bear than the fire. I do not hear of friends engaged in active service, like Trumbull in Illinois, without a feeling of envy. From Aix he went with short pauses to Northern Italy by way of Geneva, Lausanne, Vevay, Soleure, Berne, Zurich, Schaffhausen, Constance, Rorschach, Ragatz, and the Splugen, meeting his friend Fay at Berne, and visiting at Ragatz the tomb of Schelling, in whom he had taken a fresh interest from hearing Mignet's discourse at the Institute. His wanderings during October cannot be traced in order; but after Bellagio he visited Milan, Brescia, Vicenza, Verona, and Venice. From Italy he went to Vienna, Prague, and Dresden. At Berlin he had an interview with Alexander von Humboldt, Humboldt, in appointing the interview, bore tribute to Sumner's noble sentiments. The baron was astonished when assured that Mr. Ticknor was not known in America as an abolitionist. whom he had met there nearly twenty years before. On the last day of the month he was in Nurem

n in Paris, he had recourse to Dr. Brown-Sequard, who concurred with Dr. Hayward in the opinion that the curative influences of time and change of scene were not sufficient to meet the case, but that it required active treatment. Dr. Hayward expressed to Sumner full confidence that he would recover, though warning him that much patience on his part and considerable time would be required. Dr. Brown-Sequard met Sumner first at the latter's lodgings, Hotel de la Paix, Rue de la Paix, on the 10th, having assured his patient in the note by which he made the appointment that there was not a human being, his own family included, whom he would so heartily rejoice to relieve from pain. After a diagnosis lasting three hours, and accompanied with the application of ice and boiling water, he decided that the blows on the head had taken effect by contre-coup in the spine, producing disturbance in the spinal cord.

ns came in other parts of the body, as in the legs,—driven there, as it was thought, by the moxa. The doctor came daily to dress the wounds, and by the middle of August had made forty-five visits, passing nearly an hour with his patient at each visit. He gave a memorandum at the time:— I have applied six moxas to Senator Sose conversation is clear, instructive, and most friendly, and in the Brownings; all of these have been full of kindness for me, and I like them all very much. In August he passed a day with the Grotes at St. Germain. Among French friends who came to him or communicated their interest were Auguste Carlier, He died in 1890, ageof my legs, which is at times sadly disabled. For this I am to have galvanism. You will see that I have powerful weapons against the enemy. At the middle of August he tried his strength by an excursion to Brittany. On his return Dr. Brown-Sequard thought of applying fire again, but desisted, fearing that another application

He gave this summary in a letter from Liverpool, November 5, to Mr. Gordon:— Perhaps it will interest you to know how I have passed my last days in England,—thanks to that generous hospitality of which I have enjoyed so much. Here it is: Seven days in London at the British Museum; a day with the poet-laureate Tennyson at the Isle of Wight; The Duchess of Argyll wrote, July 23, 1863: Tennyson always remembers your visit with pleasure. two days with Lord Stanhope at Chevening Park, where I slept in the room which was occupied for three years by Lord Chatham; one day at Argyll Lodge with the duke, where I met Gladstone; one day with Dr. Lushington at Ockham Park in Surrey; one day with my countryman Motley, the historian of the Dutch commonwealth, at Walton-on-Thames; one day with Lord Clarendon at the Grove; one day with Lord Spencer Born in 1835; twice lord lieut

If I rightly understand the physician and his patient, these new pains are to be regarded purely as an effect of sympathy between the nerves in the region of the chest and the great nervous central column, not as an extension to that region of the malady of the latter, nor as an independent local disease of those nerves. In June and July Sumner passed the greater part of the time in his bed, unable even to take the air in a drive. He saw few persons, as it was difficult for him to move about; and indeed lie had little heart for society. Among his American callers were Mr. Woods,—always ready with kind offices for him, as for all fellow-countrymen,—William C. Bryant, Professor Felton, George Bemis, Thomas N. Dale, and Mrs. Ritchie of Boston; and among English friends full of sympathy whom he met were Mr. and Mrs. Grote, Mada

s so necessary to an invalid. Think of these things. Mason will not be regretted at the Tuileries, so I learn, for his habits were too disgusting. ... How painful is much of the news from home! Violence, vulgarity, degrading practices and sentiments,—these come on every wind. But surely there must be a change. I hear of Hillard here, but see him not. God bless you! On his way from Paris, Sumner stopped at Amiens to see the cathedral; and passing the night in Lille was in London October 10, where he took lodgings again at Maurigy's, Regent Street. Society had left the metropolis, and during the rest of the month he passed his time at the British Museum, and in collecting old books and manuscripts; making visits for the day or for a night to friends living in the country, within easy distance from the city; and his last days in England were passed at seats in the North. He gave this summary in a letter from Liverpool, November 5, to Mr. Gordon:— Perhaps it will interest

ater, May 10, 1860. Sumner wrote to Parker, Aug. 22, 1859:— You will mourn Horace Mann. He has done much; but I wish he had lived to enjoy the fruits of his noble toils. He never should have left Massachusetts. His last years would have been happier and more influential had he stayed at home. His portrait ought to be in every public school in the State, and his statue in the State House. A statue of Mann, to which Sumner contributed, was unveiled in front of the State House, July 4, 1865. The aesthetic development of the people in pictures and statues he never appreciated; but these ought to do him honor for the impulse he has given to that civilization in which they will be sure to thrive at last. I have a tender feeling for Choate. He died July 13, 1859. For years he was my neighbor in Court Street, and I never had from him anything but kindness. The last time I saw him was in Winter Street. He asked me what my physicians in Europe said of my case. I reported th

With hope that your European tour may produce a complete restoration to health, and that a long career of distinguished honor and success awaits you in your own country, believe me, etc. Lady Hatherton, acknowledging, July 14, 1863, Sumner's letter of condolence on her husband's death, said:— He spoke of you often when tidings of your unhappy country filled him with grief, as he knew how you must be suffering in spirit. Your visits to Teddesley dwelt in his memory as a pleasant retrospect which he hoped might be renewed. This May not be, alas! but whenever you do come to England, I trust to your remembering me for his sake, and trying to give me the pleasure of seeing you again. During his two visits t
