St. Paul daily globe., 1885-03-15

the same street, and have both retired from
the exacting cares of modern daily news
paper life; a little older, less ambitious, more
conservative, and better satisfied with those
quiet pursuits incidental to declining years,
and yet neither one of us Is old or in any
degree superan nuated.
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS.
Mr. Goodrich Is man of ordinary size,
ana In early life was very precise and very
particular in his dress and in his personal
appearance. He was cool, cautious, calculat-
ing, reticent and undemonstrative. AS a
writer he was caustic and finished,
and in some of his articles on Gov.
German and others, he initiated very cleverly
the incisive characteristics of 'Junius," his
particular forte being in this special line OF
writing. He is great lover of the fine arts
and the beautiful, and delights in elegant
architectural designs or buildings; is culti-
vated in his tastes and If he had 81 ,O0O.-
700, would spend it in adornments, paint
lngs, and in erecting an elegant home with
all its comforts. He has broad compre-
hension OF business, but seems to have lost
his grip in effecting results. He is polite,
pleasant, courteous, affable-says but little,
thinks good deal.
Mr.. Pusey was born in Pennsylvania, OF
English descent, in 1925; one of his rela-

PERSONAL.
Mr.. Pusey is rather un der the medium size
as man than over; we'll filled out carrying
a round, well-developed head, smiling face,
with gold spectaclesand has pleasing, cour-
teous manner. He is gentleman of culture
and education, and has written many
able articles for the press, princi-
pally against slavery and ignorance,
and in favor of art and music.
his life has been so pure and so uniform
that find nothing startling or exciting in it,
and yet as whole it makes up mellowed,
completed manhood, worthy of imitation by
those who may come after him.

and it was principally through his influence
that the old opera house was built, as well as
the street cars. He was at one time part
owner of the old Pioneer; had hand in the
building of the new court house; then en-
gagged in mining enterprises, and of late

his ups and downs as many other old settlers

PERSONAL.
Capt. Carver is good-sized man very
quiet; moderate in his movements, and now
a great deal more careful in business matters
than formerly. He has a peculiar expression
of the face which gives him an individuality
so that Carver would be Carver in any part of
the world. He has seen st. Paul grow from
a mere nothing to what /: is to-day, and DUR
ing that growth has been part of it.
