When the poor wet bishop and the President elect came upon the stand, there was an immediate portentous hush in the crowd, one heard nothing but the batter of the winter rain. The brief ceremony over, when President Davis kissed the book, accepting under God, the trust of our young and struggling nation, a great shout went up ami we distinctly heard cries of "Qod bless our President." That evening Presi dent and Mrs. Davis received at their residence, making a most favorable Impression upon all Richmond, We had been hearing a good deal of the inner life of the President's fam ily from a young inmate of his house hold destined to play tin important part in my life thereafter.
