THE SUMNER FAMILY.

There were. in all, eleven children born
| to Mrs. Sumner, who was very distin-
guished looking lady. The family lived
on Hancock street, Boston, and there all
the children were brought up. Henry.
the eldest, who was large powerful man,
died in Orange, Nj, some years since.
Charles was the next, and his mother was
always very proud of him. Being asked
how it was he had become the posessor of
SO many requirements, she said that
Charles, when a boy, was very good
scholar and diligent at his studies. AL
did specimen of manhood. He, with bis
wife and family, took passage for Europe
in the Artic and were lost with that un-
fortunate vessel In connection with this
event a singular circumstance occurred
Albert Summers wife was very rich
lady, possessing upward of a million dol
lars in her own right; and when she was
lost the Sumner family thought that right
fully they ought to be considered the heirs.
at-law. Accordingly they contested the
the inheritance with the lady's relatives,
and ultimately won the suit But the
Summers had only gone to law to vindi-
cate their honor and their rights they had
no intention of impoverishing the deadwo-
mans family; and, having won
the cause. they magnanimously resigned
all the property to the wife's relatives,
thus exhibiting rare disinterestedness.
George Sumner came to his death in u
very remarkable way. During the war
he was going TO inspect some troops at
a short distance from Boston, when he
met with an accident in getting in or out
OF the railway cars, and hurt one Of his
knee-caps. He was very much in favor Of
the water-cure theory, and went to water
cure establishment to get his leg treated.
However, the injury went on from bad to
worse, until finally George was so paraly-
zed all over his body that it could hardly
be said that any part OF him but his head
and his heart was truly alive.
Horace, younger son, was slender
youth, quite different in appearance from
his stalwart brother, the Senator. He was
placed for some time with Levi Bartlett of
Warner, N. H., tC learn farming. He was
of dreamy, poetic nature, fond of read
ing and meditation, and very little inclined
for any practical business of life. After
leaving Warner he went abroad, and
stopped in Rome for some time with Mar
garet Fuller Ossoli'and her husband. The
two latter, with their child, were coming
to America, and Horace embarked with
them. When almost within sight of home
the vessel was wrecked off the Long Island
coast, and many on board, including the
Ossoi family and Horace, were lost.
There were three daughters in the Sumner
family, of whom only, Julia, who is mar
red to medical officer in the United
States service in California, survives. The
rest of the family died when yet young.
Charles Summers own modest fortune
came to him by the successive deaths of
his brothers. who left the property to him.

No political party that is
managed by rascals for rascal
" purposes can long survive
the wrath of the people. The
large majority of the people
are honest, and the man who
says they are not is to be
watched closely. When the
people grow careless, dishonest
men get into Office, but the
time is sure to follow when the
reaction comes, and the thieves
are tumble overheard. The
republican party has been over
wheimed with a horde Of ras-
Gals, and if the party is not
strong enough Or is unwilling
to drive them out. the people
will get rid of the party and
the plunderers at the same time.

bune has fairly earned in its best
and broadcast sense the distinction |
Of "the leading American news
paper" It leads in the prompt
ness and completeness of the news,
in the honesty and independence
of its policy, in the fairness and
ability of its editorials, in the full
ness and variety of its correspond
ence, in its literary and scientific
intelligence, in its thorough and
excellent agricultural department,
and, in short, in all which make
up progressive, fair-sighted and
liberal newspaper. The Tribune
leads the entire press of the coun-
try. The recent course of the
Tribune toward the South and it's
political and industrial interests
has been marked by the same fair
ness and friendliness displayed by
Mr.. Greeley from the close of the
war. The impartial and intelli-
gent letters by Tribune cores
pondents from Alabama and Lou
isiana did just service in showing
to the people of the North the
true state of affairs in those un.
fortunate and slandered States,
