capt. John :. Wise, of Virginia. to whom
Cen Malone has recently addressed an c&-
',cdirIly litter letter, is a man Of very
attractive appearance and rare versatility of
talent. He is not over i2 wears old. lie is
probably about five feet nine IN height. well
rroportiored, and weighs doubtless 10
pounds. He is clean shaven. his hair Is
brown, and his eyes o dull blue. In dress
h. Is neat, and in manner unassuming and
cordial. Capt. Wise Is counted in Virginia
as perhaps the most effective political
speaker within its borders. His spcr"hc,

abound with the most taking anecdotes. told
IN an inimtab.e way. But, besides being a
- I'd speaker, Capt. Wise Is also great
lawyer. Judge Irump. for many year, the
