What! said Bob, did you not furnish a special train for the funeral of General Harrison? Yes, said the superintendent, stroking his whiskers; and if you will only bring your father here in that shape, you shall have the best train on the road! Once — on what was called a public day, when Mr. Lincoln received all applicants in their turnthe writer Colonel Charles G. Halpine, New York Citizen. was struck by observing, as he passed through the corridor, the heterogeneous crowd of men and women, representing all ranks and classes, who were gathered in the large waiting-room outside the Presidential suite of offices. Being ushered into the President's chamber by Major Hay, the first thing he saw was Mr. Lincoln bowing an elderly lady out of the door,--the President's remarks to her being, as she still lingered and appeared reluctant to go: I am reall

Nothing had been said to put Dana on guard against telling about his appointment, which must have become known to everybody immediately, and so, naturally enough, without a thought of harm, he told his friend, who repeated it to the reporters, and they in turn sent it to the New York paper
