PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 10, 1899.
Dear Uncle J0shWa:--We arc coming on full

bet when we've been on tho road eouldn't
catch my breath hardly long enough TO wFiis
my none, We kept flying 80 fast and when
we made any stop there was such a ian
round US there wasn't elbow COON enough for
muskeeter 70 turn round without knocking
his wings OF.
I'm almost afraid now we shall Ess %
DowniugviIle before this letter does, 90 We
shall be likely 20 catch you all In the suds
before you think Of H. hut ! understand
there u a fasf maii goes on that way, and
mean 10 send Il By that, 80 Ina in hopes that
you'n get u time enough TO have the chill
dren's fares washed and heads eombsd. and
The gals got on their clean gowns. AID II
sargeant joel eouid have time enough % call
out my old DOwningville company and get
their uniforms brushed up a little, and come
down the road IS far - your new barn 20
meet ne, there's nothing r,at would please lbs
President better. A. zoe vietuais, most any
thing wont come amissi we are ~ hungry

day. little fried pork and eggs, or . pot Of
baked beans and an Indian pudding would
suit az mueh better than the soft stuff tbev
give Us IA these great cities.

Dow singyills iC he has legs AID arms enough

that he should've BE- able TO como, you he'd
better meet ~ in Portland, say about The
22d, and then you can 60 up to Dow aingvil ls
W ith US, you know.
This travelling with the President h capital
fun after all, IL u wasn't 90 plsguy tiresome.
We come into Baltimore on q Railroad and
dew over the ground like harrycane. There
isn't horse in tho country that could keep
up with US, IL he should 60 upon the clean
clip. When We got to Baltimore the streets
were filled with folks as thick ~ the spruce
tree down in your swamp. There We found
Black Hawk, a little old dried up Indian King.
And thought the folks looked at him and the
Prophet about rs much as they did at me and
the President. gave the President q wink
that the Indian fellow was taking the shine OF
Of Us little, so we concluded we wouldn'i
have him IN our company any more and shall
so on without him.
lcan't stop TO tell you in this letter how
We got along TO Philadelphia, though we had
pretty easy time some Of the way in steam
boats. And can't stop to tell you Of hall
The inc things saw here. They took Us In
a great hall this morning as big rs q meeting
house, and then the folks began to pour in by
thousands 10 shake hands with the President
icderalists and all, il made no difference
There was such n stream Of EN- coming in
that the hall was full in n few minutes, and Il
was so jammcd up round the door that they
couldn't get out again il they were 10 die. So
they had TO knock out the windows and 10 out
'toiber way.
The President shook hands with all his
might an hour or two, till hc got so tired he
couldn't hardly stand il. ] took hold for him
once in while TO help him along, but at last
he got so tired that lac had to lie down on n
son bench covered with cloth and shake Ms
well as he could, and when he couldn't he'd
nod to 'osn rs they came along. And at last
he got so beat out, lac couldn't only wrinkle
his forehead aud wink. Then they concluded
1t was best to adjourn for to-day.
And I've made out 20 get away up into the
garrett in The tavern long enough TO write this
letter. We shall be oil tomorrow or ne 1t
day for New York, and If can possibly get
breathing time enough there ! shall write to
you again.
Give my love 10 all the folks in Downing
vile, and believe me, your loving ncfiu,

The New York Standard says
Next in our ideas Of the moral sublime. to
the great spectacle which "tbc just made
perfect" will present TO an admiring universe,
Is the spectacle presented by the congrega-
tion Of free people to render spontane Gus
and uncourted honor 10 the great and good atd
just, OF tho rulers whom such n people have
exalted. Such q spectacle is now being pre-
scented" &c.
The New York Evening Post makes this
statement
In their ungovernable desire TO see the
Chief Magistrate, men did not seem To care
tor any hazard. A friend Of ours, one of the
immediate escort Of Gen. Jackson, informs us
that, though mounted on a spirited horse, ma
ny persons did not scruple 10 run between
the legs Of the praDcing animal, at the iInmi-
nent risk Of being trodden down, so that they
might grasp the hand Of their bsiored President.
or srsn touch the hem Of his gsrmenfs."
The Standard also says
The day was unclouded-a soft SOUTH
western breeze cooled the sir-there was no
annoyance from the dust-and the bright sun
shone over all, as II Proridence smiled on the
occasion rhieh had made so many heaTts AapPs. ~
