How He Named Them.

A Chicago pater familias named Benson,
upon the birth Of his first child conceived
the odd idea of christening 1t after the
place of its birth. This whimsical notion,
growing with his increasing family, and he
being Of somewhat rowing disposition,
now results in group of seven children,
who certainly bear quaint If not euphonious
names. He was resident of the capitol OF
New York, when his first, daughter, was
born, and she, therefore, bears the patro-
nymic of Albany Benson; going West short
ly after, the other, boy, is known as Oma-
ha Benson, then follow consecutively, St.
Joseph Benson, son, and St. Joseph Ben
son, a daughter; Cincinnati Benson, q
daughter, and the last, lad of tive years,
Chicago Benson.

OBITUARY.

O00t0 OF HOOoEt 00EWW0lA 1WOssS OE'
A despatch from New Orleans, under date
of the 14th, announces the death of Robert
Barnwell Rhett, ST., which took place at St.
James Parish, La, at the advanced age OF
rs years.
TO many of our readers the name of Mr..
Rhett will seem like ghost evoked from
the dead past, so long is 1t now since 1t was
associated with some of the most stirring
events of our political history. To the sur
vivors of past generation it will recall the
times of Calhoun and the notification efforts
of South Carolina under that great leader
and later that thrilling scene in the seces-
sion convention, when the form of Barnwell
Rhett was seen to approach the desk to
affix his signature to the fatal and
fated instrument. As he approached
the desk he sunk upon his knees and up
lifted his hands to Heaven, and for mo-
ment bowed his head in prayer. Naturally
the proceeding was electric. By common
instinct all parties arose, every head was
uncovered, and the President of the assem-
bly, addressed the Shrine of Grace.
Mr.. Rhett was born in Beaufort, s. c., on
the Oath Of December, 1914. His family
name was Smith; and that he was known
until 1887, when he assumed q colonial an
cestor's title of Rhett. He was lawyer,
and during the notification movement, in
which he was among the most violent, filed
the Office of Attorney General of South Car
olina. From 1886 to 1S49 he represented
the Beaufort distric in Congress, and in 1850
was elected to the United States Senate. He
advocated the doctrines of Calhoon, and was
the first to breathe on the floor of Congress
q prorosition tn dissolvA the T1nion He wo q
for the secession of South Carolina In 1851
70. Upon the death of his wife, in 1852, he
resigned his seat in the Senate and returned
to his Beaufort plantation, where he engaged
in preparations for the secession
movement in case Of Lincoln's election.
He was leading member Of the South
Carolina secession Convention in 1860, and
wrote the address declaring the reason for
the action of the State. In the Montgomery
Convention of delegates from the seeded
States he was chairman of the committee
which reported the Confederate constitu-
| tion. Finally, he became the owner of the
Charleston Mercury" which during the
war was conducted by his son, Robert Barn
well Rhett, Jr., and which was one of the
most untiring and able supporters of the
Confederacy during those long and bloody
years. Upon the termination of the war he
retired into obscurity SO profound that the
great mass of people will doubtless be sur
prised that he lived so long.
With his death disappears, perhaps, the
| last survivor of these statesmen of the ex-
treme Southern rights school which under
the leadership of Calhoun shook the Union
to the centre, and whose efforts resulted in
the disastrous war of the Confederacy.
