at our feet, while as far as the eye can reach
are farms, with their fields of grain, etc., in
the many colors of natures patchwork, inter-
sected by the railroads converging at Salt
Lake City. When we were there the SHOWS
of the two days previous had been rain in the

unmelted, furnishing beautiful contrast to
the green of the plateau and the brilliant

an obstinate though undemonstratiye temper

an obstinate though undemonstrative temper,
and shy but loving heart. To those whom
he liked he was tenderly affectionate. To his
antipathies he was silent and austere. His
fancies were mainly prosaic his turn Of
thought altogether literary. But, in his own
ever unObtrusive way, he was tenacious of his
principles and his purpose, incorrigible in the
execution of his plans and fastidiously true to
his duties, personal and official. He had trav-
eled extensively. In early life he had served
as cornet of British Light Dragons in In
dia, and later passed three or four years in
Paris as a student of belle lettres. He might
have been mistaken for a seaman, and looked
like Greek. His bearing was cosmopolitan :;
his speech peculiar to himself, a cross between
a stammer and an accent. Hewas reckless Of
his person, but not from vainglory. He SEEM
ed to be unconscious either of exposure or
display, governed by the impulse or desire of
the moment. His men loved him dearly but
few of his officers were familiar with him.
Hardee was his nearest friend, though he
dearly loved young Lucius Polk.
HIS BOLD AND ORIGINAL OPINIONS.
Cleburne was very bold and original in his
opinions. His proposition, two years before
the close of the war, to declare all the negroes
free and conscript the males, evinces his force
of intellect and sagacity. 81 would meet the
proclamation of MI. Lincoln" said he, with
a better one. would give the negroes not
only their freedom, but bounty of land for
meritorious service" On one occasion he was
heard to declare eff England and France
permit the overthrow of the Confederacy, |
shall be in favor of restoring. the Union and
cleaning out Canada and Mexico" Had he
lived he would have returned to Arkansas,
married the lady to whom he was betrothed,
resumed the practice of law and eschewed
Fenianism. 81 am sick of fghting," he was
heard to say months before his death, "but we
must see it to the end.'
