strange and to some minds uncanuy in the
way the two men grew old at the same
even rate If Mr.. Leopold found another
gray hair in his beard he seized the first
opportunity to see Mr.. Could, and found
that he, too, had gained gray hair.
Once Mr.. Leopold was offered $4,000 TO
personate Mr. Gould. 1t was during that
part of the campaign Of 1854, when poll
tics and fiuance ran into one, rs 1t were,
and the scheme was for Mr.. Leopold to fall
on Wall street as If senseless. The con.
sprators were to hurry him into car
riage aud up town, and announce that
"Mr. Gould was fatally injured" or
course the wires were to be cut which lead
to the Gould country seat. then the trick
sters conld have realized on the panic in
stocks
Mr.. Leopold has also had good offers to

How Carl Schurz Looks.

Carl Schurz walks up Broadway every
afternoon to his residence, which is
somewhere above Thirty fourth street
on the west side. He does not appear to
change a particle in appearance, and
can he recognized as easily today by the
cartoons Tom Mast drew of him in 1875
as he could then. Carl SEIZURE is not
handsome man, either in figure or face.
He is lean and cadaverous, with red
whiskers and sharp nose that is habit
ually elevated in the air as if catching
an unpleasant odor. But there are few
men. on Broadway who are better known
or oftener pointed out to strangers. He
has been caricatured until the public
generally knows him by sight. l am
told that he is a fine pianist, and that
frequently at night the neighborhood in
which he lives is edited by strains of
music that float out from his home
New York Press.
