Charles summers Boyhood.

Writing in the Spring field Republican, 8
gentleman, who was a sehoOi-fellow of
Charles Sumner, gives some interesting de-
tails concerning that great statesmsn's boy
hsod. He was boy, real boy, not sf.
fecting TO be 8 man; without any afects-
tons OF dress or manner, or speech or char
scter. He played hard and studied hard, at
lesst in studies that took his fancy-sOme
studies he paid little attention TO; and it is
well known that some fellow-students of un-
known lives AMI far inferior capacities stood
much higher in the average of studies than
he did.
ale was a leader in play, whether in the
open square where the statue Of Franklin
now stands, or in the empty halls and great
stone staiIcases of the Court House, or at the
Duhsrves, when the boys went in swimming
!, "lf he had the usual isults Of an over
animated boy, he had no WEAKNESSES. He had
none of that haughtiness and arrogance. or
e4clusiveness, or other IL temper that was
charged upon him in his latter days, after he
had endured the blows of Brooks and suf
fered that serious nervous disturbance which
might impair the temper and manner of any
man.
III think he felt himself not far from tia
equal of his teachers In what he knew; and
believe we boys would have trusted as
much to his statement Of translation, or
point Of history. or any reconcile matter, as
we should to theirs.
"AEd he remained q school.boy to the last
Of his life in his simplicity and purity, and
still more in his happy remem brance of his
old schoOl-tellOws."

Zachary Taylor's Scholarship.
INatr Nlrk 1NIr,nc

Several days ago, IL the course of an srti-
Gle with the general scope of which heart
ily agreed, you ere led to assert that Gen.
eral Zachary Taylor vas barely able to write
his name. This, be assured, is great error.
The present writer served as subsltern Of
fcer, in close daily relations with General
Taylor at Fort Jesup, in Louisiana,and Cor
pus Christi, Texas, Immediately preceding
the war with Mexico, as also in the Rio
Grande, in the first battles of thst war My
regime Mt had an excellent library, of which
l mad charge, q to which the General had
access. He read q good desl-substantisl
books covering considerable range of his
toricsl and general literature. He was also
an stteDtive reader of such political journals
as the National Intelligencer and the Globe,
81 no one of his day was better acquainted
with the early political history Of this coun-
try. he wrote vigorously and clearly on
public questions and affairs, 6 was sho Tn in
several letters TO sinsmsn, which got into
the newspapers during the war. Colonel
Bliss, Of his staff, was known 10 be 8 master
of English style, and these letters were
sscribed to him, 1t heard the Colonel say
that he had had nothing at all to do with
their competition. The fact is General Tsy.
lor was one of those men who are always
gathering information so long as they live.
It seema to me this fgment about his Hitter
acy, having really no truth in it, should not
60 uncontradicted any longer.
