Charles Dickens and the Brothers
Cheeryble.
There has been not a little controversy as
to the source from which Dickens derived the
idea of these simple-hearted, generous
brothers, as well as that of their eccentric,
but no less good-natured, chief clerk, Tim
Linkinwater. Of late it has been widely
maintained, and even now,with an air of au
thority, that the novelist drew only on his
imagination for their ideal, and had not any
living prototypes in his mind's eye. The
writer is in a position to state a few facts
which may throw light on the subject, and he
is glad to do so while Mr. Dickens is here.
Allowing for a little high-coloring and "the
bringing out into bolder relief" of certain
personal peculiarities, the late eminent Mer
chants, William and Daniel Grant, of Man
chester, were, to all intents—in simplicity,
sincerity, and most nobleand unostentatious
benevolence—the Brothers Cheeryl3le or ac
tual life when and before "Nicholas Nickle
by" was written; while one had only to call
in at the Grants' place of business, in Cannon
street, Manchester (close by the home of the
poet, Charles Swayne), to recognize en the
high stool, ever punctual to his pen and post,
the familiar form and features of Tin Linkin
water. The Brothers Grant were the friends
of Dickens's youth before he started, to seek
his fortune in London. In a work published
in London, entitled "Men • cif , the Time,"
thereis a long and interesting article on Mt.
Dickens, but it either misrepresents, or slurs
.over, many parts of his earlier life. For ex
ample, no one reading that article would ever
suppese that hereceived a considerable part
•of his education at the school of Mr. Giles, of
-Ardwick 'Green, Manchester, well-known
and much respected as a teacher for two gen
erations there. While the impression is con
veyed by the article that the future novelist
first came to London with his father from
Portsmouth or Chatham, when, at VIA con
elusion of the war, the father was pensioned
•off; whereas, it was from the North that
Dickens started, full of ambitious hope, fir
the great city, where so many a no less ar
dent aspirant after literary fame and fortune
than he had long before experienced the
sickness of "hope deferred," and prematurely
found only the rest of the grave, instead of
the realizations of youth's romantic dream
ing, and where Dickens himself was destined
to go through many a hard and long trial
before he "soon found lucrative employ
ment as a reporter of parliamentary debates."
It is no object of the writer of this article
to discuss seriatim the early life of Mr.
Dickens, whom he loves and honors for the
benevolent tone and beneficent tendency of
his writings. But as to the identity of the
Brothers Cheeryble with the Messrs. Grant, of
Manchester,Mr. Dickens would be the that
(he is sur) to acknowledge the friendship
that existed between him and them previous
to 1842, and the fact that on a certain day
each year, unless something unforeseen
should prevent it, be was regularly expected
as a guest at Daniel Grant's hospitable home
in Mozley street, Manchester. Both William
and Daniel. Grant, and a younger brother,
John, have long since been called away
from the scene alike of their successful in
dustry and enterprise, and of their large
hearted benevolence and sympathy with
suffering ; for surely never lived three
men who more entirely acted on the prin
ciple :
"Rejoice with the rejoicing,
And with the weeping weep,
Your heart, your soul, your voice in
Divine communion keep." " „
But although the lapse of years has some
what dimmed memory's retrospect,the writer
could give you and your readers some inter
esting facts respecting the career of the
Cheeryble Brothers—facts related with an
honest pride by them at their own table. Not
to trespass too far on your space, however,
here briefly is one. In the days when "coach
ing" had not yet been driven altogether out
of existence by the "iron horse," the traveler
by the coach from Manchester to Blackburn,
on approaching the latter place, would have
his curiosity excited by observing on an emi-
Bence to his right a white tower, not sup
ported by any church or other edifice, and his
inquiries would elicit, if he had the box seat,
from the garrulous, but very sententious
coachman—a perfect Tony Weller in his way,
—a narrative not far wide of the truth. On
that high ground which commands in the dis
tance to the South, a view of Manchester's
lofty and dense chimney forest, one autumn
evening towards the close of the last century,
the two elder Grants, then mere boys, sat
down weary, footsore, on their way to seek an
uncle, who was employed in one of the Man
chester mills. They had only about eighteen
pence remaining, between them ; night was
about to set in, and there were some sixteen
miles of travel yet before them, which they
fora while despaired, in their worn and weary
condition, of being able to accomplish. But
after an hour's rest, and having partaken of
what bread they had remaining, • they again
took courage, put a "stout shoulther to a stiff
brae," and started for the manufacturing me
tropolis, where, that night, they had to seek
shelter in an humble, tavern, at which a few
- pence procured-them a--clean bed and simple
supper. In the morning they discovered
their relative, who was "boss" or foreman of
one of the mills, and front that day, begin
ning in "the ranks," they steadily marched
on to fortune. Their diligence and integrity
were powerfully aided by the same educa
tion they had received in one of "John
Schools"—schools from which vast
numbers of self-made Scotchmen have grad
,uated—and in. 1840, he who stood -on that
memorial tower on a clear day and looked
southward, might follow with his glance for
miles the course of a river studded with fat
tories built and owned by the Brothers
Grant. They acquired immense wealth, and
they made a most noble use of a large por
tion of it. Especially, remembering the
trials of their oWn early days, they were ever
ready to encourage strtiggling youth. Many
a man, now in high'position and prosperous
circumstances, owes his first start in life to
the generous, yet most delicate, help of the
Brothers Cheeryble. " They, and their younger
brother and Tim Linkinwater are now all
gone, but verily "their deeds do live after
them." The above are but a few out of
many facts which the writer can attest from
personal knowledge and information re
ceived from the fountain head.—N. Rue.

Perpetur.te the Class of solitary elephants,
which ',ire known by the term goondahs in
Wis.' and which, from their vicious propen
sities, and predatory habits, are called Hora
or it (Agates, in Ceylon.
A rogue elephant is like a rogue among us
--an outcast: and like the human namesake,
he revenges himself by giving up his life to
mischief. In Ceylon "they spend their nights
in marauding." They destroy plantations;
they, tread down gardens, they ruin rice fields
and cocoanut trees. They hide in the forests
in the day time, but sometimes they will
venture out and boldly carry off booty from
the fields, or suddenly rush on the traveler ins
the thick woods and murder him without
mercy. They seem to hate men, and no
doubt have causes enough to do so from their
point of view. The natives are glad when
English sportsman arrives, and eagerly offer
to gnide him, in the hope that he may lay
low one of these truly elephantine foes.
The natives tell many interesting stories of
'their adventures with rogue elephants; and
from these narratives as written by a Sing
halese gentlemen, I will ,select one of the
best.
The superintendent of a cocoanut planta
tion near Negorabo told a story of an adven
ture with an elephant, which shows that
four-legged "rogues are addicted to "sport"
as well as two-legged hunters.
A "regue , elephant " had done so much in
jury to the plantation that the owners deter
mined to kill it. They made up a party
of ten riersons, who carried six loaded rifles.
The leader was Mr. Lindsay, an Englishman
who was then living at Ceylon.
As they were quietly walking along the
path which led to the spot where the
elephant bad been seen an hour before, the
native who was in advance shouted wildly,
"There! there!" and took to his heels. 'The
brute at this time was only thirty or forty
yards from the hunters. Every ,:of them
at once followed the example o sizl native,
and ran for his life. The elephant gave
chase,screaming at the top of his shrill voice.
The Englishman succeeded in reaching the
branches of a tree in safety; the rest quickly
imitated his example.
"As for myself;" said the gentleman who
told me the story, "although I made one or
two superhuman efforts, I could not climb
the tree. But there was no time to be lost.
The elephant was running at me with his
trunk bent down in a curve toward the
ground. At this critical moment Mr. Lind
say held out his foot, by the help of which,
and then of the branches, which were three
or four feet above my head, T managed to
scramble up the branch. The elephant hesi
tated a. few moments, evidently
considering what was best for him
to do. His mode of attack shows
how sagacious these huge creatures are.
First, coiling his trunk around the stem of
the tree, he tried in vain to tear it up by the
roots. Putting his head against it he endea
vored to push it over. After pushing for
several minutes he found that his efforts were
useless. Then, in order to weaken its hold,
he trampled down all the projecting roots,
moving round and round the tree as he did so.
He failed again to push it over, and tried
again and again. Seeinr , a pile of timber
near by which had beeri'lately cut down, he
carried it, piece by piece, to the root of the
tree, and piled it up with as much judg
ment and skill as if he had served an appren
ticeship to a wood-sawyer.
After carrying thirty-six pieces i he mounted
the platform, put his hind legs on it, raised
the lore part of his body and rested - it on the
tree, and then reached out his trunk for his
prey. But the stratagem failed; they were
still out of reach.
Mr. Lindsay now thought that as fair play
was no more than his due, he would try his
skill on the elephant, and after two shots suc
ceeded in killing him. It is only "rogue,"
or outcast elephants, or female elephants after
their young have been killed, that are dan
gerous to travelers . . The ordinary elephant is
not, like the "rogue," savage, wary and re
vengeful, or as Sir S. Baker expresses it,
"thirsting for blood, and knowing no greater
pleasure than the act of crushing his victim
to a shapeless mass beneath his feet."
The Weeping Princess.
The story of lowering the Russian flag in
Alaska Mid the tears of a Russian princess,
tearing of the-flag, etc., caused something of
-
a sensation. The story was a sensation. A.
correspondent tells how it came about. Many
of our readers will remember the "crazy cor
respondent" spoken of,. who some years ago
flourished to something of an extent in this
city. The following sketch will be interest
ing
Now a word of explanation will set at rest
all doubts, and do away with all cause of
wonder on the part of our Eastern friends, -
concerning these same sensational de-.
spatches. The simple truth of the matter
is that the New York Herald sent to
Alaska a crazy-looking genius, who calls
himself Dr. Byron Adonis,wears his hair hi
long ringlets down his shoulders, and is the
most perfect picture of the ideal love-stricken.
youth I have ever seen. This curious fellow
—whose real name is Jamieson, I am told—
was the victim of more sells on the trip than
you could recount in a month. Being on
shore, one day, in a state bordering on ine
briety, to say the least, ho blundered into the
house of a Russian musician, insulted his
sister, and was ordered out of the premises
on the double-quick by Russ. This fact
coming to the ears of„ the wags on board the
John L. Stevens, they cooked up a cock-and
bull story about the Russian having been on
board demanding vengeance, and got a sol
dier who could write in the Russianlanguage,
to write Dr. Adonis a letter demanding in
stant satisfaction, which the writer himself
read to the horror-stricken correspondent of
the Herald. The latter at once penned a
letter to the Russian, offering to make any
possible amends for the insult he had offered,
and ending : "If this does not satisfy
you, my lite is at your disposaL" A. rejoinder,
refusing all satisfaction; - save that ,of the code
of honor, was concocted and read to him by
the same parties. "A duel with short swords
was now arranged and forced on Adonis, and,
from that time forward, they had biin in ,

was ready to•return to California. The whole
of this correspondence is now in San Fran

MORALS AT WEST POINT.—The Chicago
Tribune publishes a private letter from a
graduate at West Point, which is rather
severe on the morals of the Military Academy.
After praising it as a school of science, the
writer says :
At West Point there is no moral influence.
Not even the common barriers of society are
there to check and restrain the strong ten
dency toward vice. Religion there is not
even a name, save to be scoffed at and de
rided. The natural result of all this is im
morality, vulgarity, profanity and licentious
ness to a fearful degree. Much of this is
checked by the strict confinement and rigid
discipline, but it bursts forth at every oppor
tunity, and nothing but a strong, thorough
reorganizing of the whole course of training
can ever change the moral atmosphere at
West Point.
Young men go there every year with . good
habits, with unsullied reputations, and ere
six months have passed away they are com
pletely debauched—their ideas are, all
changed. The principles which were as dear
to them as life are broken and forgotten.
Morally, they are shipwrecked, and those that
come after, them imbibe their ideas, and fol
low their bad example. In order to make
their practice more distinctly known to you,
I will begin with the time the new cadet re
ports. He is put under the charge of the
older cadets, who, under the pretence of
teaching him discipline; treat him with the
greatest brutality; and those whose duty it is
to care for him, will assist the other cadets
to heap insults and petty indignities upon
him. He is made to repeat, from the mouths
of his tormentors,the vilest and most indecent
stories and songs, stand upon a montlepiece
and address (upon some vulgar subject) his
audience of other cadets, until his limbs are
ready to fail of their duty, and many other
harassing things, (some of which it would
not be decent to write,) he is made to do.
You may ask why an American youth of
any spirit will endure such things, and why
the officers allow it ? First, when a new ca
det arrives he is alone, without friends, and at
once he is set upon by twenty or thirty old
cadets, whom he hardly knows whether be
ought to obey or not. If he dares to disobey
he must fight, else the opinion of the corps
will be that ho is a coward. If he tights he
is sure of being beaten, for a stronger man is
always pitted against him, and it is the cus
tom of the corps for the third class to co into
"training" about a month before the "Plebes"
arrive, so as to be able to flog the new
comers. You :may exclaim, "What high
toned honor !" '? It is the honor which West
Point - shows to new cadets. - - After - " oingi nto
camp, the new cadet, "d—d Plebe,as he is
called, must do the work of the old cadets,
make the beds, clean guns, run errands,
light pipes, and fill pails of water, which
have been upset on purpose to make work
for MM. These and other things must
he do, and at the game time hear the Most
brutal language addressed to him at all
01=4.
If he refuses to work he is struck, or a pail
of water is thrown upon him, cad then the
public opinion of the corps requires him to.
41ght, and with seconds, umpire acid all" the
equipments of the prize ring these affairs of
honor- come off— Even-at-the mess hall this
petty tyrannical system is displayed; the
Con gressionn4. Portionaloi.
"Plebes" are allowed only What the older
cadets do not wish to eatthemselves.
Tbere are a certain`, number of the upper
classes of cadets appoibted 'ellic'ers over the
rest,and if they have any dislike for any of the
fourth class (Plebes) they show their revenge
ful spirit by reporting them for deeds which
theY never committed. The old cadets do
not consider it dishonorable to treat a "Plebe"
in this manner. They are dead to every idea
of justice, decency, or even common huma
nity.
,
Social Condition of England'
The Londtm Review devotes its leading
article for the new year to a retrospect, and a
confession. The confession is certainly
candid:
"At this time there is no country, no mat
ter how embarrassed or how ppor, in which
there is so much pressing and painful poverty,
so much vices so much misery, as in Eng
land. We have failed witkour lower classes
to such an extent that in the country we find
some of them working like' cattle, fed and
housed worse than cattle; while in the towns
we do not know what with them until
they , are ripe for dropping into the seething
po'pl Of vice and crime. With allour wealth,
and England, is a wealthy country, we have
not succeeded in distributing happiness or
contehtin the proportion of which we'could
, be proud.. , We find massed against us a
gloomy and threatening spirit of insubordi
nation, and a gathering of ominous elements,
from which voices are, heard, that having
broken down in our task we should give it
up to those who will change all things.
Criticism is no longer a function lim
ited to one class. Our future masters begin
to take stock and value of us. ‘--
"In that social life in which most of us are
concerned, which may be placed above the
reach of sordid wants, can we congratulate
ourselves upon a distinct advance? Around
us on all sides we learn of families living upon
fictitious incomes, we find a rate of increase
in;the taste for luxuries so incommensurate
with the means for getting them,hpnestly,that
people satisfy the craving with a'recklessness
which brings ruin upon them. Comfort is a.
word the meaning of which is beginning to
disappear. Every one desires to be rich, and
those who are not rich keep up the pretence
until the wolf is at the door."

MESSAHE OE THE PRESIDENT TO THIS SENATE
The,.President today sent the followipg message to
the Senate, bat which has not yet been formally WM
before that body:
•
To the Senate of the United States
1 have received the following preamble and resolu
tions, adopted by the Semite on the Bth inst.:
Whereas, The Senate. bill numbered 141, end en
titled "An act for the farther security of equal rights
in the District of Columbia," having at this present
, session tamed both housee of Congrese. was after
wards, on the 11th day of December, 1807, duly pre
sented to the President of the United States for his
approval and signature; and,
Whereae, Moro than ten days, exclUsive of Sundays,
have since elapsed in:this session. without said bill
havieg been returned, either approved or disapproved;
therefore,
Resolved, 'That the President of the United States
be requested to inform the Senate whether said bill has
been delivered to and received by the Secretary of
State, as provided by the second section of the act of
the rth day , of July, 1789.
As the act which the resolution mentions has no
relevancy to the subject under inquiry, it is presumed
that it was the intention of the Senate to refer to the
law of September 15, 1789; section ,second of which
prescribes that whenever a bill, order, resolution, or
vote, of the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives, having been approved and signed
by the President of the United States or not
having been returned by him with his objections, shall
become a law and take effect, and It shall forthwith
thereafter be received by the said Secretary from the
President and whenever a bill. order, resolution, or
vote, shah be returned by the President with his ob
jection', end shall, on being reconsidered, be agreed
to be palled and be approved by two-thirds of both
blames of Congress, and thereby become a law or take
effect, shall in such case be received by the said Sec
retary from the President of the Senate or the Speak.
er ot the Hones of Representatives or whichsoever
house it shall last have been approved. •
inasmuch as the 'bill for the further security of
equalrilhieintheDistrictof Columbia has not ;be
come a law in either of the modes designated 'tithe
section above quoted,' it has' ot been delivered tattle.
Secretary of Stute for record and promulgation. The
Constitution expressly declares that if any bill shall
not be returned by the President within ten days,
Sundays excepted, after it shall have been presented
to him, the same shall be a law in like mintier as
if ho has signed it, unless the Congress, by their ad
jourmment, prevent its return, in which case it shalt
not be a law.
Ad stated in the preamble to the resolution, thebill
to which it refers was presented for my approval on
the first day of December, 1887. On the 20th of the
same month, and before &tie ex pin ti on of ,the,ten
, days alter the premtatton of the bill to the Mai
dent, the two houser, In accordance with a concurrent
resolution, adopted on theikl -of Deoemhor, ad
journed until the tith of Janriary, 1868. Congress, by
their adjournment, thus prevented the, return of the
bill within the time prescribed by the Constitution,
.and it was therefore left in the precise condition in
vwhich that Instrument positively declarer a bill shall
not be a law.
If the adjournment in December did not cause the
failure of this bill, because not such an
adjournment as is contemplated by the ' Con
stitution in' the case which I have cited,
it must follow that such was the nature of the ad-
Journmente during the past year, on the Pith day of.
March until the dent Wednesday of July, and from the:
. 20th of July until the 21st of November, to Cathie
other bills to be affected by the decision which may
be rendered in this cue; among them, one having
the same title as that named in the resolution, and
containing similar provisions, which was passed by
both bouses in the month of Jelly last. and failed to
become a law by reason or the adjournment of Con
gress before the ten days for its consideration had been
allowed the Executive.

tive-born citizens in like situation and cLrcum-
stances; and the President is empowered to use
the influence and authority of this Government
In all just endeavors to secure the recognition by
other goVernments of the principles df, public

have been arrested and detained, without charge
of crime committed within the jurisdiction of

unreasonably-delayed or refused, the President
shall be and hereby is empowered, by way of in
demnity and reprisal, to order the arrest and to
detain in custody any subject of such foreign
government who may be found within the juris
' diction of the United States; and the President
shall, without unreasonable delay, give informa
tion to Congress of such proceedings of indem
nity and reprisal.
SEC. 3. And be it farther enacted, That if any
naturalized citizen of the United States shall re •
turn to his native country with intent to resume
his domicile therein, or shall leave the United
,States with the intention of permanent residence

or navy belligerent in any foreign war or service,
such naturalized citizen 'shall not be entitled to
the interposition of the Government inhis behalf,
under the provisions of this act.
Sae. 4. And be it farther enacted, That the term
"domicile," In the, preceding section, shall be
• con strued to mean a continuous residence of more

IXONG.9IIOS.4IFOOND SESSION*
00ACt1781014 OF YESTP.RDAY% PROCEEDINGS.
The first business In order was the ; reference of
certain 'louse bills.
On the second reading of the act supplementary to
the act for the more efficient govenunent of the rebel
States, passed March 2, 1867, postponed yesterday at
his request, Mr. Tioourrix took - the door and said he
would move to amend the ordinary motion of; refer
ence' by adding certain instructions to thetominittee,
as follows :
That the Committee on the 'Judiciary be instructed,
in any bill ithich may be reported by them having
reference to the "question ,of reconstruction," so
called, in any of the Status not represented in the
present Congress, to insert the following proviso:
Proricled leer erg/alai r, That upon an election for the
ratification of any constitution. or of officers under
the same, previous to its 'adoption in any State, no
person not baying the qualifications of an elector
under the constitution and laws of such State previous
to the late rebellion shall be allowed to vote unless
he shall TOllBeEll Orlp of the' 'foilotving qualifications,
namely: -
1. lie shall haye served as a soldier in the Federal
Army for One year Or morev • '
2. Bestiall have sufficient education to read the
Constitution of the United States and to subscribe his
name to at oath to support the same; or,
fi. Lie duel be seized in his own right. or in the right
of Ma wife, of a freehold of the value of $250.
The committee of conference on the cotton tax
bill reported in favor of a compromise amendment,
"that co:ton imported after July 1, 1868, be exempt
from duty." Adopted.
Mr. Giustirs„ of lowa, from the Committee on Naval
Affairs, reported in favor of the bill allowing the sale
of iron -clads, with an amendment.
Mr. NYE obtained the floor, but yielded it to Mr.
TnimithAswhO,Ofterilluding to the claim ofthe Dem
ocratic party to be 'the friends of the Constitution
and the Union, said It was a little remarkable that it
embraced all the men who fought against the Consti
tution and Union, as well' as that the measures the
Senator had announced as unconstitutional were
originated by the men who hod fought andlegialated
to maintain them. He denied that it, as claimed by the
Senator, was in imminent danger. He did not think
that the Senator and his tusisociates had the power to
peril its treat. 'lts Only pcissible danger lay in their
mifapprehe edonsF Of the designs of the_Republican
party and in such speeches as that just made. Re.
.petting the progress of the Southern conventions, he
said reconstruction was going on and would soon re
store Ultra to. the Union, and release them from the
military despotism which so alarmed the Senator.
In reply to Mr. Doolittle's remarks about the measure
affecting the majority of the Suprenie 'Conti, he asked
how he knew that three favored and five were opposed
to the reconstruction acts. He had heard enough
about this charge. If it be true, he continued, that
five Judger; of the Supreme Court , have given their
opinions that the acts of Congress are tuacorustitri
tional, then I say those Ave judges are hafamons, and
ought to be impeachedto-morrow, or just as soon as
it comes before us, If it be untrue, I brand as liars
those who assert it.

Mr. Joncusotr, of Maryland, asked upon what in
formation the Senator repeated the story.
Mr. Tnuisrit er. said the Senator from Wisconsin
hadfspoken of it.
Mr. a082030N regretted to bear that, and did not be
lieve the story to be true in point of tact.
Mr. Tntarnver--Nor do I.
Mr. Joinison agreed with him in censuring it, if It
was 60.
Mr. TBMIIBIIII. said he had too much respect for
them to belleveit. The Senator from Wisconsin had
not wild that five judges expressed such opinions, but
that an attempt was made to subject them to a propo
sition preventing the judges from deciding such ques
tions. Me'presumed the Senator from Maryland had
seen the reperte in newspapers, or heard them in the
Mr eels, however.
Mr. Jomeson denied having seen them, and again
expressed his disbelief of them. ...
Mr. TnuMBUIL went on to speak of the position
with which the Supreme Court had first concluded
they had the right to declare an act of Congress 'un
constitutional. Independent of political ques
tions, he thought that less than a majority
of two-thirds of the whole Court should
never he permitted to pronounce an act unctinatitu
tional by reason of repugnance to the Constitution.
When a bill was vetoed by the President it required
two-thirds of the representatives of the people of the
Union to make it a law. Should three oat of eight
judges then be permitted to say it should be no law?
Why place a Court above themselves, which would be
the case even if twothirds cotdd set aside What two
thirds did. Possibly it would not be _going too far to
require a unanimous opinion of the wholtill Court.
These were questions for careful deliberation, and he
was sorry that they were lugged into the discussion,
they had nothing to do with the . question.
Mr. JOUNSON—They do not belong to it.
Mr. TRUMBULL, alluding to- a remark about the
Chief Justice, went on to say, he hoped they would
act with referencelto the best interests of the country
and not any man's interests in the Presidency. In the
passage or such a measure; he again denied, that any
attempt was being made to establish negro sispremacy.
Many more thousands of whites went to the polls in
rebel States and voted, than were disfranchised, and
though many had been deterred from voting, for one
he wonld never agree to modify the policy requiring
the States to be placed in the trends of loyal men, or
that they should be turned over to the plunderers of
the nation—over to the plunderers of the nation's
wealth—or the would-be murderers of the nation's
life.
The death of Representative Hamilton, of Ohio.
was announced and appropriate resolutions were
adopted, on which Senator Sirgardsw addressed the
Senate, which then, out of respect to the memory of
the deceased, adjourned.
