Iowa, and result in a disruption of the Union; for I am sure that the disease is too deep for cure without amputation. I left here on Sept. 9th for six weeks; reached Nebraska City through Iowa in ten days, a weary stage journey. Staid nine days in and near Nebraska City, organizing and directing for a train of 150 emigrants, and then travelled with them to Topeka in six days, camping at night; since then I have been in Topeka, Lecompton, Lenora and Leavenworth. . . . Tell Sam I had an Allen's Rifle with me which is an improvement on Sharp's, but had no occasion to shoot anything with it except a superb hawk, whose wings I carry home as a Kansas trophy. Never have I been in any special danger, except that they talked of lynching me in Leavenworth, whither I went to witness an election; I was the only person in town who knew my name or person; but I was a minister that had been preaching politics; . . . as however I gave no information, two of them shot each other instead, just

ble object, a good thing to be done, said to be impossible. I will do it. She at once commenced medical reading, under the direction of Dr. John Dixon, of Ashville, N. C., in whose family she was residing as governess. Removing the next year to Charleston, S. C., she supported herself by giving lessons in music, but continued to study, with regular instruction from Dr. S. H. Dixon, afterwards professor in the medical department of the New York University, and pursued it further under Drs. Allen and Warrington, of Philadelphia. She found the study deeply interesting, and followed it with ardor and thoroughness, while benevolence and singleness of purpose speedily overcame her aversion to the associations of disease. Upon applying for admission to the medical schools of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, she was uniformly refused. From ten others the same answer was returned, until at Geneva the faculty submitted the question to the students, who unanimously voted for her recept

Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Atlantic Essays, On an old Latin text-book. (search)
nt. It is something to the praise of classical studies that even those two well-meaning men did not extinguish these pursuits forever. It is not to be imputed to boys as a crime, that they do not love the conjugations at first sight, or conceive a passionate attachment for the irregular verbs. In the days when this old book was new, a little manual of a hundred pages, prepared by W. W. himself, contained all that was held needful to be learned of grammar; and in these happy modern days of Allen and of Goodwin, that golden age returns. Any child can bear a little drudgery, and it will do him good; it is the amount that kills. A boy will joyfully wade through a half-mile of sandhills to reach the sea; but do not therefore try him with the desert of Sahara. When I was at school, the path did not lead through the desert; but had it done so, this old text-book would have been an oasis. Yet it may plausibly be said that what charms the child, after all, is the grace of the phrase,

e. It is a very beautiful composition. ... The alto was frightened at first, coming out stronger in Woe unto them, and better still in Oh, rest in the Lord. The audience seemed to me sleepy and cold. I really led the applause for the alto. March 13.... Wrote to John A. Beal, of Beal's Island, offering to send instructive literature to that benighted region, where three mountebanks, pretending to teach religion, robbed the simple people and excited them to acts of frenzy. March 17. Mrs. Allen's funeral.... I had a momentary mental vision of myself in the Valley of the Shadow, with a splendid champion in full armor walking beside me, a champion sent by God to make the dread passage easy and safe .... April 2.... Learned the deaths of X. and Abby Morton Diaz. Poor X., her conduct made her impossible, but I always thought she would send flowers to my funeral. Mrs. Diaz is a loss — a high-strung, public-spirited woman with an heroic history. April 4. To the carriage-driver

amsburg and Charles City roads, while Longstreet and A. P. Hill were to cross the Chickahominy at New Bridge, and move by flank routes near the James, so as to intercept the retreat; and Jackson, making the passage at Grape-vine Bridge, was to sweep down the south bank of the Chickahominy. Now, when Sumner, on the morning of the 29th, learnt that the enemy was recrossing the Chickahominy and advancing in the direction of Savage Station, he moved his corps from the position it had held at Allen's farm to that place, uniting there with Smith's division of Franklin's corps. Heintzelman, who was positioned on the left of Sumner, had been ordered to hold the Williamsburg road; but, when Sumner shifted his force on to Savage Station, Heintzelman fell back entirely and crossed White Oak Swamp. Thus, when Magruder pushed forward on the Williamsburg road, he found, in consequence of Heintzelman's withdrawal, no force to oppose; and Sumner, who was not aware of Heintzelman's retirement, w
The bill finally passed both Houses on the 25th, and was approved by President Pierce on the 30th May, 1854. It was ominous of evil that every Southern Senator present, whether Whig or Democrat, without regard to past political distinctions, voted for the repeal, with the exception of Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, and Mr. Clayton, of Delaware, who voted against it; and that every Northern Democratic Senator present, uniting with the South, also voted for the repeal, with the exception of Messrs. Allen and James, of Rhode Island, and Mr. Walker, of Wisconsin, who voted against it. Con. Globe, 1853-4, p. 1321. The repeal was accomplished in the following manner: The 14th section of this bill, whilst extending the laws of the United States over Kansas and Nebraska, excepts there from the 8th section of the Act preparatory to the admission of Missouri into the Union, approved March sixth, eighteen hundred and twenty, which, being inconsistent with the principle of non-intervention
