where he acted with or led men of both parties. This sketch is but a passing glance at a long, laborious and brilliant career. Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster all left the Senate, or died in the Senate, about 1851 or 1852. When this grand triumvirate had departed, there were yet many strong men who served in that body with Mr. Hunter from 1850 to 1861 who have made a great impress upon our history. I need hardly mention such great names as Senators Mason, Toombs, Jefferson Davis, Benjamin, Stephen A. Douglas, Seward, Sumner, Chase, Trumbull, Bayard, Slidell and Crittenden. Yet I can truthfully assert that of this list of very able men, not one was superior in general, all-'round ability to Mr. Hunter; not one was his equal in legislative force and influence; not one was so universally confided in and trusted. Since the passing away of Jefferson, Madison, Marshall and Monroe, hardly any Virginian has borne so influential a part in political affairs as R. M. T. Hunter, and c

Upon the consummao, and the committee was in a quandary. At Mr. Benjamin's own suggestion the committee recommended llel of such patriotism. In Danville. Mr. Benjamin evidently did not accompany the presidentiae to the household. The following Sunday Mr. Benjamin gave an exhibition of his admirable tact, whim to their chamber. When they were there Mr. Benjamin said: Dr. Hoge, I didn't have the heart to farewell, he unwittingly remarked, Good-by, Mr. Benjamin, that the true state of affairs was exposedh he did, winning the case.

ority. Reverting to the bar in 1850 in Louisiana, Mr. Semmes told many delightful reminiscences. He enjoyed the intimate friendship of such distinguished men as Alfred Hennen, John R. Grymes, Slidell, Christian Roselius, S. S. Prentiss, Judah P. Benjamin, Mr. Bonford, Charles Gayarre, Judge Walker and other typical representatives of the old Louisiana bench and bar. He also knew, intimately, Dr. Warren Stone, Dr. W. Newton Mercer, Dr. Augustas Cenas, and others equally distinguished in scieff. Mrs. Ives' home was a great centre for the young folks. That night all the prettiest girls in Richmond were taking part in the charades, and some of the most brilliant officers of the army. There were present Mr. Davis, Mr. Stephens, Judah P. Benjamin, Secretary Mallory, Mrs. Mallory—in fact, all the cabinet officers and their wives, the representatives in Congress, justices of the Supreme Court, etc., and General Stuart was the observed of all observers, as he gaily led the charades.

Judah P. Benjamin. [from the Charleston news and courier, January, 1898.] [See Ante, pp. 297-302.] We are indebted to the Hon. James Sprunt, of Wilmington, N. C., for another interesting contribution in regard to the early life of Judah P. Benjamin. He is confirmed in his opinion that Mr. Benjamin lived in Fayetteville, Judah P. Benjamin. He is confirmed in his opinion that Mr. Benjamin lived in Fayetteville, N. C., and attended the Fayetteville Academy, where he attained distinction in his studies, and was prepared for college. His conviction is based upon the competent testimony of the venerable R. C. Belden, Esq., of this State (North Carolina), who was an intimate friend and schoolmate of young Benjamin. We publish both Mr. Spruntmany cities should claim the honor of his residence. We hope that the Hon. Francis Lawley, of London, will not omit Charleston from his story of the Life of Judah P. Benjamin. But for the care which was taken of his friend and confidant in this old town, probably the world would never have known him; the world, as we all know, is
