Tbe 'president started from WaslK lngton with a cbjp on hi shoulder. Tba very fist crowd be met knocked It oX without ceremony. It soon became! clear the people were In a reseutfuf mood, and after two or three clashes) some of Mr. Johnson' best frteadsi recommended a change of programme Many believed that the president see ing tbe mood of the people, would) yield, but they didn't know the man I bad seen him face all sorts of crowdaj while be waa military governor nfj Tennessee.

Johnson, looking down oh the tumult; saw smiling, contemptuous faces, but no hatred.

General Grant said decisively, "I will not" :.-'. ; . . . -: ' Then, the president said, more gra ciously, "Won't you show yourself, general?" .

Grunt's face was full of Indignation and reproach, aud the crowd, accepting his rebuke, listened to the president for .mi hour. And tha president did not spare the people, lie scolded them to his heart's eonfejut, ro piled to all their tannts, talked back to) every man that opened bis mouth and Beemed to enjoy the performance as a war horse would a buttle.
