Wendell Phillips.

IN. Y. IlmeS.l
An intimate friend of Wendell Phillips for 25
years has Just been telling what he knows of
the renowned Bostonian as a man and an orator.
Phillips, though In comfortable circumstances
he is probably worth 5000. 000-liveS very plainly
in an old-fashioned meagrely- furnished house
in Essex street, and has lived there for thirty
years, Notwithstanding the encroachmentS Of
ordinary clearinghouse and retail shops. He
Is great lover Of art; but he has no pictures or
bronZes or marbles, because he prefers to give
the money they would cost to the poor and
the struggling No really needy, deserving
man or woman ever appeals to him In vain: he
Is constantly doing good, but he Is so secretive
and silent concerning his benevolence that no
body hears of it, unless by accident. His man.
England manner; it is wholly simple and natu-
raj; 1t puts persons at their ease; yet 1t is tho
manner OF patrician, and men Of the common
sort who meet him esteem and admire him,
though they always feel the difference between
him and themselves They cannot understand
why he has advocated the cause OF the poor
and the lowly. He has a wife, chronic
ways has been, chivalrously devoted to
her. and ascribeS all the best things he
has done to her MI His entire life has
for her. Though still, it is said nominal
member Of the Old South, he rarely, If ever,
attends church, having been repelled by the
slavery days. He is the antip0des In everything
of IngersOll, who once declared that Phillips
was no more an orator than mathematician is

never moved; he adopts conversational tone
and mein; he invariably addresses the intellect;
he convinceS; his forte is picturesque logic, cpl
grammatic truth. His '.LoSt Arts" was never
written; has been delivered for 80 years, and Is
as fresh now as at first. His lecture on Daniel
OC0nnell, prepared at the request Of Roman
Catholic society, has ofteen been pronounced,
In literary sense, his masterpiece. 1t has never
been put on paper either; before he had deliv-
cred It, he had no opinion of Its quality; thought
that it would gain no reputation. Ali he had
tried to do was to get material enough, he said,
to enable him to talk an hour on the subject he
had In hand. Despite his abolitionism, he has
always been very popular with the Irish, who
have constitutional hatred of negroes and
their advocates. Phillips friend maintains that
he and Ingersoll are the two great distinctive
native orators; that no other country could
have generated them. Phillips represents Bos-
character and method. IngerS0ll Is son OF the
west. child Of the people, product OF the

abstraction, dreaming away their days like
veritable lotos eaters, and seeming to be devoid

only accomplishment is that delightfully."- law
