The larger of these two ladles (for we suppose It Is not the milliner that makes the lady), at length said: "Well, come I ain't afraid he won't say nothing to you; ho don't care for quality, though they alters stick their selves first in every place leas go down;" M down they came; but coming near the border of the open ring in which -the President and Becretary of the Navy were stand ing, salutriig the people, the good wo man's courage failed her.
