A REMARKAHLE MAN . —Mr . M . Chuzzlowit and Mr . M . Tapley wero frankly surprised by the number of eminent citizens whoso acquaintance they made in their visit to the United States . " Tbo most remarkable man in the country " was then chiefly remarkable becanse there were so many of him . One hesitates , therefore , to pronounce auy American dignitary to be of peculiar eminence , lest
some of the great Americans cf Dickens s day may still survive the publication of "Martin Chuzzlewit . " But a man has lately left the great Republic for fairer realms on high who seems to have had a variegated claim upon his f el low-citizens for geucral admiration . That he was a General goes for little ; that he was a Freemason goes for less . Bnt bo was something mure : he is called " the Nestor of
American Freemasonry , " and is said to have " occupied a commanding position among tbe Masonio potentates in the world . " Then , he was a poet .
