''MR. HowELLs,' says London Truth,
sis rather a yOung-lOOking man, Of mid
die height, with a decidedly American
type Of countenance. He wears his hair,
which is parted in the centre, cropped
short, and brushed over his forehead q Ia
young Augustus. His face is clean
shaven, with the exception of short
gray mOustache, and altogether his aspect
is not that of a student. Yet his whole
life is devoted to his books and his pen.

else, being no sportsman, shrinking from
society, and leading a very quiet, domes-
ticated life. He is, nevertheless, an in
teresting and humorous companion, and
can talk well on any subject"
