many others by reason of that fact and
having been SO close to one who has
|been the head of the nation. My hav-
ping conversed on SO many private mat
tiers in his own private rooms, and hav-
ling observed the kindness with which
he treated his wife; and seen a nature

Sof harming in any way. He was low

Eident; the greatest honor to any one in
1.-THE world.

Hast reached fatal stage, and the

sley, and the court therefore stands ad-
5journed until Thursday morning at $50
