—Somebody may be interested in the
following extravagant description of
Anthony Trollope, as he sat listening
to the Impeachment proceedings:
Ho sat doubled up like a figure four,
leaning his great bushy beard on his
arms, which rested on the railing in
front. He is a strange looking per
son. His head is shaped like a minie
ball, with the point rounded down a
little, or like tbg half of a lemon cut
transversely in two. It is small, al
most sharp at the top, and bald, ins
creasing in size until it reaches his
neck. The growth of his hair and
whiskers may give his head more the
appearance I have described than it
deseuyes. His lace is red (‘ruddy’ is
the English word), and his nose
shows an unmistakable brandy bios*
som. His complexion and general
bearing are much like Dicken’s and
he has a decided cockney air. His
body is large »nd well preserved.—
He dresses like a gentleman and not
like a fop, hut he squeezes his small,
well-shaped hand into a very small
pair of corn-colored kids. He ‘wears
a cane,’ as all Englishmen do.
l&rGeorge N. Harrington, other
wise known as rt George Christy,”
well-known as a minstrel and a delin
eator of Ethiopian eccentricities,died
at the residence of his mother on
Tuesday night. He was performing
in Boston last week, but be was taken
suddenly ill duringaporformanee was
conveyed to New York, taken to bis
mother’s home, where he breathed hie
last on Tuesday night. Few men in
his profession gained as world wide a
reputation as the original “Brudder
Bones.” In his life time he made
more than three fortunes and he
spent them almost as fast a? he earned
them.
