The Presidents Desk.

If the thousands who sit in the pres

House waiting for an audience. only
knew it, they might make the time
less monotonous by contemplating the
principal article Of furniture, the eX'
ecutive's desk. 1t is handsome and
massive, with a wealth of carving, but
it's chief interest consists in its his
toric origin. You all know that Sir
John Franklin went to discover the
north pole and came back. His
good ship Resolute drifted in the cur
rents of the Arctic ocean. spared from
destruction in some mysterious man
ner, until she reached the waters of
the shores of Alaska, where some Amer
lean whalers boarded her and claimed
her. When she reached San Francis
co the United States bought her, re
paired and refitted her, manned he
with an American crew., and sent he
to England with international compli
ments. The old ship was broken III
about 80 years ago, and from tht
soundest of her timbers a handsome
desk was made, by direction of thu
queen. to be presented to the thel
president of the United States. Tha
is the desk that stands in the presi
