Charles Sumner.
A CURIOUS INCIDENT IN HIS LIFE.

Washington in the winter of 1928, was
not pleasant city to live in. Lee and his
army had, till within few monts, been sta
toned on the opposite side of the Potomac,
in full view of the capital, and he had left be-
hind him many well wishers within it. Par
ty strife in politics ran high, and angry feel.
ings were uppermost. Perhaps, even then,
Booth was planning the assassination of the
President, and that at least one, though hap
PLY thwarted in his intentions, had designs
on the life of the late Charles Sumner, will
be seen by the following incident:
One afternoon in that same winter, a little
girl was playing on the floor of the parlor of
a .arge Washington boarding house. Two
gentlemen sitting near the child, were engaged
in earnest conversation, unheeding and un-
needed by her. One of them was foreigner,
of violent feelings. the other Washingtonian,
but hostile to the North and Northeners, in
other words Southern sympathizer. The
child played contentedly on by herself, till no
ticing the voices near by were lowered almost
to whisper, and hearing the word "pistol,"
SIZE stopped her play, and on the principle
that lite pitchers have large ears, listened
with eager attention, to what followed. The
foreigner was speaking to his friend of Charles
Sumner, and said he had long thought that
the greatest service an American could do for
his country would be the Kidding that coun-
try of Mr.. summer. He had had this thought
for some time, he went on to say, and acting
on it had, few evenings before, waited in an
angle formed by some buildings near the
Treasury department, which place Mr.. Sum-
ner would inevitably pass on his way home
on that particular evening. A pistol in his
hand, his finger on the trigger, he had watch
ed Mr., Summer walk alone and slowly up the
street to where he was standing, and never
once, did any doubt Of the justification of the
deed cross his mind till Mr.. Sumner had al.
most reached him. Then, Tor the first time
came the thought, 'but this will be murder,
and there is commandment, Thou shalt
not KILL" He hesitated, and in a moment
of hesitation Mr. Sumner had passed by be-
yond his reach. 'eBut," he added, Il have
regretted that hesitation ever since, and the
next time shall do it" The little glrl, 100
much frightened after this to play any longer,
left the room, aud running up stars 10 ner

THE SHIRT THAT OPENED BEHIND.-A
man in Greenfield, whom we will call Will
liam, got up, the other morning, and proceed
ed to put on a shirt which his wife had Just
made for him after new pattern. As she
stood at the mirror, curling her hair, she
heard suppressed sound, halfway between an
oath and groan, and turning round said
laughing, ''Why, my dearp' ''Shutupl' he
ejaculated,-"you are a born fool. Never
let woman attempt to fit shirt, she can't
do it; it is one of the imposibllities." BIT,
William?" deprecatingly. Don't you talk
let me talk. Do you think I'm going down
town in this rig" A pretty disposi-
tion you've got just because happened to find
a little fault, last week with your ironing, YOU
must go and make me shirt without a bos-
ON! Such malicious conduct, madame, is
objectionable. Shut up, 1 say. I won't
hear word; when starched shirt-front is
the only fnery that man INDUCES in, is he
not excusable for being being particular in re-
gard to that, l should like to know? And
this thing sets like the devil. Look how bag
gy it is here in front, and it feels behind as if
there was board bound across me-; walk
ing up and looking in the glass, hitching up
first one shoulder and then the other, after t.. 0
indescribable manner OF men trying a new
garment. His wife dared not speak, but,
bringing a sood-sized mirror from the next
room, she held it up behind him for a mo-
ment; and perceiving by his chop-falen eI-
preston that he saw the point, and the front,
she ran down stairs to settle the coffee, and
see that Bridget had set the table geom trical-
ly. As William walked down to his Office
that morning, he said to the first friend that
he met, 81 tell you, Tom, that little wife
OF mine is a born genius. Look at this shirt
now; she cut and made it all herself Do you
see, it's open behind; no confounded button
holes to bother fellow. Just send your wife
up for the pattern." And it was by the way
OF Toms wife, that Lizzie first knew that
