en chief (Ms. written for publication, but not used). and early in June 16. October he was apprised by cable that George Thompson had passed away. He at once prepared a long Oct. 7, 1878. biographical sketch of his old coadjutor for the New Yormes, Boston Journal and Transcript, Oct. 14, 1878. Mr. Garrison also wrote a briefer sketch to accompany a portrait of Mr. Thompson in Harper's Weekly (Dec. 21, 1878), and sent a heliotype copy of the daguerreotype taken in 1851—the same from which tnt. On the evening of the 3d of February, 1879, the colored people of Boston held a Memorial meeting in honor of George Thompson, in one of their churches, and at the close of a long and admirable commemorative address by George W. Putnam, Mr. TMr. Thompson's secretary during his second visit to the United States, Mr. Garrison was called upon to speak.

He spoke but once again in public, and that was a last plea for the enfranchisement of women, Feb. 14, 1879. before a hostile legislative committee, at the State House. On the same day that he was thus vindicating human rights by advocating the equality of the sexes, Senators Blaine and Conkling, rival aspirants for the Republican nomination for the Presidency, were making their respective bids for the support of the Pacific coast by advocating, in the Senate at Washington, a bill to restrict Chinese emigration, in defiance of existing treaty obligations. The moral sense of the country was shocked by this wanton disregard of a solemn contract between nations, and startled by the recreancy to the fundamental theories of the republic manifested by party leaders of such eminence.

The greater part of July, August, and September, 1878, he passed with his daughter and her family at Tarrytown, on the Hudson, a region appealing strongly to his love of the beautiful and romantic in nature.

For, whatever may be our political and party differences on the day of election, we do not find that nationalities are divided here, but issues pertaining to our own soil and our own institutions are the dividing lines, and we blend together in one mighty mass, though differing in our notions. I therefore say that it is the sublimest spectacle on earth that is now being presented to the gaze of mankind, and my hope is boundless as to the future. Rev. E. W. Allen, a son of the old proprietor of the Herald, was present, and described in glowing phrase the apprentice boy who had lived in his father's house and Ante, 1.55. won the affection of the whole family; and Mr. Frank W.

Once, in a wandering moment, he asked: Am I in England? his mind evidently reverting to his last happy visit there. What do you want, Mr. Garrison? said his physician to him on the morning of the 23d. To finish it up! was the reply. The wish was not long denied. That evening his children sang for him the old hymns of which he was so fond,—Ward, Hebron, Amsterdam, Christmas, Lenox (the last three especial favorites), Denmark, Portuguese Hymn, Coronation, Confidence, and Old Hundred. He could no longer speak, but he manifested his pleasure and consciousness by beating time both with his hands and feet, and was evidently happy in listening to the familiar words of spiritual cheer. An hour or two later the great change began; but so strong was his vitality that he lingered, unconscious, for twenty-four hours, and expired peacefully a<

Speech at Franklin Club Dinner, Oct. 14. The sonnets were printed in the Herald of the 14th, and on the evening of the same day a dinner in honor of his anniversary was tendered to Mr. Garrison by the New England Franklin Club, an association of printers, at Young's Hotel in Boston. Mr. Henry O. Houghton, the founder of the Riverside Press, presided, and the leading printers of Boston, as well as some from New York, were present. Mr. Garrison's address was wholly extemporaneous and colloquial, but spoken with unusual ease and charm of manner. Naturally reminiscent and biographical, in the main, as he recounted his early experiences in the printing-office, and described his various editorial experiments until he established the Liberator, We have already borrowed freely from thi

Ms. Mar. 4, 1879. I was much gratified to receive a letter from Harry H. Villard. yesterday, warmly commending my rejoinder to Mr. Blaine in the Tribune. Indeed, I am equally pleased and surprised to see how favorably it is regarded by the press generally. I am receiving on all hands the strongest expressions of satisfaction in regard to it. The Chinese Minister at Washington was one of the first to send his thanks. Among the many letters received by Mr. Garrison was one from Wong Ar Chong, an intelligent Chinaman (Ms. Feb. 28), closely dissecting and answering Blaine's charges, and another from W. H. Besse, a New Bedford sea-captain, who testified warmly in favor of the Chinese, from thirty years knowledge of them (Ms. Feb. 27). From San Francisco came an unexpected letter from John A.
