National Paragraphs.

By the death Of Justice Samuel
F. Miller, of the U. S. Supreme
Court, the country loses one of the
ablest expounders of Constitutional
law that ever sat upon the bench OF
our highest legal tribunal. Justice
Miller was the oldest member of the
Court, being nearly seventy-fve
wears of age, and he had served
longer than any of his associates,
having been appointed by President
Lincoln in 1862. Justice Miller
might have legally retired on full
pay some years ago, but being a
man of active mind and powerful
physique he preferred to remain in
harness actively at work, and how
hard he has worked is shown by the
records of the Court. His opinion
on Constitutional law will be quoted
as the highest legal authority for
centuries to come. He was typi-
cal American, proud of his country
and believing it the greatest on
earth. OF him it may be truthfully
said: dwell done thou good aud
faithful servant; enter thou into the
Joys of thy Lord"
