the Worldly Wise POlonius.
One hundred years ago the leading
men Of the United States read in their
Bibles that the body is more than raj
mont, but they dressed according to the
advice of worldly-wise Polonius:
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy
For the apparel Oft proclaims the man.
When Governor Bowdoin, q tall, dig.
nified man, reviewed the troops as
sembled at Cambridge in 1855, he was
dressed In a gray wig, cooked hat, q
white broadcloth coat and waistcoat, red
small-clothes and black silk stockings.
John Hancock, thin in person, six feet
In stature, was very fond Of an orna-
mental dress, He wore a wig when
abroad and a cap when at home. A gen
tleman who visited Hancock one day at
moo in June, 1882, describes him as
dressed in a red velvet cap lined with
fine white linen, which was turned up
two or three inches oHer the lower edge
OF the velvet. He also wore O blue
damask gown lined with silk; q white
stock, b white satin-embroidered waist
coat. black satin small-clothes, white
silk stockings and red morocco slippers.
Washington, at his reception in Phils-
delphia, was dressed in black velvet; his
hair was powdered and gathered behind
in a large silk bag. His hands were en-
cased in yellow gloves; he held a cooked
hat with q coekade ON it, and its edges
adorned with q black feather. He wore
knee and shoe buckles, and at his left
hip appeared a long sword in a polished
white leather scabbard, with q polished
steel hilt. Chief Justice Dana, of Massa-
chusetts, used to wear in. winter a white
corduroy s~urtout, lined with fur, and
held his hands in a large muG. Tho
judges of the Supreme Court OF Massa-
chusetts wore, till 1893, robes OF scarlet,
faced with black velvet in winter, and
black silk gowns In summer. At the be-
ginning OF this century powder for the
hair became questionable. tying up
the hair was abandoned, colored gar
ments went out Of use, buckles disap-
neared and knee-breeches gave place to

A Lone Ten-Doliar Note That Proved .

Speaking of General ForrestRahe cav
airy hero of the war, who killed more
men with his saber han any other one
soldier On either side, the Florida Times
Union says that he returned to Memphis
after the surrender with his wife and
with only a ten-dollar bill in his pocket.
Mrs. Forrest was a lady of the most
quiet, amiable Christian virtues, and the
only person, by the way, who had any
control OF the wizard Of the saddle"
while in a passion. One touch of her
gentle hand, one soft, tender word,
would calm his most tempestuous moods
In a moment.
Sitting alone together the night of
their return TO Memphis, General For

church member and have always OPP
posed cards. But this ten dollars Is all

In vain the good woman protested. IL
was o sin in the sight OF God, she said,
and sin could not finally prosper. he
went, found the patty he wanted and
began the game. The cards ran his way
from the first and his winnings grew SO
large that he set his beaver on the floor
beside him and used It. IA a depository.
About two o'clock In the morning he
lifted his tile, bent his head down and
placed the hat carefully on it, retaining
the money inside. Reaching his home
he emptied his winnings into Mrs. For
rests lap, saying. Mary, count It,"
She found that he had upward of 81, 800
"a sum which gave him a good start in
life after having lost all. Il believe"
said he, relating the incident TO some
friends, that Mary, in spite of her OBJ
jections, really prayed for mo while I
was gone. Atany rate | found her still
sitting up when | got back, and know

the diamond fields of South Africa,
from which 81, 900, 900, 900 worth of dia-

himself did not go to the diggings and
did not profit by them. On the con.
