"MARCUS DWIGHT LARROWE, New York City, son of John and Elizabeth (Holmes) Larrowe, was born at Cohocton, Steuben County, N. Y., May 5, 1832. He entered our class at the beginning of Sophomore year.
"After graduation he was a student in the Yale Law School until February, 1856, when he was admitted to the Connecticut bar. In May, 1856, he settled as a lawyer in New York City, and continued his residence there until the fall of 1859, when he was absent for some months in the West on business. In the spring of 1861, Larrowe moved to Nevada, and was there engaged in the practice of his profession.
"In the spring of 1863 he was appointed District Attorney of the Territory, residing at Carson City. In August, 1863, he was elected a member of the constitutional convention, and under the constitution then made, Judge of the Supreme Court.
"He never held the position, however, as the Court failed to receive the ratification of the people.

He married Miss Mina Churchman, daughter of James Churchman, Esq., of Austin, Nevada, August 16, 1864." Template:Smaller/e
ADDENDA.
A recent advertisement announces a new book on Memory and a new System. The author, William L. Evans, has been "Loisette's" right-hand man at 237 Fifth Avenue ever since the latter began his career in this country, and, judging from his first advertisement, one would say that the well-known modesty of his master and teacher had not been lost upon him. Though a young man of but "thirty summers," and only four years out of college, Mr. Evans modestly says of himself and his own work:
"Here is a book written by a scholar and a practical teacher. It is just what men have been seeking for centuries. We admire Mr. Evans' efforts to raise the tone of the subject and to present it in a manner which cannot fail to secure confidence. His methods are based upon sound psychological principles clearly explained.
"Mr. Evans is a man of thirty summers, agreeable in manner, and a fluent speaker. At an early age he won a Queen's scholarship at Borough Road Normal College, London, and distinguished himself as a teacher. In his subsequent four years' course at the University of Glasgow he proved himself a thinker of no mean calibre, being a prize man in mental philosophy and taking his degree in three departments in 1884."
Whether this is the Loisette System in disguise or a new and independent method of greater or less merit remains to be seen. Perhaps it should not excite surprise that the disciple should ape the master in view of the phenomenal success of the latter.
