DEATH OF THEODORE CUYLER.
Theodore Cuyler died suddenly, at
his home in Philadelphia, on the 5th
inst. For several months past he has
suffered great agony from carbuncles.
and his life was endangered on more
than one occasion. On Tuesday night
one of the carbuncles, located in the
lower part of his jaw began bleeding,
and the exhaustion occasioned by the
loss of blood was quickly followed by
his death.
Theodore Cuyler stood single from
his brethren in completing the full
circle of great lawyer. In equity, in
all forms OF actions at law, in all the
intricate labyrinths of litigation, and
in the criminal courts he lowered
above his fellows in clearness of COM
prehension and skillful application of
the law, in eliciting testimony, in
questions of practice, and as jury
advocate and disputant none but him.
self was his parallel. His profession
was the idol of his heart, and with it 8
exacting duties and, to him generous
enjoyments, he was content. Had he
been ambitious for the honor climbed
or crawled to by the littleness about
him that his greatness dwarfed into
contempt, his name would have been
a household word in State and nation.

oratory and the peculiar power to
sway the multitude that was not ma.

to it's highest attachments by his daily
life. But he was wisely Indifferent to
political advancement, and turned
from his profession only to the com.
paratively humble positions of public
trust which afforded new opportuni-
ties for usefulness in the elevation of
true citizenship. His voice was never
heard in the legislative councils of the
country. Butt in all the multiplied du.

was ever conspicuous, and his intelli.

all its countless channels and offices, he
was truly great among his fellows. 1t
is Theodore Cuyler's grandest eulogy
that each future day of the generation
in which he lived will brighten the
lustre of his achievements and enlarge
the measure of his honorable fame.
