cej tional lawyer. I think the report is
correct in the statement, directly made,
that to him the money to begotten from
his profession was its least attraction. II*
Kacticcd the law because he loved it. He
oved it as a science; he loved to dig and
delve in it; and the fee was the least con
sideration to him. He was known, not
ouly to the bar, but the public in general,
as a man of phenomenal legal information.
He was a man remarkably gentle. He had
a great love for the society of men of cul
ture and learning, and at the same time
was exceedingly companionable,gentle and
patient with the younger and less promi
nent members of the profession. He would
take them, as it were, by the hand, and
lead them along the paths he had
trod, and point out the way. His
modesty was remarkable, and lie was will
ing to freely accord to others what he him-
seif-wouliTrecognize as their superior excel-
Icm-e in any branch.
If lie had ever indulged any political
aspirations he had ceased to do to Wore I
knew him. He was cootent to be a lawyer
and citizen. And while sitting here this
morning the thought occurred to me that
he left behind him that which is more val
uable than anything that a man could ac
quire and leave after him in the more
active spheres of life—such ns poli
tics, or war, or other pursuits it
which men achieve national and
world-wide reputations. He left behind
him in the minds and hearts of a wide
spread circle of acquaintance and friends,
recollection of the kindest and mi st endear
ing characters. Such recollections arc the
richest heritage a man can leave behind
him to those who bear his name orin whose
veins course his blood. Reputation which
goes beyond that is cold and formal.
When we fall to look back with love and
affection to the memory of tbe men we
have known, there is nothing left which is
of any value to them or to those that came
after them.

ation which should precede any indorse
ment to be given the eloquent report which
has just been presented; because I wish to
lay an humble garland upon the grave of
this good man, this able, conscientious
jurist. And I do so for another reason.
As the years of my life grow longer, I real
ize that the living receive so few
of the garlands which their merits
deserve, that I will leave no opportu
nity which is afforded me to bide their
graves with flowers. It seems to be a pe
culiarity of human life that in conse
quence of our daily contact with men, es
pecially when that contact results in an
tagonism of any kind, we oftentimes over
look their virtues in the effort to discover
their faults. If tliere was but one perfect
man ou earth, the story of that life is a
demonstration that even he did not receive
in hia day and generation the praise which
he was entitled to claim.
I knew Judge Hall as a younger mem
ber of the bar, and the record which has
been embalmed in these pages touched me
most profoundly. It spoke in tender but
burning words of his seftse of right, of his
magnanimity, of bis desire to ascertain the
truth, of his j urpcee to administer justice
in mercy; but above all else, it told lue
what I have so often remembered, that he
was gentle and kind and rousiderVe.

and activities and study they were capable
of applying thereto, hail yet, in thi judg-

Brandt entertained the hope that the
United States government could purchase
the collection outright. He requested
Vi Conte to ascertain what the owner
would take for his collection. Turlouia
if .-.id that ho wanted 90,000,000 franca. The
collection was really worth all of that,but
as it was the United States making ihe iu-
S uiry ho would give it his marked dowD

best he could do, $16,000,000. Mr. Braudt
begged to have the refusal of the immense
collection for a few days. Before lie de
cided aa to whether or not he would take
the works off tbe bard-up Duke’s hands,
he renewed his request to Visconte to be
allowed to make copies of some of the
most famous works in the Vatican Musce.
The director feared that if he refused his
friend, Torionia might miss a sale, nnd he
:ave tho desired permission. Mr. Brandt

Of other -works she has oue of the very
few copies. There are but five copies of a
Phidias, and the Telfair Actdemj has one.
The others are at Moscow, Berlin, Munich

works, all of which cost but $-1,000. Mr.
Braudt secured them almost by “special
dispensation” at that price, aa it were.
There is a picture entitled "The
Relics of the Brave” in the Academy,
He found it hanging high up at
the Munich Exposition in 1883. It
was by an artist who was just coming
into reco.nitiou. Mr. Brandt paid £30P
for the canvas, which is a large one, and
took it down. When it was placed in a
good light every one recognized that it was
a picture of unusual merit. The German
papers all cried out that such a painting
should not be allowed to leave the country.
But it was then too late. Prol. Proctor,
tbe renowned man of letters, was looking
at it not long ago and remarked that it is
easily worth £3,000. The artist who
paiuted it is famous now. Mr. Brandt will
make some other artist famous within the
next three months in all probability.
