Paying Respect . to His Head

On his arrival at Long Branch,
President Arthur was driven to the
cottageCpij Attdrney-General - Mc
Yeagh. In the first carriage the
front Beat was occupied by Secretary
Wiridom arid Attorney-General Mc
Yeagh, and the rear seat by Presi
dent Arthur and ' Secretary Blaine
The second carriage contained Gen.
. Bovntciriffl President Arthur's son
and Secretary Barnes. Secretaries
Lincoln, Kirkwood and Hunt occu
pied the third carriage. The other
, carriages contained friends of the
party. The party . were not driven
nearthe Francklyn , -cottage T but
down the main, road to tbe gate of
the-McYegh cottage inclosure.

showed something possibly of what

be" felt" for" Mrs. ' Garfield, for it is
only a few months since he lost his
wife.1 His mourning attire gave rise
to frequent comment. When the
President and Attorney General
started for thejFrancklyn cottage to
view the remains of the dead Iresi
dent and personally express sympa
thy to Mrs. Garfield, ihe President
met the first salute from one of the
guards on duty and took off his hat
instead of giviner the military salute.
His tall form I quite overshadowed
tnat of McVeagb. He was dressed
neatly and Dfainlv in black.! His
face was paler than usual, and there
was a noticeable absence, except for
a moment of intervals, of the old and
familiar flush,!

heavy and bushy, of mingled black

one year older than Gen. Garfield.

pied the porch. Neither the Presi

the General caught up with them
It was noticed a a contrast that
while Gen. 'Arthur's bearing was
straight and Wlitarvv and he re
ceived the salute from the soldiers
"due to his station, the great soldier
who followed him stooped greatly,

an instant and, shook hands, but did

so that the , wide brim of his hat
sheltered his 'eyes. President Ar

his eyes as he passed on in the other

the cottage was short, and al few
minutes before. 4 o'clock the crowd
