The late President of the United States is evidently nob a proud man. He walks up Broadway every afternoon without attracting any attention. He drops into the Fifth Avenue- Hotel, in the nest of' the very busiest men of the world, without causing a ripple of excitement.' He lunches every day in a small restaurant near his office on lower Broadway, and not one person out of a hundred recognises him. He takes his turn in a little Italian barber’s shop on Park Row, the same as any other man, without attracting the slightest notice. He waited fifteen minutes the other morning to be shaved, and took the place of a burly ’longshoreman in the barber’s chair, chatted affably with the artist as his razor glided over the ex-Presidenb’s. face, picked up his own hat, brushed his owp ; coat, paid his 15 cents., and walked out of the place without even tb© barber suspecting who he was.
