Seward promptly wrote from Auburn: Your speech in every part is noble and great. Even you never spoke so well. This and Sumner's later address at Worcester he called masterpieces. Descriptions of Sumner as an orator, stating his peculiarities, were given by Theodore Tilton in the New York Independent, July 19, and by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe in the New York Tribune, November 16. Sumner, as usual, was more sensitive than he need to have been to the criticisms of old friends like Greeley and Bryant, and to the want of response from others; and in a letter to Gerrit Smith, June 11, he mentioned how much he missed Horace Mann, William Jay, and Theodore Parker, all recently deceased, of whose sympathy he was always assured. But the popular approval he received was all he could desire. He wrote, September 2, to R. Schlei

the hostess. It was at this house that there were to be found gathered, more frequently than anywhere else, the literary or artistic people who were then so abundant in Newport,--where no other house was to be compared with it except that of Mrs. Howe, who then lived in the country, and had receptions and a world of her own. We had, for instance, Dr. J. G. Holland, now best known as the original founder of the Century magazine, then having but a fugitive literary fame based on books writt galloping over the Newport beaches. On one of these occasions, after he had dismounted to adjust his fair companion's stirrup, he was heard to say to her caressingly, Don't call me Mr. Bancroft, call me George! In regard to my friend, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and her Newport life, I have written so fully of her in the article on page 287 of this volume that I shall hardly venture it again. Nor have I space in which to dwell on the further value to our little Newport circle of such women as Kat

with his letters to the senator, already given, and with his tribute in the New York Independent, March 19, 1874. The Springfield Republican, March 10, 1873, dealt plainly with Mr. Garrison's participation in the contest. He was joined by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, who having signed the petition for rescinding now appeared to oppose it. E. L. Pierce, at Mr. Whittier's request, closed the hearing with a reply to the remonstrants, in which he sought to make clear the points of controversy, and took is, who applied subcutaneous injections of morphine. Relief then came, followed by sleep. He wrote to E. L. Pierce, April 12: I am sorry to report that I am very feebe, and do not seem to gain strength. The last two days I have taken to my bed. Dr. Howe called yesterday. I think he understands my case precisely; but he is against medicines, especially poisons. The attacks of the angina became during this month less frequent, and the last was on the 20th. His restlessness at night continued,

Chapter 1: Ancestral These are my people, quaint and ancient, Gentlefolks with their prim old ways; This, their leader come from England, Governed a State in early days. I must vanish with my ancients, But a golden web of love Is around us and beneath us, Binds us to our home above. Julia Ward Howe. Our mother was once present at a meeting where there was talk of ancestry and heredity. One of the speakers dwelt largely upon the sins of the fathers. He drew stern pictures of the vice, the barbarism, the heathenism of the good old times, and ended by saying with emphasis that he felt himself bowed down beneath the burden of the sins of his ancestors. Our mother was on her feet in a flash. Mr. So-and-so, she said, is bowed down by the sins of his ancestors. I wish to say that all my life I have been buoyed up and lifted on by the remembrance of the virtues of mine! These words are so characteristic of her, that in beginning the story of her life it seems proper to d

a meeting of the National Peace Society at Park Street Church, Boston. The church was packed with people. When her turn came to speak, the kindly chairman said:-- Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now to have the great pleasure of listening to Mrs. Howe. I am going to ask you all to be very quiet, for though Mrs. Howe's voice is as sweet as ever, it is perhaps not quite so strong. But it carries! said the pupil of old Cardini.

The silver tone, though not loud, reached the farthest corner of the great building; the house came down in a thunder of applause. It was a beautiful moment for the proud daughter who sat beside her. Music was one of the passions of her life. Indeed, she felt that it had sometimes influenced her even too much, and in recording the delight she took in the trios and quartets which Mr. Boocock arranged for her, she adds: The reaction from this pleasure, however, was very painful, and induced at times a visitation of morbid melancholy, which threatened
