Julia Ward Howe Satirical.

At the dedication of the Woman’s Clubhouse last evening Julia Ward Howe very neatly introduced Gov. Bates as “one of the elect.” Mrs. Howe has been famous as a punster since the early days of her sojourn in the Hub, when, newly arrived from gay New York and disliking the censorious provincialism that was then, she once said to Charles Sumner: “What do you think, Mr. Sumner? I have discovered what I was sure did not exist in Boston. There Is a Charitable Eye and Ear on Charles street." —Boston Transcript.
