Matt. HI. Carpenters Kindness

The two houses of the legislature OF
Wisconsin met in joint convention on
Wednesday evening, March 80, to pro-
nounce eulogies upon the late Senator
Matt. III. Carpenter. Among the speak
ers was Senator A. K. Delaney, who, in
the course of his remarks, said: can
other attribute pre-eminent in the
character of Senator Carpenter was his
genial good-nature, his great kindness
OF heart. In this direction it may be
said of him, His failings leaned to
virtues side No person could be
within the circle of his acquaintance
IN his moments of social intercourse
and fail to catch the genial current of
his soul The promptings of his heart
were ever toward kindness, his i'm
pulses were ever generous. An illus
tration of this peculiarly strong trait in
the character of the late senator
chanced years ago to come under my
observation. A young man of my ac-

AnecdOte of the Late Gar.

The following anecdote is told of AL
exander H.: A few years before his
death, while visiting Odessa, cashier
ed officer broke through his guards and
casting himself on his knees besought
the Emperor to grant him justice. The
Emperor answered that he would con-
slider his case. "No, no." exclaimed
the man, ''if you do not see justice
done me at once L am lost" Then
the Car heard his story, saw that a
cruel wrong had been done, and prom
ised that the officer should be reinstat-
ed. Even this. however, did not salts
fy the man. Tell me here, before
everybody, that / am an officer of
yours, Father, and sign this paper.
Your mere word would not be obeyed
once your back was turned" Nicholas
would have bounded at this insinua-
ton, but Alexander II tacitly acqui-
esced in it, and did what was asked of
him

The two gentlemen sat on the porch
smoking, and the parrot, which is very
tame, was seated in an interstice in the
trellis about the porch. The dog was
lying on the floor at his masters feet;
and finally his attention was called to
the bird, which was looking steadily at
him. The dog sprang up, drew on the
parrot and fastened There he stood,

9uaintance had started in the profes-

fairly read, he was, the contrary to
the general rule among the profession,
extremely ditidene, and wanted conf
dence in his own ability and resources.
The tlmo came, as it comes to all
young lawyers, for the trial Of his first
cause in court. Although he had nre-
pared his case with great care, he could
not shake off his difidence, and he
commenced the trial amid the greatest
trepidation. He chanced to be opposed
by an old practitioner. and one of the
relentless, pettifogging type, who gave
HIM no quarter. The young man lost
his bearings, then his confidence, and
ended i'll q most miserable failure. OF
