development. Do not think that I care to teach you this or the other special science. My instruction is only intended to show you the thoughts in nature which science reveals, and the facts I give you are useful only, or chiefly, for this object. . . . Agassiz had the cooperation not only of his brother-in-law, Professor Felton, but of others among his colleagues, who took classes in special departments, or gave lectures in history or literature. Among these additional instructors was Luigi Monti, the Young Sicilian of Longfellow's Wayside Inn, In sight of Etna born and bred, who was at the time teaching in Harvard College. Mr. Kendall's School. Mr. Joshua Kendall's Day and Family School to fit young men for Harvard College was begun in the fall of 1865, its nucleus being some pupils whom Mr. Kendall had taught at his own home, and some others whom he had had with Professor William P. Atkinson, before that gentleman accepted the professorship of English and history at th

d no other, as a personal favor. The secretary, while willing to make other provision for Dr. Howe, declined to recommend him for Greece, to the displacement of a gentleman with whose family he was in friendly relations. Sumner thought Dr. Howe specially fitted for that one mission by early and constant connection with the country, and declined to name him for any other. He was sorely disappointed; but he saw the force of the secretary's reasons, and did no injustice to his motives. Luigi Monti was-displaced from the consulship at Palermo, but Mr. Fish restored him at Sumner's request. His failure to obtain what he had most at heart in the line of appointments makes it doubly improbable that Motley's selection was due to his potency. Unfortunately for Motley, he was required by the President to take with him as secretary of legation Adam Badeau, whose tales of public life are compounded of gossip and fiction, and who has followed hungrily the fortunes of public men, and been

sloyalty are without foundation. She was his companion, and sat by his side in his afternoon drives and at his assassination. She is needy and unpopular. I was the friend of the President, and therefore I exert myself for her. I wish you could see this case as I do. Ever sincerely yours and your husband's. To Longfellow, July 16:โ€” At last the bolt has fallen on Motley. I am unhappy at the thought of the unhappiness in his house. Wilson tells me that there is a talk of removing Monti also. When I see you on that piazza, I will tell you this story ofโ€” Revenge! To Mr. Bemis, then in Europe, July 22:โ€” The removal of Motley is simply brutal. This is the only word to describe it; add also heartless and cruel. I hope you will see him and strengthen him.

painted him, etc., etc. Other participants in the imaginary festivities are the late Thomas W. Parsons, the translator of Dante, who appears as the poet; the theologian being Professor Daniel Treadwell of Harvard University, an eminent physicist, reputed in his day to be not merely a free thinker, but something beyond it; the student being Henry Ware Wales, a promising scholar and lover of books, who left his beautiful library to the Harvard College collection; and the Sicilian being Luigi Monti, who had been an instructor in Italian at Harvard under Longfellow. Several of this group had habitually spent their summers in the actual inn which Longfellow described and which is still visible at Sudbury. But none of the participants in the supposed group are now living except Signor Monti, who still resides in Rome, as for many years back, with his American wife, a sister of the poet Parsons. All the members of the group were well known in Cambridge and Boston, especially Ole Bull
