and hastened off to the residence OF New

Another part of the prearranged pro-
gramme at Elizabeth was breakfast to
members of the Cabinet on the train.
When the train stopped they were not
asked to alight. Mr.. Keane explained that
his expression of hospitality had been
overuled by the local Committee of Ar
rangements on the ground that there would
not be time for him to carry it into effect.
The committee had agreed to deliver the
President and his party to the New York
representatives at Elizabethport promptly
at 10 o'clock. The Cabinet officials sue
ceeded in concesling their disappointment
at being deprived of the pleasure OF accept,
ing Mr.. Keane's invitation, and solaced
themselves by partaking heartily OF the
good cheer afforded by the railroad COM
psny.
While President Harrison was a break
fast, the train remained in the vicinity of
the station, being moved up and down the
tracks possibly for the purpose OF allowing
the Elizabeth people an opportunity to see
the handsomest train on earth. Post

minded him of the advertisement of cir

TRENTON, n J., April 29.-The first
faint gray streaks Of dawn were visible as
as the Presidential train drew to a stop at
West Philadelphia, where a change OF en-
qines and the first stop Of any consequence
was made. The rain, which 1t
was hoped had been left behind,
was present, making the opening
of the day misty and disagreeable. 1t
had been ever present, as few drops had
been noticed before the train left Washing
ton but the hope had been INDUCED in
that it was only a passing April shower
and that its presence was only temporary
Shortly after leaving Washington, at l

dent Harrison, who did not walt until the

not retiring Immediately was the fact that
in the forward part of the train, devoted
TO the uses of the newspaper men, de-
liphtful luncheon had been spread by the
officials of the road in charge, which was
enioyed until Baltimore was reached
The time of the train was more rapid
than the officials schedule called for and
so it was that no stops of consequence, or
mote was made until West Philadelphia
was reached. This was at 4:45, when the
schedule called for Wilmington at a. m.
The trip, which had required George Wash
ineton a hundred years ago several days
to make. was being covered in these later
days. both expeditions and luxurious, In

of the Treasury, and the citizens. They
marched from Cherry street through Pearl
and Broad streets TO Wall street.
Within two hundred yards Of Federal
Hall, where the ceremonies were to take
place, Washington and his suite alighted
and on foot passed through the troops
drawn up on either side into the Senate
chamber, where the Vice-President, the
Senate and House of Representatives were
assembled. Vice. President John Adams,
who had quietly taken the oath of office
two days before, advanced and conducted
Washington to chair of state at the up

A NATIONAL SALUTE.
ushered in the morning of April 80. All
business was suspended. The streets were
filed with men and women in holiday at
tire, while constant arrivals from the ad-
joining country by the common roads and
ferry-bosts and by packets which had been
all night on the sound or coming down the
Hudson swelled the eager throng. At nine
o'clock the bells pealed merrily from every
steeple in the city, then paused; and pres
emily in slow, measured tones summoned
the people to the churches ito implore the
blessings Of Heaven on the Nation and
its chosen President"
At noon the military, marching from
their respective quarters with unfurled
banners and inspiring music, formed op-
posite the Presidential mansion under the
immediate direction of Colonel Morgan
Lewis. The procession moved in the fol
lowing order: The military, the sherif the

THE OATH OF OFFICE
required by the constitution. The oath
was administered by the Chancellor of the
State of New York in balcony in front of
the Senate chamber, and in full view of an
immense audience occupying the street, the
windows and the roofs of adjacent houses
commanding view of the impressive cere-
mony. The balcony formed kind of open
recess, with lofty columns supporting the
roof. In the center was table with a
covering of crimson velvet, on which lay a
superbly bound Bible on a crimson velvet
cushion. This was all the paraphernalia
for the august scene.
All eyes were fixed upon the balcony
when, at the appointed hour, Washington
made his appearance. lie was clad 10 a
full suit Of dark brown cloth of American
manufacture, with a steel-hilted dress
sword, white silk stockings and silver shoe
buckles. His hair was dressed and pow
dered in the fashion of the day, and worn
in bag and solitaire. His entrance on the
balcony was hailed with universal shouts,
and he was evidently moved by this dem
onstration of public affection. Advancing
to the front of the balcony he laid his
hand upon his heart, bowed several times,
and then retrested to an armchair near the
table. The populace appeared to under
stand that the scene had overcome him,
and were hushed at once into profound si-
lence. After few moments Washington
rose and again came forward. The Vice
President stood on his right; on his left
was Robert II. Livingston, the Chancellor
of State, and somewhat to the rear were
Alexander Hamilton, Roger Sherman, Gen.
Knox, General st. Clair, Baron Steuben
and others. The Chancellor advanced to
administer the oath and Mr.. Otis, Secre.
tary of the Senate, held up the Bible or
its crimson cushion. The oath was reaC
slowly and distinctly, Washington a! th'
same time laying his hand on the oper
Bible. When the ceremony was conclud
ed he replied, solemnly: 81 swear; so helE
me God" Mr.. Otis would have raised th'
Bible to his lips, but

the two houses of Congress, Federal, State
aud municipal officials, and great con-
course of citizens. To carry him across
the bay to New York City, splendid
barge had been prepared, manned by thir-
teen master pilots in white, under COM
mand Of Commodore james Nicholson.
There were other barges, almost equally
handsome, for the Congressional commit
tees and heads of departments, and private
barges fell into line, forming grand hotll-
Ia that moved across the beautiful bay, the
oars keeping time to the strains of vocal
and instrumental music. All the vessels In
the harbor but one were gayiy decked with

met by cavalcade OF the citizens of Alex

vited to attend public dinner in that
city, which invitation he reluctantly ac-
cepted, and whereat he was welcomed by
the Mayor in touching speech. From
this point on his trip was a continued ova-
iion. Approaching Philadelphia he wss
met by a cavalcade under tbs command of

A TRIU9fPHAL PROCESSION.

the signal for a general discharge of artil-
lery on the battery. All the bells in the
city rang out Joyful peel, and the multi
tude rent the cir with acClamations.
Washington again bowed to the people
and returned into the Senate chamber,
where he delivered to both Houses of Con-
gress his inaugural address with voice
slightly tremulous, and so low as to de-
mand close attention on the part of his
listeners. After this he proceeded with
the whole assemblage on foot to st. Psul's
Church, where prayers suited to the occa-
sion we're read by Rev. DIR. Provost,
Bishop Of the Protestant Episcopal Church

pointed one of the chaplains of Congress.

and the evening to brilliant Examinations

MARTHA WASHINGTON.
AN FIaHT DAYs' IOURNEY.

Before setting out on the direct journey
TO New York, Washington went to Fred
ericksburg to bid adieu to his mother, then
nearly eighty years of age, and, as she
then predicted, it was theil last meeting
on earth. On the morning of April 16,
l7ss, Washington bade adieu to Mount
Vernon, to private life and domestic felic-
ity, and with a mind oppressed with anx-
ious and painful sensations set out ioI
New York with Mr. Thomson and Colonel
Humphreys. He was eight days on the
road, travelling in his private carriage, pre-
celed in a stage by his private secretary,
Tobias Lear It was his desire
to make the journey privately, but so great
was the enthusiasm all along the line
that this was impossible. Indeed, at the
