toinscribe a becoming recognition of
the lofty fortitude of the uncomplaining saint who had borne the burden of
it through life.
I recall the first meeting of Delano
and Paige. _ The latter, it may be remarked, was exceedingly plain-visaged
with shaggy brows and a nose suggestive of excess of weight rather than of
size. The introduction was sought by
Delano. Paige was at his “case,” putting one of his sermons in type without
hmanuscript. 4
After shaking hands, Delano stared
quizzically into the face of Paige fora

5 cents, was an editor of repute and a writer of
graceful verse. He was an educated
half-caste Cherokee Indian, and came
to the Pacific Coast as early as 1850, at
f the end of a long and bloody struggle
between the Ridge and Ross factions
for tribal control. The latter tri__. aumphed and Ridge, after feeding his
hatred with the blood of more than
one of his enemies, abruptly left the
Chérokee Nation, never to return.
Ridge was tall and graceful, with
finely cut aboriginal features and a
complexion barely suggestive of Indian
blood. To his friends he was loyal
and confiding; to his enemies outspoken and defiant. He loved nature
and his soul was full of tenderness and
song. The great waters of the ocean

in California, but after seeing you Iam
in doubt. What do you think about
itt” ;
“My friend,” returned Paige, slowly
and solemnly, “if you will remove that
mask, with a nose like a sunburnt rutabaga turnip, and allow me to see your
face, I shall be better able to form an
opinion.”
“Hold on!” responded Delano, holding up his hands imploringly ; “I didn’t
think it was loaded with slugs!” anda
boisterous l:uzh showed that he appreciated the retort.
To the end of his life the world saw
enly. sunshine in the face of Delano,
while his heart shuddered in the shadows of griefs harsh enough to have
made him a misanthrope. His wife
died, and there was left to his care an
only son, who from infancy to the age
of manhood had been a bed-ridden and
helpless cripple, and an only daughter,
who became hopelessly insane before
reaching her twentieth year. His home
sorrows were too sacred for the world
to share, and he sank under them all
the sooner because he bore the burden
all alone.

Ridge passed away in the early prime
of his life, leaving a-wife and two or
three children. He was the author of
' small volume relating to the life and
/~~adventures of Joaquin Murietta, the
noted California bandit, and after his
death a collection of his poems was
. printed for the benefit of his family.
It would probably be difficult to ob\ v4 tain a copy of the publication now. It
; ' .contained a number of poems of genu. —-ine worth and a few that should have

The Ridge faction permanently dis-}
appeared at the close of the Southern
Rebellion. Many of the Cherokees
were slaveholders,-and the Ridges fayored the Confederacy. Jobn R. Ridge
was * Democrat, and forashort time
editor of the San Francisco Herald.
His party required his services, and he
gave them, withough he preferred a
quieter and less acrimonious line of

His Last Law Case.
The late William 8. Groesbeck of
Cincinnati never took another law case
after his defense of President Andrew
Johnson. ‘‘The brilliant speech which
won that case,” says the Cincinnati
Oommercial Tribune, ‘‘ proved the man’s
remarkable will and intellectual pow:
ers, He had been so ill as to be confined
to his bed, and on the day of the trial,
and while lying in bed, he jotted down
on a sheet of foolscap paper the main
points of his defense. He was driven to
the tribunal in a carriage, unable to
walk, and spoke extempore for four
hours and a half. At the close article
{1 was voted upon and the president
acquitted without the taking up of any
of the other articles. Since that time
Mr. Groesbeck had lived a life of quiet
and retirement. In 1872 he built Elmburst, a noble house of superb proporsions, commanding a river view of unsurpassed beauty. ’’
