Mr. John Needham could have as tonished that outer world very much in re- gard to his treasury appointment, if he had held forth on the subject. Nobody could .have dreamed of how great an importance his elevation was in his own estimation. He hardly dared confess to himself the truth of his position; nor did it seem necessary since Fortune, in this matter, appeared to `smile so benignantly upon him.; He was ` quite satised with himself, contented, hap-' py, and if there were obstacles in the future that threatened his peace, he did not fear them; they were shado ws that his rising sun would speedily dissipate.

Dick was dark, almost swarthy, with a large, generous mouth, closely knit forehead, strong hands, a broad chest, and a strong, manly way of expressing his opinions, and a gentle, tender manner towards Kate that was in strong contrast with his otherwise robust and almost noisy self-assertion of himself, when she had not to be considered. 111?. , .

It was a time when finan- cial acumen, and a reputation _for it, was of especial value. Mr. Needham knew how to advertise himself without appearing to do so. It seemed as if London had been wait- ing for him, so quickly were his services in request among the great nancial corpora- tions of the day. The name of John Need- ham, Es-q., M. P., was a name to conjure with. At the hvd of a. new board, banking or railway, it gave a new value to the com- pany's scrip. - lie pervaded the atmosphere of any in stltution which he patronized with a sense of security. i . In all hisengagements he was punctuality itself. His house in Portland place was a model of -luxurious simplicity. He gave dinners that were the talk of epicures, not for the elaborate character of_ the menu, but for the perfection of the cooking and ser-4 - vicean l the excellence of the wines.

The railway mania was also turned to some ac- count, and it was understood by the party which nominated him for parliament that he could well afford to maintain in town a position of dignity and independence.

[But from the moment John Needham ar- rived in London he put on, with his parlia- mentary honors, the air of the man of wealth. And he was accepted at his own professed valuation. He had the special faculty of impressiveness, the capacity to inspiredtrust, the power of inuence; and whatever natural gifts he possessed he had the art to exhibit them, without appearing to do so. .He was essentially a clever man. vain, politic, a man with an ever-active am- bition that gave spirit to his natural au- -dacity.

LUZ : A tall, silent man, John Needham was of pale complexion, closely shaven, had thin brown hair, dark-blue eyes`. a hesitating manner. ail was fond of dress, even to womanishness. His Irish friends called him "the top. He invariably wore an orchid in his buttonhole, adiamond on the little nger of his left hand, a frill in his shirt- front, and he drove the best horses in` town. At home in Ireland he had been un- ostentatious in his ostentatiousness, if one may be allowed to be paradoxical; for though he dressed better than his neighbors he never pretended that he could very well afford it, and he would associate with the humblest of them on equal terms. nu}-. fr/-n-n 9-`In rnnrnnnft _Tnh~n nnntllannn nun Hill I Uuuuuun ` Prior to the general election of 1847 John Needham had been known byhis fellow- townsmen in Ireland as a respectable man. Nobody suspected him of the great capacity for gures and politics which he eventually developed. His constituents selected him to oppose the spirit and inuence of Lord John Russell's famous letter to Lord Dur- ham. He was elected a member of parlia- ment on these simple lines at the general election of 1847. 2 A L_II -31." 7,1,, 'lT,,II,, h The ngvspapem of the time (I have a file of them before me) were full of the tragic story, and a. deceased journalist has in- cluded the history of the case in a record of The Commercial Crisis of 1857-8.
