should never hesitate to cite a case that bore against him, if he thought the court and the opposite counsel were not aware of it at the moment. In this connection I must speak of Charles Austin, The career of Charles Austin, to whom Sumner refers in his letters in terms of great admiration, is unique. He was a lawyer, but never a judge. His specialty in the profession did not connect his name with celebrated causes, and he retired from it so early that at the time of his death,—Dec. 21, 1874, at the age of seventy-five,—he had been almost forgotten by his generation. He never entered Parliament,—a body to which men of his character and tastes are usually attracted.

M. Palmer for his productions of D'Ennery and Cormon's A celebrated case, adapted by A. R. Cazauran (Boston Museum, 28 January, 1878), and D'Ennery's The two orphans, adapted by Hart Jackson (Union Square Theatre, 21 December, 1874). What he did so successfully, and what Clyde Fitch did so well in later years, was to create roles for the special qualities in his players: he wrote Frou-Frou for Agnes Ethel, Article 47 for Clara Morris, and Pique for Fanny Davenport. The emotional play went hand in hand with the emotional actress, and one fails to find Clara Morris showing a penchant for the American drama; her success in Miss Multon, a play built on a French version of East Lynne (Union Square Theatre, 20 Novem
