A correspondent Of the NeD OrIean,
Pic0yune thus describes the manner oI
administering the oath Of Office to Mr.
KISG. The incidents are novel in their
character and will be read with interest
1.-The day was most beautiful one
the clear blue sky Of the tropics over our
heads, the emerald carpet Of Cuba be-
meath our feet, and the delicious sea breeze
of these latitudes sprinkling its GOODNESS
over all Of us. Early in the morning
Consul Rodney, deputed by Judge Shar.
key to administer the oath, left town or
horseback for the Cum6er, accompanied
by several American gentlemen. A
pleasant ride Of three miles brought us tC
the estate where Mr.. King was residing,
called lie Cumber, (the peak from is
situation on the eliminating point of the
hills that Immediately surround Matanzas
The view from here is one of the most
beautiful the eye ever looked upon. Far
as the vision could reach in this clear blue
expanse the beautiful valley ofthe Yumuri
extended with its winding river, its vary
ing fields Of gcen and gold, dotted here
and there with white sparkling buildings
that looked like pearls set upon emerald,
and the brown hills stretching far, far a.
way in the distance. No more lovely OF
more impressive spot could have been
found in the whole world for the ceremo.
ny; and the solemn grandeur Of the act
and of the scene shed its spirit over us
"The oath was administered by Consul
Rodney to the Vice President, who was
ready and waiting our arrival. The vol
ante was brought up to the door, and Mr.
King stepped into it, in order to ride into
Matanzas before the sun should be too
high to make it pleasant. The whole
cavalcade, consisting of some twelve OF
fifteen American gentlemen, Immediately
mounting, and forming as an escortaround
the carriage; accompanied the Vice Presi.
dent to town.
"The Creoles who had gathered on the
lawn round the house, uncovered, and
many heartfelt Faya I'd. con Dois
{ God be with you) broke from their lips
as they rode away. On the road to town,
the natives, wherever we met them, 81
lently uncovered as We approached, and
as we passed sped after US the same uni.
versal Salutation. A few Spaniards, stan.
ding in gloomy ire at the doors of their
shops, viewed us in silence, or muttered a
sullen Gjo as the dust from our horses fee
flew in their faces.
"Mr. King left Matanzas on the same
day for the estate of Mr.. Chartrain, il
the partidor of Limonar, about eighteen
miles from here. His health is very poor
and no one accustomed to see patients
with pulmonary disease in this climate,
but knows he cannot survive very long
He may live for months in this mild eli.
mate, but he can never be better. The
old statesman views his coming fate with
calmness, as one who has fought the good
fight, and will lay hold of eternal life"

that give vitality to our existence. The
beacon stars that smoth down the rough
places of life, and make earth paradise
of enjoyment.
