THE President AT REVIEW.

grand review of troops across the Potomac
The carriage was open. and in it were seated
four persons-the President, whom any one who
Las ever seen any OF the numerous representa-.

minutes thought to his personal appearance, and

dy friend made not long since. She had been up
to the White House, and was giving q desorip

a man to be President never saw befors!" she
exclaimed very emphatically. "Why, he wore
such dirty, limp shirt collar, and there we're
two buttons of his shirt bosOm!" wasn't near
enough TO determine the button question, but
didn't like the man one whit less on that account
As watched him get out Of the carriage and
walk to the front of the group before menti Ined,
where he stood with his hat off, towering in his
gaunt attitude a whole head aud more above the
tallest man of the all. There be stood, self
