye is as black as Erebus,
and has The most hooking, lying-in-wait ex-
preston conceivable. His mouth is alive
with kind of working and impatient nervous
ness, and when he bursts forth, as he does
constantly, it assumes a curl OF triumphant
scorn that would be worthy OF a Mephistoph-
eles. His hair IS as extraordinary as his
waist-coats. A thick, heavy mass of jet black
ringiets tails over his left cheek almostt to his
collarless stock, while on the left temple it is
parted and put away with the smooth care
Iessness of a girls, and smiles most unc-
tiously.

ian of the times, but not the waiStcoat-a
mary. lOus vest, in truth, cleaning in the
wax-lights with its splendid embroidery of
gorgeous gold lowers. Add to these, patent
leather pumps, a white stick with a black
cord and tassel, and a mysterious complica-
ton of gold chain in the region of his neck
and pockets-and you have a faithful picture
of Disraeli the younger, the author of "Viv-
ian Grey"
In 1860, when Disraeli was IS, his appear
ance was about the same as at the time of his
death, with The possible exception that he
was more feeble at the last.
'His external appearance" says Smiles, sis
very characteristic. A face of ashy paleness,
dark eyes, curling hair, a STOPPING gait, an
absorbed look, a shuffling walk-these are his
external marks; and once seen, you will not
fail to remember Disraeli. There is some
thing unusual, indeed, quite foreign in his
appearances; you could not by any possibility
mistake HIM for a Saxon. notwithstanding
his position, he is an extremely isolated be-
ing. He makes no intimates, has few person.
al friends; he seems to be lonely and self lsO-
lated, feeding upon his own thoughts"
In 1871, ten years ago, Justin Mccarthy
thus describes him:
"A tall man, with stopped and rounded
shoulders, a peculiarly-siIaped head, fast de-

remains still black as ever; a complexion of
dull brick-dust; a face puckered up like an
