WELCOMED By Bio NATION
When Lafayette visited This Country,
the Whole Population Did
Him Honor.


When Lafayette revisited this
country he had no idea of the
greeting he was to receive. Noin-
timation was given him Of a pub
lie demonstration. Indeed, the
modest old hero came in most
simple and unassuming fashion,
and, not being possessed OF riches
was a little afraid lest his means
should not prove sufficient. lie
made many anxious inquiries OF
his fellow passengers on the
French packet in regard to the
prices of living and travelling in
America. A gentleman on board
invited him to make his head
quarters at his Boston residence.
Neither he nor his invited guest
had any thought of the welcome
awaiting the nations former ally.
Mr.. William Stone describes in
his "reminiscences" the recep.
ton in New York harbor.
When the packet was near the
Narrows two men rowed to the
vessel and boarded her. They
we're clad in plain civilian dress,
and, after a private conference
with the captain, quietly depart
ed. When the ship reached Stat
en- Island it dropped anchor, much
to the surprise of all, and some
what to the disgust of many of the
passengers.
Suddenly long line of vessels
was observed coming down the
bay. Steamboats, and sailing
craft of all kinds formed a quite
considerable feet. Yards were
manned, flags were flying and
bands we're playing.
"What is it?" asked Lafayette.
No one could answer save the
captain, and he kept his own coun-
sci.
"some grand anniversary OF
your republic, messieurs?" sug-
gested Lafayette.
The gay vessels approached,
making for the French ship, round
which they clustered. One of the
boats steamed alongside, and a
number of gentlemen in official
costume stepped on board. They
were the governor of New York
and his staff and the mayor of the
city.
Not until the captain of the
French ship introduced these dig.
nitaries to General Marquis de
Lafayette did the old soldier sus-
pect that the demonstration was
all for him. When the truth
dawned on him that this was the
hand of a grateful country
stretched out to give him greet.
ing, he stood speechless, with the
tears falling fast from his eyes.
AS the general babe his Boston
friend goOd-by, he said:
Monsieur, | shall love New
York SO well | may never be able
to get away from it to pay you 4
visit in Boston. Dis grand re
