Mark Twain as He Is To-Day.

once q week
Mark Twainis a close knit. profuse-haired
man of quiet manner, with shaggy. pro-
truding eyebrows and dropping reddish
mOustache tinged with gray. He speaks
slowly and measuredly, sometimes linger-
ing over a word and then acceleratng the
speed of the next few so as to make up for
the delay. He wakes eloquent on the sub
iect of international copyright. and has a
habit when talking of staring fixedly at
some imaginary object, as if he had got
hold of an idea, and was determined to keep
in sight of it. He writes youthful. legible
hand, but pigeon-hOles a story for some
years after writing it. and is not chary of
his autograph when properly asked for.
He lives next door to Harriet Beecher
Stowe; takes long walk daily; smokes q
cOrncOb pipe; is seldom seen in New York,
and can drive a bargain He has more offers
to lecture than any other man in America,
and an accomplished wife who is utterly at
a loss to see any fun in his books. He Is
rising five and fifty, doesn't look it, wears
eyeglasses, and can get laugh out of a
grindstone or a civil engineer.
