than TO the financial considerations.
Such was his devotion to his profess
sion that he would give DAYS and
nights 20 the investigation of a
point Of law, in cause as trivial
as any that he ever undertook, and
in which his fees were small and
doubtful. He loved his profession
more for itself than for profit He
was a graceful and most impress
sive speaker, always appearing to
believe thoroughlyin his utterances,
and convincing his auditors of his
sincerity. There have been many
greater masters of rhetorical elo-
quence, but few have equaled Mr..
Carpenter in power of producing
conviction. For his skill I'm logic
was equal to the elegance of his
diction. He built up his argu-
ment as a mason builds a wall,
laying a strong foundation, fnish-
ing each layer as he progressed,
and stopping at once when he had
finished the structure. His efforts
seemed impromptu when they had
been most elaborately prepared;
for he spoke with such ease that
he seemed to speak involuntarily.
His art was Of that rare quality
that exactly Stimulates nature. At
the bar, in the senate, or in the
political arena, Mr.. Carpenter was
man whom few cared to cbal-
lenge, for his vast resources made
him a dangerous antagonist for the
ablest men of our time. 1t is
peculiarly unfortunate that when
the senate is about to be deprived
of Blaine, Thurman and Melon
aid by political fortune, death has
taken another of It's illustrious
leaders. Wisconsin has no man
who will be vain enough to fancy
that he can fill the vacancy which
this sad event creates. DEL.
