Henry WilsOn, the Christian.

The leading facts in the life of Mr..
Wilson are summarily stated 10 the article
published elsewhere. They show US what
he was as politician. and statesman;
we desire to add few words concerning
Henry Wilson the Christian.
Not tar from eight years ago. while the
writer was sitting in his office at the Tract
House in Boston. word was sent up to
him from Rev. DR.. Kirk, inquiring
whether he could have the use of said
Office for private interview with gen.
tleman. The answer. OF course, was in
the affirmative; and shortly after the DR..
entered accompanied by Mr.. Wilson. IL
was apparent that the latter was laboring
under mental excitement. and It was un-
derstood at once that 1t was concern for
his spiritual state. The circumstance
awakened deep interest among the per-
sons connected with the Tract Society,
who by spontaneous impulse engaged
in special prayer for the Holy Spirit upon
the interview. 1t was known to some OF
Us tkat Mr.. Wilson had for a considerable
time been in very tender state Of mind.
The death OF his only son in. the army,
young man oi great promise, had been a
severe blow to him, and the prayers and
example of bis Christian vile who was a
patient sufferer under excruciating dis
ease, had showed him the power Of faith
in Christ to sustain and bless the soul. IL
was in this crisis. during a visit to Boston,
that his intimate friend DR.. Kirk met him.
and with characteristic faithfulness press
ed him to an immediate personal accept.
ancs of like faith for himself. A fav-
orable response was given. in consequence
of which DR.. X. sought place of retire
ment in which they might pray together.
The interview lasted perhaps an bouy.

Denver was on the tlptoe OF ex-
pectancy on Saturday. That village
was always very sanguine, aud very
forward-too much so. Its papers
rushed out IN Saturday morning with
black letter announcements.
THE Presidents visit to Denver!"
President Grant left Omaha for
Denver yesterday"
4" President Grant and party due in
Denver tonight"
All this was exceedingly unmanner-
ly, because the President, as in duty
bound, proposed to visit places of i'm
pOrtance first. Consequently Caey-
enne had the honor of receiving the
Presidential party on Saturday. Salt
Lake CIty-neXt in Importance, was
hnnOred yesterday and to-day. To-
morrow the party will return to the
Magic City /; aud-if Denver will not
be so forward, perchance, the party
will stop q few minutes there on its
return trip from Cheyenne to St.
Louis. It's an unpropitinus sign to see
Denver making such frantic efforts to
be noticed by travelling notables.
Bless your souls the Presidential party
understands the geography Of the
country, and knows where Denver is
located on the maps! There is no
need of hawling your existence into its
ears! Have some manners, folks!
and don't, pray, act like a lot of romp-
ing boys aud girls! Behave yourselves
until the Presidential party shall have
passed 10y your village J"
