eroft was not of the member Mr d.
ehAnan, Robert J. walker, Jsha r.
Thompson, ef Neu jersey; Cave Johssoc,
Of Tennessee, and q few more gathered
around the board, and when the impul-
sive New Jersey sailor, Stockton, offered
a wager Of basket Of champagne that he
could name the cabinet Of the incoming
President, the bet was Immediately taken
by Mr.. Buchanan. The names were writ
ten by the Commodore and put in IN en-
velope, which was placed In my hsnds.
The Commodore lost the wager, because
he did not include George Bancroft 90
Secretary Of the Navy. The new. admin
istration started with new cabinet in the
full tide of success. June 8, 1645, An
drew jackson, the ex-President Of the
United States, died at the Hermitage
in Tennessee. 1t was necessary %
pay immediate honors to that in
trepid historical character, and it
was also necessary that an orator should
be secured. George Bancroft was selected,
and he discharged his duty with seal
and accuracy, and pronounced his speech
with rhetoric so magnetic as to capture
the listening thousands. made my old
friend laugh last Friday, when l recalled
to his recollection the remark of Father
Richie, who had been summoned from
Richmond to Washington, at his ad-
vanced age, to take possession Of the
democratic organ, The Union, to which,
even at that early day, / wss regular
contributor. Carried away by the el0-
quence of Mr.. Bancroft, and by the
knowledge that his Grafton had been rap
idly prepared, he exclaimed to the young
historian and statesman % he finished
his address, Bancroft, you are . hum
bug!' After Mr.. Bancroft's retirement
from the cabinet he was appointed minis
ter to England, and remained in London
until 1S49, in which year the University
of Oxford conferred upon him the hon
orary degree of d. G. L. Returning to
New York, he continued his herculean
labors on his great history, the fourth vol
ume of which appeared in 1859, the fifth
in 1858, the sixth in, 1854, the seventh in
1858, the eighth in 1850, the ninth in
1868, the tenth in 1859, and the eleventh
and last in 1874. In 1867 he was ap-
pointed minister to Berlin, and during
his mission performed many distin-
guished services. In 1871 he resigned
and returned to Newport, which is his
residence in summer, while at the same
time he fixed his other home in Wash
ington, which is his residence in winter.
On his seventy-sixth birthday he had
good reason to be proud Of fine health, a
comfortable competency, and the su-
preme satisfaction that crowns lifs's
work we'll done. I can conceive nothing
more envisble than public man closing
bis career in the capitol Of his country,
especially since that capitol has been
made worthy Of its founder, and has been
solidly sealed to its chosen positiOn,
surrounded by the best society aad Asas
national library destined 10 be oas al
the fiaest in the world. Such man ~
George Bancroft may, in the aftsrsoea u
his life, look out aP0a The glowing hssi-
ron Of his evening. in the frm asaranss
