How Mr.. Seward First Learned Of Xr
~ Lincoln's Death.

Mr.. Seward had been kept 10 ignorance oR
the attack on the President, his physician
fearing that the shock would be too great
for him TO bear, and all newspapers were
rieidly excluded from his room. On tho
Sunday following the assassination, tho
Secretary had tho bod wheeled around, 40
that he could see the trees in the park op.
posite, just putting on the spring foliage,
whom his eye caught the stare and stripes
at half.mast on the War Department, on
which he gazed awhile; then turning TO bis
attendant, said, "The President IL deadi"
The confused attendant stammored and
changed color "a he tried TO say nay, bus
the sagacious old man said: SIf be had been
alive, he would have been tho first to call
upon NE; but he has not been here, NOT
has he sont TO know how am, and there's
tho flag At hal!.mast." Tho old statesman's
icduotive reason bad told the truth, and he
lay 10 silence, the great tears coursing down
his gashed checks, asthe dreadful truth

Penmanship.

In China penmansbip and tho art OF com.
position are inseparable, and the man who
can put his thoughts In choice language and
perspicuous arrangement 10 also able 20
adorn tho same with elegant characters -
In China the learned man uses q kind of
running band in making his dra!t, that the
current of bis reflections may not be imped.
cd. After the draft has been read and re-
viscd he makes q fresh pencil, and writes u
ont in fair characters, that the ponmauship,
and skill in the Arrangements Of
words. may all combine to give value and
beauty to his production. Tho Japanese,
who initiate the Chinese 10 many things,
and in past times drew oil their literature
from thence, set q great value upon rspidity
and grace in tho use Of the pencil. Their
characters have the nature OF IN alphabet,
but they we're derived from the Chinese sym.
bols, and 50 are susceptible Of the same
kind Of finished execution. Their running
hand is perpetual flourish, and 90 difficuii
to read, from tho excentric playfuIness with
which 10 is executed, that q native. has fre.
quently to pore over Il for time before he
can follow the sense. All literary men In
Japan. as in China. can write q good hand;
and even those who havo acquired the firss
principles Of the art are adopts Ia the use
Of the pencil. Il would rebound TO our
own credit and our comfort, II, while we are
laboring TO write Latin, Greek and English,
With idomatic grace and grammatical puri-
ty, We we're to give little more care to the
OF our penmanship.
