from New York -
"As we were about to start, saw him
move to an elevated position above the
wheel and it was interesting 10 observe
how quickly and completely the in,oard
thought or purpose alters the outward
man. He gave quick glance to every
part Of the ship. He cast his eye over
the multitude coming on board the ship,
among whom was the American ambas.
sador to England, who, if The captain
may be said to embody the ship, may be
said with equal truth to embody in his
official person, a nation's right and hon.
or. He saw the husbands and wives,
the mothers and children entrusted to his
care and his slender form as he gave
the orders for our departure, seemed at
once to grow more erect and firm the
muscles Of his face swelled; his dark
eye cleaned with new fire /; and his
whole person expanded and beautified
itself by the power Of inward emotion

phenomenon and have come to tht
conclusion that if man, or woman either
