Presentation on Boa rd Stenme CT,

A correspondent writes I happened to
 be on the steamer s'Republic'' sailing from New York the 29th of June, on which Gen.
 eral E. s. Greeley and family of your city had taken passage for Europe, and witnessed very neatly performed ceremonial, the
 presentation of gold mounted cane to the General by the attaches of his office. The
 presentation made in the grand saloon by
 one of the young gentlemen (of whom there
 were quite number present) who had been
 connected with the General for some years
 and was responded to by him.
 Hearing imperfectly the words in which
 the speakers voiced their utterances, I will not attempt to 1epeat them. I quite sat isfied, however, from the broken sentences which did reach me and the plaudits which followed, that both acquitted themselves very creditably.
 Impressed with the good taste displayed in this ceremonial, your correspondent sought an explanation and interviewing one of the party was most politely informed that the fee as an expression of the esteem and affec-
 ton in which they held their principal. The cane was of polished ebony, heavily
 mounted and inscribed simply General E. s. Greeley, June 20. 1882 ' On the same table stood two grand baskets of rare flowers, one of them full two feet in diameter, which
 had been previously presented to Mrs Gree ley and their lovely daughter Miss Jennie,
 and now the gong sounded and the party quickly bade the "bon voyage'' and departed, the one for the big waters and the other con- tlnent, the others for the work of the day and the tolls of the summer.
