DOMESTIC LIFE OF THE PREsIDENT.-Grace
Greenwood writes to the New York Tribune of
Gen. Grant as follows:
1t is surprising to observe how few marks of
WEAKNESS or heavy care the face of President
Grant presents, after more than year of bur-
densome official responsibility and worr:ment
OF, to him, Unprecedented confinement and la
Dor. Still fresh-looking, comfortable, quiet
self-possessed, strong of will and of nerve is he
titude of counselors," who can keep silent
amid the eternal blathering," interviewing
and inquisition of the talkingest and
askingest Capital in the world. Yet no
man is pleasanter, kinder, or gentler
in private life, than President Grant.
thing to know that the domestic life of the
President of the United States is singularly
happy and beautiful---a noble example of
American homes. I have this from the best
authority-from friends who have of late been
guests at the White House. and who, day after
day, have been witnesses of the harmony and
loving kindness of its inmates, unspoiled by
prosperity, fattery, fame, and power. That
White house stands like a light house, surged
about by sea of hungry of6ce-seek-
vacy they can secure is doubly sweet to that
merry and affectionate family circle, who find
nothing better in their exalted position, in
State dinners, balls, and receptions, than the
dear old love that united them in their home
on the Western prairies, and which they wise
~ brought along with them, as their chief
household god. No one can deny to the Pres
ident and his wife rare propriety and evenness
of manner, alike without touch of arrogance
or superciliousness. Under their marvelously
changed condition of life remain yet the real
man and the real woman marvelously un-
changed. This is a difficult topic to treat of
just here, where genuine old-fashioned hero
worship gives way to sycophantic subserviency
or blind party animosity, and where honest,
respectful loyalty toward rulers and magis-
trates, "and all having authority over US" is "an
exploded idee."

Five Years from the Death Of Lincoln.
This would be an appropriate day for a ma
tional fast, for it is the fifth anniversary of
the assassination Of the nations most be-
loved and most honored citizen since WASH
ington. The great wave of anguish that roll
edover the entire country on the morning of
the 18th of April, 1865, when the news Of the
tragedy OF the night before was first commu-
nlcated to the people, has hardly subsidized yet.
The sense of personal bereavement, the feel
ing Of pity for the great and good man, who,
like Moses, was snatched just before the en-
trance of his people into the promised land
ofpeace, and the apprehension of danger to
the country from the death of its stoutest
champion and most faithful defender were
emotions so strong that it will take decades
to remove the deep impressions they have
made. To the most of us the shock that the
intelligence of Lincoln's death gave will be
one of the most vivid and enduring recollec-
lions OF lifetime.
Only five years since Lincoln died, and al
ready nearly all the men who were in any
way prominent in the great historic tragedy
are dead or have passed from public view.
Stanton, who for few hours took the reins
Of government in his own hands and saved
his country from the perils of an interregnum,
has Just died. Seward, who was struck down
in the same hour with his chief, has retired
to the obscurIty of Auburn from which he
will probably never. return. johnson, who
endeavored to undo what his predecessor had
accomplished has also disappeared almost en-.
tirely from public view. He is not even the
shadow of mighty name. Now and then
he struggles with his fate, and strives to
emerge once more into the sphere of public
activity and political influence which was
ever SO attractive to him. But his star has
set, and if it ever rises again it will be to light
him once more to seat on q simple alder
manic throne. Booth, Atzerott. Payne, Har.
rold and Mr.. Surratt fiji dishonored graves
and, all but the leader of the infamous band
will soon be forgotten. Surratt and DR.
Mudd will soon be as dead to the recollection
of the world as their more unfortunate asso
ciates in crime. Lincoln and his War Secre-
tary, though resting in their graves, still live
their memories ever green in the hearts oil
their grateful countrymen. All but these two
figures in the drama of the 18th of April are
rapidly fading out.
