Higginson, steaming up the Edisto, was to make a fresh attempt to cut the railroad, so as to prevent trom Savannah. Save as a distraction of the enemy, this latter movement proved a failure. Col. Higginson, with 300 men and 3 guns, on the gunboat John Adams and two transports, pushed July 10. uing farther up, repeatedly grounded, and found the bridge defended by a 6-gun battery, whereby Higginson was worsted and beaten off; being compelled to burn the tug Gov.

Lydia Maria child. T. W. Higginson. To those of us who are by twenty years or more the juniors of Mrs. Child, she presents herself rather as an object of love than of cool criticism, even if we have rarely met her face to face. In our earliest recollections she comes before us less as author or philanthropist than as some kindly and omnipresent aunt, beloved forever by the heart of childhood, --some one gifted with all lore, and furnished with unfathomable resources,--some one discoursing equal delight to all members of the household. In those days she seemed to supply a sufficient literature for any family through her own unaided pen. Thence came novels for the parlor, cookery-books for the kitchen, and the Juvenile Miscellany for the nursery. In later years the intellectual provision still continued. We learned, from her anti-slavery writings, where to find our duties; from her Letters from New York, where to seek our purest pleasures; while her Progress of religious ideas

Margaret Fuller Ossoli. T. W. Higginson. Travelling by rail in Michigan, some ten years ago, I found myself seated next to a young Western girl, with a very intelligent face, who soon began to talk with me about literary subjects. She afterwards gave me, as a reason for her confidence, that! looked like one who would enjoy Margaret Fuller's writings, --these being, as I found, the object of her special admiration. I certainly took the remark for a compliment; and it was, at any rate, a touching tribute to the woman whose intellectual influence thus brought strangers together. Margaret Fuller is connected, slightly but firmly, with my earliest recollections. We were born and bred in the same town (Cambridge, Massachusetts), and I was the playmate of her younger brothers. Their family then lived at the old Brattle house, which still stands behind its beautiful lindens, though the great buildings of the University Press now cover the site of the old-fashioned garden, whose

and untiring application to her studies, she graduated with high honors. Having discovered her talent for oratory in the debating society at Oberlin, she decided to fit herself for a public speaker. On her return to New England she became an agent of the American Anti-slavery Society, lecturing alternately for the slave and woman. She travelled through the Western and some of the Southern States, speaking in all the large cities. In 1855 she was married to Henry B. Blackwell. Thomas W. Higginson performed the ceremony. She accepted the usual marriage under protest,--her husband renouncing all those rights of authority and ownership which were his in law, and she retaining her own name. Although this has been to her a source of great annoyance and persecution, from friends as well as enemies, yet, feeling that the principle of woman's individualism was involved in a lifelong name, she has steadily adhered to her decision. I honor her for her steadfast principle. The firs

all, from the duty of the United States to guarantee to every State a republican form of government. He dwelt at almost wearisome length on the meaning of the constitutional phrase, a republican form of government, and rejecting various definitions, maintained as his main thesis that no government was within the guaranty which was founded on caste and excluded great masses of citizens from a share in it solely because of conditions of color and race which were beyond their control. T. W. Higginson, writing February 18, noted with admiration the thoroughness and exhaustiveness of the speech, finding nothing in contemporary statesmanship, here or abroad, to equal it. His quotations, gathered from a wide research in books on morals and politics (some front French sources), were in some instances given a broader meaning than their authors intended. Compare Lieber's letter to Sumner, in his Life and Letters, pp. 360, 361. The latter part of the speech laid stress on the advantages

al. March 31, 1868, Works, vol. XII. pp. 282-317. Gerrit Smith published a friendly criticism on Sumner's view, thinking that his learning had misled him, and repeated his dissent also in a letter, April 21. 1868. Sumner made a reluctant protest against the decision of the chief-justice that he had the power to decide on interlocutory questions, in which he referred to their fellowship for long years, and acknowledged his old friend's fidelity and services. Sumner, in a letter to T. W. Higginson, April 11, repelled the charge of unworthy motives which had been imputed to the chief-justice, and declared his confidence that the latter would prove true to the principles he had supported through life. The idea of a practical repudiation of the public debt, which three years after the war amounted to twenty-five hundred millions of dollars, had seized on large masses of voters, especially in the Western States. The burden seemed heavy, heavier than it proved to be; it was a cho
