was received at home under the super.
vision of Judge Faux, with the assist

( law Office OF William N. Meredith when
quito young and was admitted to the
bar when twenty years old. Soon after
! this he sailed tor Europe as the bearer
OF dispatches to the Hon. Andrew
Stevenson. then United States minister
at the court OF St. James. Tho secretary
OF legation at this court was sent on
another mission at this time and Mr..
Vaux was appointed to the post. He
remained one year and then continued
a tour OF the continent. Returning to
London he became private secretary OF
the American minister. 1t WAS during
this visit that he achieved social famo
by dancing with Queen Victoria at a
court ball, he being the only American,
it is said, who ever had that honor. In
