been deeper thinkers, better strate-
gists, but when it came to tactics
handling troops in the presence Of
the enemy" in a military sense-in
other words, conducting a case in the
presence of a jury, Sir Charles has had
no superior.
He is a tall, strongly-built,w hite-whis-
kered, keen-eyed man. To complete the
picture of him as it exists in the public
mind add pair of eyeglasses, a snuff
box and red pocket handkerchief. In
cross-examinatiSn it has been his prac-
tice not to bully witness unless, as
when the spy lie Caron confronted him,
the witness beat him at his own game.
This insinuating method was like that
of Lord Coleridge himself, who is de-
scribed as having, by his gentle words,
helped many a man into putting the
moose about his own neck before he
knew it.
AS proof of Sir Charles generalship
a story is told how, in a certain litiga-
ton, the counsel for the plaintiff, in
moving for a new trial, complained
that the attorney general had car
ried the verdict with a rush" IF we
were to yield to that contention" re-
turned Lord Coleridge, lit would be
necessary for us to grant a new trial
whenever Sir Charles Russell was ON
the other side" Another story told of
him illustrates his bearing when in
conference with brother lawyers. Sir
Charles has not been very popular with
his brethren, because he is apt to treat
them rather imperiously, and his con-
ferences have been described as being
like the councils of war of a certain
general who allowed no one to talk but
himself. The story is that, at a certain
conference, Sir Charles finally stopped
to take breath; when an Irish barris-
ter, associated with him in the case,
broke in with: will you kindly call to
mind, Sir Charles, that this is con-
sultatiOn, and not a lecturer"
The Parneu inquiry brought Sir
Charles into the general knowledge of
people on this side of the Atlantic. The
result of that inquiry was one of his
greatest triumphs. The artistic, even
dramatic way in which he brings out
his points was shown when he began
with Pigott by desiring him to write
the word hesitancy'; and when he in
troduced his memorable speech by ask
ing: "Who are the accusers?" and
who are TIE accused?"

THE MEDAL OF HONOR.
-Four Brave Illinois Soldiers Hon
ored by Uncle Sam.
They Are to Receive Decoration Known
as the Victoria Cross of the United
States-Awsrded for Bravery
at Vicksburg.

An interesting "Reminiscences of the
rebellion is brought out by the recent
action of the war department in award
ing four medals of honor to as many
Illinois volunteers, who were conspicu-
Gus during the Vicksburg campaign of
1863. 1t was mainly through the eff
forts of Assistant Secretary Doe that
number of brave men have been
awarded medals which are so priced by
veterans of the late civil war for con-
spicuous services and gallantry in ac-
ton. 1t was berore Vicksburg, Miss,
that a voluntary stOrming party of $50
persons rendered such services that
they are entitled to wear a medal of
honor sent out from the war depart
ment. Of the men composing that
storming party about one-half are liv-
ing, and among them are the following
citizens of Illinois: William Toomer,
late sergeant Company G, One Hundred
and Twenty-Seventh Illinois volun-
teers, who lives at No. 90 Perry avenue,
Chicago; James Henry, late sergeant
Company B, One Hundred and Thir-
teenth Illinois volunteers, whose pres
ent abode is haywood, Cook county;
Benona Sprague, late corporal Com
pany f, One Hundred and Sixteenth H.
linois volunteers, now living at Say
brook, Mclean county; and Theodore
Hyatt, late sergeant Company D, One
Hundred and Twenty-seventh Illinois
volunteers, whose address is Lockport,
viii county.
When these veterans receive their
medals of honor they can very justly
be proud of them, for only a limited |
number have been struck off at the |
mints of the United States since the |
first issue in 1862. At that time con-
gress authorized the president to cause
9, 900 of these medals of honor to be pre-
pared with suitable emblematic devices |
to be presented to such non-commis-
stoned officers and privates who should |
most distinguish themselves by gal
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-08-18

lantrv in action and other soldier-like
qualities. Subsequently about year
later an additional issue of medals was
authorized for presentation to officers,
non-commissioned officers and privates
who had most distinguished themselves
in action.
1t was the original intention that
this medal should be formed of con.
.demned cannon captured from the enc
my, but the gun metal could not be
prOfitably or conveniently used by the
United States mints, and the project
was consequently abandoned. Instead,
however, a bronze composition was
utilized, which served every purpose
and made up a medal which only vet
Grams of the late civil war can fully APP
preciate.
Should anyone doubt the genuineness
of a medal of honor it is very easy
matter to pick out the real from the
counterfeit, for on the reverse of a
medal of honor the following words
are engraved: The Congress to -''
giving name and rank of the person to
whom the medal is awarded and the
date of the conspicuous service for
which the award is made).
Under the acts of congress passed in
1862 and 1868 about 1900 of these
medals have been awarded. A record
kept at the war department shows the
names. of the persons to whom the
medals have been issued. If volun-
teers, their names are in the pension
record division, over which Col. Aims
worth presides, and if to regular army
people the record will be found in the
Office Of the adjutant general. When
the remains of the late President Lin
coin were taken from Washington, d.
c., to Springfield, Ill, each of the
twenty-nine members of the military
escort on that occasion was decorated
with one of these medals by order of
Secretary Stanton. Great care has
been exercised of late in awarding this
decoration, which is known as the Vic
tOria cross of the United States army,
and the medal must be applied for in
the cases of soldiers of the rebellion
either by themselves or their friends
or be issued upon the recommendation
of an officer in command at the time a
soldier distinguished himself.
