PERSONAL.
The personal appearance of the principal members OF
the Presidential party is generally familiar Whea
they arrived NewYork yesterday afternoon all looked
dusty and TO csrssin extent trarel-worn. The Pres-
dent dTsssed in plain black, smoothly shayen
more anyious apparently than gratiie listened TO tho
address of Mr. Stewart with his head thrown somewhat
forward evidently in deep thought. His hair is sprDked
with gray but there is the sembance at least OF nre III his
ewes and ygor his body. There is persistence IN bis
face obstinacy perhaps look Of that unmgable aud
powerful perseverance, which grows by resistance
kindiness evidently man easily managed " those who
praise literally, but utterly intractable when criticised
He smiled when the address was completed evidently
pleased.
VIM. II. Seward stood By the side OF tue President,
apparently unconscious of what had been uttered Tho
| ntrast he
dark and resh the other small aud Iae and wan. tho
one anxious the other careless TO what was passDP
but both evidently ponderng in different way, the s5ho
subject The deep heavy scar the slime Jonp-
son made President is still plainly visible The See
rotary stood beside his chief aud seemed lost to the pres
ent with his eyes turned inward rather than upon out
ward objects.
Gen Grant with his imperturbsblc yester
DAY precisely have so often seen him. with one s>
ception He was not smoking Dressed in his usual
stye regulation hat minus the decorations authorized
In Army Regulations; military coat bearing on The
shoulders the insignia of his rank, and dark pantaoons,
there was little his appearance to attract attention HIS
beard cut short lips compressed despite the agreeable
smile that rpped his almost expressionless face
manner utterly and permanently quiet countenanee fsr
beyond the reach of agitation be looked If be would
not DO disturbed if the world cruDlbed at his feet.
Secretary Weles is tall and wears long gray beard
which harmonizes with the color OF his HAIR and adds
somewhat the peculiar owshness OF his great spectaced
eyes, He is a picture of conservatism.
Admiral Farragut is tall slender, and looks every inch
man. There is somewhat Lear-ke in his face and bis
ewes show the ntrepidy and the undauned that
made him the hero he is He wore cap and coat, bear
ing mark of his rank in the Navy stood among his
companions above them ALL Faragut would attract atten
ton in crowded thoroughare but his face would
say that he loved war though II is one that an enemy
might fear when anger flushed it, kinded into fame
the latent fire of the eyes which give as expression 30
kindly and so genial. .--..d
UP BROADWAY.
The Presidential party then again Entrusted themselves
10 the tender mercies the city hac drivers and slowly
