DIR. s. G. HOWE.

Observing the appointment OF this gen.
tleman upon the San Domingo Commits
sion, contemporary asks, "Who is DIR.
Howe ?" As no one ought to be ignorant
of one so well deserving fame, we state
that he is one of the noblest civilians OF
our age or country. General Grant could
not have chosen a more capable or dis
interested man. Though now seventy
years old, he is still young. He was born
In Boston, ard educated as surgeon. At
the early age of twenty-three, he left his
home and Joined his fortunes to Greece,
then struggling in death grapple with
the Turks. For three years he devoted all
his great energies to this sacred cause, then
trembling in the balance. His pen turned
public sentiment from apathetic indiffer-
ence to positive sympathy and aid, while
his heroic example and brilliant services as
a soldier inspired the poor Greeks with
hope. Lord Byron was his friend and
contemporary while there, and to this day
he thinks of Byron only as the ardent
young apostle of Greek liberty.
After the war closed, be returned to
this country and devoted himself to bis
professional studies. His labors to per-
feet modes of teaching the blind ano
deaf, and even idiots, have given him
worldwide reputation.
In 184s he was in Europe, tool
an active part in the revolutions there
and was imprisoned for awhile. In 1856
he was one of the most persistent ant
efficient friends of Free Kansas. 1t wa
our fortune to be associated with him OF
The National Kansas committee, of whicl
the distinguished General Webster, lat
chief of staff to General Sherman, wa
chairman. We shall never forget tn
earnestness and zeal with which h
labored to push back the black wave
slavery, then threatening to overflow tn
whole valley of the Missouri. Returnin
again to his quiet philanthropies he hear
the cry of liberty from Crete, and imm
diately raised means to load a ship wit
supplies, and departed with it to relie'
the suffering people.
The wife of this distinguished man
egeryway his peer. Julia Word How
stands pre-eminent among the hob
women of America.
The exquisite poem which we pri
below is based upon fine incident
DR.. Howe's life, which his friend Whit
has embalmed in verse.
