Has now himself pegged out
He was n man Of noble parts.
Beloved by young and old;
AND though he ne'er sold half his goods,
His goods were OFT half.soled.
His was q bnSy life until
Disease did on him steal;
He h. elrd his patrons boots and shoes,
Himself he could not heal.
He loved bis art rs we'll he might,
For In IL be Rnrn,ssed

Unlike sOme men know full well,
OF human kindness stripped.
Who reap what other hAnds have 90 wn-

Mankind has iost r friend;
In yonth n Crispin-crisp in age
He waxed unto his end
Peace he his roSt; and whom around
The Day OF Judgment rolls,
A o free from hsw may be his soul
As ever were his solesl

LETTER FROM SECRETARY FISH,
His Statements Regarding the Grant,
Sumner Affair.
CORRECTION OF SOME DISCREPANCIES
He Disposes Of a Few of Mr.. Phillips
Misstatements.

New YORK, November II. Ex-Secretary Fish
has letter in the Herald correcting one or two
discrepancies in the statement of Saturday, made
by reporter as well as By Wendell Phillips.
Mr.. Fish says his letter TO Motley, quoted by
Phillips, is dated 1869, but Phillips quotes and
comments on it as being dated 1870.
Mr.. Fish also says the St. Domingo treaty was
defeated in June. 1870. The next session of the
Senate opened December, 1870, when Sumner
again was appointed chairman of the committee
foreign relations. This disposes at once of an
other of Mr.. Phillips msstatements, and also of
the idea that Summers failure to be re-appointed
was in consequence of bis opposition to the St.
Domingo treaty. Had that opposition been the
cause il would have been in December in 1870,
when The Committees were re-organzed for the
first time after the defeat of the treaty. Sumner
failure to be ie-appointed didn't take place until
the succeeding session Of The Senate, which be-
gan in March. 1871. "Evidently accuracy OF
statement and regard for truth must be classed
among MIR. Philips Lost Arts'."
