Much of that weary time the nurse
and the President could converse with

themes on which Mr.. Lincoln was most
ready 10 speak were dear and familiar

vigis with his son.
Gradually he led her to relate the
story Of her life, and of her religious
experience The narrative charmed
him, and il was not strange that it

peace and hope she breathed over the
dying soldiers, and how she pointed

During the illness Of President Harri-
son, there were no Geographic bulletins;

experiment, five years we're We. to pass
before the first practical wire should be
laid. Railroads were but ten years old;
such II trip rs was planned and eyecut-

Mail communication was not onc-lhird
what it now is, There were but twenty
six states The nation scarcely exceed
ed seventeen millions. Yet the sorrow
was as sincere and the tokens as earn
est and cordial as those that are wit
messed now. The shock to the country
was heightened by the fact that Harri-
son was tie first President who had
died in office. The wheels of Govern.
ment had reyolyed for fifty years with
out this check. The people were un-
prepared for the event, and were un-
cerlain-nay, anXious-as to its conse-
quences. They had not the assurance

straions of the national grief
In Washington City nearly every

ings were sWouded, the elegant dwell
ings were heavily draped-even the
lowIiest abodes bore some inexpensive
badges, Business was suspended. The
funeral pageant was, for that era, very
acrimonious. The procession was two
miles in length. and comprised the
United States troops stationed in and
near Washington, with many regiments
from other cities, under the general
command of Winfield Scott besides
numerous civic societies and u vast
body Of civilians II was marshalled
by officers in mourning, The remains
of the deceased president were laid
temporarily in the Congressional bury
