man. Born in 1900, he was educated for
the bar, and for twenty years he was an
able and eloquent lawyer His health
failing, he crossed the Atlantic, where
he spent several years visiting the differ
ent countries of Europe. In 1S41 he re-
turned, and in 1916 enlisted in a New
York regiment as private, and was in
all of Gen. TaylOr'S battles up to Buena
Vista, and was desperately wounded in
that ever memorable and bloody engage
ment. For number of years he was
reporter in our Legislature and in the
National Congress. The Colonel is now
IS years old, bright and genial, straight
as an Indian, and looks like man of Us.
He has wonderful memory of events
and men and things of the past and his
"reminiscences of public men, and his fe-
licitous manner of relating them, are
extremely entertaining. An accomplish
ed scholar, relic of a past generation, a
genial and pleasant companion. Long
may he live to come and greet us again.
