During the last daya of Oliver Wen. ell Holmes' life he visited Washington In company with Robert O. Wlnrhrop, and both of the venerable men visited toe senate chamber on the occasion ol tome ceremonies which crowded the galleries with people, ao that they were Suable to obtain seats. They sent toett cards to Mr. Bvarta, hoping that he might arrange place for them, and when be met them In the marble room be explained the difficulty. "The galleries are crowded, as you know," he said, "and the rules of tha senate admit to the floor ot the cham ber only members of the two honaet of congress, members of the cabinet. Justices of the supreme court, ex-tnt-Btors, persons who have received the thanks of congress and private sec ro ta ries to senators, I cannot got yosj admission In any other capacity, but if you will accept highly respectable and .remunerative employment aa my private secretaries I will find you seats on the door." Hoth the poet and the statesman accepted, and Sir. Evarts took them lo tin- door, where ho dresped tin- doorkeeper ns follows: "Sly dear sir, these two yoing rues are my private secretaries. You will observe that they ore both very greet) and Ignornntr but I am trying to bar patience with llietn and overlook their deficiencies. 1 wish you would take good look at them so that when they come here again to see me you will know them.' And with that be pushed open the swinging doors and motioned Dr. Holmes and Mr. Vithrop to pose In, while the doorkeeper In a bewilder td sort ot way remarked In an un dertone: "Well, I'll be blanked!"
