He died in the fifty-sixth year of his age, and was ranked amongst the gods, not only by a formal decree, but in the belief of the vulgar. For during the first games which Augustus, his heir, consecrated to his memory, a comet blazed for seven days together, rising always about eleven o'clock; and it was supposed to be the soul of Caesar, now received into heaven; for which reason, likewise, he is represented in his statue with a star on his brow. The senate-house in which he was slain was ordered to be shut up, and a decree was made that the ides of March should be called parricidal, and that the senate should never more assemble on that day. _J. Eugene Reed: "The Twelve Caesars."_ CALDERON (Don Rodrigo, adventurer, who under the title of Marques de Siete Iglesias, rose to the first place in Spanish influence and power, in the time of Philip III.),--1621. "_All my life I have carried myself gracefully_," to his confessor who reproved him for his ill-timed regard for appearances when about to die upon the scaffold. CADOGAN (William Bromley, English clergyman), 1751-1797. "_I thank you for all your faithful services; God bless you_," to a servant who had been with him many years. CALHOUN (John Caldwell, Vice-President of the United States, called the "Father of State-rights"), 1782-1850. "_The South! The South! God knows what will become of her!_" "He died under the firm impression that the South was betrayed and gone." _An unpublished letter from Senator Hunter of Virginia._ CALHOUN (Simeon Howard, missionary in the Holy Land for nearly forty years. He was a thorough scholar in Arabic and Turkish languages, and assisted Dr. Goodell in making the first translation of the Bible into Turkish), 1804-1876. "_Were the church of Christ what she should be, twenty years would not pass away without the story of the cross being uttered in the ear of every living person._" CALVIN (John, one of the greatest of the Protestant Reformers, and "The Father of Presbyterianism"), 1509-1564. "_Thou, Lord, bruisest me; but I am abundantly satisfied, since it is from thy hand._"
