the Editor Of the Pail Mali GnRette
Looks Like Giuiteau.

IN. \. TlmcB.1
A concluding word as to the man himself,
the editor of the Pail Nall Gosettt. had
had many letters from him, had long been
in friendly Communication with him through
mutual acquaintances, but had never seen
him until, amid the acclamations of the great
throng, he rose to speak from stand No.
Saturday afternoon. He was in such state
of excitement that 1t would be unfair to Judge
him from the exhibition were he merely an
ordinary writer or speaker. But as the vital
force of the great meeting, as the evangel of
this new crusade, there could be no filter
moment to measure him. In this hour
of his triumph-and a wonderful triumph
it must have seemed TO him, as
from his stand on the high seat of the
drag he surveyed the vast black swarm in
the park-the inner nature of the man, the
curious hidden forces which had worked
this strange result, we're revealed in his
face. It was as white as a sheet. and bore
look of puzzled pain. The forehead. one
mass of vertical lines, was square and not
large the lips were thin, and the upper
was lifted in curl which was half of agony,
half of ecstasy. There are two pictured
faces, If may couple them without otfense,
which may be familiar to you. One is that
of Christ in Munkacsy's great picture of
"Christ before plate the idealizsd face
OF a man who veritably knew not where to
lay his head, who was consumed with great
thoughts, great wraths, great visions, and
who, harshly confronted with the crisis h.
had evoked, seemed unable TO get his mind
down TO the comprehension ofits finite limits
The other face is that of Guiteau, with the
same expression, minus the majesty of ex
allied purpose. There was strange com
minglipg of, the tive in Mr.. Stead's face
as he stood painting for breath before the
great cheering multitude--of fools and
| fauatics.''

The Comte smiled--an evil smile.

Mr.. Hsrland overheard this insult, TO
which De Latourelle had given all the en-

owen Meredith, Robert Bulwer, son of the

to Washington with his uncle, Sir Henry, as
an attache of legation. He was then cal
low youth indeed, and left something of a
bad social odor behind him. His subseq uent
success "a poet was considerably furnished
by his failure to credit the poetical romance
of"Lucills, San adaptation in verse, !" to its
French authorship, but tacitly claiming origi.

Obvious faults, distinctly characterized the
elder Bulwers.

from the hearsc she paused to look
down into the last resting place OF her

veloping the life-like portrait of her

turned with the bravery Of heroism TO
