ce. As early as 1830, he took an active interest in the temperance question; Article on exclusion of bars from theatres, in Commercial Gazette, Nov. 8, 1830. and, in the years immediately succeeding, delivered lectures, in which he enforced the duty of sobriety. At Holliston, May 4, 1831; Boston, June 2, 1833. He favored the restrictive legislation of 1837-38, and insisted on the immorality of licensing the sale of ardent spirits. He promoted the improvement of public schools. In 1818, when there were only five such schools in Boston, and these were crowded, he published several newspaper articles, in which he urged additional schools and an increase in the number of teachers for each. Boston Yankee, May 15, June 11 and 18, July 2, 9, and 23. Sheriff Sumner attended, in his early manhood, the services of the Protestant Episcopal Church, at Trinity Church, of which Rev. Dr. Gardiner was the rector. He was at one time the clerk; and, after the English style, had an e

omic opera. He came to Paris in 1830, and performed there and in London. He is said to have given music lessons to Queen Victoria. (Leporello), the latter with the most powerful bass voice I ever heard; Madame Grisi Giulia Grisi, 1808-1869. Her first appearance in Paris was on Oct. 16, 1832, at the Theatre Italien in Semiramide. She performed in the principal cities of Europe, and in 1854 in the United States. (Donna Anna); and Madame Persiani Madame Persiani (nee Fanny Tacchinardi), 1818-1867. Her first appearance was at Leghorn, in 1832. She appeared in Paris, in 1837, in Francesca da Rimini. (Zerlina), the latter a debutante of the season, and to my taste equal to Grisi herself in many points, though not in fierceness and power. I have no knowledge of music, and but little, scarcely any, ear for it; but I felt the singular power of these performers. Grisi, Malibran, Tamburini, Lablache, Rubini, and Ivanhoff were united in a concert at Stafford House, in 1835. Grevill

ee, open, pleasant countenance and ready smile. Presently some marquis or other titled man was announced, and she said, C'est terrible, and rose and passed to the salon, where she received him. Her countenance had the roundness which belonged to Napoleon's, but none of his marble-like gravity. In the evening went to a dinner. Diner Encyclopedique de l'union des Nations. The President was Jullien de Paris, who was born in 1775, and died in 1848. He was a Jacobin during the Revolution. In 1818 he founded the Revue Encyclopedique. We hardly found ourselves at table before eight o'clock. The American minister, the Greek ambassador, and a large company of a hundred or more were there. After the dinner, what was my astonishment to hear my name introduced into some remarks of the President, with terms of praise, which, though disguised in a foreign language, sounded most strange and undeserved. An ambassador could not have a longer or more richly-embroidered paragraph devoted to h
