When Daniel Webster had reached the
very top.most height Of his fame. after his
great speech in reply to Colonel Hayne. Of
SouthC arolins-thes speech commonly known
a. his constitutional Speech"-he paid .
visit to his old home in New Hampshire, the
neigbborhood of his boyish years and his
first manly aspirations and strugglings. A
wsll-known citizen was his companion. AZ
ter going up the rough mountain roads for
q good long while, Webster pointed out the
nearness Of the old parental roof-tree.
''Tbere," said he, sis neighbor" We
will cali him-''there's our old nsighbor
Jones. I'll stop and talk with him, and
zee If he knows me-" So Mr.. Webster got
out of the wagon and walked on ahead.
Soon he met the old man Jones, and "Psss-

raj New England. Webster walked lszily,
loiteringly along the road, and 6aaIly turn

The b,ief announcement Of Col. L. u.
Foster appointment to the office OF L. 3.
Judse. made vacan, by Judge Delahay's re-
signation, was wholly unexpected IN this
quarter. The contest for that life situation,
with i- comfortably salary and moderate
WORK. WAS exceedingly animated and some
whs, prolonged. The public took lively
interest in tie movements and prospects OF
aspirant,, and after carefully canvassing the
claims, capabilities and skill OF each applicant,
seemed TO settle down TO the fixed opinion
thu, either ID. n Lowe or A. IL. Horton
would succeed. We presume that the con
er.s.;onal delegation could not agree upon
a recommendation of either Of these gentle
men. and selected Col. Foster as a compro-
mise man. There will he universal satisiac-
ton throughout the State ever the termina-
ton of the struggle for the place, and this
satisfaction will be deepened by the know
ledge ,ha, the appointee is capable and
deserving lawyer.

From the A.chiaon Champion we take the
following prrsonal sketch of the newly ap-
pointed JUICY:
Col Foster was bora in Monroe county.
New York, ard is thirty-six years OF age.
He WAS educated at Rochester, New i ork,
and studied law at that place. He was ad-
mi,tee to the bar in 1859, a, Batavia, New
York. ard came TO hansss the same year,
locating If Alcs,isou. He has ever since re-
sided here. lie Represented this county in
the State Senate in 1868 ard ga, and was
Mayor Of the city in 1867. He hss frequent
~ been delegate TO Republican State con-
ysn,ions, and has always been Republican
Of The most rad;cll type. He ia a strong,
losic,! and eloqn-n. speaker.
a. We have stated, he was not al aspirant
Tor the position, aud the appointment came

men.,ed the appointment Of Judge Horton,

and sha S'ate bar meeting a: Topeka, favor

ton il therefor all The more complimentary

in this case and it could not have been he
slowed naon one more competent 10 fill 1t
u-sfully, ably and ersd:tahiy.
II i. unnecessary TO say anything concern
ing Col Fosters qualifications - the people
Of Northern Kansas, where he is so widely
ara; fayorably known a. an eminent lawyer
and az honorable gentleman. But we take
pleasure in say:rg 10 the people in other por-
tons OF the STATE ;hai no better selection for
the iu,;yeship could have hssa made. He
will prove himself ia all respects worthy OF
the ,asi.ion, ard will discharge i's delicate
and responsible duties with capacity and
integrity tina, will reflect honor upon the
