noses. You can see that its owner has con-
fdence in himself, but you do not find in it
Ihe pugnacious, obstinate independence
which is found in the nose Of ex-President
Cleveland.
Cieveland's nose is too fat for beauty. His
complexion is rough, and his nose has not
the smooth, velvety appearance of that of
Blaine. 1t has, however, great strength,
and it is short Roman in shape. Arthur
had gooG-siZed nose, and the, great big
nose of Abe Lincoln has become historic.
John Tyler had an immense proboscis and
Andrew jackson had one of the biggest and
one of the handsomest among the Presidents.
He is one of the two Presidents who had
their noses pulled while they were here He
was on Potomac boat going dowr the ri >er

rushed in and

and gave it terrible pull. Old Hickory
raised his cane, but before he could get at
the man he had escaped. This man was a
Lieutenant in the navy, who had been dis
graced, and who considered the President
the cause OF his trouble. James X. Polk had
his nose pulled while he was Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and it was expect
ed that he would fight the man who pulled
it. BE claimed. however. that the man had
only attempted to pull his nose, and had not
succeeded, and the matter was dropped.

cause he did not fight, and ne held, 1 am

lea about 1887, first landing in Charleston,
s. C. There the young man heard Of the
great West, and made his way to Texas. He
found a wife in the Lone Star State, but lit
tie in the way Of fortune. and the couple de-
termined to remove TO the Southern
metropolis.
Although Stanley was twice married
neither wife bore him children. Their kind
hearts hungered Tor the touch of baby fin
gers, and at various times the household
adopted little orphans and bestowed as
much love aud care upon them as il OF their
own blood. Strange to say, none OF these
fatheriess ones remained to com :ort the clos
ing years of their benefactor's life.
Joanna. the first adopted child, died after
her marriage to- a local druggist, who has
also passed away. Henry 'Stanley A Airi-

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE D1sPArcH.I

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPATCH.1
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The nose is the
emblem of the soul. 1t is only wad OF
cartilage and flesh, but by it you may read
its owner as though he were an open book,
and its extent and shape give the measure
OF the statesman and the fool. The Greeks
added an inch to the human nose and made
their marble heroes gods.
OF the great men of the past not one in a
score had snub nose or a pug, and of the
mighty men of Washington to-day the
probosces of nine out of ten are enormous.
Where will you find bigger nose than that
of Blaine? 1t dominates his face and 1t has
all the characteristics of the Roman patri-
clan. 1t is the nose of leader, and it is
the nose that Plato says is indicative of
power. 1t is the signpost OF Blaine's per-
sonal magnetism and of his intellectual
force, and if it stood alone In an anatomical
collection you would feel that it was the
nose of great msn. 1t was bigger when
Blaine was boy than it is now, and it gave
Blame at college the nickname of 'Nosey
Blaine"
HARRIsoN'S BOLD FRONT.
All of our Presidents have had big noses,
and President Harrison's nose is no excep-
ton. At first sight it seems to be rather
short, but as you look again YOU see that it
is long and dropping. 1t seems to hug his
face, and there is considerable strength in
the nostrils. 1t is a conservative nose, and
it belongs to the class of self-appreciative

his shoulders droop more than ever, his

Senator German has a classic nose. 1t is
large, straight and Grecian. and it looks
very much like the nose of Senator Gray,
save that it shows more power. Senator
Cockrell's nose is long and thin. It is Il
typical American nose and Cockrell keeps
it we'll down on the grindstone of Senatorial
hard work. 1 seldom get fair. look at it
from the press gallery as he is always bend
ing over his papers, and Cockrell seems to
work from morning till night.
Next to him sits Senator Coke, who has a
magnificent nose, but who seems to do little
else than polish it; and back of him is Sem
ator George, who has a fat, shapeless pro-
boscis, which will not hold spectacles, and
upon the end OF which pair of gold glasses
usually rides Senator Carlisle has what is
called the inquisitive nose. II looks as if it
were cut out by natures chlsel, but left in
the rough. 1t runs straight from the fore
head for an inch toward the mouth at tine
proper angle for the correct nose, and here
breaks off in a kind of button, ending In
rather sensitive nostrils. 1t is a curious
nose, and we all know that it is the nose of
a statesman.

The Generals face grew red, his nose be-
came more plum-colored than ever, and 1t
was some time before he could persuade the
young lady that his nose was not false
one.
Iwent into the press gallery this after
noon and took look at the noses of
the Senate. What a handsome proboscis
Senator Edmunds has. 1t stands out like a
great rosy bow between those red cheeks and
there is striking Roman curve between it's
tip and its roots at the forehead. Edmunds'
head is as bald at the top as billiard ball
and from his silvery whiskers behind his
crown his skin is as fair as that of a two-
year-old baby. His nose has this complex
ion, and though it is charged that at times
he takes

colored his face and he looks as though he
fed on grits and spring water. He has re-
markablv sensitive nose and physiognomists

1t is judicial nose and legal nose, and
when it smells at the law it SMELLS for pay.
1t brings in its owner many $1,000 fee
and, it has made him one of the rich states
men of a State which runs more to brains
than to money.
As to golden noses, however, there are a
dozen In the Senate Chamber which would
bring gold galore if their owners were in the
hands of brigands. Senator Sherman made
trip to Cuba few years ago, and while
there he came within an ace of being capt
ured by the banditti and held for ransom.
His nose Is strong one, and don't sup
pose he would say it was worth S500,00 to
him. but had they caught him, and, with
razor in hand, told him that they would
slice that nose off into pieces the size of Sara
toga potato chips. 1 imagine they would
have gotten their money.

PAINTED BY BACCHUs.
1 saw a nose last night that must have cost
at least SIC, 600 in its coloring alone. 1t was
fastened above the mouth of one of the most
noted diners-out of Washington society, and
it shows what men can do as to the making
of their noses. The nose of the high liver is
far different from him who lives on oat-
meal, and this man is noted for his love of
terrapin and champagne. He has held
high rank in the army of the United States,
and he has one of the biggest heads and the
most beautifu silver hair in Washington.
His nose, however, is a wonder. 1t is fat,
large and of blush red. 1t looks like
rose-colored piHcushion, and you can read
champagne, chartreuse and Old Bourbon all
over it. 1t is so prominent, indeed, that its
owner, who is one of the jolliest fellows of
Washington, was thought to be wearing it
as mask at fancy ball of year or two
ago. He here me: a charming young lady
who was making her debut at the capital
that season, and who pleased him very
much. She wore a mask, and she chatIed
coquettishly with him from behind 1t.
Toward the close of the evening he asked
her to unmask. She did so, and General
Blank found she was as beautiful as she was
witty, and while he was complimenting her
upon her charms, the lady turned to him
and said:
TO PULL OFF HIS NOSE.

lady. You are wonderfully we'll made up

sTANLEYs POSTER FATHER.

Something About the Man Who Gave the
Explorer His Name.
Many New Orleans citizens remember
Henry Hope Stanley, who adopted Stanley,
the explorer, and gave him his first upward
start in lie, says a New Orleans letter.
Very few, however, have any recollection of
Stanley, the famous traveller In Africa.
Henry Hope Stanley was born in England
in 1915. He came of good family and was
highly educated. After his fathers death,
which occurred early in Stanley's life, his
mother married an Episcopal minister. She
is said to be still living, and her son by the
second marriage Inherited Stanley's fortune.
The young Englishman was of independent
mind, and determined to carve his own way
