The Late Senator Pickering by Senator Palmer, q Personal Friend-Othor Notes.
 Hartford, March Tn the senate on
 Wednesday among the fine tributes to
 the memory of Senator Pickering was
 one by Hon. William Fl. Palmer, jro
 of Norwich, senator from the Tenth dis
 trict. He said:
 Senators-The resolution before us by reason of the inadequacy of words, how
 ever well they may be chosen, conveys
 but feebly our depth of sorrow and our
 appreciation of the loss sustained by
 this body in the death of Senator Pick ering They express but imperfectly our recognition of the worth and noble character, the many virtues, the gener- ous and genial qualities, so admirably combined in the life which has been so recently and suddenly summoned from our midst. While am aware, MT. Pres ident, that the unanimous adoption of the resolution before us depends in no wise upon any words which may be spoken upon the floor of this chamber, I cannot permit the opportunity to pass without speaking of the many virtues which actuated him throughout his life as a friend and a citizen, as 6 business man., as I knew him.
 Favored with an acquaintance ex- tending over a period of some twenty five, years, during portion of which it was my pleasure to meet him fre- quently under various circumstances, can we'll say that in the most inti- mate relations of life he was always cheerful, uniformly Kind and courteous and generous to fault, always ready to aid from his wealth of knowledge and experience those who sought his advice and counsel. Those who knew him best suffer the greater loss in his death.
 As. a business man, and l speak from experience, his claims were always sub ordinate to what he deemed to be the best interests of those who favored him with their patronage, content always with that small gain or reward which comes from honorable and fair dealing with his fellow men, rather than actu- ated with the desire for more rapid ac- of wealth at thes expense of business integrity. His fealty to the public trasts imposed upon him by his state and the nation has been often rec ognized at home and by the decorationss sl which he bore upon his breast conferred by nations abroad
 I believe that the highest honor in the power of individuals to confer on an- other worthy of honor is conferred by our emulation of the lives, the practice | of the virtues which they practice, by making their lives our example, and may we thus honor him and therebyI honor ourselves and the state in whiehl I we live.
