1.-THE Social Life Of the President and in third ar.

Each OF the articles Will be proiuSely illustrated. An
other series equally fascinating is the one called

est enthusiasms which have occurred in America will
be revived: those wonderful times when Louis Kos
Suth rode up Broadway; when the young Prince of
Wales was here; when Jenny Lind sang in Castle
congregation by selling slaves in his pulpit; when
Grant went round the world; when Henry Clay babe
