Aside from the grief of the immediate family of the President, nothing since his death has affected my own heart more deeply, or drawn tears from my eyes more copiously, than the reading in the daily papers of the touching tokens of sym- pathy manifested by all classes alike — the poor as well as the rich — the hard working men and women, without name and with- out honor, as truly as the Governor of a State, or a member of the Cabinet, or a Queen on her throne. Indeed, it is said that in New Yo...rk, while Broadway and the adjacent avenues are fairly deluged with linen and bunting, the most tasteful displays are. Made in the poorer parts of the city. There the skillful hands of housewives have been at work, be- stowing a personal care upon the drapings. In this the Ger- mans esjDecially excel. One scene that attracted much attention in New York, as it passed through Grand street, was a ragman's cart with a string of bells in its rear. The bells were clothed in black and white, and in the middle of the cart was a wooden frame holding a cheap print likeness of the President.
