I>er?onall tie* of Literati.
JJCEBOLD,
Douglas Jerrold, a well known coutributor
to Punch, and editor of various publications, is
a man about fifty years of age, aud iu person
is remarkably spare and diminutive, liis face
is sharp, angular, and his eye of a grayish hue.
He is probably one of the most caustic writers
of the age, and, with keen sensibility, he often
writes under the impulse of the moment arti
cles" which- his cooler judgment condemns. Al
though a believer in hydropathy, his habits do
not conform to the interual application of
Adam's ale. His Caudle Lectures have beeu
read by every one. In conversation he is quick
at returt?not always refined. He in a husband
und grandfather.
MACAULAY.
The Hon. T. 11. Maeaulay is short in stature,
round, and with a growing tendency to alder
manic disproportions. His head has the same
rotundity as his body, and seems stuck on it as
firmly as a pin-head. This is nearly the sum
of his personal defects; all else, except the
voice,(which is monotonous and disagreeable,)
is certaiuly in his favor. His face seems liter
ally instinct with expression; his eyes, above
all, full oi' deep thought and meaning. As he
tvalks, or rather struggles, along the street, he
seems in a state of total abstraction, unmind
ful of all that is going on around him, and sole
ly occupied with his own working mind. You
cannot help thinking that literature with him
is not a mere profession or pursuit, but that it
has almost grown a part of himself, as though
historical problems or analytical criticisms were
a part of his daily food.
BAILEY.
A correspondent of the Tribune, writing from
Nottingham, England, says:
"I have seen Bailey, the author ot 'Festus.'
His father is proprietor of the Nottingham
Mercury, and the editorial department rests
with him. He is a thick set sort ot a man; oi
a stature'below the middle size; complexion
dark, and in years about eight-and-thirty. His
physiognomy would be clownish iu expression,
if his eyes did not redeem his other features.
He spoke of 'Festus,' and of its fame iu Ame
rica, of which he seems very proud, in Eng
land it has only reached its third edition, while
eight or nine have been published in the Lni
ted States.''
1 >K QUINCKY.
He is one of the smallest legged, smallest
bodied, and most attenuated effigies of the hu
man form divine that one could find iu a
crowded city during a day\walk. And it one
adds to this fignre clothes that are neither
fashionably cut nor fastidiously adjusted, lie
will have a tolerably rough idea ot De Quincey.
But then hit brow, that pushes his obtrusive
hat to the back part of his head, and his light
grey eyes, that do not seem to look out, but to
be turned inward, sounding the depths oi his
imagination, and searching out the mysteries
of the most abstruse logic, are something that
you would search a week 11 find the mates to,
and then you would be disappointed. De
Quincey now resides at Lasswade, a romantic
rural village, once the residence of Sir Walter
Scott, about seven miles irom Edinburg, Scot
lund, where an affectionate daughter watches
over him, and where he is the wonder ol the
count ry people tor miles around.
i.amaktini:.
Lamartine is?yes, young ladies, positively
?a prim looking man with a lon<{ face, short,
grey hair, a slender ligure, and a suit ot black.
Put a pen behind his ear and lie would look
like a ''confidential clerk.' Hive his face
more character and he would remind you of
Henry Clay, tie has a line head, phrenologi
cally speaking?large and round at the top,
with a spacious forehead, -and a scant allot
ment of check. J'rim is the wor.d, though.
There is nothing in his api>earance which is
ever so remotely suggestive ot the romantic.
Ha is not even p ile, and as for a rolling shirt
collar, or a-Byroyic tie, he is evidently not the
man -to think ol such things. Romance, in
fact, is the ar ielo he lives by, and, like other
men, he chooses to "sink the shop, at least
when he sits for his } ortrait.
Dl'MAH,
On the contrary, is a burly fellow. His large
red, round cheeks stand out, till they seem to
stretch the very skin that covers them, and it
looks as smooth as a polished apple. His
black crisped hair is piled high above his fore
head, and stands divided into two unequal
masses, one inclining to the right, and the
other to the left. His eyes are dark, and his
mouth sensuous, but not to the degree ol vul
garity. His person is large, and his flowing
mantle red. He is a gentleman to lay bare
his throat, and look romantic, not Byronically
so, but piratically. ^ et he looks good hu
mored, and like a mau whose capacity for
physical enjovnient is boundless. His negro
-blood is evident enough to one who knows he
has it; bufit would not be detected by one
who knew it not. It appears in the peculiar
rotundity of the man and all his parts it
crisped and heaped hid hair; it made him
dress up in flowing red, to have his portrait
taken. But his complexion is only a shade
darker than the average. 1 he portrait re
minds us for a moment of the late Thomas
Hamlin, the actor.
SVgenk Bl'K,
Is neither prim nor burly. He is a man of
large frnme, over which a loose black coat is
carelessly buttoned. Complexion light, eyes
blue, hair once black, qow pepper and salt,
whiskers voluminous, eyebrows black and
thick, good forehead, and the lower face ample.
This conveys no better idea of the man s ap
pearance than a French passport. But the
truth is, Sue's countenance and figure have
none of those peculiarities which make de
scription possible. He looks in his portrait
like a comfortable, caroL ss,elderly gentleman,
taking his ea^e iu achair and easy coat. He doe*
not look like mi author?authors seldom do.
llis air is rather that of a prosperous citizen.
Sue is only forty-live years old, but he has
lived fast, and looks fifty-five. Lamartine is
sixty-three, and would pass easily for fifty three.
Dumas is fifty, and could get credit for thirty
eicht.

Death of a Veteran.
Captain John M Clintock, naval officer of
Portsmouth, N. H., died in that city on Tues
day. Captain M'Clintock was in his day a
.mariner, a merchant, and originally a politician
of the old Jefferson school. He sided with a
few others of his party in opposition to the
war of 1812, fell into the minority, and had
little to do with political affairs for many years,
but was given the office of naval officer of the
port in the time of General Harrison, and, by
the respect of after administrations, retained
it until his death.
Tut Use or Chloroform in Emnbi;kuh.?
Professor Simpson states, that during the last
six or seven years, few operations have been
performed iu Edinburgh, either in hospital or
private practice, without the patient being pre
viously anaesthetized with chloroform, l'uring
that period one death hag occurred in the city,
among the many thousands who have been,
subjected to the use of chloroform. But during
the same six or seven years, among the com
paratively lew operated .upon there without
chloroform, three or four deaths have taken
place, either during or immediately after sur
gical operation. This statement, from such a
source, is of great, value.
Pins Extracted from the Stomach of a
1?'bm \i.e. Dr. E. P. Fearing of Nantucket,
Mass.. has taken from the stomach, abdomen
and left side of a patient named Jane James,
sixty-two needles, und it is probable, it is said,
that quite a number remaiu to be removed.
They were swallowed twelve years ago, when
the patient was deranged, and imagined herself
a pincushion.

Burglars.? We have trequeully referred to
this class of depredators, who, despite the vigi
lance of the police and of our citizens, have here
tofore managed not only lo effect their purposes,
bill t" escape capture. Their successes embol
dened them lo u brisk prosecution of their dia
hotubl trade, and they acted us if the property ol
the metropolis were a fuud for legitimate plunder!
A muss meeting ui the house-keepers and mer
chunts who have suffered by the midnight thieves,
could frame a J id of losses longer than un iri?h
pedigree, or a Congressional "private calendar" in
the middle of the auuual session. Truly, our
people huve been liccced grsatly by the skillul
burglars. .
Early on Tuesday morning, however, one ol the
thieves was detected in the act of carrying oil
eleven or twelve pairs ol lirst quality mens' boots,
and a leathern travelling bug, of which he had
robbed u store in the neighborhood of the Centre
Market. The lei low wua not caught until alter
lie hud plunged into the canul, in the vain hope
lo elude his Auxiliary Guard pursuers, lie was
lodged in jail, to await trial during the December
term of the Criminal Court.

Patriotic.?In watching the movements of the
politicians arrayed in opposition to the Democracy,
busily engaged, night and day, in cutting out
work for their congressional friends to sew up
according to the voluntarily prescribed fashions,
one cannot fail lo be impressed with an idea of
tiie patriotism which governs the movements!

JOYCE'S TASTELESS SOLUTION
Of C?l?lbal 114 l limubcra Hlieet, N. Y.
TO THE MEDICAL PKOfE^ION.
GENTLUNUN.?The valuable medicinal
properties of Balsam Copaiba have long
been recognized by the (acuity, but the great dm
advantaae arising from its nauteou* taste has
hitherto prevented its administration in many
diseases lor which it is particularly adapted. The
usual ' modut operandi" of prescribing it, either
in the form of an Emulsion or Gelatinous Cap
sules, has not been Ibund satisfactory, being liable
to some objection, either from the difficulty expe
rienced by some individuals in th<} deglutition of
the Capsule or the small quantity of Copaiba geu
erally found in the Emulsion.
Joyce's tasteless solution of Copaiba is the
most anique preparation yet introduced to the
medical profession, as it contains 5<) per cent, of
the purest Para Copaiba, without taste or smell,
and at same time mixes clearly and freely with
water, and is pronounced by the most eminent
physicians and analytical chemists in the old and
new worlds to contain all the medicinal proper
ties of Balsam Copaiba without its disagreable
characteristics.
It is an efficient preparation for all disea?es of
the mucous membranes, and particularly (runo
rlieu-a, Leucorrhuea, Gleet, painful hemorrhoidal
affections, and in chronic irritation of the bladder.
