Eddie's First Pants.

Pants make an era in anybody's
life, ...
There went out of my house. one after
noon chubby little fellow less than 4
years old, wearing achild's frock. I re-
member distinctly that frock of soft,
white cloth, with pretty blue trimmings
1t was Eddie going to thescity.as In two
or three hours he came back. MY |!
What q change! Up the front entry
stairs he came looking like a Dutch
captain cut short, with blue jacket and
pants on (real ones), and in his hand
was the American flag waving
That night he couldn't sit in his high
chair at the table. He was too big a
boy. The chair might do for Peetins
Ia name from the Chinese or Choctaw or
Hottentot, given to the baby by her
young sister,, but body in pants must
have achair like older folks.
I really think he felt that the change
to pants was somarvelols an event that
others would think the boy in pants
might go back to something else by
morning, like ice cream that, left in the
kitchen over night, goes back to a sweet
mildly stuff on the morrow. So in the
morning, when Uncle John came down
stairs, Eddie cries out: Here I am,
just the same r There was one change,
and a hopeful one, a change of purpose.
IT am not going to ky in my pants; I
am too big a boy ky, was the word for
the future.
Unfailing sources of interest were the
pockets. Oh, those pockets !! AS a fat
fist was plunged into one, it was pro-
nounced +" q very deep pocket" "Feel
in them See if they amt deepr was
the challenge. AS he walked down the
street one morning he cried, 81 have got
to put my hands in my pockets. There's
Mr.. Dean wild his hands in his pockets I"
So the two men went "wid hands in
their pockets !"
I left Eddie just now sleeping on the
back parlor sofa, hand resting on his
plump chin, and one fat leg thrown over
the other. If I should put him, while
asleep, into his frock again, it would
mortify him dreadfully on waking. But
when [ think thai jacket and pants sig
Nifty that he is growing older, and 7 shall
soon lose my chubby boy, [ sigh for the
little white frock and blue trimming. I
have a great mind some day to put that
frock on him again.

Biographical Sketch of the New Supreme
Judge.

Biographical Sketch of the New Supreme
Judge.
We find the following biographical
sketch Of the new Associate Justice of
the United States Supreme Court in the
Chicago Evening Journal:
Gen. John NJ. Harlan, of Louisville,
Ky, is about 40 years old, and is blessed
with remarkable physical and intellect
ual powers. His parents were natives of
Kentucky, and his father DANES Har-
LAM was the distinguished Wing poll
tician who represented the Mercer dis
trict in Congress from 1886 to 1889. His
father was also Secretary of State of
Kentucky from 1910 to 1914, and from
1850 to the time OF his death, in 1863, he
was Attorney General of the. State. Har-
Ian county, KY, was named after Gen.
Harlan's grand-uncle, who. fellin bat
tie with Indians at Blue Lick. In 1859,
when only "a years Of age, Gen. Harlan
ran for Congress in the Fayette District
(then called the Eighth on the Oppose
ton ticket, and, after a hard fight. was
defeated by the Democratic candidate by
majority Of only 81 ina total vote Of
13, 1877.
When the war broke out he Joined the
Union army, and served for two years as
Colonel of the Tenth Kentucky infantry.
The death of his father then compelled
him. to tender his resignation. On re-
turning to civil Efe.he settled his fathers
estate, and in the same. year (1863). he
was elected Attorney General of the
State on the Union ticket, which was
headed by the late Gov. Branllette.
Gen. Harlan's majority was 50, 752 in a
total vote of 1882, Gov. Bramlette's
majority was so, ST. At the close of his
term he removed to Louisville and re-
turned to the practice of law.
I Gen. Harlan is probably the best law
yer in Kentucky, and the. ablest and
most successful member of the bar in
that State. Talent for oratory. is with
him natural gift. His command of
language is great, and his sense Of humor
keen; but he INDUCES in few rhetorical
ornaments in his speeches. When only
| 81 years of age he canvassed Kentucky
for President Fillmore, and there are
Kentuckians still living who speak of his
boyish eloquence in high. terms.
Gen. Harlan has the respect of all
Kentuckians, and his vigorous canvasses
have made him the leader Of the Repub-
lican party in the State. In 1871 he was
the Republican candidate for Governor,
and polled SO, 294 votes against 126, AT
for the Democratic candidate. In 1875
he was again the Republican candidate,
and he then increased his vote to go, 1876,
against 126, 976 for Gov. McCreary.
Gen, Harlan is about six feet high,
and weighs perhaps 225 pounds. He
has good-humored, expressive blue eyes,
fair complexion and hair, large head,
massive, lofty forehead, deep chest and
broad shoulders. His powerof self-con-
troll is great, and he has an abundant
geniality and TACT He is probably the
most industrious, untiring lawyer in
Kentucky, capable Of working sixteen tc
eighteen hours per day. He is always
in perfect health. It is said that he was
never sick day in his life.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 49, 1864.
MY DEAR FRIEND: Your welcome note found
me in bed where Ihad been kept for some
days. 1t came with the healing on its WINGS
for was in that condition that nothing could
serve me better than the voice of friend, and
no friend more effectually than you. | am bet
ter now. and again at work, but with feeble and
broken strength, that can only be restored by
absolute rest and relief from labor and care.
This long for, and hope soon to have.
Our cause is now, hope, beyond all danger,
and when Grant goes into Richmond my task is
ended. To you and others it will remain to
secure the fruits of victory, and to see that
they do not turn to ashes.
In respect to affairs here nothing Of any con-
sequence is on foot. Your experience has
taught you that the newspaper reports are all
lies, invented by knaves for fools to feed on.
This is especially true in respect to Cabinet
changes and Chief Justiceships. Changes in
the Cabinet will of course take place, but they
will be made in time and manner
In respect to the ief-Justiceship,
am net candidate for it, do not want it, and
the Office has not been spoken of between the
President and me, except that I have given
him a number Of recommendations and solicita-
lions for your appointment. From outside
have heard that Swayne is the most active and
Blair the most confident of the candidates. He
is pressed by Seward, as I have been told. /
do not believe that the President has given to
any one here the least sign of his intentions,
and I am convinced that he has never enter
tanned the thought of my appointment or been
addressed upon that subject by any one. My
belief is that you will be offered the appoint
ment if it has not already been done.
The peace runnors are all CANNON. Whether
there viii be any new offer in the message I do
not know. It has not yet been written. Banks
is here pressing his Louisiana schemes, but
do not know with what success. His aim seems
to be Canby's removal, which would, I think,
be calamity. Hoping to see you soon in
Washington, am, as ever, truly yours,
EDWIN NJ. STANTON.
