It transpired that the Superintendent's assistant had, by mistake, led Mr. Garrison to the western instead of the northwestern part of the cemetery. In the following letter two more instances are recorded: W. L. Garrison to Oliver Johnson. Roxbury, Dec. 28, 1873. Ms. Last Friday, I attended the funeral of our old anti-slavery Dec. 26. co-laborer, Charles Lenox Remond, at Greenwood. He had Mass. been wasting in consumption for the last eighteen months. John T. Sargent, Wendell Phillips, and myself conducted the services. A number of white and colored friends from Salem and Boston were present. Yesterday forenoon, I was present, with many others, at the Dec. 27, 1873. funeral obsequies of our departed friend and aged saint, Sarah M. Grimke, at Hyde Park. We all felt the tenderness of heart Mass. and warm appreciation growing out of the attachments, labors, a

He constantly took occasion, if writing them on other themes, to express his exalted regard for them. He was even repeatedly at pains to write a kindly word to some of his former antagonists in the anti-slavery ranks, recognizing the services they had rendered in the day of small things, and rejoicing with them in the triumph of freedom. One of these was Lewis Tappan, from whom a letter touching his brother Arthur elicited the following reply: Lewis Tappan to W. L. Garrison. Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 29, 1870. Ms. my dear Sir: It would be sheer affectation in me not to acknowledge the gratification your letter has given me. I greet and congratulate you on your bodily and mental vigor, and the fruition of [our] hopes in the emancipation of our colored fellowmen. And as John Quincy Adams wrote to me on the deliverance of the Amistad Africans, so I can unite with you in saying, Ante, 2.326. Not unto us, not unto us, etc. Yes, it is forty years since I first saw you, con

efly Mr. Garrison's utterances on questions which still await their just settlement. the Freedmen.—As an officer and member of the Executive Committee of the New England branch of the Freedman's Union Commission, Mr. Garrison attended 1868-69. many committee meetings during the closing years of the organization, and occasionall removed by the Court, who directed Messrs. Garrison, May, and Quincy to nominate four persons in their place, and the money finally reached the treasury of the New England branch of the Freedman's Union Commission. This fresh controversy with old co-laborers was inexpressibly painful to Mr. Garrison, who felt obliged, by the sharverses on Human Equality, supplemental to, and in the style of, Burns's A man's a man for aa that, were written by Mr. Garrison for one of the gatherings of the New England Women's Club, of which he became an honorary member in 1872.

That object has been stated to you to be the procurement of a simple, moderate, and effective tariff, for revenue purposes exclusively, with the least possible interference with the industrial pursuits of the people; opposition to all special legislation intended to foster private or class interest; the negotiation of treaties of reciprocity with all States upon the continent of North America; the abatement of some of the most onerous taxes imposed under the existing tariff; the restoration of the specie standard of value at as early a day as practicable; and, finally, to promote reform in the civil service, and the appointment of all Government officers upon the sole ground of fitness and ability to discharge the duties of their respective offices. I trust it will meet the hearty approval of this assembly, and at no distant day that of the people of Massachusetts and of the

Freedom, as well as Wisdom, is justified of her children; and in proportion as she bears sway will it go well with any people. On the 10th of December, 1875, Mr. Garrison celebrated at once his 70th birthday and the fiftieth anniversary of his graduation from the Herald office, by going to Newburyport and again taking up the composing-stick in the familiar place. Selecting Whittier's beautiful poem, My Psalm, he set it with almost his old-time rapidity and expertness; and though the type was small, and the case not over well supplied with it, not an error was found in the seventeen verses when the first proof was pulled. While he was at work, an old fellow-apprentice Joseph B. Morss. came in to greet him, and though, from the latter's indifference to the anti-slavery movement, ther

Higginson. He was one of the Vice-Presidents also of the American and of the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Associations, and President of the former for two years. In the wintry months of February and March, 1870, he made two journeys to Vermont, and addressed suffrage conventions at Rutland and Burlington in company with Mrs. Howe and Mrs. Livermore, the question of a constitutional amendment being then before the State Board of Censors. From the exposure thus incurred he narrowly escaped a severe illness, and the gradual impairment of his health may be said to date from that time. When well enough, he never failed to attend the semi-annual suffrage conventions in Boston, in January and May; and at the annual hearings at the State House before the Committees on suffrage and other bills af

Phillips and Senator Wilson spoke im- H. Wilson. pressively. On the death of Henry C. Wright, the conduct of his funeral and the decision as to the place of interment devolved upon Garrison and Phillips as his nearest friends. While they knew that Mr. Wright fully shared their own views as to the unimportance of the fate of the body after death, there was still a question, as he had lacked a home of his own for many years, in which of three or four places that were suggested—Newbury, Danvers, Roxbury, Providence—the burial should be made. Temporarily, the body was placed in the receiving tomb at Swan Point Cemetery, between Providence and Pawtucket, R. I., in which latter town Mr. Wright had died. Mr. Garrison, however, being in poor health at the time, and dangerously ill a fortnight later, the responsibility of determining the matter worried him more than it otherwise would have done. On Sept. 7, 1870, he consulted in Boston a healing medium in whom he had confidence, sole
