How he stilled the storm which was then and guided tho helm of State to the ha yen of safety, is rerecorded in the annals of the nation's nt history. Of the members of Mr. Fillmore's Cabinet during his glorious administration, only Uirco remain to call to mind a period so fraught with historical interest, so nseniorable for the greatness of achievements obtained in the fields of statesmanship, so ennobled by a lofty patriotism aud generous sacrifices. Webster, Everett, Corwin, Hall, Kennedy aud Crittenden, have, paid tribute to the rave, bequeathing to posterity untarnished names, and bright examples of public virtue' and .undefilcd honor. Conrad, of Louisiana, Graham, of North Carolina, and Stuart, of Virginia, yet live, but their old age has been embittered by a. cruel adversity, and the dire necessities of By a curious dispensation, they alone among- their former colleagues in the Cabinet who lived North of, the Potomac, are reserved to meet their eminent chief, amid the same scenes where they contended in the political struggles of the age. The Mdd Capitol, where their compeers assembled,, has undergone a metamorphosis, and on that spot on the 4th of July, 1850, Fillmore laid the corner 6tone of the extension of the huiiding, which to day is one of the ni06t superb models of composite civil war. - architecture.

He abandoned a erown that sat uneasily upon his head after passing through a terrible ordeal as if by fire. He narrowly escaped the shot which was aimed at his heart. Castelar was beyond question, the most fitting man for the position of President of the Republic. He was popu lar'and able, not sufficiently radical for the extremists, yet too conservative for the progressionists. He tried to control a turbulent people by a resort to. constitutional and moder- tion of their suffering countrymen, and to ,the recuperation of th.e. energies and fortunes of their conquered land. Mr. Stuart, who is past eighty years f age, is now a prominent candidate for tne position of United States Senator from Virginia.

The most .profound sympathy for Mrs. Waters, was manifested by the large congregation present. After the services the lid of the coffin was enclosed, and the people filed along the bier to take a last look at the well known features of one who but lately was among us full of life and hope.
