of New York inclined more to operatic music. The brief visit of Garcia and his troupe had brought the best works of Rossini before the public. These performances were followed, at long intervals, by seasons of English opera, in which Mrs. Austin was the favorite prima donna. This lady sang also in oratorio, and I recall her rendering of the soprano solos in Handel's Messiah as somewhat mannered, but on the whole quite impressive. A higher grade of talent came to us in the person of Mrs. Wood, famous before her marriage as Miss Paton. I heard great things of her performance in La Sonnambula, which I was not allowed to see. I did hear her, however, at concerts and in oratorios, and I particularly remember her rendering of the famous soprano song, To mighty kings he gave his acts. Her voice was beautiful in quality and of considerable extent. It possessed a liquid and fluent flexibility, quite unlike the curious staccato and tremolo effects so much in favor to-day. My fathe

Antoinette Brown Blackwell preached to yet another congregation, and Mrs. Henrietta L. T. Wolcott improved the Sunday by a very interesting talk on waifs, of which class of unfortunates she has had much official and personal knowledge. An extended account of our many meetings would be out of place in this volume, but some pointsdicraft of women. Such a space was conceded to us at one of the important fairs held in Boston in 1882, and I was invited to become president of this, the first recognized Woman's Department. In this work I received valuable aid from Mrs. Henrietta L. T. Wolcott, who, in the capacity of treasurer, was able to exercise a constant supervision over the articles consigned to our care. On the opening day of the fair General Butler, who was then governor of Massachusetts, presided. In introducin

This couple belonged to the society of Friends, but had much to say about the theistic movement in the society. In London Mrs. Winkworth went with me, one Sunday, to the morning service of Rev. Charles Voysey. The lesson for the day was taken from the writings of Theodore Parker. We spoke with Mr. Voysey after the sermon. He said, I had chosen those passages from Parker with great care.

We spoke with Mr. Voysey after the sermon. He said, I had chosen those passages from Parker with great care. After my own copious experiences of dissent in various forms, Mr. Voysey's sermon did not present any very novel interest. I had come to London to do everything in my power to found and foster what I may call a Woman's Apostolate of Peace, though I had not then hit upon that name. For aid and counsel, I relied much upon the presence i

inals whom she dismisses from her presence. Of these men and women, whom she has failed to train in the ways of virtue and of industry, she may well say: These are our failures. My words were much applauded, and I think the vote taken was against the punishment in question. . The sittings of the congress were mainly held in the hall of the Temple, which is enriched with carvings and coats of arms. Here, also, a final banquet was held, at which I was invited to speak, and did so. Rev. Frederick Wines had an honored place in this assembly, and his words were listened to with great attention. Miss Carpenter came from Bristol to attend the congress, and I was present when she presided over a section especially devoted to women prisoners. A number of the addresses presented at the congress were in foreign languages. A synopsis of these was furnished on the spot by an apt translator. I recall the whole occasion as one of great interest. I must not forget to mention the fact th

contest. Dr. Howe in reply referred her to her own son for the desired information, saying, Dear Madam Sumner, Charles knows more about public affairs than I do. Why don't you ask him about them? Oh, doctor, if I ask Charles, he only says, Mother, don't trouble yourself about such things. I was in Washington with Dr. Howe early in the spring of 1856. I remember being present in the senate chamber when a rather stormy debate took place between Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts. Charles Sumner looked up and, seeing me in the gallery, greeted me with a smile of recognition. I shall never forget the beauty of that smile. It seemed to me to illuminate the whole precinct with a silvery radiance. There was in it all the innocence of his sweet and noble nature. I asked my husband to invite Sumner to dine with us at Willard's Hotel, where we were staying. No, no, he said, Sumner would consider it infra dig. to dine with us at the hotel. He di
