X,. ...O , v. , Carcuri of retiring on full pay. I am told it is his ambition to Bervo longer than any man over did on tho (supremo bench. If this bo true ho will have to continue at his post nearly six years longer. John Marshall's career on i tho supreme bench has never been equaled. Ho was chief justice from 1801 to 1835, sitting for 31 years and 5 months, i Justicp Story sat ill years, Justices i McLe-m and Wayno !13 years each, Bushrod Washington 31 years, Justico ' Johnon 110 years, Chief Justlco Taney ' and Justices Miller and Catron each SS years and Justices Nelson and Wood bury each 27 years. There seems to bo something in tho at- mophero of this great tribunal which promotes long lifo and service. Up to date seven chief justices havo spanned ' tho 102 years of the court's existence, an average of nearly fifteen years, whllo 10. associate justices havo sat an aggregate of about 000 years. Even the employees of tho court catch tho spirit of persist ence which prevails there. Between 1800 and 1803 tho court had but two clerks, and one of tho present employees has been at his post for 115 years. John Marshall is tho only man who ever held the ofllces of chief justico of tho supreme court and secretary of state at tho smuo time. This singular fact in our national history is well authenticat ed. In January, 1801, ho was secretary of state under President John Adams. Tho 20th of that month ho was nominat ed to tho senate for chief justice, con firmed on the 27th, commissioned on the 31st and presided on tho bench from the 4th to the lltli of February. Ho con tinued to act as secretary of state until March 3, when tho Adams administra tion came to an cud. It. Ih mi odd fu(!t that nn chief jus tice or associate justico of the supreme legislature court has over been president. A still more remarkable fact is that no j cabinet officer, other than secretary of state, ever became president. It is I true that General Grant was for a tow months acting secretary of war, hut ho was never commissioned as Mich; and it I is also true that at tho beginning of Mad- I ison's second administration JuinesMon- roe is said to havo been secretary of war, but there is no record of his commission in tho department of state, and as he was secretary of statu at tho time, his bi ographer is probably correct when ho ays "for n short time Mr. Monroe also performed the duties of secretary of war." Six secretaries of state havo be come president Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Qniticy Adams, Van Bu ren, Buchanan. By what strange dis pensation of fate havo all the other cab inet oflicers, some two hundred in num ber, failed of the presidency. Probably the greatest u'lleial caret-r this nation has ever witnessed was that of John Qniucy Adams. It is interest ing in this connection to recall the well known facts. lib public career began in 1701, when he was sent as minister to tho Netherlands. Afterward ho was minister to Prussia, member of tho state senate, United States senator, twice min ister to Russia, declined a seat on tho su premo bench, ineinlx-r of tho commission which negotiated the treaty of Ghent, secretary of state, president of tho Unit ed States und for more than sixteen years a member of the house of repre sentatives, dying in tlio uapitoi. uiinng llo man forty years. Ho was twico elected congressman from New Hamp shire and three times from Boston. Ho was four times elected to tho senate, serving in that body nineteen years. Ho was secretary of state under Harrison in 1811 and wni continued under Tyler. Ho was afterward secretary of state under Fillmore. Webster and Blalno are the only men who served twice- as secretary of state under administrations which were not successive. Mention of Clay nnd Webster nt once brings Calhoun to mind. Calhoun was In public life forty-two years. Ho be gan in tlio legislature of his state, a3 nearly all our great publicists begin. Ho then served llvo years In tho house, was secretary of war nearly eight years, and sat In tho senate fifteen years and was secretary of state under Tyler one year. Thomas II.

In a pretty little home she lives wltii a devoted husband mid two beautiful children, aged re spectively six and four. Her homo lifo, when not occupied witli a thrilling do- I tectlvo stoiy, is filled with tho duties of niiv irood wife and mother.

Tho second greatest career was that of Henry Clay. His public lifo began in 1803 and ended in 18M. During these forty-nine years ho was member of the Kentucky legislature, was five times elected senator, six times representative and six times speaker of tho house, was member of commission to negotiate treaty of pence with Great Britain, was secretary of state, and was twice tho un successful candidate of his party for tho I and has been more than nri-sideiiev.

Ho was senator at twenty-nine, speaker of tho house at thirty-four and candidate for the presi dency at forty-two. The career of James G. Blaino has often been compared to that of Clay, but it has not been either so long or so varied, Mr. Blame's public life began in 1859, when he was elected to the Maine legislature, continuing there fimr veins, two years as speaker. He was seven times elected to the house, three times speaker thereof, was once ap pointed and once elected senator, ni.d i.c.s .v.u .fillt i....'xi .r' .vi.ite. He lias been three times a candidate for the presidential Humiliation of his party, and unci) a c.iuiliilato before the people. Many other great careers challenge our admiration. Panlel Webster was a puis Smith, of Baltimore. Ho was a ropro-: sentativo from 17lt;l to 180.1, and again I rrom 1810 to H'2'i, and a senator from 180:l to tain, and from IS'J3 to 18..:i, forty ' years of continuous service in congress. Besides this remarkable career as ti legis lator ho was once mayor of Baltimore, and in the Revolutionary war rose from tho rank or captain to that of brigadier general. Next in point of long service was Na thaniel Macon, who was twenty-four years in the house, where ho served four years as speaker and thirteen years In the senate, where ho was for Bomo time the presiding olllcer. Twenty years ago there was in tho house from Minnesota a man with a re markable family record to boast of. His name was Hugeno M. Wilson, and Ills father, Edgar Wilson, of Virginia; Ills grandfather, Thomas Wilson, and his great-grandfather, Isaac Grifiln, were all representatives in congress. James Monroe's publio career extended over a period of forty-llvo years, in which ho was member of tho Virginia assem bly, senator of tho United States, minis ter to France, novoruor of Virginia, spe cial commissioner to purchase Louisiana of France, minister to England, again governor of Virginia, six years secretary of state and eight years president. A noteworthy career was Alexander Hamilton's. Brilliant in the martial field while barely out of his teens, at twenty-live lu thu Continental congress, at thirtv a power in the convention which formed the constitution, secto taryof the treasury and tlio father of a .inaueii'.l system at thirty-two, falling in a duel at forty-seven. Robert C. Wintluopat forty-two had been live years in tho Massachusetts . ten years in the national house, where he was elected speaker, and one year In the senate. Then his promising public career came to an end, though he lived moro than forty years longer. John S. Crittenden fought in the bat- tie of the Thames, lu 1813, and from that date to his death, in 18011, was almost constantly in public life. After serving a number of years in the state legisla ture ho tepri-M-iiteil Kentucky in the senate from 1H17 to 1810, again Ironi 18:15 I to 1818 and finally trom 185 to 1MB. Meanwhile he was once governor of Ken- tucky and twice attorney general of the United States. Between his Hist tip j pearauco in tho senate and ids filial exit J therefrom forty-four years passed, and then ho rounded out his career "from war to war" by serving two years in the i house. James Buchanan's great public- caret.-: has been forgotten by many people. In tho uiity years between IH'.M and 1HJ1 he was ten years in the house, eleven years iu the senate, minister to Russia. ' minister to France, secretary of etute and president. At tvreiity-tivo Lewis Cass wasjiineni ler of tho Ohio legislature. Ho dis tinguished himself in the war of 1812, was eighteen years governor of Michi gan, five years secretary of war, four years minister to France, twelve years a senator and three years secroary of state. No sketch of great careers would be complete without mention of tlio fifty years of public service rendered by Thomas Jefferson member of legisla ture, delegate iu congies-,, author of the Declaration of Independence, governor of Virginia, minister to France, and also serving in other diplomatic posts, secre tary ot state, vice president, president. Among tho statesmen of our day there uro many with noteworthy careers. James G. Blaine I have already men tioned. John .Sherman, now the Nestor of public life, was six years iu the house, four years secretary of the treasury, and has been twenty-seven years in tluj sen ate, or thirty-seven years in all. Justm H. Morrill was twelve years in the house, twenty-four e F. Edmunds was twenty-six years iu the senate. Wil liam D. Kelley was twenty-nine years iu the house and Samuel J. Randall twenty-eight. Judge Holinan and Charle.i O'Neill aro now entering upon their twenty-seventh year. Forty-three yean ago Isham G. Harris, of Tennessee, win a representative in congress, and he dates fin ther back than any other man now a member of tho national legisla ture. "Old Charley" O'Neill, of Philadel phia, is now the "Father of the House,'" though he ami Judge Holiiiau have served the same time. Tlio honor goes I to O'Neill, however, because his service i litis been more continuous than Hul- mini's. Both O'Neill and Holiiiau are , reiuaikably young looking mid active ' men, and the latter is likely to bo chair- I man of one ot the most iinpuitnut com- I uiittees, and ceitainly the most labori- I ous committee of tho house tho com- mittee on appropriation. .

For four years her handsome, golden haired boy Sterling has worn dresses like those of his sister Rosa mond, and fashioned by the same hand that writes of murder and mystery.

Ques tions from the kitchen to bo answered, childish perplexities to bo cleared away, callers to bo received. With it all not one has ever seen her temper disturbed.

When she has planned far ahead she usually writes on until sho has put hor scheme on paper. She always writes with a lead pencil on uiaiiilla paper held iu her lap. Her husband is the only one who has ever seen her at work. Ho speaks of his wife as a picture of in tensity and absorption. When sho Is being driven on by tho passion that her fancy has conjured or is approaching a climax, her eyes fire, her lips aro com pressed and her pencil seems fairly tolly. Her home is charming, being furnished in rare good taste. Much of tho furni ture is of oak, made from special de signs. Her desk is both simple and unique. The author's portrait is promi nent, and one notices many choice etch ings and engravings. Her reading is very general, prefer ably works of high standing, though she makes it a point to read the books of un known writers. If they are worth read ing she discovers it at a glance. Her timidity is ab-olutcly ludicrous. Iu fiction sho has placed her characters iu most trjing situations. Great difll culties have risen iu their lives, and one illicit think that the continued familiari ty with hiirprisv and embarrassment might engender contempt for actual oc currences uf this sort in the author's own life. The contrary Is true. Mrs. Rholfs is overcautious, especially in caring for her little ones. She is ex quisitely sensitive iu her discrimination between liht and wrong. She is more than careful not to hurt the feelings of others and Is never known to speak ill of any one. Her appearance is pleasing. Sho is of medium height, has dark brown hair, blue eyes, a noso that defies classifica tion and an expressive mouth. Her fea tures are mobile. There are no set or definable expressions. The woman of , one moment can scaicely bo discovered iu the woman of the next. Portraits fail to show her as her intimate friends know her. But whilo the habit of her t thought has impressed her face with a , peculiar exjires-ion of thoiightfulness there is a merry twinkle iu her eye which shows she is not averse to fun. , j Mis.
