He stered his mind witb the best thoughts of the great writers and was thus enabled to converse with ease and beauty upon any subject and to speak with great power before judge or jury, from the hustings or from the platform, and in all these relations he shone as a star of the first magnitude- His elo quence was persuasive; his logic convincing, his satire when occa sion called it forth was as keen as the thrust of a rapier, his sen tences were as stately as the flow of a mighty river and Irs imagery was as glowing as the sunset skies of his Southern home. Capt. Hammond was an old fashioned ante bpllum gen tleman. He carried about with him at all times that beautiful grace, courtesy, that was so common before the war, but that is so rare in this rushing age in which the major ity of men, if they have ever learned how, have forgotton to be. polite- He despised all little H.

I think I have never seen a man with as many men from different walks of life to call him friend- When his dead body. robed for its lasl resting place, was laid out in his beautiful home, I watched with swelling heart the stream of people who came to pay their last trio ute of love and respect to a m n whom they had claimed as a friend in life- Upon the porch and within the house, sorrow written on their faces, stood lawyers and preach ers, trauesmen ana iarmers. Poor men, clad in humble gar ments, stood side by side with men whose wealth ran up into the million, all grieving for the man who had been their friend. His love for the South and for the Confederacy was true and strong and yet there was no bit terness in his heart for those tented field. He made all his preparations to leave, even to the conduct of his funeral, and then he calmly awaited the end. I saw that the demand for room him just three days before the final attack came upon him- He vas up and sitting out in the balmy sunshine of the early spring. I could see that he was weaker than usual, but he was the soul of courtesy, and when alady friend came in to see him and asked for a drink of water he would not let her get it by her self, insisting upon bringing it ; to her, and then taking the glass back after she had finished - Although he was a member of another denomination, he proved in more ways than one that he was my friend, and it was al ways a genuine pleasure when I could spend a little while in the company of this brilliant, cul tured gentleman. He will be sadly missed by the general public, by the legal fra ternity, by the old soldiers to whom he was sincerely attached, : 111.1 i lr.i -Af-.. . Artim. W. T.
