and the Chancellor stood Secretary Otis, of
the Senate, a small, short man, holding q
Bible on Il crimson cushion. Conspicuous
in the group were Roger Sherman, General
Knox, General st. Clair and Baron Stcuben.
The Bible upon which the oath was taken
is carefully preserved by St Johns Masonic
Lodge, No. l, of this State. Itboars this in-
scription: "On this Gacred volume, on The
thirtieth day Of April, 1879, in the City of
New York, was administered to George
Washington, the first President of the
United States of America, the oath to sup
port the constitution of the United States.
Chancellor Livingston administered the
oath in slow, distinct words. When the BIZ
BILE was raised, and as Washington bowed to
kiss it, he said, gravely: II swear" adding
fervently, with closed eyes, 80 help me,
God"
"It is DONE" said the Chancellor; and
then turning to the spellbound throng be-
low he exclaimed: Long live George
Washington, President of the United
States!" This was the signal for the out
burst of pent-up joy and patriotism. A
hurricane of shouts rent the air, and with
the waving of flags and banners lasted for
several minutes. A flag was Immediately
displayed over Federal Hall us n sign that
| the ceremony had been performed and in
simultaneously all the bells in the city rang
out triumphaDtly, while cannon doomed
from fort and fleet in every direction.
Washington bowed low to the vast, cheer
ing assemblage, and then retired to the
Senate chamber, where he delivered q
short inaugural address remarkable for its
modesty, dignity and wisdom.
After his address, President Washington,
attended by the Vice-President, Chancellor
Livingston, Cabinet officers and other dig
nitaries went to st Paul's Chapel, where
prayers were read by Bishop Provost, one
of the chaplains of Congress. The church
was crowded, and the services very i'm
pressive After they were over the Presi-
dent was escorted to his residence. In the
evening the city was brilliantly Illuminated,
and the people, who usually retired early,
sat up until late hour talking about the
event of the day which crowned the man
who was first in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts of his countrymen."
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1889-04-27

and Washington, having alighted from his
chariot, attended by a body-guard, walked
through the avenue thus made, amid in
tense cheering. He was conducted directly
to the Senate Chamber, where Congress had
lust assembled. Vice-President Adams,
who had taken the oath of office few days
previously, met Washington at the entrance
and escorted him to the Presidents chair.
Having made formal introduction, the
President turned to Washington and
gravely addressed him as follows; "Sir, the
Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States are ready to attend you to
take tho oath required by the constitution,
which will be administered by the Chan
cellor of the State of New York"
AZ am ready to proceed" was the grave
response.
yice-President Adams then escorted
Washington to the balcony, accompanied
by Congressman and distinguished officials.
Wall and Broad streets, and windows and
house tops in every direction were
crowded. The tumult ceased. A profound
silence that was awe inspiring and almost
appalling brooded over the Scene immedi-
ately preceding the administration of the

A travelled Chinese mandarin who

position and treatment OF women in
Europe. These surprised him beyond
measure. Thus the notion of husband
and wife walking arm in arm in public

Il husband may perform any menial
task in his wife's presence, yet no one

notion of men standing aside to let
woman pass and the code of politeness
which requires men TO make way for
woman, are to him incomprehensible.
In China when the men are gorged
tho women dine off the scraps; but in
the West "at meal-time the men must
wait until the women are seated, and
then take one after another their
places, and the same rule must be OBJ
served when the meal is finished"
Western women have curious notions
about dress and appearance. "They
set store by a large bust and slender
waist, but while the waist can be COM
pressed, the bust can not naturally be
enlarged: the majority have wicker
contrivance made which is con-
cealed under the bodice on either
side, and is considered an adorn-
ment. If woman is short
sighted, she will publicly mount spec
tacles. Even young girls in their
teens pass thus along the streets,
and it is not regarded as strange" "
