laws OF seats at the supper tab'cs To give them

G.cd up In the utmost abandonment in the.
socibles and arH.chairs, and even ON the

admiring smiles Of the lady passengers, he
ensconced himself in ali arrn-chair ind read
the evening papers.
LOUD CHEERS FOR TIE SAGE.
As the boat rounded out, three cheers for
the Philosopher went up from the pier and
from the passengers, but hc WIS deep in Il
trccsirain "screed" and did hot hear it.
Amid all the triish IF sfthet1s otter supper
the steward Of the Prot idcnec RESERVED seats
for the Sage and his party. Brown bread
and tel were the principal dishes of the Sage,
though he did not disdaitt II soft-shell crab.

cicS. As the evening c:me on and the
steiner had ploughcd her way through the
tortuous cddies of Hell Gate Il number of
ladies and gentlemen with whom the Phi
losophcr had acquaintance gathered about
him OH the after deck, and amid the cool
breezes, laden somewhat more than suited
the Philosophers fancy, perhaps, with Gin
tlers and cigar smoke, lie and they
DISCUSSED SOCIAL AND AGRICULTURAL PROBLEMS.
Among those who composed this pleasant
company were Theodore Tilton; Mrs. Win
chester, the widow of NJ. Grceley's old
partner on the NcD Yorker; Mrs. Fisher
Ames, the sculptures who modelled Lincoln's
head for the White House; Mrs. Sttrges,
Mr.. Poppy. Mr.. Sinclair, and others; while
IL widespread circle Of Others less closely
identified " it'll the main PAL " hung on the
rim of the cotcrie and listened with dcvour-
ing ears to the words of wisdom spoken by
such high author tics. The Sage wore his
summer ovcrcoat during the evening, us the
breeze sprung up quite cool.
HORACE DTS.
At 10 O'Clock he retired, and although
there was considerable rolling us the vessel
rounded Point judith, and an immense ring
ing of bells and shutiling Of trunks at New
port. where some OF the passengers delarked,
he did not make his appearance again until
the gray strcaks OF dawn in the G;st an
nounced O'Clock and the long-contnucd
changing of the gong announced Fab River.
AN EARLY GROOMING.
\ little judicous grooming on The part of
his friends brought the Sage forth from his
Statrro0m looking as neat as il new pin, and
h,vin" had his nccL-tir rt;iditlsled and his
vest pulled into place by the critical inspect
orS OF The party. he WAS declared prrScntablc
10 the most noble delegation that MaSSachu
sets could send TO him. II was sill early when
the party seated themselves in the train ut
Fall River. The Boston delegation sent word
they would await him ut the Old Colony
del IT., in the Hub, but there was Il little
demonstration over the Philosopher at Fall
River, even ut that carly hour. A number
of the mill laborcrS going TO their work dis
covered the historic white hat and gray locks
in the window of the car; they recognized
the massive head underneath them 1T once.
THE GRASP OF AN HONEST MAN.
One of them pluckcd up courage enough
to venture into the car.
Mr. Greeley" said he, 81 wanted to shake
your hand, sir" and he Srlsped the clean,
white hand of the Sage within his OWL
brawny fist. AS he withdrew to the plat

for Horace Greeley, the next President"
The shout was taken up hy the boys outside,
and then they made II rush for the old man.
lie shook bands for about twenty minutes
with these honest Sous Of labor and passed 4
few genial remarks with them. after which
they passed out. Among the hand-shakers
that came allerward WAS an alderman OF Fall
River, who said there were only six mem
hers of the Board of Aldermen in the city,
and three of them were for Greeley, (which .

seat and swectiy slept. at all the larger
towns along the route there were groups OF
people, even 50 carly in the morning, watch

fence were placartled in huge letters, 1.-The

.l. TIRE LOST TICKET.
In passing the hoat's officers at the gang
way Mr.. Greeley had lost his railway ticket.
The conductor came around, and 10! the
Philosopher discovered his loss. The official
waited patiently and smilingly while the Sage
"went through HIMSELF" and while waiting
one or two gentlemen offered him extra
tickets, which they had possessed themselves
of. to pay for the lost one. Never mind,
