and, with an Instinct that It was concerned In
expressing lilm, whenever he steed In the
open air. ills hat was lined or removed often
enough te glve It all its proper ellect In the
Impression of his presence. Ills waistcoat
was invariably a dark crimson, and his
standing cot cellar lined with scarlet. Ills
One large face was always cleanly sha ml,
and he werea besom frill elegantly negligent,
Just as a painter would set a superb head In a
wreath of clouds.
It was net hlsdress that he paraded ; It was
as much as dress could de te match his mien
and movement; and crimson, powder and
ruflles, were tame enough te sem modest
and unobtrusive In his service. His hat was
Urge, with liberal breadth or brim, turned up
behind te accommodate the erect cellar, and
d pen the pitch el the point which shelteml
the brew, and repeated and Impressed the
curve and dip of Ms fine aquiline nese. Ills
feet and hand varied the etlect or his personal
beauty, by thelr mero delicate elegance ; and
bis beets, crimped and tasselled, received the
length or limbs and lightened his tee Impos
ing grandeur, as rhyming syllables reduce
and Bofleu the stride of verse.
He walked with his head n lltlle forward
of the perpendicular, as Is usual with men
whose frontal brain Is active, and alnays
with the pleased engagedness of expression
In bis ceuntenance which makes n man
happy In speaking te ethors who ate as
happy in hearing him. Ne eye evor caught
lilm weary, listless or vacant; he took no
holidays, nor even knew theso remissions of
engagement which ordinary people indulge
in at the beginnings and finishings of their
undertadinga. He was always full employ ed
and equally Intent, and the spring in him
was net eniy strong eneugu ler weru out it
was easy enough ler play ; whlle the tide ran
like a cataract, the surface rippled and
sparkled with humor the sunshine In dalll
ance with the spray the storm tones rarened
Inte music. Ills temper was sharp and high,
but steady. As It never Tell into feebleness
se it ne er rose into rage ; the perclrely and
junc-blank tone of feeling, ever present, kept
him tee well balanced ter that. Kxtravag Kxtravag
ance, by ether men's measnre el sentiment
and action, was common enough with him,
but he was never hurried Inte the trepida
tion of an angry paroxysm.
It is tbe temperament of such a man, mere
than any thing else that determines his char
acter, lly temperament I mean a condltler
of the physical organlrttlen, a make ei
muscle, nen e and bloedvessels, and a man
ner and proportion In their combination.
The terms or nrtued te distinguish and de
scribe these dltlerences and their etlects are
net exact or adequate, but 1 think the words
tonic and sanguine answer best te his
strength and laver the vigor with the glow,
the trenchant diamond and Its brilliancy ; for
all the llash about him was the eutleaplng et
a steady ilre. Kvery faculty within hltn
seemed hung upon celled springs answering
with electric quickness tells proper excitant.
This man was uneducated as we phrase It
He owed nothing but reading and writing in
his mother tongue, and simple arithmetic te
the schools. Ue w as net deeply read in his
tory, civil policy, law or general literature;
he knew no art or science as a system ; but
be was none the less equal te any emergency
In atlairs or any demand for speculative
thinking In matters et life and business. His
Instincts were se large and true, bis feelings
se sound and earnest, and all bis aim se just
and generous that he always found the truth
and right by sympathy with their sentiment,
and was ever sure of the required Inspiration
at the moment et his need. .Such, indeed,
were his native strength and readiness at all
points, that it is safe te scy that, In a repre
sentative cireer et forty years in the state
and national legislatures, and the incident
contact with the pivot men of politics, the
general was never nonplussed by his delects
of education. The nice taste of fashionable
peeple was often shocked by bis uncultured
strength and rugged style of utterance.
Nothing was morn common In the vlllage
than clusters of boy-men In high merriment
eer his Irregularities, like se many Hies
alter a rich leat, busy with the broken
victuals ; but it was only in his absence that
the buzzing and blowing happened; his
presence, somehow, alnaysheldse large a
balance of force against the sharpness of the
witlings, that the bunting never began till
the lien had lert tbe Held.
Probably net one man In a hundred can
learn te write his own name, spall 1'ehruary,
or te hit the cases el the personal pronouns,
alter forty years of age. Tne general sutlered
something by his lack et formal training in
his youth, which ear-marked his style et
speech and composition while he lived. An
amusing instance- will illustrate a slight
defect et this sort, and his masterly skill In
extricating himself which never deserted
him In any such exigency.
Immediately after Madisen's second elec
tion, the general called upon Uoveruor
Tindlay then holding the office of state
treasurer, with the manuscript of a long
letter which he had written te the president
covering the whole geund of our foreign and
domestic policy, and especially the principle
and measures of the Democratic party. Mr.
l'iudlay heard It with net a little admiration
of its merits, both as te matter and manner;
but glancing at the paper, be observed that
the general bad In some hundred instances,
written the pronoun I in little with a pep
eerit; and sincerely desiring te reform It
for the writer's cike, aud for the cUect that It
ought te have, but impressed also with his
sensitiveness te crl.Icism which in anyway
impeached his capabilities, he coaxingly sug
gested the much desired correction after this
fashien:
"An excellent lotter, general. sound
letter, sir; lull or most capital advice, which
Mr. Madisen w ill te glad and proud te re re
ceUe, and thoroughly Democratic ineery
sentiment. A letter, general, that any man
might he proud te write. Views sir, that

orsen'slf they are lully adopted. Hut, gen
eral, they have a court custom at Washington,
a small mutter, such as you and I are net apt
te treat with much consideration an Indif
ferent little piece of etiquette a" Here
Mr. l'indlay began te stammer. Tbe gen
eral's keen eve was en lilm, and he felt it.
" Percizely' ! w hat la It?"
" Oh, nothing," looking ever the paper as
if It were hard te find. ' Nothing at all. and
yet it would I,a easily altered. A stroke of
the pen here ami there, merely."
"l'lne blank," said the general, "what Is
It, Mr. FJndlay?" '
"Why, general, It has become the custom
lately at ashingten, te write the pronoun 1
with a capital letter."
The general was caught, and he kuew how hew
lie was caught, loe, and he must recever
him self.
"l'erclzely, Mr. I Indlay ; all right. Most
assuredly 1 knew piue blank you're
right. Ne question of iu" lly this time he
was ready. " I.oelt here, my dear sir," lay
ing his hand en Mr. 1'indlay's sheulder, as
If te reassure him, for the embarrassment
wasallontheeuoNldonow. "Yeu se, my
dear fellow, 1 had a design in 1L When I
write te a small pattern or a man, I make my
capital I's two Inches long : when 1 wrltn in
my equal fellew-clllrens, such as yourself,
for instance, I make them the usual length ;
but, sir, when I address myseir te as great a
man as Mr. Madisen or Mr. Jellerson, I al
ways make them as small as possible with a
pep ever them, twclzelv."
I need hardly say that the general walked
straight te his room, and raised every letter
or them te the dignity required by the rules
or grammar, ami the etiquette or Washing
ton city, before he dlspatcned the epistle.
And thore was matter in him as well as
manner. He had both the Insight and fore
sight et a ruling mind. There was none
oarlier or mero cmclcnt in the support of adv
vanee iuuhSivuU n stste neMcy, theAibij,
rrem his Inland and Isolated lecalfiy, his con'
nectien with their execution was less con cen con
splcueus than that or his principal contom centom contem
porarlea. He represented a geed fiftieth part
or the Keystone state during that stage or Its
history which gave it its present blub posi
tion ; and his " Aye," Aye," upon the
Journals mark his support or the uieasures
which anticipated aud Insured its prosperity,
pereizely; as his "Ne," "He" bears plncv
blank against the prejecu which prlndple
Ol course, the general was a Democrat a
Democrat in the best significance or the
term ; for there was breadth and variety
enough of man In him te fit him for both the
service and sovereignty or the civil state,
and te conciliate the duties which he owed
te his constituents, with the claims he held
due from them te himself. A true man in
uimseii, ue was uise in none of his relatiene
He purchased nothing by sacrifice of his
manliness, and he secured nothing by usur usur

in.
The religious sentiment of this man was
strong aud active, under modification or his
peculiar mental constitution. Ue was. in.
deed, Incapable or meekness, and suicide
would have been as easy te him as repent,
ance, and very like it. It was at a later day.
when the hardest features el bis character
had quite outgrown the little plasticity
which tempered them, that he eent hi com.
plImeutserSL IMuk, by n dying friend, with
the assurance that he " approved his writings,
generally, and entertained Ter himself, as a
man, the highest regard, affection and cs
teem." This, however, was only an exag
geration or his customary tumid, for In his
best days be would have offered his arm te
an archangel in the style or a Democratic
president doing the honors of the plauet te a
distinguished visitor. In a word, he was
just himself, precUely a man that would
jiave stuck te his Intercession for the cities
of the plain, if he had been In Abraham's
place, till he had nothing left but Let's wife
te otter in mitigation of their deem. Moses,
though the meekest el men, was bold enough
te reply te the threat of destruction te the
Israelites " l'orglve them, or blot my nsme
out of thy book." Ilenersl Ogle wouldn't
step at that i he would eiler au apology for
the unrortunate multltude at the general
judgment, In the confidence that every thing
could be satisfactorily arranged afterwards
by his ewu kind eillees.
Of his moral conscience 1 am safe in say
ing It was just the balance or his own Im
pulses and opinions. Ills reelings settled
the right and wrong or things among them
selves, without any reference te received
standerds. Ne prophet could be mere confi
dent et his Inspiration than the general was
of tne oracle within him ; and he wa, more
over, net the man te desire a ravoreutol
rule, te pray, nr wlb, in thought or word,
for a iersenal benefit te soul or body, or te
fear or evade any legitlmate consequence of
his ew u large liberty of soul.
As an example of the general's mode of
reasoning, aud the morale of his logle, be
shall ansuer in his own style. Mippose an
Indian war te be the subject ; Its providen
tial results, rather than Its Instlce, being Its
warranty.

Tue Canaanltes were the Indians or the Hely
Land, and w hen the cup of their Iniquities
was full, and the Cavaliers and Puritans of
that day wanted room, and had the better
right of better men te fill It, Jehovah told
them, pine-blank, te oust the lounging var

not tolerate mere cumberers of the ground.
The copper-beads take up mere room than

are, In tact, the greatest land-monopolists in

lte.spenlbllity for peer men's debts, and
the actual payment of them In the last ex
tremlty, and the general care and direction
of the improvident and incapable people In
his large acquaintance, rested en him con
stantly, and was cheerfully borne and uu
grudgtngly dl-charged, and, or course, net a
little ostentatiously at the same time. The
manners of his constituency were robust and
blunt, and great delicacy in his conduct te-
waras mem weuiu nave nere missed lis aim,
and he had ue Idea of reserve toward these
who would bear the open utterance of every
thing that concerned them. It was, accord,
ingly, net at all unusual, nor very outra
geous, either, te find him enacting his benev
olences In the public streets , nor, Indeed,
was it qnlte out of the way for him te re
hearse them te the ungrateful and presump
tuous for their benefit and bis own honor.
In the centre squire et the county town, en
a public day, with a crowd of the country
people around hlin, he has been heard te say,
mero than once, In his loudest tones, " I'm
the father et the county. Ker forty years 1
have done all Its thinking, and managed all
Its business. 1 preiected your public reads
and every great improvement Iu the policy
of the community. 1 have made you happy
at home and respected abroad. 1 knew
every man or you, fn m the scorn up te the
scrubs that ye are. I knew mere law- than
your lawyers and mero divinity than your
preachers. 1 can teach your merchant in
their own business ; aud there isn't one in a
deen of you that doesn't ewe your geed
luck te my advice, and your mlstortunes te
neglecting it. I am the eldest major general
In the I ulted States except deneral Jacksen.
1 want nothing from you I belong te my
seir, but I want you te knew what is for
your own geed, pereizely."
In public debate and conversation, he was
remarkable ler tact, blunt wit, and elective
olequeuce ; besides he had a voice anil
manner of declamation which insured the
reception of anything that he uttered. Net
a man in a million has equal possession and
command of the nervea of his auditors.
Think towards him as they might, they
wereebllced te think with him. Hanover
knew the embarrassment of a doubt, and he
never showed its hesitation. He wasn't
leaded squib fashion, with alternate wads of
wet and dry powder. When he exploded an
opinion, it bad the clear, compact, metallic
ring of a straight-cut ritle crack, and, hit or
miss, It was net safe te stand within his
range.
He had learned all the best and most avail
able law maxims ; he knew the bcrlptnres
as he said, like a book ; and he was richly
supplied with thOeO sententious oracles of
wisdom and prudence which have crystal
lized themselves Inte happy, self-proving
maxims In form for ready and otlectlve use.

Thanki,Uln. Uajr In October
from the Lutheran Observer
The Worcester Spy urges the propriety of
changing the time of our national Thanks
giving day "from bleakNovembertegoldon
October." It Is incomprehensible en ration
al grounds hew such an absurd anachronism
as a Thanksgiving for the harvests and fruits
of the earth should be be long and perversely
continued en the very edge of winter, a
month or two after the proper time for ob
serving such a public service in recognition
of Ged's bountiful providence and superin
tending care.
There is net a single geed reason rer per
petuatiug the preposterous Incongruity, ox ex
cept the unreasoning and stolid inertia el an
old local custom which has become nation
alized, and should therefere be no longer
marred and perverted by attempted observ
ance at the unsuitable time adopted at Its
origin In New Kngland. After Its nationali
zation by President Lincoln during the war
of the rebellion, the time of its observance
should have been changed te iu proper sea
son, with some regard te the extent of coun
try In w hich it Is Intended te be ebserved by
the people. The day la appointed te eiler
publle thanksgiving te Oed for the harvests
and fruits el the earth In their season, and
according te divine precept, the thanksgiving
should be made during the Ingathering of
the harvests w hen the hearts of the peeple
are prompted te gratitude by the fresh evi
dences of Oed' bounty around them. Such
was tbe time of the thauksglving feast of
tabernacles among the ancient Uebrews un-
uer me tneecracy, ana according te the ex
press command or Jehovah, Hew absurd,
hew untimely and out or keeping with the
gratelul design or a thanksgiving day, te lo le lo

I tlsa strange perversenosser custom which
continues te ap(Klut tbe observance or this
national festival of gratitude te Oed no far
out of Its proper season. We repeat, no geed
reason can be glven for perjetuatlng this
glaring incongruity and absurd anaenron anaenren
Ism. When it was first Introduced in New Eng
land, It was by Puritanic peeple who deemed
Han evidence of seml-pepery te commeme
rate the nativity of Christ en Christmas, and
they located their public thanksgiving day
near the time of that blessed family festival,
and combined with thelr publle thanksgiv
ing social filial Jeys of family reunions
This was all very well and beautirul In Its
day; but the blessed Christmas festival Is new
ebserved In Ita proper season, and In accord
ance with its proper design: and then (Jhri.t.
mas would be te them, as it should be te all
Christian people all ever the earth, a family
festival of gladness and joy, of gratitude and
pralse te Oed for the Habe or Hethlehem, their
Havlerand King.
We have urged this change In time or our
national Thanksgiving Day for years, and
shall continue te urge it as long as we shall
have opportunity. We hepe that seme time
hereafter the geed sense and Judgment of our
aiaie governors ami our presiueut will lead
them te Introduce this sensible reform.

Tim coming season premises te be as gen
erally uneventful In the literary world as
was the past oue. Net all the publishers
have even as yet sent out their "fall an
nouncements;" and of these who have, only
two or three promlse the publication el any
works of lasting lmportauceor wide Interest.
It almost seems as II, since the tl xxl gates of
Kusslan novels has been opened upon us
there were no mero fair chances for our
native authors still thle Is eulv seeming.
The most advertised book Is net always the
book that Is read most. Hut then It makes
me impatient, uoue the less, at the real or
seeming crare for Hussl.m stories that Is
prevalent Just new. 1 1 seeuis te me another
proerof thocirrectnesser MaurUe Thomp
son's assertion that "certain American critics
imaglne that the farther from
America a book Is written, the better the
book."
In fact that whele arttde of Mr. Thompson
In a recent number of The i.f.;n n.l-( is
au unusually rrauk and refreshing one.
Ue deals w ltheut fear or favor with "'lhe
Critics aud Kusslan Nev els" and say s ei lhe
former, for example, that "Just as the shirt
less laborer gees te dinner by the tow n ckv k,
be It fast or slew, these crlllcs keep their ev es
fixed upeu the Heme tit ! Jf'i't,
readv te sneeze whonevor It glv es the signal."
He thinks aud very plausibly tee, that this
whele Husslau craze has been gotten up In
the Interest of a few publlhers and or the
Frenchv "analvtlntl rA!li" iWienl of llctien.
What he says en the subject Is se charmingly
outspekou and unconventional, and 1 confess
expresses my own sentiments te huui an
extent, that I cannot forbear from quoting
his words at some length. They certainly
contain a large measure el truth, and are
well worth considering.
"Te begin with," he says, "there Is a ring
or business' in all this advertising and re
ad vertlslug or Tolstoi nnd Dosteievsky and
Tchernuishevsky and Oogel and the rest, as
ue Ameilcan author ever was or ever will be,
and everybody knows what it incuts or
everybody should knew-. A perfectly frank
and sincere person would say Ohe' pretty
geed this I Here's a corner in Husiau . thee
publishers are shrewd, they knew a thing or
two. Tolstoi and DostelevKj's aud the
ether books they can atlerd te advertise, lie
cause Tolstoi and Dasteievsky and the ethers
are net clamoring for ten "per cent, et the
gross income trein sales don't veu see'
And then these keen publishers kuew- that
whatever pleases the great Parisian journal
Is sure era hip and a hurrah from a certain
coterie or American critics. It's all clear
profit, don't you see I"
Ai-Ti.n Indulging in some .nut sstire at the
critics who go into ecstacies ever Tolstoi's
"crude but powerful pictures or Kusslan
Hie," speak admiringly el tiogel' "bold
baldness" and are ravished by Tchernui
shevsky's "richness of local color," while
none of them have ever seen a imle of
Kusslan scenery, knew les than nothing of
the Kusslan character and life, and could net
tell a Kusslan if they saw him from a Turk
or Italian, te say nothing of their utter ignor
ance et the Kusslan language, e that they
can only have read the books in a French
translation or mere likely In an Kugllsb
translation of the French ver-inn Mr.
Thompson gees en thus, and who that has
read the books must net agree with him
"Frankly speaking, 1 cannot read the
Kusslan language; in fact 1 have met but
one person who could, and he was net a
critic, nevertheless It has been suggested te
me In some way that, ev en in their naked
Kusslan, such novels as ' nna Kirenina'
and A Vital Question are net much better
than any ether novel of Intrigue and ' moral
obligations' of a kindred sort. The Hastiness
of Zela Is diluted and somewhat sugar
coated In Tolstoi, If the translation may be
rolled upon. There is a ditterence, 1
suppose, but a blunt and conscientious man
may fall te discover it; there appears te be
critical snobbery in the case semew here."
What he says further en alie.it the analy
tical school of fiction In general is eminently
true and well put. "The truth Is, that the
analysts are fighting for life, and they must
rake the whole world In order te lind in
stances of what they call ' grand realism' In
fiction, btrange te say these Instances turn
out te be, In nearly every case, studies of the
shady, thoseamy, the vulgar, the brutal, the
immoral aide of lire! It appeus that the
pure, the joyous, the noble side or life is
regarded as net worth analyzing. Why are
net a virtuous courtship and an lmnrt mar
riage better subjects than Intrigue and guilty
loveT"
I u.vvi. read, outside nfarewer Turguo Turgue
nttl's stories, only a slngle one el this recent
Heed of Kusslan novels, " Anna Karenina,"
w hich la said te be one of the best and purest.
That's why I did net read any mere. I f that
is the best, what must the ethers be At
the time I asked myself the very (iiestien
put by Mr. Thompsen: "Why should any
pure person find pleasure In reiding 'Anna
Karenina?' The readingef such literature
breeds a state or society like the J'nli Mull
Guzette exposed. Familiarity with tempta
tion, vice and shame, does net hget con
tempt for them in the large majority of
cases, or It It does, why shall we net send
our children te low dives and drinking dens
te get their education? In a word, why
should net criticism partakoef the highest
and purest morality, aud be colored te match
well with a neble patriotism? 'Ibis would
net mean mere sentimental morality and
mere vain-glorious pvtrietism, but it would
mean a keeping within the bounds or high
Christian civilization, and It would mean a
fixed preference for the best development of
our own literature."
Anetiikr point he makes and It Is the last
one I shall quete from his oxcellentartlclo, fs
ene of the greatest importance, a.ul deserves
te be pondered seriously by all really patrio
tic. Americans. Kusslan nihilism, If net
originated by the writings of Turguenefl,
Gegel, Pushkin and ethers was certainly en
couraged, fed and nourished by them until
it attained te its present monstrous grew in.
This Is a fact of history none can deny. Is It
net dangerous then ter us te Impert these
atheistic poisons and anarchistic firebrands
into our country? De we net perhaps already
reap some of the fruit In the ranttngsand
murderous violence of the dynamiters which
have se sorely disturbed our national trail
qullity of late? At least there Is reed ter
tneught in the fact that the outbreaks et
anarchism here have followed closely uien
the appearance or this Kusslan literature In
our country. As Mr. Thompson w oil says.
"There Is an active exchange or energy be
tween the literature and the morals ei any
country. When we began te Impert cheap
translations or Turgueneirs novels, and te
fllleur journals with pralsesef them, we little
dreamed that we were encouraging the
development or that foreign-bred anarchy
which blossomed lately in Chicago; but we
were doing just that thing. Kusslan litera
ture is net better for us than American litera
ture ; nor is French HXerature as geed for us
as our own. In ether words, we cannot
atlerd te tie Kusslanlzed or made Frenchy In
our morals iu any, uvun iiiu niuauest tiegree.
We must be sincere when we call ourselves
Americans."
That brings me back te what 1 started te
talk about at first.
Ir the number of notableAmorlcan books
that are se far announced for publication dur
ing tbe coming sensen is small, that Is all the
mero reason why they ought te be read. Net
because they are American, but because be
ing American they are almost certain te be
belter worth reading than nine-tenths of the
Kusslan or French books about which se
much nolse is made.
Kemi: of them are going te be books no in
telligent person can atlerd te neglect. There
is forexamplo, Prof. Charles V. Klchardseu's
long and eagerly loekod-for "History of
American Literature," which O. P. Putnam
it Ce., et New Yerk, have in press r at least
the first volume of it. It is going te be one or
the ablest and most Important publications
or the season; and ene of tbe most needed
