'tHe sp ,ke to me in low, rather
Eplaintive tone Of voice, and gave me
the impression that he was laboring un-
der certain amount Of fear or appre-
hension. Part of his. conversation,
which otherwise was perfectly rational,
conveyed the same impression. He in
timated that his relations were against
him, and 1 understood him to give this
as . reason why, his house was barri.
caded. So far rs I could make out
through his prison.like bars, he was
lab oring under; = partial insanity
monomania of suspicion or persecu-
tion." He would not attach his name
to any deed or paper bearing her Majes-
ity's stamp, the reason assigned being
that she was not the rightful heir to
the throne. E Nothing could induce Him
to use either postage or receipt stamp,
lest he should seem to admit the
Queens supremacy. With curious in
consistency, he had no scraple against
making use Of the coin bearing her
image. Prom the same objection he
would not cash his dividend warrants,
which remained in his house, forming
an accumulation Of very dirty papers.
He had the characteristic fear of poi:
son his diet was bread and cheese, red
herrings, milk and gin. For some years
he had given up milk, suspecting that
poison had been put into it. The great
novelist, and others more accustomed
to insanity than he, did not consider
that Mr.. Lucas was . person whom the
law could properly take under its guar.
diaaship as . person Of unsound mind.
We cannot help thinking that it would
have been far kinder and more reason
able 10 recognize his obvious irnbecili-
ties, delusions and miserable alterations
Of opinion and conduct as constituting
him : lunatic, requiring proper care
and decent attendance. Mr.. Mopes is
picturesque monster enough; Mr..
Lucas, from whom he was drawn, was,
we think, neglected lunatic. If the
lunacy laws were always IS loosely in
terpreted We should have = large crop
Of such hermits, and neither society
nor the individuals concerned would be
tie better for the license to hoard
their pence, neglect their property,

ing severely dropped. But that was
enc thina n1e Ssi1mner
actually did and he was forced to
it BY the feelings which swelled his
heart when, having returned to his
Office, No. 4 Court street, in full dress,
from some festive occasion, he saw the
mob dragging Garrison through the
streets with rope around his neck.
Ailliard, to whom he spoke, can tell
what he said at the moment. History
has told us what he did. From the
pinnacle of social fame he plunged into
the sea Of the ostracised below, and
became to the blue bloods Of Beacon
street as no better than one of the
wicked; aud it WAS that speech in Fam
euil Hall, entitled =" Our Immediate
Anti.slavery Duties" on Nov. 6, 1850,
in which he threw himself into the
anti-slavery cause with his whole heart
and soul, which centered on him the
eyes Of the State. and in which he
made himself the coming man. ItWas
in this speech, which Judge Jay. pro.
nounced "the greatest effort of the
kind in the English language" that he
struck the key note to the impressible
conflict about to follow, in these words:
"There is legend of the church, still
living on the admired canvass Of a
Venetian artist, that St. Mark descend.
ing from the skies with headlong fury
into the public square, broke the mana.
cles of slave in the presence Of the
very judge who had decreed his fate.
This is known as the Miracle of the
Slave and grandly has art illumined
the scene! Should Massachusetts,,
hereafter, in an evil hour, be desecrated
BY any such decree, may the good
Evangelist once more descend with val
i&nt arm to break the manacle of the
slave" i 2.
The point in the speech was the des.
cription Of the picture, and the lesson
he drew from 1t. The next day some
one sent him an engraving of the scene
he had depicted. When in Europe, in
1857, he purchased the study from
which the great picture was made.
Both are now in Boston, and photo.

[Conway's London Letter to Cincinnati Com
merciall
The sensational account of the ere.
nation Of the body Of Lady Dixie,
which, see, has gone the rounds in
America, as here, requires but little ex-
animation to show its apocryphal char
acter. The furnace used at Dresden,
and the intense heat around it, admits
of no such minute inspection of the pro-
cess of combustion as is indicated in
the paragraph that processes to describe
it,, The twelve responsible persons who
were present at the event engaged sol.
emnly not to disclose the details, and
there is no reason to believe that they
have broken their word. The para.
graph has evidently been written by an
opponent-so at least the London Lam
Get believes-to try and produce in the
public mind revulsion against the pro-
cess. No dead person could haye
been required for experiment; q dead
animal would serve as well, and experi-
ments have been 50 made at Dresden
and elsewhere, which have shown that
cremation is decent, swift, and free
from any unpleasant effects on the
senses. Lady Dixie was one Of 4 con-
siderable number of persons who, since
the agitation Of this subject, havemade
provision for having their bodies burned
after death. The fear Of premature
burial has been shown to be much more
widespread than the fear Of not being
placed dstogether properly at the sound
Of the Archangel' s trumpet; !; and that
popular apprehension, along with Ger.
tain unpleasant associations with un-
derground deconp osition. may yet give
the cremationists the victory over SUI
perstitions about bodily Resurrection.

The Way American. History VA
ODce Written. .%,..s

Mr' DSucroIt lS january charged
with writing the history of the Revola-
tion in the interest of Washington and
Franklin, and making them out to b
perfect, while he sights or misuses al
the inferior actors, This charge has no
foundation in truth. He is really very
fair, and knows better than his critics
do how to make allowance for failure,
which could not but exist in such times.
The charge has been nursed by the
amazement, which naturally grew into
indignation, first of individuals and
then of that indefinite being, 'sthe gen.
eral public when they all learned that
the seven years Of the American Revo-
luton was not an exceptionable period,
ii which Ill who went and came were
saints, Solons and Caesars. By an in
genious system of writing history,
under which the American youth of
the first half of this century were
brought up, all defeats were omitted,
all treasons, except Arnold passed over,
all follies forgotten, all cheats for given,
and one clear sky of virtue unclouded
was the background Of the whole mar.
rative from the moment of Paul
Revere's ride till that closing scene
when samids the tears of thousands
Washington sheathed his sword at An
napolis. The curious lad who read
sometimes asked meekly, when he found
how bravely Wayne took Stony Point,
how it came into English hands at all ?
But neither book nor teacher gave any
answer to such impertinent questions.
t'onward still the Yankee lion bore,
And still the scattered Briton fed before"
Nothing, therefore, could we'll be
more amazing to race Of grandchild-
rem and great.grandchildren, as they
read the four volumes of Mr.. Bancroft's
Revolution, than to find that this man
blundered, that that one stole, that an
othe" was in the pay of France, and yet
another was such confessed fool that
nobody trusted him with any authority.
To learn that that assembly of sages,
which men called the Congress Of Con-
federation. dwindled down into an as
sembly of incompetent twaddlers be-
fore the war was done, has been, per
haps, a surprise almost startling. But
really we do notisee that the fault, in
this view of the drama or Of the per-
formers, is to be charged on the man
why pulls the curtain aside. If these
people were fools he could not make
them leave szsensible records behind
them. 70 take him to task is really,
toask him to falsify history. His real
offense seems to be. not so much that
he discloses the imperfections Of The men
who stumbled and fell, as that he proves
them. r,,. e.. ....... ....- EEyr

''1nE MIRACLE OF St. MARI" !"

Tintoretto's ''Miracle of st. Mark or
''The Miracle of the Slave" as it is
more usually called, painted somewhere
about the middle of the sixteenth cen.
tury. 1t was bough ht in Paris by Mr..
Sumner, of W. H. Kellogg, the artist,
and is said by experts to be the study
from which Tintoretto painted his great
picture, still ut Venice. This was given
in the Senator'S will madef in the sum-
mer of 1872, to Mr.. Joshua B. Smith,
the colored member of the Massachu-
setts Legislature, who was so active in
procuring the resembling of the resolu-
ton of censure passed by the Legisla-
ture against Mr.. Sumner, and who was
the messenger from Massachusetts, to
the Senate to inform them that this
stain had been removed from the es-
cutcheon of the old Bay State. The
friendship between Mr.. Sumner and
Mr.. Smith had been long and warm, and
had been founded on the appreciation of
the one for the work Of the other. And
this work is SO illustrated by the great
master that it is we'll this picture, which
depicts the removal of the fetters from
the limbs of slave, should go from
one IF the, chief liberators to one Of
the chief liberated. The picture is des-
cribed by Taine,l in ss:Italy-Florence
and Venice" pp. S14-316. Whittier
tells the story in his "Legcnd of Saint
Mark $780,.
Standing before this picture the wife
Of oneof the leading Massachusetts,

statement---I tell the story; as it was

he had assailed with powerful strokes

His difficulty was not one of his own seek.

he was no more responsible for it than is the

he was doomed when he lay on his mother s

this fighting off Of the final catastrophe as
long as he did, he is entitled to consideration.
