in his life he had been trampled upon,
and could not, at least, he had not,

AS he stood on the street corner
thinking of these things, and waiting
for the mist of rage to pass from his

his side.

The young man spoke with marked
English accent, and there was quality
in his manner of speech which appealed
very strongly To Arthur.

They both laughed at this, and the

"IIow de do" said Salisbury, with n

the talk he had heard. Salisbury did
not take the trouble TO rise.
Arthur was not thick-skinned, and he
had been struck for the first time by
the lash of caste, and il raised welt.
He choked with his rage and stood
silent, while Salisbury looked him over,
and passed upon his good points as il he

the lazy lift of his eyebrows which mad
dened Arthur.

lessor Dyche went to Cook S
Inlet especially in search of nat
ural history specimens. He as
cended to the source of the Knik
river with an organized expedi-
ton which was a success, al
though the obstacles to be over
come were appalling. The ma
tive boatmen stripped naked, and
with ropes pulled the boat up the
turbulent river. Professor Dyche
obtained specimens Of new
mountain sheep, twelve immense
moose heads, caribou, sea etter,
birds and other small animals.
On July II Professor Dyche saw
eight inches of snow fall, and on
August II six inches fell. He
saw three smoking mountains and
experienced an earthquake. He
found large coal lodges, but the
coal was so soft that it could be
whitfield with a knife. Profess
sor Dyche said:
"That country is one half
made. 1t will be a good country
when it is finished. The glaciers
are slowly doing their work; the
mountains and the rivers are
vomiting quantities of quicksand.
1t is a new country. Let it alone
and some day it will be a good
country.

cess, wealthy beyond all other
Alaska Indians. She has SIS, :

right arm, she wears FIVE brace
lets each hammered out of gold
twenty, and on her left arm she
wears ten bracelets each made
from $40 gold piece. She has
hundreds of blankets, sea- otter
skins, etc. and owns a schooner
and two sloops. She is 6s years
old, and has just obtained her
fifth husband, a man 20 years
old, for whom she paid 500
blankets. The Thlingit women

he had a wart on his cheek. In
his case it was small, and located
on the right side just above the
line of the beard. His face was
not perfectly symmetrical, the
left eye being a very little lower
than the right. His brow was
high, broad, and rather square,
and was creased with several
horizontal wrinkles, which
helped to emphasize the serious
and somewhat careworn look
which was uever absent from his
countenance. This expression
however, was in no wise an indi-
cation of his nature, which was
always buoyant, cheerful and
hopeful. His voice was exceed
ingly musical, and one Of the
clearest in sound and most distinct
in utterance that | ever heard.
1t had singular power of pene-
tration, and sentences spoken by
him in an ordinary tone in camp
could be heard at distance which
was surprising.
His gait in walking might have
been called decidedly unmilitary.
He never carried his body erect,
and, having no ear for music or
rhythm, he never kept step to
the airs played by the bands, no
matter how vigorously the bass
drums emphasized the accent.
When walking in company there
was no attempt to keep step with
others. In conversing he usually
employed only two gestures; one
was the stroking Of his chin beard
with his left hand and resting it
at intervals upon his knee or a
table, the hand being held with
the fingers close together, and
the knuckles bent, so that the
back of the hand and fingers
formed right angle. When not
pressed by any matter of import
ance he was often slow in his
movements, but when aroused
to activity he was quick in every
motion and worked with marvel
lous rapidity. He was civil to all
who came in contact with him,
and never attempted to snub any
one, or treat anybody with less
consideration on account of his
inferiority in rank. With him
there was none of the puppyism
so often bred by power, and none
of the dogmatism which Samuel
Johnson characterized as puppy
ism grown to maturity. -

GRANT IN WAR TIME.
Personal Appearance Of the Great Sol
der During the Great War.

Personal appearance Of the Great Sol
der During the Great War.
Al description Of General y S.
Grants personal appearance at
this important period of his career
may not be out Of place here,
particularly as up to that time the
public had received such errone-
ous impressions of him. There
were then a few correct portraits
of him in circulation. Some OF
the earliest pictures purporting to
be photographs of him had been
manufactured when he was at the
distant front, never stopping long
enough in one place to be ''fo-
cused. - Nothing daunted, the
practisers of that art, which is the
chief source of the vain, had
photographed burly beef con-
tractor, and spread the pictures
broadcast as representing the de-
termined but rather robust feat
ures of the coming hero, and it
was some time before the real
photographs which followed were
believed to be genuine.
False impressions of him were
derived, too, from the fact that
he had come forth from a country
leather store, and was famous
chiefly for striking sledgehammer
blows in the field and conducting
relentless pursuits of his foes
through the swamps of the south
west. He was pictured in the
popular mind as striding about in
the most approved swash buckler
style of melodrama. Many of us
were not little surprised to find
in him a man of slim figure,
slightly stopped, five feet eight
inches in height, weighing only
135 pounds, and of a modesty of
mein and gentleness of manner
which seemed to fit him more for
the court than for the camp. His
eyes were dark gray, and were
the most expressive of his features,
Like all men who speak little, he
was good listener, but his face
gave little indication of his
thoughts, and it was the express
sion of his eyes which furnished
about the only response to the
speaker who conversed with him.
When he was about to say some
thing amusing, there was always
a perceptible twinkle in his eyes
before he began to speak, and he
often laughed heartily at a witty
remark or a humorous incident.
His mouth, like Washington S,
was of the letter box shape, the
contact of the lips forming a nearly
horizontal line. This feature was
of pattern in striking contrast
with that of Napoleon, who had
a bow mouth, which looked as if
it had been modelled after front
view of his cooked hat. The
tirmness with which the generals
square-shaped jaws were set
when his features were in repose
was highly expressive of his force
of character and the strength of
his will power. His hair and
beard were of a chestnut brown
color. The beard was worn full,
no part of the face being shaved,
but, like the hair, was always
kept closely and neatly trimmed.
Like Cromwell, Lincoln, and
several other great men in history,
