I repeat to you, sir, the sentiments of my distinguished consideration, and pray God that you live many years. Don Joaquin de Anduaga to the Secretary of State. PHILADELPHIA, April 26, 1822. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, Secretary of State.

"They give Martha at the opera to-night it is my favourite full of the sweetest melodies in which I substitute Alice for Martha. Quincy and Tom would like to go, and I have another reason which I will tell you after the first act." Alice's curiosity was aroused and she expressed her desire to go. After the first act, Alice turned an inquisitive face to her husband.

"The Carterets of Maryland, you know. But it's all such bosh!" And she urged Margaret to claim her own right to family honors: "You're a Quincy, my dear! Don't let that woman intimidate you, she didn't remember that her grandfather was a captain until her husband made his money.

When we boarded the cars to be whirled through the then wilds of Lower Canada, we were liberally supplied with the best the country produced. Upon the fifth day we rolled into Chicago, the cosmopolitan city of the West.

Says Quincy: "Garrison makes an excellent president at a public meeting where the order of speakers is in some measure arranged, as he has great felicity in introducing and interlocuting remarks; but at a meeting for debate he does not answer so well, as he is rather too apt, with all the innocence and simplicity in the world, to do all the talking himself."

John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina, the Secretary of War, was in favor of censuring the general for his conduct; but John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, the Secretary of State, thought his acts necessary under the circumstances, and declared himself ready to defend them. In the end he did defend them so well that neither Spain nor Great Britain made serious trouble over them.

She was being deported, for she suffered from trachoma. She had been refused permission to land and join her husband who had stood outside the "pen" and gazed at her and the child. Quincy placed the woman in the boat beside his wife and put the child in its mother's arms. "Lower away!" came a shrill cry. "Oh, Quincy, must we part thus?" Captain Haskins grasped Quincy by the arm.
