absolutely without hope.

room. News Of what was happening
went down stairs and out into the
street. It was received everywhere
with tears.
"They are saying good-by to each
other" people whispered in the streets,
all along the crowded blocks near the
house. Every one was thinking OF
what the life of these two had been, of
the intense, beautiful devotion each to
the other, of what a tender, chivalrous
lover-husband he was.
1t was impossible to think OF this
and then of the scene in that room
upon which the thoughts of the whole
world were conferred, without feeling
the eyes grow hot under the lids and a
lump come into the throat. In that
room it was, for the moment, not the
head of the mightiest nation on earth
who was dying it was a husband and
lover standing by the dark river and
giving the last look of love to that
sad, lonely, invalid woman, to whom
his smile and cheerful words were lit

and the general call sent out gave rise
to a general feeling of alarm that was
never again allayed.
Desperate measures were resorted

the sinking spell was over by 4

the treatment, and the physicians laid
their greatest hope on weathering the

favorable, for the wounds were healing

The details Of the dastardly crime at
Buffalo, which robbed the American
people. of a devoted servant, are too
fresh in the public mind to need re-
capitulation, but an account OF the
presidents last day on earth and the
noble and Christian fortitude with
which he met his fate. is appropriate
at this time. The sorrowful scenes

began to revive. The healing of the
wounds had progressed favorably. gen.
