It may have been mere curiosity to learn the Gen- eral's movements, or it may have been some far blacker design.
278 THE BOYS' LIFE OF It was at Philadelphia, about midnight, that the news of the night's tragedy reached Grant.
Crowds were there to greet him, despite 'the late- ness of the hour— but there were also telegrams which made him deaf to the noise of their dieers.
After reading them he sat with bowed head, per- fectly silent, tmtil his wife asked him gently what bad news they brought.
...It was not only that he had lost a friend, and that the country had lost a President. He real- ized as few others did the magnitude of the loss —how much the broad statesmanship and kindly wisdom of the martyred ruler would have meant to the cotmtry, and especially to the South, in the days that were at hand. "To bind up the nation's wounds," to "do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace," had been the concern of the great heart and noble mind of the man who was dead. Where would the passions aroused by his murder, the hatred and terror and revenge into which the people were thrown, the power suddenly thrust into the hands of an tm- trained and untried man, lead a country blind with grief?
