agony since whom, science has control of pain Doctor Morton was a self-made man, but not a rough diamond,--rather one of Nature's gentlemen. The pleasant urbanity of his manner was so conspicuous that no person of sensibility could approach him without being impressed by it. His was a character such as those who live by academic rules would be more likely to misjudge than to comprehend. The semi-centennial of painless surgery was celebrated, in 1896, in Boston, New York, London, and other cities, and the credit of its discovery was universally awarded to William T. G. Morton. About the same time it happened that the Massachusetts State House was reconstructed, and William Endicott, as Commissioner, and a near relative of Robert Rantoul, had Morton's name emblazoned in the Hall of Fame with those of Franklin, Morse, and Bell. This may be said to have decided the controversy; but, like many another benefactor of mankind, Doctor Morton's reward on earth was a crown of thorns.

William Endicott, Jr., of the same city, wrote the same day, invoking Sumner to remonstrate against the national perfidy proposed by Mrnexcusable perfidy should we break this solemn engagement. On technical points he had excellent advisers in Atkinson and Endicott, both experts in finance, and distinguished for disinterested patriotism. It was a characteristic of Sumner, that on suent of resumption. His proposition alarmed those of his constituents on whose wisdom in finance he had relied,—Atkinson, Endicott, J. M. Forbes, Amasa Walker, and J. S. Ropes,—all insisting that the measure was premature, and would derange business wth it there is fixedness and independence; beyond, there is uncertainty of tenure and a measure of subordination.

went into camp for the night, about a mile distant from our former stopping-place, near Petersville. It was with no feelings of regret that we turned our backs on Maryland Heights, for it rained when we approached them, it rained as we ascended them, rained every day we remained, rained a second deluge when we left; and had not the writer satisfied himself to the contrary during a visit to the place in July, 1869, when he spent a delightfully clear and cool night upon the summit with William Endicott, he would be ready to affirm that it has rained there ever since. The night of June 30th was one of the dreariest in our whole career. We were new to the rough experience of campaigning in all weathers, and various circumstances conspired to cast a gloom over our prospects. With the arrival of darkness, the rain commenced to fall again with fresh violence, and our tarpaulins, pitched on the wet ground of a side hill, proved a poor protection.
