Washington, Oct. 22. Sitting 0110

chamber, where Justice Field was pro
hiding over the sea-don of tlio court in
tho absence of tho chief justice, I thought
of tho long career Mr. Field has had on
this high bench and wondered if any of
his predecessors had served as long as
ho has. Justice Field was appointed by
President Lincoln in March, .IbOIl, and
has therefore been nearly twenty-nine
years on tho supremo bench, which Is
more than tho average lifetime- of ma

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. Benton's remarkable career
of thirty years in the senate still stands
as tho longest leoord of continuous serv
ice in that body, lieuton wn-Mieieateii lor ' i0lilf. of Buffalo. 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. Just now a
llio longest congressional career in
our history was that of General Hiumicl

this unique career of fifty-four years he
was fifteen years in the diplomatic serv
ice, five years senator, eight years secre
tary of state, four years president and
sixteen years a representative.
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

beuate mil twice trom the House,
clined the mission to Russia and a place
in the cabinet offered him by President
Madison, and tho mission to Hussiii and
a place in the cabinet offered him by
President Monroe. 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. .

But now the hour has come for breeches,

five hours, the time varying with her
mood. 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. ,

( The success of "The Leavenworth Case" I
has not turned her head. She remains ,
