aBITuARY ELoouENeE.

The following beautiful and we'll con-
ceived remarks of Hon. John L. Daw-
son, Representative in Congress from
Pennsylvania, on the life and character
of the lamented Senator Solomon Foot,
of Vermont, which we take from the
Congressional Globe Of April 13, deserve
to be ranked among the very best speei-
mems of this style of eloquence
Mr.. DAWSON. l rise, Mr.. Speaker, to
second the resolution of the gentleman
from Vermont.
In the discharge of public duty che
paths of the Senator and Represen Gatdye
of necessity lie measurably apart. Nest
of Mr.. FOOt's political convictions were
not mine. With many obstacles ia the
way of intimate relations, either private
or official, cannot, of course, reveal
those finer and higher qualities of his Ha-
ture, which great spirits like his never
parade before the world, and display only
upon impulse to the most sincere and at
fectiouate of friends. But L know of him
what all men knew of him, and esteem
it as a privilege, which any man might
seek, to add my voice to the universa
exclamations of sorrow which his death
has wrung from every part of the land
It is unnecessary to repeat here Mr.
FoOt's long and arduOus services In pub
lie places. The country Is familiar with
his record. 1t is enough that his own State
kept him so long in the Senate that at the
close of his life he was regarded as the
father Of the body-ths oldest of all in
continuous service. ii mingled In those
debates of the Senate which the common

! He sat under the impetuous eloquencC
! of Clay, the terse and severe logic of Cal

the insurgent States by the act Of rebel
lion had committed suicide, and should
be treated as conquered provinces or ter
ritories Then it was argued by some
distinguished Congressman that the pub
lie safety imperatively demanded that this
condition should be imposed upon them
all ; but those propositions are not now
argued in Congress and do not think
that In the future we shall hear them de-
bated. see in this fact a steady and en-
couraging advance toward practical adj
justment; and may we not reasonably hope
these concessions were made with a view
to securing reconciliation satisfactory and
full, that shall be alike consistent with the
loyalty and patriotism both Of the Execu-
tive and of Congress. Every oonsidera-
tiOn of patriotism and wisdom favOEs such
a result The work Of restoration calls
for every concession authorized by the
] will not doubt that this
will be made, and the results
Of the war by which the nation was pre-
served will be secured and perpetuated on
the basis Of peace and concord between
the people of all sections Of our country.

ton and justice, soothing and subduing
the vengeful feelings of the time, fell
like the voice Of that "Old man eloquent"
under the gates of Troy.
Though he was gifted with remarkable
hrmness Of purpose, and his mind had a
sort Of Roman Vigor, he was emlnentiy a
good and eminently a mild man. 1t may
be said that he combined the modesty Of
a woman with the constant integrity Of
Cato. Of Mr.. Foot's moral character l
need only say that it was without and
above reproach. He was fearless aud de-
termined in the assertion Ofa right, but
he was equally careful of the rights of
others No lure and no force could re-
duee or drive him to the preparation Of
that which he knew to be wrong. He
had that judicial cast of mind which con-
strains its pOsessor to analyze thoroughly
with patience and perseverance whatever
is submitted for decision, and to elimin-
ate with uneFring precision all the ele-
ments of evil. If he had not been a great
Senator he would have been a great
judge.
The circumstances Of Mr.. FOots de-
partuFe from this life were oftOo sacred
and halloWing a nature to be detailed
here. Conscious that dissolution was
rapidly approaching, he showed the high
qualities of his character in the religious
warmer and stronger as he died. To the
very latest moment he shed upon all who
entered his presence the inspirations Of
rare and enlightened soul.
The last parting glance Of the eXpir-
ing Senator was turned to the dome Of
this Capitol. He begged to be lifted that
he might see il once more-the scene of
| his labors, the spot where he had gained
| the veneration Of his cOuntrymen-and
then closed his eyes on the earth forever.
/ It was the exhibition of the same patriotic
/ fervor SO eloquently expressed by Web
ster IN his reply to Hayne. He rejoiced
! to see that the flag was still there, full
| high advanced, " the emblem of our na-
tionality and the Union of the States.
/ Mr.. Foot has gone to his grave in the
same soil with that other pure and hon
Ored Senator of Vermont who peceeded
him but few months. It is said that
amid the mighty mountains freedom loves
! to rear her brave and sturdy children.
! But no mountains on the globe, not even
those Of Scotland which overlook the
grave of Bruce, or those Of Switzerland,
/ which cast their shadows over that Of
William Tell, have ever kept sentry over
| the tombs of two nObler men or harder
patriots than do the Green Mountins of
] Vermont.

THE FRUTr N CALIFORNIA.

A correspondent Of the New York
Tribune, writing from San Francisco
says.
1.-THE fruits of California, unequaled in
variety and luxuriouBness, are OF sur
passing riches. Trees are twice as large
as in New York or Ohio at the same age.
In one year the cherry has grown four
teen feet high, the pear ten feet, and the
stems Of peach trees three inches IN di-
ameter. One peach tree a year from the
bud grew eight feet high, with a trunk
circumference of eight and half inches.
A peach twig a foot long stuck in the
ground in 1853, bore fruit the next year.
The apple tree bears In the second OF
third year from the bud, and apples have
been exhibited weighing two and half
pounds. Distinctly q Northern fruit,
however, requiring a cold climate, ID has
not the pungent flavor which New Eng
land and Oregon impart. But the enor-

profusion, have q peculiarly rich and gen
erous taste, that fingers lovingly on the

On tie Death Of ILrs. DegiEG7s Smith.
BY C. E. SMITH.

Our mother is gone to the home of the blest,
Her spirit, now happy, forever shall rest
No trials or sOrrows to her shall arise,
For she dwells with the holy in Gods
Paradise.
We loved her as children a mother should
And promised to meet heri in heaven above,
And join with our brothers whO'Ye passed
on before,
Who are waiting to welcome US home to
that shore.
o, why should linger, my anchor is staid;
Dear Lord, let me 90 where my treasure
is laid;
This earth has no pleasures or joys for me,
Then take me away, dearest Saviour, to
thee.
pered, farewell,
I'm going, Pm going with Jesus to dwell;
III cross the dark valley and shadow Of
death,
I long to be lying where Jesus has lain,
Freed from this earth with its sorrow and
Ny sins that were many are now all
forgiven,
And clear is my pathway that leads up to
heaven
The Saviour has wiped all the tears from
my eyes,
And home has provided for me in the
skies;
And now am going to that blessed home,
She whispered 'LOrd Jesus, come quickly,
do come"
She whispered again, "ny dear children,
farewell
Believe in the Saviour and all viii be well. p
She breathed a few times and hersOu1 took
its flight,
Away to that home of eternal delight.

SEWING MACHINES!

rpHE GROVER 4 BAKER ELASTIC
IL Stitch Sewing Machines are superior 10 all
others for the following reasons;
Il They sew direct from the spools, and require
no rewindRg of thread;
2 They are more easily understood and used.
and les liable to arrangement than other ma
b They are capable of executing perfectly.
without change of adjustment, much greater
variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines Is much
more firm. elastic and durable, especially upon
articles which require to be washed and ironed.
than any other stitch.
s. This stitch. owing to the manner in which
the under thread is inwrought, Is much the
most plump and beautiful in use. and retains
This plumpness and beauty even upon articles
frequently washed and ironed until they are
worn out 81,
8. The structure of the seam is such that.
though il be cut or broken at intervals Of only
a few stitches, il will neither open, run or ravel,
but remains firm and durable,
Z. Unlike other machines, these fasten bofn
ends Of the seam by their own operation.
s. With these machines. while silk is used
upon the right or face side of the seam, cotton
may be used upon the other side without lessen
ing the strength or durability Of the seam. This
can be done on no other machine, and is great
saving upon all articles stitched or made up
3. These machines, in addition to their supe-
rior merits as instruments for sewing, by
change of adjustment, easily learned and prac-
ticed execute the most beautiful and perma-
nent embroidery and ornamental work.
