through perdition ez a pigeon wood fiy.
1t may be that its the method by wich
we shell finally carry Moo England.
Pope says:
| ssyi ice is monster of such hidjus mean
That to be hated needs but to be seem
No if we follered the poet no further
we shood never 90, but each one wood
keep as close in his respective depart
ment es possible. But KNOWN mankind,
he goes on:
sBut seen too oft familiar with its face
We first endoor, then pity, then embrace.
That's it. We must be seen too oft.
We must make them familiar with our
face Eff we stay long enuff, l don't de-
spair NV seein Boston givin yoo an ovia-
shen, and seein 700 locked in the arms
NV Wendell Phillips. If they commence
pityin 700, the rcakshen will take EN- to
the embracin, and it seems ez though
they ought to be at that pint by this time
And then ef yoo make toor and say
nothing idyotic, the very novelty NV it
will attract attention from wat we've
desided to do with Sheridan, Sickles, and
Pope, ct al. 1t will bewilder the people.
And so it WIZ desided to 90. Throo
Delaware the recepshuns was all that we
desired, and in Maryland the people cum
in crowds to greet us; thoo the cheers
partook so much of the nacher Nv the
cheerful yells wich the confederit soliers
employed when they charged, that Sex
retary Stewards ears were somewhar
shocked Ez Philadelphia didn't offet
us the hospitalities NV the city, we did not
stop there at all The train went round
it, the Presidents nose bein elevated all
the time ez thoo he smelt suthin. When
it had finally passed, Mr. Randall an
nounced the fact and the rrcsidenshcl
face assoomed its usual benign expression
ez we glded into the sacred soil NV Moo
Gcrsey.
In Moo York Morrisey he'd done his
part. There wuz spectacle bodies NV
cheerers at the pints agreed upon, and,
as they had been raid liberaly, the spon-
taneous enthusiasm was good in quality
as it was in quantity. Occasionally, a
checrer he'd taken too much NV his wag-
es in advance, wood yell for Jefferson Da-
Wis, but it wuz'nt notist. 1t didn't mar
the pleasant uniformity NV the perceed-
ins, or strike anybody ez bein SINCLAIR
They tried hard to get a speech out NV
us, and the President wuz willin, but
Randall, seein that the Herald and Trib-
une he'd reporters present, supprest him,
and got him offto bed comparatively So
Der, and very early.
Arrivin at Boston, wuz surprised at
the length, breadth and depth of enthoo-
siasm wich greeted us. Ez if to show
their greefa at the death NV Presidents,
we notist everywhere the portraits OF
our predecessor, Linkin, draped in mour-
min, at wich the President dropt a tear,
sayin, see how they mourn us when we
are everlastinly gone Their wuz sort
NV subdooed enthoosiasm, kind NV half
mournin gladnis, eff may say so, which
wuz gratifyin.
We wuz received by Gov'nor Bullock,
whose speech wuz noble tribute to the
President. 81 welcome yoo,' sed he, ''to
Massachusetts. Many Presidents hev
visited Moo England, and this visit, like
theirn, excitcs devotion to the Yoonion
and respeck for them wich, in their Off
shell position, respeck the government NV
the whole country. Our desire is to man.
ifest our regard for those who, in offichel
capacity, respeck the national Yoonion.

to enable us to manifest our regard for
(herethe Presidents face frightened up)
yoor offs (the President turned fright
fully red, witch Bullock, whose principles
wuz rasslin back holt with his polite
ness, notist, and he added and to yoo,

Ez them last words issued slowly and
despritly, the Presidents face lighted up.
He rendered him thanks for the reception.
He woodent undertake to conceal emo
shuns wich agitated him at this personal
welcum upon the soil NV Massachusetts.
1t wuznt necessary for him to go into
the histry Nv Massachusetts ez ne wuz
in the habit NV doin farther south, ez
those before him was probably familiar
with it ez he wuz, but he wood ashoor
EN-, fer their encouragement, that the
history NV Massachusetts in conneXlon
with these States hez become part NV
the histry NV the country, and therefore
in visitin Massachusetts under such pc
coolar circumstances, it is pecoollarly
gratifyin to receive such welcum. In
regard to yoor remarks tetchin the pres
ent ovashen NV these States, L trust L
may say without egotism, a vice which
hev never been accoosed OF, and from
wich may say no one is more singerly
free than myself, yield to no patriot llv-
in OF dead in my devoshen to that pur-
pose. l dislike speekin, ez kin trooly
say that am not loquacious, but when
trooth wich / love, and coz Nv humanity
wich l lie to, is at stake l hev spoken
| may say without egotism that live for
principle and l thank the people NV Mas
sachoosets wich my visit hez drawed to
Boston for the outburst NV regard which
greets me. Without egotism L may say
that it is outburst exalted by few and
excelled by none ever given President
NV the Yoonited Stats or elsewhere, and
it is my prayer that comm In contact
with ME will do the people nv Boston
good. Yoor remarks, not re-ferrln dlrek-
" to me, on the Rooshn purchis and
more Economical collekshun OF the inter-
nal revenue, also meets my corul appro-
bashen, loven ez do my common coun-
try.
Randall pulled at his cote tail, when
the President remarkt that he might say
without egotism that he didn't desire to
