A VETERAN GRADUATE. II Among the
Alumni who gathered Wednesday at Harvard
was the venerable DIR. Walton, the son of Dea.
Walton of Cambridge, where he was born in
l770. He vas in this town on the Lexington
Day of 1875, and remembers being with his
father in the morning as he was preparing car
tridges for the struggle on that day and how
about eleven o'clock in the forenoon his father
took him to see the militia who were about
setting out for Lexington They assembled
around clergyman, who stood on hogshead
as he prayed with them. DIR. Walton resided
in Pepperell when Col. Prescott, who COM
manded at Bunker Hill, was buried and 1t
fell to his lot to do the friendly office of Mas
ter OF Ceremonies at the funeral 1t was large
and imposing, being attended not only by the
citizens of Peppere, but by citizens from
neighbOring towns. DIR. Walton knew Col.
Prescott intimately, and talks in warm terms
of the manlness Of his form, the urbanity of
his manner, the probity of his character, and
the affection entertained for him by his neigh
bors and townsmen DR.. Walton, now in his
elghty-ninth year, is the Oldest graduate of
Harvard, with the exception of Hon Josiah

LETTER OF DANIEL Il. SIcKLEs.-M Mr..
Slckles has communicated to the public let
ter in relation to the affairs of his family,
and their recent reconciliation, of which he
speaks as follows:
MY reconciliation with my wife was my
own act, done without consultation with any
relative, connection, friend or adviser. What
ever blame, If any, belongs to the step, should
iail alone upon me. am prepared to defend
what have done before the only tribunals |
recognize as having the slightest claim to juris-
dlcuon over the subject-my own conscience
and the bar of Heaven. ] am not aware of
any statute, or code of morals, which makes
IL infamous to forgive a woman not is it usu-
al to make our domestic life subject of con
sultaton with friends, no matter how near and
dear to us. And / cannot allow even the
whole world combined TO dictate the repudia-
ton OF my wife, when think it right to for
give her, and restore her to my confidence and
protection.
II ever failed to comprehend the utterly
desoate position Of an offending though peni-
tent woman-the hopeless future, with all its
dark possibilities of danger, to which she is
doomed when prescribed AS an outcast-I can
now see plainly enough, in the almost unver-
sal howl OF denunciation with which she is
followed to my threshold, the misery and per.

ARRIVAL OF THE HARVARD BoATs.-Yes-
terday afternoon two of the Harvard College
boat clubs arrived here, bringing with them
the six-oared boats "Avon'' and Harvard"
which have been selected to sustain the repu-
tation of "Old Harvard" in the regatta next
week. The Harvard boat is the same one
that has become famous for its triumphs. The
new Harvard, which is lighter, and the "crack"
boat is left behind, the crew proferring to pull
without coxswan.
Quite company went down, by invitation
of Mr.. Firth, on the extra train which carried
the boats to Davis's cottage, at which place
the boats were launched on Lake Quinsiga-
mond. Two extra boats took the luggage,
and the crews of the race boats, then
started for the other end of the lake, exhibit
| ing some scientific rowing to the landsmen.
| They were escorted to the race ground by the
Atlanta club of this city, who came up to
receive them.
To-day the Yale Club is expected, also Mr.
Clark of Boston with his shell az Esperance.
The Harvard students express themselves well
pleased with the race ground. To-day the
turning point will be made apparent, and
untilnext Tuedsay the clubs will practice on the
course. The students adhere rigidly to their
peculiar diet and practice constantly. AS
running is a part of their discipline they will
not mind the two mile walk to the Pond. Both
the Harvard boats are entered for the trial on
! the 9th as well as on the Goth.
The Harvard club are domiciled at the Bay
State House. The Yale and Brown clubs will
have rooms at the Lincoln House.

The "STANDING" RULE IN THE SUPERIOR
CoURT.-n the Superior Court, Thursday
forenoon, Hon. John c. Park was proceeding
to interrogate a witness while seated at his ia
Bile, when Judge Brigham reminded him of the
new rule (requiring counsel to stand during the
examination of witnesses). Mr.. Park replied
that he was not aware that any such rule had
as yet been officially promulgated, and called
upon the Clerk (NIr Phillips) to read the reg
ulations OF the Court in his possession.
The Clerk produced his certified copy, when
10 the word standing" was not to be found
The Judge sent for the "ClerE of the Superior
Court for the Commonwealth" for an explana
ton, and it finally appeared that clerical
omission had been made in furnishing a copy
of the original rules for printing. The mis-
take caused considerable amusement, and Mr.
Park gracefully submitted, in Difference to the
Court, to the rule as intended, waving further
legal adjustment
Before proceeding, however, Mr.. Park ear
nestly entered his public protest against the es-
adjustment of such rule, on the ground that
it was derogatory to the respect due to the
members Of the Bar, and that its tendency
would in many cases be to hinder them from
doing justice to their clients, by preventing
counsel from taking notes of important testi-
mony that might otherwise slip their minds in
addressing tHe tdTy. Lie RUE SeeinGu 10 DC
an attempt to secure brief examinations of wit
nesses through the wedknesS Of limb on the part
of counsel-a proposition not worthy of adop-
ton in any tribunal in free country. He had
practised at the Bar for SO years, and emo
such rule had ever before been made in any of
our courts. He respectfully asked of the court
what was the cause and reason of its adoption
at the present time He did this individually
and at the outset of the new practice because
there was no organized association of the Bar
through which any communication could be
made to the Court in another form.
Judge Brigham replied that, with all due re-
spect for the Bar, he did not feel bound to re-
spond to the interrogatory that had just been
addressed to him. nor did he, as a single men,
Der of the Bench, feel at liberty to do so. The
rule had been adopted by the Judges, and
propriety, it was his duty and province here
to require its fulillment He would note the
protest which had been made, and if it was
desired, bring it to the attention of his col
leagues at their next meeting.-Boston Tran

A sad and fatal accident happened on the
night of the 18th inst, at the St Nicholas Ho-
tel. New Orleans. A young gentleman from
New York, Mr.. IL. A. Gillette, suffering from
the excessive heat felt indoors, went out on
the portco to enjoy the cool of the night lie
fell asleep, and probably under the effects of
somnambulism or Of half conscious sleep, he
got up, and attempting to reach his room, mis-
took his way and fell over the iron railing into
the street below. lie was picked up insensibe,
and dresifully injured, and was conveyed to
the hospital, where he died soon after his ar

The KANSAS CONSTITUTIONAL CoNvEN-
TIoN.-The Preamble and Bill of Rights now
before this Convention, which has been briefly
noticed by telegraph, secures the right of trial
by jury to persons Of every condition, excludes
slavery and involuntary servitude from the
State, except only for the punishment of
crime; excludes religious and property tests
from the exercise of all civil privileges and of
fees; establishes the freedom of speech and of
the press; forbids Imprisonment for debt ex-
cept in cases of fraud gives to for
eigners, who become reside nts of the State
equal rights with native citizens, with
regard to holding property and provides
that no hereditary honors or emolunaaCts
shall be ever granted by the State, and that no
constitutional distinctions shall be made on ac.
count ofsect or sex. The bill is likely to elicit
a warm discussion, and may be modified in its
details; but it has evidently been prepared
with care and with a full sense of the temper
and purpose of the convention.

lis from which l have rescued the mother OF
my child. And although it is very sad for me
to incur the blame of friends and the reproach-
es of many wise and good people, shall
strive to prove to all who feel any interest
in me- that if l am the first man who has
ventured to say to the world an erring wife
and mother may be forgiven and redeemed,
that in spite of all the obstacles in my path,
the good results of this example shall entitle
it to the imitation of the generous and the
commentator of the just.
There are many who think that an act of
duty, proceeding solely from affections which
can only be comprehended in the heart of a
husband and father is to be fatal to my pro-
fessional, political and social standing. If this
be so, then so be it. Political station, profess
sional success, social recognition, are not the
only prizes of ambition; and | have seen
enough of the world in which | have moved,
and read enough of the lives of Others to teach
me that, if one be patient and resolute, it is the
man himself who indicates the place he will
occupy, and so long as | do nothing worse
than to reunite my family under the roof
where they may find shelter from cOntumely
and persecution, | do not fear the noisy but
fleeing voice of popular clamor. The multi
tude accept their first impressions from few ;
bnt in the end men think for themselves and
think that in career of mingled sunshine and
storm L have sounded nearly all its depths
| may reassure those who look with reluctant
foebodings upon my future, to be of good
cheer, for will not cease to vindicate just
claim to the respect of my fellows while to
those motley groups, here and there, who look
upon my misfortunes only as weapons to be
employed for my destruction to those | say,
once tor all, if man make good use of his
enemies they will be as serviceable to him as
his friends.
In conclusion let me ask only one favor of
those who, from whatever motive may deem
it necessary or agreeable to comment in public
or private upon this sad history and that is,
to aim all their arrows at my breast, and for
the sake of my innocent child to spare her yet
youthful mother, while she seeks in sorrow
and contrition the mercy and the pardon of
Him to whom, sooner or later, we must all
appeal"
