a %courtly old gentleman Of the old
southern school, with faded blue trow-
sers, neat, small shoes, a silk alpaca
coat and vest, with a rumpled silk
stock, wearing a short wrinkled and
faded overcoat. He walked about the
streets without attracting much at
tention. His appearance is much the
same as of yore, the face and beard
being the same, but he has aged rapid
