support of the Duchess of Sutherland, whose daughter, a young girl in 1840, now greeted him as the Duchess of Argyll. Five of her twelve children were brought into the room to see him whose name had ever been an honored one in her mother's house. A day or two later he received a note from the (Dowager) Duchess of Sutherland herself, who was now a great invalid and sojourning at Chiswick House, one of the seats of the Duke of Devonshire. The Duchess of Sutherland to W. L. Garrison. Chiswick, June 21. Ms. Dear sir: I did not hear without great emotion that you are returned to England, and I look forward with great happiness to meet you in these better times. I am anxious to know how long you stay, for if your time allows of a little delay, I would wait a little in hopes of being rather more free from violent pain.

New Republic was one of the books of that season. She managed, too, sometimes to be at home; among her visitors were William Black, John Richard Green, and Mr. Knowles, editor of the Nineteenth century.

Prince of Wales there with his eldest son, Prince Albert Victor. Mrs. Julian Goldsmith's ball — in the evening. It is remembered that she bravely watched the dancers foot it through the livelong night, and drove home by daylight, with her poor dancing Maud ! Madame Waddington was formerly Miss King, the granddaughter of Mr. Ward's old partner. Our mother was always interested in meeting any descendants of Prime, Ward & King.

for absence constitute a fund to be best owed as their united wisdom may direct. Donations of wool have also been obtained, and, as speedily as possible, transformed into socks for the soldiers. Nor have our generous and patriotic young ladies been satisfied with these efforts. They gave on Friday night, the 13th, an exhibit on of tableaux and charades, which gave great satisfaction to the audience, and in the judgment of all present was a decided success, while at the door nearly $40 rewarded their efforts for the same glorious cause. None of them had ever appeared before, and but few had seen such exhibitions; and yet: all the pieces showed ease, skill and dignity. So popular was the entertainment that many not present regret their want of information, and there is a strong demand for its repetition, which I understand will be gratified.--Thus you see that while the "upper end" is well represented in the field, the fires of patriotism burn brightly at home. Chiswick.
