All Friday and Friday night SO,oOO'-
900 of Americans stood in thought and
heart at the bedside of their dying
President. A simple people, devoid of
the arts which in other lands are used
to decorate the emotions, they knew
only how to sorrow in silence and hope
that the impending blow would be
spared.
In his daily life the President OF the
United States is mercy its first citi-
zen-a plain man in plain clothes, ac-
cessible to other plain men in plain
clothes. BY virtue of his Office he is
only the foremost among his equals,
and as such he meets his fellow citi-
zens without claiming or expecting
from them the studied Difference or os-
tentatious affection which is so sedu-
lousy displayed in the capitals of
ether lands.

Foreign steamship companies have a
rule by which the pay of captains and
engineers is increased where no acct
dents occur for a year. On the British
steamship lines the captains receive
from f3OO to E1,20O Il year, without per
ouisites. If, at the end of the year. a
British commanders boat has met
with no accident he gets n bonus. The
British lines think this system of re
ward has Il tendency to make COM
manders more careful. The pay of aa
engineer on the German lines anges
from f24O to fj00 n year. The pay of
the British engineer does not differ
materially from these figures, but he
also receives n bonus If his engines
run without accident during the year.

The act of union between Sweden
and Norway provides that the king
shall spend part of the year in Nor

contemplated, and it is proposed con-
stitutionally to compel the king to
spend the same length of time in Nor
way as in Sweden-say in one. we or
three years at a time in each country.

One sunny afternoon Sir John could not
resist the temptation to take a stroll
down the street. The town was very
quiet. The officers were all engaged in
preparations for balls and entertainments
Intended to deride the hated Yankees.
Consequently, dressed as a gentleman of
the period. a sword at his side and n
slender. little ivory-headed cane twirled
in his hand. he started out for the walk,
finally entering a noted coffee house.
Among those present was n man in the
uniform Of Il colonel in the British army.
He was about fifty years of age, with a
melancholy cast of co%untenance. The
colonel sat at a table opposite and watch
ed Sir John with the keenest interest for
several minutes, before the baronet, con-
scious Of being gazed at, turned, and
their yes met.
81 beg pardon, sir" said the colonel,
"but unless I mistake I have seen your
face before"
Sir John turned his mild, pleasant eyes
fully upon him and answered:
"Such an event is possible"
"Have I not the honor Of meeting Sir
John Harcourt?"
Bee q single instant there was q slight
