How Fltz John Porter Lives.

Fitz John Porter has lived most of the
time since the war in New Jersey, says one
of his Washington friends. He was attracted
to Morristown because 1t was the home of
the late Senator Randolph, who, during his
term In the Senate, was persistent and en-
thusiastlc advocate of Porter's restoration to
the army. Porter is a man OF moderate
means, but has always been In receipt of q
good salary, owing to his abilities as civil
engineer and the interest which his friends
have taken in him. Judge Lathrop, who
was at one time president and afterward re-
ceiver of the principal railroad in New Je--
sey, always gave Fitz John Porter comfort
able position as consulting civil engineer for
the road. He also received employment in
the capacity Of civil engineer from the city
government Of New York, when the more
when the lower elements were In undlspnted
possession, Porter lost that occupation. But
he has never wanted for sufficient employ.
ment to give him comfortable livelihood. !.

Ever since the war he has maintained close
correspondence with Democratic leaders
throughout the country. 1t would surprise
people to see in what intimate relations he
stands with these men, North and South.

seemed to prefer not to make new acquaint-
ances, but to content himself with bis old
associates. He has always been welcomed
in social circles, and Is most genial COM
