Senator Willey's address last night be-
fore the Law class on the Ethics Of the

practical pleas for the utility Of the law
and lawyers as well, ever delivered In the
State. The young law students were

court, and the legal profession generally.
The Senator, although approaching four
score years, has lost little OF the fire OF
former days, and Is himself the best ex-
ample Of the high aim that he sets before
young law students, namely, tho perfect
Christian gentleman. When listening 10
his oratory and in his patriarchal pres
snCe, he recalls in forCi5le manner the
typical Roman Senator oil old. 4
