sues. IneSe are the bearded men
of bearded age, ell except Farrsgut,
Governor John A Andrews, Gen. Ben
tanin T. Butler and a few others.
Gen. Butler wore a mustache
And what enormous boards some OF
the generals wore. No Bersekir chief
looked any hercer than Gen. James
Longstreet or Gen. Edward Pickett,
and no Highland chief looked any
more digniaed in hts long beard than
did Gen. Stonewall jackson or Ad-
miral d. H. Porter.
Gen. Robert E. Lee wore a rather
short beard, and it certainly became
hts face. Gen. Grant also wore his
beard rather short and stubby He
clearly did not care for his beard in
the same way that Lee did for his.
In some OF the early bearded pictunes
OF Grant he looks like frontiersman
OF the period little uRkempt, with
a hard, stern face Gen. Sheridan
wore rather long beard at ono time,
and there Is one picture Of Gen. Sher-
man here in which his beard is long,
thick and black, very unlike the close
ly-cropped beard he wore in later life.
The pictures of Gen. Hancock by
which he is most familiar show him
with fine mustache and goatee; but
here in this collection liz one in which
he Is shown with a not too elegant or
dignined beard. Gen. Custer is also
best known without beard. but there
Is On excellent portrait Of him in this
collection, bearded.
A portrait of Gen. Banks shows
him bearded whereas the usual pic
lures show him with goatee and mus
tache A portrait of Gen. Benjamin
+. Butler looks rather unusual with
the long hair and long dropping mus
tache. The portrait OF Gen. Garfield
shows him in much the same style OF
beard he wore In later life.
The type of men who were promi-
nent in those days has surely disap-
peared. but It Is probable that the
general lack OF beard to-day on the
faces of prominent men has much to
do with this apparent difference. Near
ly all OF these men looked rougher, as
II they had been used to more physical
struggles with life There is a sort OF
type running through the faces which
has surely disappeared The cOllec-
ton Is interesting and of value rs
showing the type OF bearded men who
