Capt William 0. Ward of Birmingham, but at one time a member of the Selma bar, being asked to give synopsis of Senator Morgan's most striking character stics, said: \
 q read Morgan's speech as an elector for Breckenridge at Montevallo in 1860 went to his office in Selma as law student in 1866, and remained there five months. 144t&
 That which impressed me most was lis quickness and absolute readiness on every question that. came up. He seemed in tuitively to know the law and how % apply it. In word, he had mastered the philosophy of the law In criminal law he always looked for the intent In discuss ing the testimony of witnesses before juries he. was literally unmerciful to hostile witness. +
 ''He began his career as a lawyer In Talladega at the age of 20 years. al- though 21 was the required age. In the year 1s44 during the Clay-Polk campaign for presidency, he was much interested In politics, though quite young. That year he went to the supreme court of Alabama with all the records from the Talladega court and represented one side in every case that went to the court at that time.
 He had dfmastered Latin, but knew little of light literature. He was very fond of Virgil, and his.. mind was so saturated with Latin studies that he used very few articles, either in speaking or writing the Latins using but few. He was one of those remarkable and rare individuals who had simply grown up in the law.
 Senator Morgan was not only great lawyer and politician of the highest and best type, but his literary productions were of finished style, and his funeral orations, as, for instance. one on the oc- casion of General Lees death, were models of rare art and eloquence. He was gifted with d voice of fascinating fervor and he had the imagination of a prophet. He wasted very little time In society or in pleasure was of a very ,intense na- ture, labored industriously. allowed hin- self but little rest, exhausted every sub- ject to which his attention was called In the briefest possible time. In this way he became the best informed man on the politics of the country and of the world. He was exhaustive in research taking no convictions ssecond hand, but reaching conclusions through his own reasoning

and had observed defendants actions while at work under his direction on the new terminal station. He said that Bi5- sett' was running a switch engine, and one day he ran his engine and cars into the. wrong switch and into a mud hole He said that he considered this a crazy mans. act and Bissett an insane man and he laid him, off after this occurred On cross-examination witness said that Bissett had run the cars away off on tho wrong track, but he called him back and made him put the cars on the right track Did you not call his attention to what he was dong?" was asked.
 Why, sure, Mike was the answer
 Further questioning brought out no new facts and the witness was excused
 Deposition, Ia Read.
 The deposition of w. T. Shaw was in- troduced and accepted and read to the jury. The testimony of this witness, an uncle by marriage. who was sick in bed was related to observations of defendant and defendants mother, and opinion of witness was insane at the time he killed Maggie Patterson sa rn
 At'the conclusion of this testimony one of the jurors rose and asked whether Mrs Dodd would testify. Judge Greene told the juror that her deposition would be read The juror said that the jury had a serious matter before them and wanted to be fully informed on all matters. An other juror. arose and asked if the jury could not go to Mrs. DoLu house and hear her testimony Judge Greene said mo- but that the deposition would now be read

powers and analysis, making him, as Senator Hoar said, the best equipped man in the United States Senate on all sub jects.
 After the war his interest in southern politics became very acute, notably in the Seymour and Grant campaign of 1868. This interest continued in an active form to the time of his election to the Senate. He was very active in the Grant campaign of 1872, and took prominent part in the election of Governor Houston in 1874. 1t Is not probable that it will ever occur again in Alabama that the people will be as much excited as In 1874, largely due to Morgan. It would not be rash state ment to say that he spoke in every cour- ty In Alabama in that year. General Morgan always spoke at length, instruct ing his audience in all phases of the sub ject He drew vast audiences, and l have known him in Selma to hold vast throngs who stood for hours in the night time while he hayed alive the carpetbaggers and scallawags, finishing them with q dressing of pepper and salt with his ready wit, satire and sarcasm.
 Tn 1871 there took place what Is known as the riot In Selma. white brickmason by the name of Baxter killed a very pop ular man among his peope-a negro brickmason named Ali Granger It was Tor personal insult. The negroes pur- sued Baxter, and dragging him from a store house, where he had taken shel- ter carried him through the streets of Selma back to the body of Granger. heap ing indignities upon him and left him for dead. A posse headed by General PettIs and myself and the carpetbag sheriff, De- Camp, in all about 100 strong, scattered the mob and arrested a good many of the ring leaders. J. Q. Smith, at that time a republican judge. appointed General Morgan special solicitor to prosecute these rioters, and he did so, most thor oughly and consistently, a great many of them landing In jail
 Tt Is a fact that Houston opposed Morgan for the Senate and was defeated. He was very sore about 1t, but his wounds received balm, as he was thereafter elect ed to the Senate, died during his first term, and Senator Pugh was appointed his successor When Senator Morgan stood for reelection the first time. e. c. Lang don of Mobile opposed him. and developed considerable strength
 ITO those who knew him, it was pre- posterous to state that he spoke on the floor of the Senate to kill time. He spoSe present he had all the people of the Uni- ted States as an audience, who drew from his wonderful fund of information ac- curatc knowledge on many subjects of general interest 1,f
 Truly it may be said that Alabama has lost a great citizen, one who gave to the state its greatest distinction in the eyes of the world" I

Who was the first femme cochere" To the Princess de Metternich, lady of quality in the fullest meaning of the word, who fourlshed under the second empire, this honor must be accorded says the London Chronicle. For in the days when the woman whip was a very rare spectacle indeed this daunt- less dame was frequently to be seen driving her phaeton through Paris One day two facetious youths took it Into their heads to signal to her. "Pst. cochere!' The princess entered into the spirit of the joke. She drew up. By the hour," said the two. seating them selves. "Where?" "Bois de Boulogne. :" She whipped up without another word and drove off to the Bois. After si. lent tour of something over an hour the merry twain began to tire and asked to be put down.
