Hence there may be some interest concerning his personal appearance. Rather strange, however, he neVer allowed his portrait to be taken. No reason was ever given {or this, and it must be one oi those peculiarities which occasionally mark distinguished char- acters. Even the request oi Judge Hilton tailed to obtain a likeness. It may be said that his appearance was that of a proiessiouai man rather than of a merchant. Instead of that brisk and penetraiive look which so oiten accompanies trafiic, one beheld a quiet coun- tenance, which indicated study, and it was a matter of dimculty to identity it with the world oi isshion over which it had supremacy. Stewart formerly looked like a tall man, but oi late years a slight stoop changed his appearance. His height was about five feet ten, and his complexion was bionde, with auburn hair, closely approaching red. A stranger seeing that quiet and thought- in] lorm moving through the crowd of cus- tomers would have pronounced him a respect- able ciergyman or physician who had come to buy material [or a plain suit. This leads to the remark that Stewart observed a strict plainness of apparel, and was in this respect inferior to many of his employees. He was an economist in dress, and tar many years required his wife to follow his example. In fact. he never became a society man. or as- sumed an elegant style until he occupied his magnificent palace. His grandeur seemed like that of the century plantâ€"a brief glory alter an age of preparation. As soon as the palace was opened. his regime was improved to the highest possible extent. Splendid en- tertainments were given every Sunday night. The merchant prince and his wile also be- came active members oi high lite, and the latter dressed in velvet and diamonds. which was much in contrast with her iormer appear- ance.â€"â€""Ilermit," Troy Times.

The eye is pro- minent, full and large. and placed laterally. so that he can see behind him without turn~ ing his head. his heels being his principal weapon of defence. Hie nostrils are large. open and flexible. and his lips fleshy. though thin and extremely mobile and sensitive. The large open nostril is essential to him. as a horse breathes solely and entirely through it. being physically incapable of breathing through his mouth. as a valve in the throat actually precludes him from so doing; hence the mouth of ahorse without a bridle in it is opened only for purposes of eating or biting, but never from excitement or from exhaustion. like that of most other quadrupeds. except the deer species. The lips are. perhaps, even more characteristic; they are his hands as well as part of his mouth. and the horse and others of his family alone use them in this way. The ox. the sheep. the goat. the deer. the giraffe above all. and. in fact. we believe all gramlnivorous animals. except the horse. either bite their food directly with the teeth. or grasp and gather in with the tongue. which is prehensile. and gifted with more or less power of prolongation ; but the horse's tongue has no such functions, and. therefore. no such powers. as these services are all per- formed in his case by the lips. and no horse- man who has let a favorite horse pick up small articles of food from the palm of his hand can have failed to be struck with the extreme mobility, and also the sensibility and delicacy of touch with which the lips are endowed.
