CABINET SKETCHES.
William Maxwell Evarts,

the secretary of state, was born in Boston,
Macs, FEBRUARY 6, 1918. He is a son of
jeremiah Evarts, a native of Sunderland,
VT, graduate of Yale college in 1902
where he was classmate of Henry Big
low, for many years Congregational cler-
gyman at MiddletowD, Daniel Haskell,
president of the University Of Vermont, and
Prof. John Hough of Middlebury college
and for many years secretary OF the Amer
lean board of commissioners for Foreign
Missions. Mr.. Evarts graduated at Yale
in the class of 1887 at the age of nineteen
years. After obtaining his degree he en-
tered the Harvard law school and was adj
mitted to the bar of New York cityin 1871,
his eminent abilities as a logical thinker
and an eloquent advocate soon placed him
in the forefront of the professor. In 1857,
Union college conferred upon him the de-
gree of doctor of laws, and the same hon
or was paid him by Yale in 1864 and by
Harvard in 1876. hIr. Evart's accurate
and extensive knowledge Of the laws of this
and other countries and his power in argu-
ment were conspicuous elements in his sue
| cess as counsel for Andrew johnson during
| the great impeachment case in 1868. From
July 10, 1868, until the close of President
| Johnsons administration Mr. EvaIts filed
the office of attorney general with ability.
In that most delicate and important ques-
ton, involving the peace and prosperity of
England and America, he acted as counsel
for the United States. He was also senior
counsel for Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in
| his trial in 1876. Last year he was appoint
| ed by Gov. Tilden to serve on the charter
| commission. In the course of his long ca
reer, his services have been most eagerly
| sought in suits involving the rights of
| great corporations, and he has been engag-
ed in many famous railway actions. His
opinion on the Berdell mortgage upon the
Boston, Hartford and Erie railroad attract
| Ell great attention from the gravity of the
interest involved, and from the report that
Mr.. Evarts received for it one of the lar
gest fees ever paid lawyer for an opinion.
Mr.. Evarts' high reputation for thorough
familiarity with constitutional law, bis
prominent position in the republican party
and his convincing eloquence, made him
the man to whom all republicans turned anx.
iously when it was decided that the ques-
tons on which the presidency depended
should be argued before the clecorsl com
mission.

A musical soiree was given by the pupils
Of the music class at the chapel of the
seminary on Monday evening the 9th inst.
A large and appreciative audience was
present. BY the close attention and fire.
quent applause it might be inferred that
all we're amply repaid for their trouble in
attending. Owing to the absence of Mics
Woods the programme was broken into.
The vacancies were supplied by Misses
Harris and Churchill very acceptably,
These young ladies doing double work.
The piano solos were rendered as whole
very finely, and did credit to the pupils, as
we'll as their teacher, Miss Smith. The
first which demands attention is the Grand
Duo international fantasia, consisting of
several airs skillfully executed by the
Misses Churchill and Harris. Two other
solos performed separately by these young
ladies was listened to with marked atten.
ton, especially the solo Little Footsteps
played by Miss Harris in manner very
expressive Of its title. Other pieces were
finely rendered by Messrs. Bard and Reed,
and Master Charley Coy. The first song of
the evening was sung by MIR. Norton.
Mr.. N. has fine voice, and by increased
confidence of himself he will make fine
singer. An Italian song was next listened
TO, delivered by Miss Juliet Nj. Harris,
showing the latitude and sweetness of her
voice. She also sang song entitled
Somebody is coming" which was very
highly spoken of by the singers present.
We understand that this is the first ap-
pearance of Miss Ii. before q promiecu-
Gus audience as singer. If so, che
| acquitted herself in a worthy manner. The
| quartette arranged for the evening was by
necessity omitted. However, its place was
supplied by Miss Churchill, whose appear
ance is always welcomed by a Manchestei
audience. She Gang nicely and was called
by the incessant appliance tue second time
to the stage. This time she sang, "Comt

in such pleasing manner as to draw fortt
deafening applause. One of the mos
pleasing features of the evening was {

panment. In response to the loud call
Mr.. Hoyt played another tune of more
lively nature. BY request of several pres
