How to Address the President.

1t was not at all strange that, after the
sad experience under monarchical rule, the
early Americans should have disliked every
thing that savored Of royalty. Not only
was this spirit shown in attacks made upon
peculiar courtlness of fashion affected by a
portion of society," but it found expressions
in the constitution itself. 1t was distinctly
provided that
No title Of nobility shall be granted by the United
States;
and an instance Of the popular feeling on
this subject and peculiarities Of the two
Houses, is presented by the proceedings of
the first American Congress.
The question was raised as TO what
proper to annex to the office of President and
Vice-President of the United States, if any other
than those given in the constitution:
and this matter was deemed Of sufficient i'm
portance to receive the attention of a special
joint committee of both Houses. This CON-
m,tee reported that the President should be
addressed as ''Hs Excelency' The Sena-
tors would not agree TO the report A COM
mittee of conference was then appointed,
and reported
That, in the opinion of the
committee, it will be proper thus to address the
President: Ellis Highness, the President OF the
United States Of America, and Protector of their
liberties"
| think that was high sounding enough to
please the tastes Of the Senators. But the
members Of the House would consent to
nothing Of the kind. They did no, believe
it essential to the dignity of free people
that their chief officer should be laden down
with anything more than simple descrip-
ton Of his office. The result of the whole
matter is shown in the following resolution,

She wears no jewel upon band or brow;
No badge by which she may be known of men :
But. tho she walk in plain attire now.
She is the daughter OF the king. and when
Her Father calls her to His throne 10 wait.
She will be clothed as doth heiit her state.
Her Father sent her in His land to dwell.
Giving to her a work that must be done:
And since the King loves all His people well.
Therefore she too cares for them. every one.
And when She stoops TO lift from want and sin
The brighter shines her royalty therein.
She walks erect thro' dangers manifold,
While many sink and fall on either hand.
She heeds not summers heat nor winters cold
For both are subject to the Kings command.
She need not be afraid of anything,
Because she i the daughter of the King
Even when the Angel comes that men call
Death.
And name with terror it appall, not her;
She turns TO look at him with quickened
breath

Her back. to live within the palace walls.
For tho the land She lives in is most fair.

Correspondence of The Boston Journal
PORTLAND. Me-. Jan. % The New Eng
land Shipbuilding Company of Bath has be-
gun work upon the new steamer for the
Maine Central Railroad upon their Bar
Harbor route. The vessel will be lj6 ieet
long. 26 feet wide and 10 feet deep. and
will be built with special reference to speed
and the peculiar necessities of its route from
the railroad terminus at Sullivan to Bar
Hsrbor. In several respects the steamer
will be a novelty. Its hull will have no
guards. but very faring sides, and below the
water line will be nearly circular in form.
| This shape will give the same amount of deck
room and also the same breadth Of hull at
the load line, and will present much easier
shaped side to the action Of the waves in
rough weather than a boat with guards. 1t
will also be lighter in weight for the same
length of structure, and with long boiler
of small diameter placed low down in the
hull, the boats stability will be very.great.
