SENATOR FAIR.

Mr.. Fair said it had been his good for
tune to know Mr. Miller well, and the
death of that distinguished man he (Mr.
Fair felt to be not only a public loss, but
a personal bereavement. Mr. Millers ca
reer might well be pointed to as an ex-
ample and incentive to the rising genera
ton. Few of our time had filled, as he
had, with heaping measure, the require
ments of every public and private station
When the opening of our great civil war
startled the country, Mr.. Miller resigned
his duties as State Senator of Indiana, and
entered with patriotic enthusiasm into the
great struggle for the Union, and led to
the field a regiment of infantry. | will not

and without orders he made an
assault which opened the way 10
victory, and in this terrible struggle
he received the wound from which he suf-
fered so much, and which, no doubt, finally
contributed to his death. This, however,
did not end his military career. At Nash
vile he was intrusted with a larger COM
mand. and with conspicuous gallantry he
aided in the overthrow of Hoods army.
Successful in war, it was left to him to be
equally successful in peace. Again becom-
ing citizen of California, he was chosen
to conspicuous and responsible positions
under the National and State Governments,
and was finally chosen to represent that
great State in this chamber Here his abil-
ity received recognition, and he was placed
at the head of one of the leading commit
tees of the Senate. A man of business, he
was always recognized as possessing large
ability. In the private walks of
life, and in social circles he made hosts of
friends. In fact, it may be said that he was
here conspicuous and distinguished man,
without an enemy. 1t would seem that the
life of Senator Miller was a series of I'M
broken successes. This statement necessa-
rily includes the idea that his combination
of good qualities entitled him to succeed

SENATOR HEARST.


Mr.. Hearst said: Mr.. President, the
Senators who have preceded me have
spoken of Senator Miller as soldier ard a
statesman. 1t now becomes my privilege
to speak of him as a citizen in which
capacity also he served his country. He
and his associates were the recipients of
one OF the most important franchises in
the gift of the Government. Out of this
grew an enterprise which has been carried
on to the best interests of all parties therein
concerned, in proof of WHICH his books
have ever been open for the investigation
of any authorized agent In fact. to nv
knowledge, such investigation has always
been invited. The management not ONLY
protected the Government, but a system
was created which enabled the help
less and ignorant Indians engaged in their
work to save such proportion of their
earnings that there is to-day to their credit
in the banks of San Francisco $lOO,OO
which amount might have gone into the
Golfers of the company for the simple con-
sideration of five barrels of very ordinary
whisky. This instance alone is sufficient
to show the purity and integrity of the
mans life. Such an example should be
written on the mile-posts of the highway,
chizzled on the cliffs along the trails of the
Rocky Mountains, craven in the granite of
the Sierras, hewn on the tall pines of the
Pacific slope, and commemorated in the
flowers of the valleys of the dead Senators
adopted State"
ATTENDANCE IN THE GALLERIES.
In the reserved galleries were the family
of the late Senator, Mrs Stanford, Mrs.
Hearst, and large number of ladies prom
.inent in society, and friends of the family.
There was also goodly attendance in the
other galleries, and the closest attention
was paid to the different speakers
The resolutions were agreed to- and in
further respect for the deceased the Senate
adjourned.

me kSitter kecolIections Connected with
Colonel staart's Marriage.
The following description Of an
amusing BIT Of experience is given in
"Reminiscences Of a Soldier" A din
ner-party was given to Colonel Stuart,
just before his marriage. BY some
bachelor friends. In the hotel where
the young men assembled. a number
Of clergymen Of the ~Presbytery Of
Aberdeen, then in session in the city.
were staying Bent upon having a
good time. the young fellows irrev-
erently played what was termed the
cayenne trick upon some Of the
worthy ministers. Colonel Stuart had
e n to London for a new suit Of
clothes in which I be married He
wore the suit on this evening. that he
might do honor TO his friends. We let
him tell the rest Of the story:
After the dinner l left Aberdeen and
went to England, to be married. Ny
father-in-law was so well known in the
town in which he lived that the roads
10 the church were crowded on the day
Of the ceremony. and the church itself
was crammed- took my place with
my intended bride by the altar. and
the ceremony proceeded. The clergy
man had got about halfthrough. when.
having occasion Il use my pocket
handkerchief. I put my hand into nv
pocket. pulled it out and applied 1t to
my nose. You can Judge what my
sensations were when ! felt my eyes
full Of cayenne pepper, the irritation
Of which was almost intolcrable.
On the night Of the dinner at Aber-
deem ] had placed the paper OF cayenne.
with which we had committed the
atrocities on the reverend gentleman.
into the pocket Of my drcss-coat. and
had thought nc more about il. On the
morning Of my marriage. | put a clean
silk handkerchief in that pocket. not
remembering what | had placed there
before The cayenne had got loose
from the paper; and. consequently.
when | applied the handkerchief to nv
nose the miserable stun flew into my
eyes. and for a few momen caused
most cxcruciating torments. Water
ran down my cheeks in streams. and I
dared not apply the handkerchief
for fear Of getting another dose.
Meantime. the whole audience was
nj me. and ! heard whispers:
Poor young man. how affected he
ISL and other sympathetic remarks to
the same effect
A thought the ceremony would never
be over. and when II was finished. the
clergyman who married me came up.
and. shaking my hand. said:
