How First London Minister Sailed.
When our first foreign minister ar
ranged to go to London he was re-
quested by the captain Of the sailing
vessel in New York harbOr to go
aboard Immediately. Hastily buying
a sack of -four, three hams, and a bag
Of potatoes, he hurried on board ship
to arrange with some sailor to cook
his meals, not knowing but that they
might sail at any hour. Five weeks
passed before the boat left the harbor.
After six weeks at sea the traveller at
length beheld the outlines of the coast
