whose melancholy death at Ryde, Isle OF Wight,
England, stirred such profound sy mpathy on both
sides Of the Atlantic, took place yesterday at Trinity
church. very large congregation, composed OF
the wealth and respectabity Of tie CITY, attended.
There were probably 1000 persons present to wit
ness the funeral ceremonial. The members Of the
Chamber OF Commerce were largely repre-
sented and also the presidents Of banks
and insurance companies. Many venerable
faces and heads whtened with the hoar Of time were
recognizable In the congregation There was evil
dent In the distinguished assemblage q profound
feeling Of sympathy-a subdued yet deep sense Of
the untimely end which Mr.. 'Grinuel met in all the
flower Of his vigorous manhood and with powers
OF intellect which those who knew him could
well and fully appreciate. OLD friends of his
were among the congregation, those who knew
him from bOyhood upwards and in the silent
moments intervening between the performance Of
the sad rites OF Christian burial loving eyes streamed
with tears and sorrow was depicted on many q
any form The Services of the Enscon al bnrch
were performed by Rev. DR.. Dix OF Trinity, assisted
by Rev. DR.. Nuremberg, OF St. Luke's Hospital, and
Rev. Dr. Cook, OF ST. BarthOlOmews church. The
services were brief, but impressive. No sermon
was devered-the death OF the deceased was q SER
IuOn Ill l6etI. stronger IMAM words could
do to the uncertainty or existence, TO the vanity OF
human hopes, to the instability Of life and to the
thousand dangers that crowd the path Of humanity.
1t was plain, unpretentlous funeral. There were
no pallbearers, and the coffin was followed only by
the immediate reatives-the father, uncles and
cousins OF the deceased. Only two females attended,
who were understood to be distanty related. The
casket which contained the body was OF oak, with
brass ornaments, the same IN which 1t was enclosed
In England. There were, besides, leaden and
wooden coflin-the weight altogether being about

ANOTHER RETURNED WAsHoEITE--The
whole printing fraternity on the Pacific
Coast knows John Booth. With his
little family nicely settled in California,
he worked faithfully at sticking type in
that State, aud l%atterly in this for years,
until having accumulated quite a little
raise, be went back with his family TO
Illinois, there to settle down for life.
He started q newspaper there, aud ran
it awhile, but somehow things didn't
suit either him or his family, and they
began to long for the scent of the sage
brush, and the balmy breezes of the
Pacific Coast once more. Booth has
come back. He called on US this morn
ing, with the old.time friendly smile
and grasp Of the hand. He will pros
pect for a fresh location for his family,
aud have them out again in the spring.
In common with a small army Of other
friends, we say welcome, welcome back
again.

wsbstsr's Retaining Fee.

7
p. c., Jr." sends the following anecdote OF
Daniel Webster to the New York Ledger:
One day gentleman from New Bedford
waited upon Mr. Webster, in his Office on
Court street, wishing to engage him for the
defense in an important case at law. The Wis
itor himself was the defendant and the amount
at stake in the suit was from sixty to seventy
thousand dollars. He presented all the i'm.
Portant points, and MIR. Webster was willing
to undertake the task. But the client could
not tell exactly when the case would come on.
very well, said Mr.. Webster, '.if YOU wish
TO retain me for the defense in this suit, I will
hold myself in readiness, and will not engage
for the plaintiff'
The gentleman asked the amount of the fee.
"A thousand dollars"
"a thousand dollars?"
See what engage to do, sir. not only
hold myself at your command perhaps for a
month or more, but l debar myself from ac-
cepting any oher, no matter how large, from
the plaintiff" -,
thousand dollars and gave it TO the great e1-
FOUNDER.
And now, SIR" said Daniel, after he had
put the check in his pocket, "I will give you
a bit of advice gratis. II you can compromise
this business upon fair terms with the plaintiff,
you had better do So
The client acknowledged his thanks and then
eNpA the Cneck 10 the
bank, where it was duly honored
On the very next day the gentleman from
New Bedford called upOn Mr.. Webster again
The plaintiff WAS i'll Boston-had come on the
previous day on purpose to compromise-and
a CO npromise had been effected.
I'm short, said the client, 1--WE have made
a fair and satisfactory settlement"
Mr.. Webster was very glad; and having 80
expressed himself, and duly congratulated his
visitor, he would have turned TO other bust.
ness; but the visitor seemed To have something
further on his mind-something that made
Him restiye and uneasy.
''Of course, " he ventured, after a pause, II
shall not require Your services, Mr.. Webster"
Certainly not, sir"
"And-and-how about the thousand dol.
lars paid you?" family qucricd the gentle.
man, who could not See the propriety of pay
ing such sum for services which were never
to be rendered.
"O-ah, responded Dqniel, with a bland
smile, lyon don't seem to understand. It's
very simple. That was n retaining fee-called.
in law, a retainer. By virtue of the contract

tain If not my fec?"
And the gentleman from New Bedford went
away thoroughly instructed in the legal signi-
ication of retainer.
