The King came home and brought his soldiers with him��� he and they are the idols of that nation now. He brought his 1,500 captive knights and nobles, too���we shall not see any such output of blue blood as that to-day, bond or free. The King rested three weeks in his palace, the tower of London, while the people made preparations and prepared the welcome due him. On December 22d all was ready. Translated, this is the narrative of the spirit correspondent who is looking down upon me at this moment from his high home admiring to see how the art and mystery of spelling has improved since his time. ���I was commanded by my Lord, the Lord Mayor, to make a report for the Archives, and was furnished with a fleet horse and with a paper permitting me to go anywhere at my will, without let or hindrance, even up and down the processional route, though no other person not of the procession itself was allowed this unique privilege during the whole of the 21st and the 22d. ���I rode solitary���in state, as it might be���and was envied, as I could see, and did not escape comment, but had a plenty of it, for the conduits were running gratis wine and the results were accumulating. I got many ribald compliments���on my riding, on my clothes, on my office. Everybody was happy, so it was best to seem so myself, which I did���for those people���s aim was better than their eggs.
