one, sir, said the President, your papers will be sent to you. I never wish to see your face again! Upon another occasion, as I was going through the passage, the door of the President's office suddenly opened, and two ladies, one of whom seemed in a towering passion, were unceremoniously ushered out by one of the attendants. As they passed me on their way down the stairs, I overheard the elder remonstrating with her companion upon the violence of her expressions. I afterward asked old Daniel what had happened? Oh, he replied, the younger woman was very saucy to the President. She went one step too far; and he told me to show them out of the house? Of a similar character is an incident given by N. C. J., in a letter to the New York Times :-- Among the various applicants, a well-dressed lady came forward, without apparent embarrassment in her air or manner, and addressed the President.

I said there was, and if he would allow, her eyes were lifted and her lips moving in prayer, the tears streaming down her cheeks.

Mrs. C. said to him: This is Sojourner Truth, who has come all the way from Michigan to see you. He then arose, gave me his hand, made a bow, and said: I am pleased to see you. I said to him: Mr. President, when you first took your seat I feared you would be torn to pieces, for I likened you unto Daniel, who was thrown into the lions' den; and if the lions did not tear you into pieces, I knew that it would be God that had saved you; and I said if He spared me I would see you before the four years expired, and He has done so, and now I am here to see you for myself. He then congratulated me on my having been spared. Then I said: I appreciate you, for you are the best President who has ever taken the seat. He replied thus: I expect you have reference to my having emancipated the slaves i
