BY nEv. F. ALrOnn, nasnua, N. 11-
On the 8th of Nov. this servant of ‘Christ
passed to his rest, from his home in So. Nor-
walk, Ct. For more than thirty years he had
suffered from asthma. He was born in'Bridgc
port, Ct., Feb. 28, 1807 ; graduated at Union
College 1829; studied theology at New 11.—
Van ; tIuth school fora time at Hadky,
Mass; was pastor at Ludlow, Mass, and
Ihe same year was settled in SturbridgC; in '
1851 became pastor at South N orwalk, rc-
signing his pastorate in 1865, his three pas-
to:' tea c Ivuing tIIiItY years. III 1835 he
married Lucinda Ne well, daughter of the
Rev. Alfred Ely,,D. 1)., of Morison, a we—
man of rare Wmt‘I of character. Since his
dismission he has supplied vacant pulpitS. as
his health \\ ould permit.
Ills piety was simple and remarkably even
in its 'flow. e was never very much exalt-
ed, never very much depressed. llis religion
entered into his daily life. It gave tone and
mellowncss to his whole nature. When he
entered the ministry he was in robust health,
commanding in his appearance, so full of
strength that his work was a real pleasure to
him. In seasons of religious interest, he
frequently attended three or four services on
the Sabbath, and as many more during the
week. It was this frequent speaking in the
close and impure air of the school house and
private dwelling which developed the disease
that crippled the last thirty years of his life.
As a preacher, he kept close to the word of
God. He never quarreled with it. He en-
deavored to put himself behind the Word,
that he might project as much as possible of
it upon his hearers. His preaching was
direct, practical, often heart searching. He
had a remarkable gift for revival labor. In
the earlier years of his ministry, he would
have made a successful evangelist. His
unction, added to his knowledge of the
Bible, his skill in illustration, and his won—
derful fluency, gave great power to his,
preaching. He knew how to “use hospitality
without grudging.” He seemed never to
tire of entertaining his friends. He would
even lay aside his_work or change some plan
for the day for their sakes. Nothing was too
good for them. His social qualities made his
home attractive. He was full ~ of anecdote
and information on a great variety of sub—
jects. He could talk when others had little
to say. He had the rare gift of making his
guests feel that they had nothing to, do but
to enjoy his open~handed hospitality.
He had a quick insight into human nature,
with great facility of adaptation to all classes.
He looked at all human interests on the prac-
tical side. This at once brought him into
sympathy with men in their daily experien—
ces. He could talk equally well with the
child or with the man, with the rich or with
the poor, with the farmer or with the me-
chanic, with the man of letters or with the
man of affairs. He easily made many friends.
The young were especially ,fond of him, and
he of them. His sympathies, so to speak,
kept up with them. Some one has well said,
that “when we are out of sympathy with the
young, our work in this world is over. It is
a sure sign the heart has begun to wither,and
that is a dreadful kind of old age.”
Few have known under what great physi-
cal infirmities he-has struggled, such a happy
faculty had he of keeping the outside of his
life bright. He rarely spoke of his ill health,
even to his most intimate friends, unless
questioned, and then in the most general
way, quickly dropping the subject.
In order to escape the rigor of our New
England winters he has, with the exception
of the last three years, sought a warmer
climate. He spent several winters in the
south Atlantic States, one in Southerri Cali-
fornia,» and one in Spain and Italy. This
change was always beneficial. '
Since the death of his wife, nearly sixteen
years ago, the tone of his life has been more
subdued. He still loved all the pleasant things
around him, but with a more chastened love.
While he still greeted his old friends with the
same smiling face and kind word, it was
plain to see that there was a little less anima-
tion in 'his manner. He began to narrow
down his activities. He dreaded journeys,
and kept himself much at home. This
change was still more marked after the death
of a fondly loved daughter, three years ago.
This broke another earthly tie, and formed
another between him and Heaven. He had
seen his early friends and associates in the

[Letter from an Aberdeen (11155.) cx-Unionist to
a Holyoke Mnnulacturcr.]
Well, I must 1: ilk politics again. Wm 11 I
came from the woods on the evening of
election, we met numbers of freedmen who
were not permitted to vote. The electicn
was a mere farce. The democrats by armed
force seized two of the heaviest republican
boxes (or as it is at present the independent
party) in the county, and they were not
counted. They also stole the pOll book at
another precinct, so there was no voting
done. They now openly boast that they
will do the same thing next year, and that
they will rule the country in spite of the
d—d Yankees. This is not the language of
the rubble, but of men that boast of their
superiority. I do not know what kind of a
government we have, if they are permitted
to go on in this way. The negroes are (lit-
heartened, and the least encouragement
from the white men would make them
rise up and have.a general massacre. But
this would not do, as they. would afterward
be slaughtered like rats. The democratic
party is banded together here in the nature
of a conspiracy to deprive the negro of his
rights under the constitutional amendments.
The government freed them and did it as a
war measure, and I think they are entitled
to protection. The capitalists of the cast
have some interest in the cotton culture of
the south, but if the negroes are not given
justice they will leave the cotton culture of
the south to grow up ilfieedfi; “bite la-
bor ctinnot cultivate these prairies like the
negroes. It strikes me that the white repub-
licans of the south are entitled to a little
consideration at the hands of the present ad—.
ministration. I am greatly encouraged from
the present rnd recent attitude of the presi—
dent. Hc no doubt meant well, but he did
not know the depth of ingratitudc of these
people. I was very much rejoiced
at the news from the north this evening, and
was glad that Political Demagogne Butler
was defeated. It was a glorious vlctory all
through. We want next' year to swell this
triumph, no matter who the republicans
nominate. If the government will just give
us such protection as will secure a fair elec-
tion and a fair count, we will bury the
“solid south" out Of sight. The “solid south”
is only so by virtue of the “shot gun policy,”
and all other manner' of intimidation. If
the south is solid at all, it is solid republican.
I know you are tired of my writing politics;
but if you were here and witnessed the arro—
gance of these would be aristocrats, it would
make your blood boil. And what are they
but a parcel of slave oversecrs and their pro—
geny? I will close with three cheers for the
republicans of the north, east and west.—
Springfield Republican.
[London Telegraph]
Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson was a great sea
captain, if ever one lived. When, on the 15th
of September, 1805, he hoisted his flag on
board the Victory,and arrived off Cadiz on his
birthday to take ‘command of the Mediterra-
nean fleet, he meant fighting. There was no
suspicion of hesitation in his tactics. The
force under him consisted of twenty-seven sail
of the line and four frigates, which he with—
drew from the vicinity of Cadiz to a station
sixteen or eighteen leagues to the westward,
“in the hope of inducing the one to put
to sea.” These were the days of dash and
manhood, and great must have been Nelson’s
exultation when, on the morning of October
the 2‘st, just at daybreak, the combined
French and Spanish fleets, consisting of thir-
ty—three sail of the line and seven frigates,
were‘seen ahead to the leeward twelve miles.
The Admiral lost no time, for before twelve
the British fleet,in two lines,was bearing down
on the crescent-shaped position of the enemy,
and then itwas that Nelson hoisted the signal,
“England expects that every man will do his
duty.” The only fear was that the enemy
might run for refuge, therefore Nelson noti-
fied to Collingwood. “I intend to pass through
the van of the enemy’s line to prevent him
from' getting into Cadiz.” There was an
aflectionate anxiety about the impetuosity
and determination of the commander,so Capt
Blackwood proposed that the Temeraire
should go ahead of the Victory, in case that
vessel might draw the principal attention of
the enemy’s fire. “0! yes, let her go ahead,”
replied Nelson ; but at the same time he had
clearly no intention of allowing any such
thing,for he would not permit an inch of can-
vas to be taken in, and the Victory continued
to lead the column, closely hugged by the
Temerairc. It was Collingwmd, however,
who began the fight on board the Royal Sov-
ereign, commanding the lee division, and the
ministry, one after another, drop away. A)” feelings of the two brave men at this im~
these things reconciled him to his own dei
parturc. We do not mean to imply that the
evening of his life was unhappy. We never
heard him say that “the former days were '
better than these,” or that he felt himslf
neglected by the present active generation.
On the contrary, he took the lost hopeful
views of the church of Christ, of his coun—
try and of the world. In view of their won-
derful opportunities, he often urged the
young, with great earnestness, to “quit
themselves like men.”
During the last few years hc-lius been rap-
idly ripening for Heaven. Two children
only survive him, a son and a daughter. His
remains were taken to Mouson, where they
sleep by the side of his wife—Congregation-
allot.
GENERAL BUTLER AT HOME —-With all
of General Butler’s political wickedness he
has never had a word breathed against the
purity of his private character. Those who
have been accustomed to think of him as
“Beast” Butler, the spoon thief, and Butler,
the head devil of all public rascals, would be
astonished could they get a glimpse of his
home life, at his gentleness, affection and
generosity. It was a great blow to him
She was the love of
his youth and of his prime. He first saw
her behind the foot-lights, where, as Miss
Hildrctb, she was an actress. . He ‘did not
rest until he had made her acquaintance,
and then did not rest until he had won her.
She skipped about the country and he fol—
lowed her, pressing his suit whenever he
got a chance, and finally captur'ed
his bride in Cincinnati. He was an
exemplary husband. His wife proved
well fitted by nature and education for any
sphere, and their union was a happy one.
Some months ago when he took her to the
Massachusetts general hospital to be operated
on for a cancer in her throat, she died under
the operation in her husband’s sight. A
deep sorrow settled over him, and he has
hardly seemed the same man since. His
daughter, Mrs. Amen, to whom he is de~
votedly attached, is now the feminine spirit
that adds charm and grace to his home.
She accompanies her father to his different
houses, for he has several. He owns a
house in Washington furnished for his own
use, another at Lowell, and a summer house
built of granite‘overlooking Ipswich bay.
IIis actual home, however, is at Lowell,
and is christened Belvedcre.~ He bought
the place twenty—five years ago, and has
since that time greatly beautified it. It re-
sembles an English country—house, and is
in the midst of trees, hedges and vines. It
tands on a hill crowned with trees, and has
a ;broad veranda supported by massive col-
umns. Although General Butler is exceed-
ingly thltily there is no touch of Croesus
in his home—no gilding, no stucco work
tipped with gold leaf, no painting on the
ceilings, It has an atmosphere of home
about it and breathes an individuality of its
odd master. Skins of leopards, tigers, foxes
and sheep are strewn about the hall. The
adornment of the parlors is that of a tasteful
woman and not an upholsterer. No client
can talk business here. The big. brusque
owner bounds through the broad rooms, rc-
veling in the luxury of rest. He works in
Pcmberton Square, Boston, and when the
day is done he slips out of the back alleyway
and starts full tilt for Belvcderc.— from a
New York Letter.
portant' moment found utterance almost at
the same instant. “What would Nelson give
to be here I” exclaimed Collingwood to
Captain Rotheram, and at the same instant,
without a spark of jealousy at the enviable
position of his friend, Nelson observed, “See
how nobly Collingwood carries his ship into
action.” .
But at twenty minutes past noon the Victo-
ry was in the thick of the fight. Scarcely a
minute after the ship got within range, seven
or eight ships opened a terrible and destruc—
tive fire upon her. The Admiral’s secretary,
Mr. Scott, was shot dead,and soon the mizzen
topmast of the Victory was carried away,and
also her wheel, necessitating the process of
steering by the relieving tackles below. Yet
no hail of fire destroyed the dauntless and
dogged courage of Nelson and his sea-dogs.
When a splinter from the fore brace bits
passed between Nelson and Hardy, and tore
away the buckle from the shoe of the latter,
the Admiral only smiled and said, “This is
too warm work to last long, Hardy!” Still,
warm as it was, the English Admiral was
determined to make it hotter. The Victory’s
soils were hanging in ribbands; she had .lost
fully fifty men killed and wounded; but soon
it was her turn to begin. Determined 'to
pass under the stern of the Bucentaure as the
only mode of breaking the line, the Vic—
tory’s helm was put hard a port, and there
was scarcely space for her to go clear.
Sailing close to the larboard side of the Bu-
centaure, the Victory poured in such a well-
directed and tremenduous broadside that the
French ship heeled two or three streaks on
receiving it. All this time Nelson was pa-
cing the quarter deck with' Hardy, their
walk being bOunded aft by the wheel, and
forward by the companion ladder. The dis-
tance was only about twenty-five feet, and it
was here, when the Redoubtable brought up,
that the fatal bullet struck Nelson. He'fell
on his knees just where Mr. Scott had fallen,
and said, “They have done for me at last,
Hardy; my backbone is shot through.” The
victory was all but gained when Nelson was
compelled to go below. In that dreadful
moment he thought of his men, and caused
his face and his stars to be cOvered by his
handkerchief in order that he might pass un-
noticed by the crew.
Peach Culture,
The revival of peach-raising in New En-
gland has reached 3 importance as to
merit, attention and c loudly for further
efforts. The fact mentioned recently that a
Hartford gentleman succeeded in raising fine
specimens of the fruit, is not an isolated in-
stance. The stores here even have had
Connecticut peaches for sale this season.
Some beautiful fruit from Granby was sold
on Asylum street the other day—both Rare—
ripes and Crawfords. A Hartford gentle-
men, wliosc residence is in Buckland,
(Manchester), has, this year, picked bushels
of large and most delicious peaches on his
place. And these are only illustrations of
the fact that peach culture is reviving among
us. The soil has its time of raising certain
crops and its time, of repudiating them.
Peaches, twenty—five years ago, were as
plenty about here as apples, and then they
disappeared. Now it is possible, for them to
return and we look for a steady increase.—

THE NEW YURI-I TRIBUNE for I880.
During the coming Presidental year TIIE T111-
DUNE Will be a more effective agency than ever
for telling the news-best worth knowmg, and for
enforcing sound politics. From the day the war
closed it Ins been most anxious for an end of
sectional strife. But it saw two years ago, and
was the first persistently to proclaim the new
danger to the country from the revived alllapco
of the Solid South and Tammany Hall. Against
that dangerlt sought to rally the old party. of
Freedom and the Union. It began by demanding
the aliondment ol personaldislikcs, and set the
example. ltcalledf‘oran end to attacks upon
each other instead of the enemy: and for the
hcarticst agreement upon whatever fit candidates
the majority should put up against the common
the. Since then the tide of disaster has been
turned back; eevry doubtful State has been won,
and the omens for National victory were never
more cheering.
THE TRIBUNE’S PGSITION.
Ui"1‘lin ’l‘uxnuxa‘s share in all this, those speak
most enrhuslastieally who have seen most of the
struggle It will faithfully portruy_thc varying
phases of the campaign now beginning. It ”1111
earnestly strive that the party of 1' reedom,UnIon
and the Public Faith may select the man surest
to win, and surest to ma '0 a good Presidentllut
in this crisis it can conceive oi"no nomuiatIon
tlils party could make that would not be prefer
able to the best that could possibly be supported
by the Solid South and Tammany Hall.
Trill TnIBUNE is new spending more labor and
money than ever before to hold the distinction
it has long enjoyed of the largest circula-
uou union: the best people. It secured.
and means to retain it. by becoming the medium
of the best thought and the voice of the best con-
science of the time, by keeping abreast of the
highestprogress,1avoring the trout discussmn,
hearing all sides, appealing alwa s to the best
intelligence and the purest moral ty, and refus-
ing to cater to the tastes of the VIle or the prom
dices of‘ the ignorant.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
The distinctive features of Tun TRIBUNE are
known to everybody. It gives all the news. It
has the best correspondents, and retains them
from year to year. It is the only paper that malnv
tainsa special tele ruphic Who of its own .be-
tween its oiliccant Washington. Its scieptlflc,
literary, artistic and religiousintelligence Is the
fullest. Its book reviews are the best. Its com—
mercial and financial news is the most exact, Its
type is the largest; and its arrangement the
most systematic.
THE SEMI—WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
is by far the most successful Semi—Weekly in the
country, having four tImes the circulation of any
other in New York. ltis specmlly adapted to
the large class of‘intolligent, professronal or bus-
iness readers too far from New York to depend
on our papers for the daily news, who neverthe-
less want the editorials, correspondence, book
reviews, sci entiflc matter, lectures, literary mis-
cellany, etc.. for which Tim TRIBUNE is famous.
Like The WEEKLY it contains Sixteen pages,and
is in convenient form for binding.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
remains the great favorite of our substantial coun-
try population, and has the largest circulation of
any weekly issued from the office of a Daily pa-
per in New York, or, so far as we know. in the
United States. It revises and condenses all the
news of the week into readable shape. Its agri-
cultural department is more carefully conducted
than over, and it has always been considered the
best, Its market reports are the ofliclal standard
for the Dairymen’s Association, and have long
been the recognized authority on cattle, grain
and general eonnrty produce. There are special
departments for the young,and for household in—
terests ; the new handiwork department, already
extremely popular, gives urine by accurate and
comprehensive Instructions I _ IttIng, crochet-
lng and kindred subjects ; while poetry, fiction
and the humors of the day are all abundantly sup-
plied. The verdict of the tens ofthousnnds of
old readers who have returned to It durlng the
past year is thI-t they find it better than ever. In-

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and. which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made. . ,
1st. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK”
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and. kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly looking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron', being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGED CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel looks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Looxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED INSIDE,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre-
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have Timur.
FLANGE instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved 'at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed, those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal—
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist usin dom-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes; and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we behaved that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believingthat, especially in»
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
. contents from fire.

produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

Some N atiOnal History—The
‘ Editor.
“What ferOciolls looking animal is this r"
“This is the canon-1’
“Indeed! are they very dangerous 1’"
“Sometimes. When cornered up they have
been known to be quite combativc,and again
they have been known to go through a con—
venient back window. Generally they are
mild and passive.”
“When are they most dangerous 2"
“When intruded upon by a book agent who
wants a forty-line local for a seventy-five
cent book, or by a poet with verses about a
gentle spring.”
“Are editors cross to each other ?”
“Only when separated by several blockso
buildings." ‘
“Do they often have fearful combats with
each other 1’" .
“Occasionally, when they go out in oppo
site directions and come upon each other by
accident.”
“Are editors ever cowhided ?”
“Sometimes the small ones are, but the big
ones are very rarely molested. "
"Do editors eat 1’” . -
“They do. It was formerly supposed that
they ate at long intervals and upon rare occa—
sions, but it is now a well authenticated fact
that they can eat a great deal when they can
get it.”
“What kind of food do they like most ?”
“They are not very particular; While they
won’t refuse quail on toast, fried crab, or
roast turkey about Christmas time, they have
been known to make a hearty repast on a
small dish of cold turnips and a consumptive
herring.”
“Can they eat concert tickets ?"
“We believe not. Some persbns have gain-
ed this erroneous impression from false teach-
Ing in early life,but no authenticated instance
of such a thing is on record.”
“Do editors go free into shows 1’”
“They do when they give dollar and a half
locals for a twenty-five cent ticket.”
“Are all editors bald like this one P”
“No; only the married ones are bald. But
let us pass on, the editor does not like to be
stored at.” ‘
A Quick Eye for Business.
As one of the most prominent young bur-
glnrs of San Francisco was walking out of
court the other day just after having secured
an acquittal regarding his latest job by a
prompt and business-like “divvy” with the
powers that be at the usual rates,a well-to do
but anxious looking. stranger touched his arm
and beckoned him into a doorway.
“You are ‘Teddy, the Ferret,’ aren’t you,”
asked the gentleman. “the man who was tried
tO-day for safe cracking ?3'
‘ “Well, wot of it ?” replied the house—
breaker.
“Why, just this-yon’ll excuse my speaking
so low—but the facts is I’ve come all the way
from the San Joaquin to look up a party in
your line of business."
“—Have, ehl”
“Yes—I—well, I’ve a little proposition to
make to you.” ,
“Exactly," said the Ferret,calmly; “you’re
a bank cashier down in the foot-hills."
“How did you know that f” stammered the
gentleman, much amazed.
“And your cash and accounts are to be
gone over by the directors on the first,and as
you can't realize on your stocks, you want
me to gag you some time‘ next week, about
your hat full of holes,find the combination in
your breast pocket and. go through the safe
in the regular wag”.
"Great heavens, man [how did yoxfflnd all
that out 1’" "
“Why, I guessed it. It’s the regular thing,
you know. Get three orders to attend to
ahead of yours now. Lemme see. Can’t do
anything for you next week, but might give
you Wednesday or Thursday of the week
after. How will that suit you f”
The cashief said henhougbt he could make .
that do, and in less-than five minutes they
had struck a bargain and arranged the whole
affair. ;

her once. She dropped her knitting, and a
dreamy look crept over her. placid eyes.
“Yes,” she said at length, "I have. Ten
years ago, when my dear dead sister was

Island by the steamer, Oh! he could play

my Sister says to me, ‘Let us go down to the

—Harper’s‘for December.
It is related that General Scott’s famous
letter to Zachary Taylorannouncing the with-
drawal of most of the regular troops from
Taylor’s command to be placed underhis own
in a projected movement from Vera Cruz
toward the capital of Mexico, was received
while General Taylor was at supper with his
staff near Monterey. The General asked
Colonel Bliss to read it to him. He had just
replenished his cofiee cup, and was engaged
in cooling it with a spoon while the reading
went on. This appeared to make no further
impression upon him than that indicated by
a contemptuous “sniff,” but as the' real im-
port of the letter began to appear his whole
manner changed, and he abstractedly dipped
the spoon into a bowl of mustard, which sat
upon the table, and stirred it in the coffee.
This be repeated until by the time the read-'
ing of the letter was finished, the contents
of the the mustard bowl were exhausted.
Without saying a word, and to Bliss’s aston—
ishment and horror he raised the cup to his
lips and gulped down the whole abominable
compound. He then broke out into an ex-
cited and profane harangue, consigning to
everlasting damnation every one concerned
in the proposed depletion of his forces, and
only ceasing when his ech was overtaken
with a parox'ysm of st tering, which, with
him, usually followed a violent outbreak of
temper. The Colonel felt sure from the
amount of mustard he had swallowed com-
bined with the intelligence he had received,
it would infallibly sicken him, but nothing
uncommon came' of it. “Ratsbane at that
moment,” said Bliss, “would, I am convinc—
ed, have had no more effect upon‘the stom-
ach of Mithridates.” General Pleasanton,
who commanded the General’s escort in
Mexico, says that when once thoroughly
aroused he was the maddest man he ever
saw—mad from the crown of his hat to the
soels of his heels. ‘

very lively. A Mr. Campbell sat beside the
