pendent Of the Philadelphia Enquirer,
speaking Of the undated energies Of Mr..
Benton, even in hi. dying hours, says:
81 have now before me one Of hi. char.
aeteri.tie notes, written only day or two
ago, addressed to n gentleman who furnish
ed him with books to which he wishes to re-
fer. The body Of the note eyinces his rodu-
ced physical condition, bu, his signature is
equal to that Of his best days. l, reads as
follows
"Dear Sir am out OF material. |
want some moro volumes. II you have no.
60. them, please come and SEQ me and lie,
US consult toge,her-for cannot stop.
Yours truly, TnosAs II. BESroS."
Is not this wonderful IN a man perpet.
ually conscious that the next breath he
draws may be his last''
In his dying hours, Col. Benton had the
faithful attendance OF bis daughter Mrs.
Carey Jones, who resided with him in
Washington. Another daughter, Mrs. ia
cobs OF Kentucky, arrived to zee him
on Thursday. His two remaining children
were absent, Mrs. Fremont having gone
to California, after parting with hun
month ago, not experimenting that he was
in critical condition and Madame Boil
eau, being in Calcutta, the wife Of the
French Consul General there. Mrs. Ben
ton died in 1854, having been struck with
paralysis in 1874, and from the time Of that
calamity her husband was never known to
