After one Of John Randolph's peculiar
speeches. which he intcrlardcd with copious
quotations of Latin and Greek, Kremer rose
and, in Il strain of well acted Indignation.
poured forth torrent of Pennsylvania
German upon the head of the amazed and
startled Randolph. His violent gcsticul..
tons, his loud and bo;stcrous tones. his de
iiant manner. were not more annoying Ia
the imperlous Southerncr than the fact that
he could not understand word that was
spoken. And when boncst George took his
seat, covered with perspiration. Randolph
arose and begged the honorable gentleman
fiom Pennsylvania to enlightcn the House
and the country by TRANSMITTING what he Lad
just uttered. Kremcr retorted us follows:
II have only to say In reply 10 my friend
from Virginia that when he translates the
dead languages he is constantly using tor
the benefit of us country members. into
something like English, I will be equally
liberal in 'ranslating my living Pennsylvania
Dutch into something that the house can
understand" The laugh was completely
against Randolph. -Forney's Recollectioms.

and his sunny hair grows low down upon u
broad forehead His whiskers and nous
tachc are lighter and ilossier even than his
hair, and barely conceal very sensitive
mouth. His eyes are violet in shade. and
SD in expression. lie speaks little. and
smiles seldom; dresses very quietly, though
slightly in the Pacific style, with y scarle,
necktie. and boots outside his trousers. He
was born in Indiana, i. seems, thirty years
ago-ihc father, Hulins Miller. emigra,ed,
somewhere in Kansas times, to Oregon. and
settled near Eugene City IN Larc County.
For some years prvious to 1859 go, JOAQUIN

wild life; after he returned to Oregon he
went to school, studied law . little, ran
