How John Quincy Adams Died.

Mr.. Brainard does not state the whole
truth" concerning the death of John
Quincy Adams in his recent article on
that subject, which leads the reader to
infer that it was in "the rotunda of the
Capitol" Mr.. Adams was borne from
the hall Of the house Of representatives
on one Of the sofas which stood between
the columns into the speakers room,
then occupied by Speaker Winthrop,
and was there transferred to large broad
sofa which formed a part Of the furni-
ture of the room and which is the one
now SO highly valued on that account.
In few hours cot bed and some bed
ding were obtained, and Mr.. Brainard
is correct IN his statement that it was
on that bed that the "Old Man Eloquent"
breathed his last. Congress soon after
wards purchased a bust Of Mr.. Adams,
which was placed on bracket and re-
manned there until the speaker occu-
pied the new speakers room at the
south end of the capitol, when it was
moved there, although it was entirely
out Of place, Mr.. Adams never having
been speaker. When Mr.. Sam Hooper
was made chairman Of the house COM
mitteee on banking and currency that
com mitteee occupied the speakers old
room. Mr. Hooper had the bust Of Mr..
Adams brought back and placed on a
marble bracket, with a suitable lnscrip-
ton written by Mr.. Sumner. The pen
which Mr.. Adams held in his fingers
when he rose to speak and was stricken
by death was preserved by Massachu-
sets man who was present and is now
carefully treasured,-Perlep's Letter IN the
Boston Journal
