Eulogies on Vice President Wilson were

the eu,o yies was that in which Mr.. Knott
alluded 10 the celebrated visit of Mr.. Wilson
at the death bed of John G. Breckinridge.
Tnere, he said one of the grandest spirits
that ever illustrated the dignity and majesty
of our race was pluming it's pinions for
flight to brighter climes. Breckinridge, an
exile in his own native land, an alien, in

brother, lay dying. When the sad intelli.
gence was communicated to the great
man whose memory we mourn to-day, ne
threw aside all the destinations OF q
generous and refined hospitality, and with
his great heart full Of friendship, full OF
brornerly feeling, fastened to the bedside
OF the dying statesman, there to tender his
sympathy and to testify his warm personal
regard tor one whom he had recognized rs
the exponent and champion of principles
which he himself made it the great mission

ner and with all the earnestness and zeal
OF nis own 1ervid and determined nature.

one Of them, at later period, gave TO
friend this anecdote: He said that when he
entered the Senate he became in q short
time intimate with one of his colleagues,
and though attentive enough to the routine
of public duty, they daily returned to each
other, and spent much time in converse
ton on the immortality of the soul. When
my friend at last left Congress they parted,
his colleague remaining there, and, as their
homes were widely distant from each
again until, twenty-five years afterward,
they saw each other through open doors, at
q distance, in q crowded reception at the
Presidents house in Washington. Slowly
they advanced toward each other as they
could through the brilliant company, and
at last met-said nothing, but shook hands
long and cordially. At last his friend said,

piled he. They looked into each others
