rican, or Know Nothing, party taking the same position as the Republican on the slavery question, prevailed at the election, and their candidate for governor, Henry J. Gardner, received a large plurality. The Boston Whigs (the remnant of the party long dominant in the State) again resisted the fusion, and gave a third of the fourteen thousand votes which were received by the Whig candidate, Samuel H. Walley, who was supported in speeches or letters by Choate, Winthrop, Hillard, Stevenson, F. C. Gray, and N. Appleton,—names already familiar to these pages. Their newspaper organ, the Advertiser, with unchanged proprietorship, appealed to old prejudices, and rallied Whig voters with the charge that the Republican party was a geographical and sectional party, with aims and tendencies hostile to the Union and the Constitution. So virulent was its partisanship that on the morning after the election it counted triumphantly, using capitals, the aggregate vote of Know Nothings, Democrats, a

is appears in letters in manuscript from Fish to Sumner. Some of them apply coarse epithets to Seward, to which it is not worth while to give publicity. He was utterly out of sympathy with the antislavery movement which resulted in the Republican party. He was opposed to the efforts in the State of New York in 1855 to form a Republican party, in which Preston King, John A. King, and Edwin D. Morgan co-operated; and he rejoiced over its defeat by the union of pro-slavery Americans and Silver Gray Whigs, as likely to effect Seward's exclusion from public life. He wrote to Sumner, Nov. 8, 1855:— Fusion, I believe and hope, is soundly beaten in New York; with it Seward is beaten. I cannot find tears to shed on either account. The Republican vote embraced all the Seward men, the bulk of the Abolitionists, and a large number of Whigs (anti-Sewardites), who, in the noise and confusion of the breaking up of an old organization, found themselves in the predicament of your illustrio

sm, Mr. George H. Monroe, thus sketched this part of his remarks:— Passing to the consideration of a subject more specifically appropriate to the occasion, Mr. Sumner said he had once dined in company with Daniel Webster on a social occasion, when there were present William H. Prescott, the historian of Spain and her possessions; George Ticknor, who taught the Spaniards the wealth of their own literature; Joseph G. Cogswell, the most eminent bibliographer the country had produced; Francis C. Gray, and many others of distinction. The subject as to what influence exerted the greatest effect upon men's character and acts came up for discussion. Mr. Prescott declared that a mother's influence was the most potent, and paid an eloquent tribute to the female sex in this relation. Another gentleman expressed the belief that most was owed to schools; another gave the preference in his judgment to books; another to the newspaper. He (Mr. Sumner) sat, the youngest man in the party, an

lege printer. Facing Weld on the opposite side of the quadrangle is Matthews, built in 1872 by Nathan Matthews of Boston. Southwest of Matthews and facing the square stands Dane Hall, a gift in 1832 from Nathan Dane of Beverly, Mass. Until Austin Hall was built, this was devoted to the uses of the Law School. At present it is occupied by the Cooperative Society, headquarters for books and student's supplies, and contains one lecture room. Passing from the quadrangle between Weld and Gray's we observe on the right a large granite building. This is Boylston Hall, the chemical laboratory, and was built in 1857. On the wall facing the street is a tablet which informs the reader that- Here was the Homestead of Thomas Hooker 1633-36 First Pastor at Newtown Thomas Shepard 1636-49 John Leverett 1696-1724 Jonathan Mitchell 1650-68 President of Harvard College First & Second Ministers of Edward Wigglesworth 1726-68 the First Church of Cambridge First Hollis Professor of Divinity &

efforts he had gathered a great collection; with his own money he was caring for it, and such care is costly. His private life was a constant struggle with the poverty thus voluntarily incurred. But better days were to dawn. Financial burdens were lightened by the very successful school for girls opened by his wife. In this school he himself took delight in giving the young women their instruction in science. At last, in 1858, he knew the relief of having his burden shared. Mr. Francis C. Gray left $50,000 for a Museum of comparative zoology, to be established at Harvard. Land was at once given by the University, aid was granted by legislature and over $70,000 was subscribed by citizens. Now a suitable building could be erected and there were pecuniary resources sufficient to care for his beloved specimens. Although Agassiz was permitted to see only the beginning of the new institution, it has probably developed nearly as it would have done had he lived to direct it h

Mr. Gray assumed the direction of the business details, set the subscription afloat, stimulated its succis plan was, however, known to many of his friends, and especially he had explained it to Mr. Francis C.
