The great company, so fully representing the nation, rose and stood in profound silence as the coffin, covered with flowers, but open and so exposed that all could see, was carried slowly up to its place before the desk. The arrangement brought those together who, had not death stepped in, would seldom so meet. Nearest to the head of the coffin sat the President; next to him Secretary Fish, and nearest the foot Senator Schurz. And here in the presence of this death, they were all moved alike to tears. The nation in its three branches, legislative, executive and judicial, stood close around the coffin, and the people from all quarters of the land looked down upon it.

ith much interest. At the suggestion of Sumner, he was honoured by Grant with the appointment to the Court of St. James, the highest diplomatic post in his gift. That was pleasant after the Vienna incident. Unfortunately, Grant identified him with Sumner, and when a breach came between the president and the senator from Massachusetts, the former found a pretext to recall Motley, and again a secretary of state failed to protect the minister. Moreover, the explanatory letter written by Hamilton Fish was not phrased in a manner to soothe the diplomat's feelings, so that the incident ended with added discomfiture for Motley. Again work was the refuge from the annoyances to which he had been subjected, but they were not forgotten. It is rather curious to note how the author's unpleasant experience colours the story of the relations between Maurice of Nassau and John of Barneveld. The inability of the soldier, acting as statesman, to understand the diplomat is dwelt on in a fashion

He has, he said, great respect for my horticultural knowledge. In all my frequent intercourse with Sumner for fifty years, I can trulyFish try this new way of growing asparagus. He has, he said, great respect for my horticultural knowledge. In all my frequent intercourse with Sumner for fifty years, I can truly say I never found a person so uniformly genial and amiable, and who so readily adopted the tastes and occupations of his friends while with them. Sumner's active participation in popular agitations interfered seriously with professional success. It repelled clients who disagreed with him on exciting topics, or who if agreeing preferred a lawyer exclusively devoted to the courts and his office. He had many callers among politicians, philanthropists, and literary men, with whom he was alway

Wade of Ohio, James of Rhode Island, and Geyer of senators, being received there without ceremony. He counted Mrs. Seward and Mrs. Fish among his best friends, and his relations with the former continued unbroken the supporters of slavery or Compromise, among them being the Northern names of Fish, Truman Smith, and Norris. The purpose to cut him off from an opportunity to spnionists who answered in support of the Fugitive Slave law on that day were Hamilton Fish, and four senators from New England,—John H. Clarke, Hamlin, Truman Smith, the day observed the rules. Sumner's first note of congratulation was from Mrs. Fish, wife of the senator from New York, whose husband, as shown by his vote, had he knee to Baal. May God prosper their efforts!

All Northern Whig senators present voted against the bill, including Fish, who, however, took no part in the debate at any stage. The majority consisted of a united South, except Bell and Houston, and of all Northern Democrats except fouith him. Seward and Foot, who withheld their votes then, now voted for the repeal. Walker of Wisconsin, who then voted against the repeal, now voted for it; while Fish, who then voted against the repeal, now withheld his vote. A few moments before, Mr. Fish voted on an appeal from the decision of the chair. Fessenden gave his Mr. Fish voted on an appeal from the decision of the chair. Fessenden gave his vote for the repeal, while Hamlin remained discreetly silent. As a member of the committee on pensions, Sumner attended faithfully to matters referred to it, as appeared from the reports he submitted and the bills he pressed to a passage. He took an interest in questions of procedure, and his incidental remarks at different ti
