Evarts and the sneak Thief:

New York Cor N. O. Times Democrat
Mr.. Evarts has resumed the practice of law
in this city. l saw him yesterday in court
He is as immaterial as he is important But
it is in size only that he is unsatisfactory to
look at. Doubtless you have seen portraits
of the late William Cullen Bryant, and have
admired his seemingly massive head As
matter of fact, the poet was little man,
and his face was rugged one in miniature
IL Is something the same way with Evarts.
His profile corresponds almost exactly with
the familiar medallion of julius Caesar but
IS not big enough to be imperious. His
figure is extremely spare, and he clothes it
with negligence that amounts to shabbi-
ness. The hat that he laid on the table had
been brushed the wrong way, after q long
spell Of apathy in its nap. However, in a
subdued light and well posed, Evarts is a
wonderfully effective realization of the
Tusty, crtisty, dignifed old lawyer. He is
tie last man in the world to take liberties
with; and yet he told me, to illustrate his as
sertion, that there IS nothing too mean for
some persons to expect lawyer to do, Of a
professional thief asking his advice as to how
to steal with the greatest possible safety.
This fellow insisted on q private interview,
refusing 70 state his case to any subordinate.
81 am sneak thief" he said, when at
length seated in front of the statemans desk.
Il mean to do some big jobs this winter
Suppose go into bank, and by making a
depositor think am an employee, induce him
to voluntarily hand ME his bank book full of
money-mind, / don't use force-I simply
take what he hands me; would that make me
liable to conviction of robbery in the first de-
greer
Evarts is never undignifed. He kicks in
metaphor only. He simply told the thief
that he was too busy to take hold of his case.
'What lawyer would you advise me to go
tog" asked the caller.
"Try the district attorney" was the reply.

Before this occurred an old reb outside,
who had the privilege OF bringing Jeff his
meals, used to bring in LOIS Of fried and
stewed oysters and many other things we
soldiers couldn't get. He nearly always
brought more than old jeff could eat, and
jeff used to give US lots of good things. but
after this fuss he'd always throw everything
that was left out of the window and wouldn't
even give US a smell to save our lives.
He was a spunky old cuss, I tell YOU.
He wanted air, and then he would be
taken out onto the ramparts by two
captains, two ieutenants, two corporals
and two privates and walked around
for fifteen minutes or half an hour. These
officers and men had to surround him to keep
the guards from shooting him every time he
went out. The way he was fixed they couldn't
kill him without killing one of the other
men and perhaps more. After jeff collared
me one of the guards drew his picture on the
wall, representing him dangling on theend
OF rope, with an inscription not very cdm-
plimentary to JEFF underneath it, It made
the old fellow furious when he saw it, and of
course 1t was blamed on me. He called the
attention of the officer of the guard to it, but
didn't get much sympathy from him.
