unanimity almost without a parallel. The vote of the Senate was given to him without a dissenting voice; and in the Assembly, constituted of several hundred members, there were only a few scattering votes. At last he felt so much restored that, against the persuasion of many friends, he started for Washington, reaching the Capital just before the close of the session, but in time to determine by his vote the fate of the Tariff of 1857. After being sworn in for his second term, on the 4th of March, he yielded to the persuasion of his friends, who were unanimous in the opinion that nothing but rest and recreation could restore him; and on the 7th of March he sailed for Havre.

Physician to the Queen, advised him strongly against any early return to public life. But so deep was his anxiety about certain measures before Congress, he could not be deterred from returning; and in December, 1857, he was once more in his seat. But he soon found that application to public affairs brought on a recurrence of his unfavorable symptoms, and a series of relapses induced him at last to make one more, and, if necessary, a protracted effort for recovery. Consequently, on the 22d of May, the following year,—1858,—he once more embarked for Europe. At Paris he placed himself under the care of Dr. Brown-Sequard, the illustrious physiologist and specialist, who made a more thorough and analytical diagnosis of his case than had ever been made; and he unreservedly expressed the opinion that the blows on the head had taken effect by contre-coups in the spine, producing disturbance in the spinal cord.

pine, producing disturbance in the spinal cord. What then shall be the remedy? inquired Mr. Sumner. Fire, answered Dr. Brown-Sequard. When can you apply it? To-morrow, if you please. Why not this afternoon? That afternoon it was done by the moxa, which was followed by seven other applications, always without chloroform, since Mr. Sumner remarked that he wished to comprehend the whole process; and as for the pain, he cared nothing for it. This treatment had taken place in the month of June, and the result justified the sagacity and learning of Mr. Sumner's very great medical adviser. Probably within the whole range of modern chemistry, its subtle elements of power have in no instance been so exhaustively invoked for the restoration of life; for, although a perfect cure seemed to be an impossibility, yet beyond all doubt it is owing to the matchless learning, and more than friendly assiduity, of Dr. Brown-Sequard, that Mr. Sumner's valuable life was protracted with almost unab

ionally, that the only hope for his ultimate recovery lay in the exceptional and almost unparalleled vigor and vitality of his physical system. After the assault, from which he supposed he would recover in a few days, it soon became evident that the pressure upon the brain, connected with weakness in the spinal column, would render any early recovery an impossibility. He became the guest of Francis P. Blair, at Silver Spring—within an easy carriage ride of Washington. In the fore part of July, he found himself well enough to go on to Philadelphia, where he received the kindest attention from the family of Mr. James T. Furness. At their invitation, he went with them to Cape May. Afterwards, under advice of Dr. R. N. Jackson, he was removed to Cresson, among the highlands of Pennsylvania. But no signs of immediate restoration appeared, and in the beginning of October he once more reached his home in Boston. This return he had postponed, at the earnest persuasion of his medical a

But no signs of immediate restoration appeared, and in the beginning of October he once more reached his home in Boston. This return he had postponed, at the earnest persuasion of his medical adviser, who foresaw that his entry to Boston would be attended with the greatest excitement, for the feeling which inflamed the people of Massachusetts, of indignation on the one side, and of the tenderest affection on the other, could not be repressed.

day he was cupped on the spine, and three-quarters of his time was spent on his bed or sofa, sleeping whenever he could, but finding his chief recreation in reading; although he would frequently attend the public lectures at the College, on History and Literature. Ix. No portion of the earth approaches nearer to the ideal of the invalid's paradise, than the south of France. Bordering on the Mediterranean, That tideless sea, Which ceaseless rolls eternally; whose waters vary in temperature only one or two degrees in the year, and whose climate combines all the soft and genial influences so completely embraced in the term mezzo giorno, and far away from the fire-life Americans lead, he was now on the road to substantial recovery. After one more rapid dash through Italy, he reported himself in Paris to Dr. Brown-Sequard, who now pronounced him well. For a month he took the seabaths at Havre, and at the opening of Congress in December, he was once more in his Senatorial seat.
