e were annoyed by the publication. Lord Airlie and his brother-in-law, E. Lyulph Stanley, who visited this country the same season, brought letters to Sumner from the Duchess of Argyll. He attended the Saturday Club dinners, at one of which as a guest was Chase, just resigned from the Cabinet, and on his way to the White Mountains. William Curtis Noyes was another guest. He dined with J. B. Smith when the latter entertained Auguste Laugel; he dined often at Mr. Hooper's, took tea at Mrs. J. E. Lodge's, and passed an evening at James T. Fields's. He began sittings with Milmore for his bust, which was finished late in the next year. In the autumn, as before, his visits to Longfellow at Cambridge were frequent. Robert Ferguson, an Englishman, in his book, America during and after the War (p. 32), quoted in Longfellow's Life (vol. II. pp. 414, 415), wrote his recollections of Craigie House: Sumner, with the poet's little daughter nestling in his lap,—for he is a man to whom all ch

les Dickens, whom he had first known in 1842, dined with him in company with Stanton, when one of the topics was the experience of Sumner and Stanton on the night of Mr. Lincoln's assassination. Feb. 2. 1868. Forster's Life of Dickens, vol. III. p 386: Dickens's Letters, vol. II. pp. 407, 410, 411. Mr. Storey's account of the conversation will be found in Chaplin's Life of Sumner, pp 413-416. Ladies were very rarely at his table,—only Mrs. Charles Eames, widow of his early friend, Mrs. J. E. Lodge, and Mrs. Claflin, who came with her husband. The Marquis de Cliambrun dined often with him, and few foreigners of distinction came to Washington without partaking of his hospitality. He would say to Schurz, who entered the Senate in 1869, Come and dine with me to-day, and I will show you another Englishman. Those who sat at his table recall his cordial greeting and genial smile, with conversation embroidered with both wisdom and mirth, when he exhibited the full and varied attract

y filled his time. On his arrival in Boston it was observed that his step was elastic, and that his former vigor had come back. He said himself that he had not been so well for three or four years. To his physician he wrote, September 5: My general health is excellent. I have a sense of health, and a certain elasticity. During August and till late in September he was at his rooms in the Coolidge House, or at Nahant with Longfellow or George Abbot James. In Mrs. James, daughter of John E. Lodge, he took an almost paternal interest. A room in the house was called the Senator's when it was built in 1868: and from that time he was usually a guest in the summer. Mr. James wrote in January, 1890: It made and still makes our summer a different thing,—missing him! We loved him dearly, and he knew it. His relations with my wife were almost paternal. He was the greatest man I have ever known, and one of the most lovable, with all his peculiarities. While at the sea-shore he received
