for threatening to tweak his professor's nose obtained a commission at once. Another case of this sort was so pathetic that it deserves to be commemorated.

Sumner Paine accepted this, and ten days later he was shot dead on the field of Gettysburg. Governor Andrew felt very badly; for Paine was not only a fine scholar but veryPaine was not only a fine scholar but very handsome, and, what is rare among hard students, full of energy and good spirits. Governor Andrew tried a number of conclusions, as Shakespeare would call them, with the National Government during the war, but the most serious difficulty of this kind resulted from Secretary Stanton's arbitrary reduction of the pay of colored so

Up to about eleven o'clock we had met with but one casualty. About eleven, Generals Grover and Paine ordered us to charge the works. The Twelfth Maine was in front of us. We marched forward on what may be called a natural was given, and we lay down on the causeway, while our artillery played upon the enemy's works. About twelve o'clock General Paine gave the order for the five right companies to skirmish, the five left to storm the works. A few moments before, I she was already dead, supported in Lieutenant Howland's arms.

Paine of Boston, and great-grandson of Robert Treat Paine, a patriot of the Revolution. His mother was Fanny C., daughter of Hon. Charles Jackson. When eleven years old, he went with his family to Europe, and even at that age explored with great interest all the ruins in and around Rome. The summer in Switzerland was an intense delight to him; he accompanied his brothers in two pedestrian excursions among the Alps, exploring most of the passes of central Switzerland and the valleys of Zermatt .and Chamouni, and climbing some of the highest mountains without the least fatigue. Twenty or thirty miles a day over a high mountain pass was to him the height
