THE VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT 7

The VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT TO
Mr.. PEABoDy.-A Washington spe-
cial of the 9th gives the following
interesting details Of the Presidents
visit to George Peabody:
President johnson to-day paid
visit to the eminent philanthropist,
George Peabody, at Wizards Hotel.
The President arrived few minutes
after twelve o'clock, accompanied by
his secretary, Col. VIM. G. Moore,
and was escorted to Mr.. Peabody's
parlors by the commissioner of public
buildings, Mr.. B. B. French, and one
of the proprietors Of the hotel, Mr..
Chadwick. Several friends had called
on Mr.. Peabody previous to the ar
rival of the President, and were
present at the interview, among whom
were Hon. R. G. Winthrop, Bishop
McIlvaine, ex-Gov. VIM. Aiken and
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Wetmore
and son; George Peabody Russell,
George W. Riggs, Gen. Fl. j. Hunt,
Mrs. Senator l.. G. Foster and Mrs.
Senator Dixon. Cd
On entering, the President took
Mr.. Peabody by the hand and said
that he called on him simply as an
American citizen, expecting to meet
none but Mr.. Peabody. He felt that
he ought to make some acknowledge
ment for the great generosity Mr..
Peabody had shown towards his
fellow-countrymen. He thanked him
most sincerely for his benevolence,
and felt himself honored to have the
privilege of thus meeting him. He
was much gratifed that such man
as Mr.. Peabody represented the
American people in England. He
again thanked him for his liberal do
nation towards the educational needs
of the country in his name and in the
name Of the American people. He
hoped and believed that, coming at
this time, it would have strong in
fuence in pacifying the troubles of
our distracted country.
Probably Mr.. Peabody himself
might not live to see it; but he could
form an idea of the deep feeling of
reverence with which his name would
be regarded, and of the good effects
which would result from this dona-
ton before the heads of all those
now around him had grown gray.
The President seemed much moved
towards the conclusion of his re-
marks. fer he spoke earnestly and III
voice tremulous with emotion.
Mr.. Peabody was evidently deeply
affected by the impressiveness of the
occasion. In reply he thanked the
President for the distinguished honor
he had bestowed upon him in making
him this visit, and said that he should
ever regard it as one Of the greatest
honors of his life.
He assured the President of his
own belief, which he had everywhere
expressed, that the course of the
President had always been prompted
by the most sincere desire to do
what is right and best for. the good
of the whole country and to restore
peace to this troubled land. He also
assured the President that the pres
ent feeling of England, from the
Queen and peers down throughout all
the masses of the people, was one Of
sincere good. will towards the United

there might always be the most per-

that in a few years all the troubles
of the nation would be ended, and
that the country, rising above all
these divisions, would be far happier

FrankIin's wife.

To promote her husbands interests,
she attended in his little shop, where
she bought rags, sewed pamphlets, fold
ed newspapers, and sold the few. articles
in which he dealt such as ink, papers,
lampblack, blanks and other stationery.
At the same time she was an excellent
housekeeper, and beside being econom-
icals herself Taught her somewhat care
less, .disorderly husband to be economi-
cal also. Sometimes Franklin was
clothed from head to foot in garments
his wife had both woven and made, and
for a long time she performed all the
work of the house without the assist
ance of servant.
Nevertheless she knew how to be lib
eral at proper times. Franklin tells us
that for some years after his marriage,
his breakfast was bread and milk, which
they aten out of a two. penny earthen
vessel, with a pewter spoon; but one
morning ON going down to breakfast, he
found upon the table a beautiful china
BOWL from which his bread and milk
was steaming, with a. silver spoon by its
side, which had cost a sum equal in our
currency to ten dollars. When he ex-
pressed his establishment at this unwont-
ed splehdor, Mrs. Franklin only re-
marked, that she thought her husband
deserved a silver spoon and china bowl
as much as any of his neighbors. as ri
Franklin prospered in his business un-
til he became the most famous editor and
most Aourishing printer in America,
which gave him the pleasure of feliev-
ing his wife from the cares of business,
and enabled him to provide for her a
spacious and we'll furnished abode. She
adorned a high station as well as she
had dIborne a lowly, and presided at her
husband liberal table as gracefully as
when he ate his breakfast of bread and
milk from a two-pennys sbowl.-Parton's

"On the 9th day of April, 1867, four
hours after dinner, when the functions
were supposed to be undisturbed by d.
gestion, and the man in good health, the
temperature of his body.Ewas carefully
noted by a delicately graduated ther-
mometer, inserted under the tongue, with
the lips closed around it,. the rate of the
pulse and it's qualities as indicated by
the sphygmograph, were recorded at the
same time -Four ounces Of Bourbon
whisky was then administered, diluted
with sweeteneds water. s.lThesame OBJ
servations, in regard to temperature and
condition of pulses were made and re-
corded every half hour, until two full
hours had passed Another series of
observations. in all respects. similar,
were made on the 11th of April, except
the whisky, for which four ounces of
sherry wine was substituted.
s@lAt the commencement, ,of the exper-
Fiment, at 1920 o'clock p. M, the tenn
