A Philosophers Sou-in-i.aw.
Col. Nicolas Smith, the son in law o:
Horace Greeley, has been in Washington
for several weeks. He is candidate for
diplomatic honors abroad. He tried bard
to secure the mission to Italy. He is a
man who cultivates peculiar and striking
appearance. He wears his hair very long
1t is cOmbed back from his narrow, high
forehead and carefully curled at the ends.
His eyes are dreamy blue. His
face is as sharp and shaven as
Edwin Booths. Col. Saith loves Il roll
ing frock coat, with the lower button only
fastened, leaving on exhibition that wide
eXpanse of linen SO dear to the sight Of a
rural swell. He also wears a huge white
tie. He has very long and shapely hands
These he uses in endless gesticulation. At
the hotel where he lives ne attracts much
attention by his theatrical manners. He
enters the dining room with his long chin
resting upon his heavng chest. Drag sing
one foot after another, he glides To a seat
and tnen he piunges into perfect chasm
of deep thought, resting his head, weary
with mighty thoughts, upon his lily right
hand. After pose of this kind, until
every one is wondering whether it is a
casa of plain or aggravated collie, Col.
Smith comes out of his poetic dream and
orders soup.
