placed without Inconvenience in the express
wagon, and the bearers rode with him. Col.
Rockwell sat on his right, tanning away the
flies, and DR.. Boynton sat at the left of the pa
TENTS head, on the alert to steady the pillow
should any jar disturb it A crowd of several
hundred people were gathered at the gate to
see the president, and they reverently uncov-
cred their heads az he passed out into Penn
sylvania avenue He looked neither to the
right nor left, but seemed in drowsy co,ldi-
ton from the morphine that had been given
him.
HIS FACE WORE THE ASPECT OF 4 CORPSE
TWAS 80 deathly pale and thin that no one
would have recognized him if it had not been
known who he was; for his complexion, as
white as chalk, stood out in deathly contrast
with the rudy glow Of his cheek as it had
been last seen by the people It was not 80
much the emaciation that struck the observer
as this milk-white color Of the skin, from
which every tint of blood had fed. The police
had cleared the avenue of all vehicles At $50,
along the way to the depot, go that nothing
occurred to disturb him. A Gordon of police
walked near the wagon to keep the people
from pressing too near, but they followed; and
as the vehicle neared the curbstones on the
corners close view of his face was obtained.
He proceeded to the depot without accident or
inconvenience. ~

eagerly forward to catch . glimpse Of the pres

turned on its side and the eyes wide open,
staring at the multitude while tho feeble hand
vsinly esssyed to wave recognition. There
was no demonstration among the people. but
many face turned red with suppressed emo
ton, the tears trickled down many cheek and
as if by one impulse every mans head was un-

the door of the car, and after several futile at
tempts the rear portion of the wagon was
brought to the right juncture. As the wagon
