The Harrison Family at Washington. Whinton Special to Ph-Urtelphia Preis. The family of General Harrison are pleasantly rememberes in Washington from their six winters' residence here daring his recent senatorial term. They were kindly, cordial people, not able to hootekeep here in the style of wealthier Senators, as Oeoeral Hsrrieon lived mainly on his saisry and contributed to the support of a tv id owed sister beside. But, though plain in pune, tbey had always the prestige of distinguished family on both sides, cud took their senatorial position naturally and easily, too well balanced to strain for display beyond their reach, but receiving their friends and to calling world in general with well-bred hospitality in their hotel or bosrdiog-bouse parlors. The first winter they boarded at the Riggs House, and there their only son, Russell, in vis iting hie psrents and sister, met bis future life-partner in the person of Miss Ma-, mie Saunders, a yoong blonds beauty, the only ebild of the then eenior Senator from Nebraska, who was just home from board icg-schooL Some three years later they were married, and are now residing in Helena. M. T. They have a baby daughter a few months old. Miss Mary Hsrrisoc, tbs General's only daugh ter. married Mr. James Robert MeKee, a young merchant of Indianapolis, shortly after the mar riage of her brother, and a little son, born to them last year, bears the name of Benjamin Hanison MeKee. Miss Hsrrieon was one of the most popular girls in Washington society, and belonged to the set of which Dora Miller, the California Senator Miller's brilliant daughter; Miss McElroy, niece of President Arthur; Miss Jennie Sherril). Miss Kate Bayard and Miss Virginia Cameron were a few others of noteworthy interest. Mrs. MeKee is a devotedly happy wife and daughter.

I found her sitting over a bright open fire, with a light red shawl thrown over her dark dreas and reading Harper's Monthly. She was all alone when she heard the news. Her faee did not change. 1 asked her if she was pleased and she said in reply. "I am a little disspoointsd, bnt 1 am glad it is over. 1 know Mr. Harrison. lie is a very good man. He comes of a fine famllv and has a very good record as a public man. Wben I said I was disappointed, I merely indicated a thought of my own. I would hsve liked to have seen Mr. Blaine nominated if it could have been unanimonsiy, but not otherwise. Mr. Blaine did not desire to be a candidate, and so that constd eration was enough to sink all one's personal wlhes." Mrs. Blaise then continued to talk and to .dwell upon Mr. Harrison. She felt pleased that he had been selected out of all other Republican cendidat'S formally named. From politics she, drifted into a chat about the coaching trip and the crest pleasure she bad as a guest While Mrs. Bialne talked the sound of a band was heard, and she at once went to a window, the village procestion seeming to amuse her very much. In a moment all tbe party came trooping into the room. Mr. Blaine saw that Mrs. Btaine already knew the result, and he and Sir. Carnegie retired to a smaller private room, where Mr. Blaine prepared his telegram of congratulation to Mr. Harrison. The message was written in a hearty spirit and was dashed off in a few moments, and Mr. Carnegie was intrusted with th esreof eabliogit to Mr. Harrison. Mr. Blaine thought that it would not be civil to Mr. Harrison to give out this tel- ' egram from this side, knowing full well that it would be promptly given out for publication opon arrival. Beyond the dispatch of congratulation, Mr. Blaine did not care to add anything beyond his first phrase, "A good nomination. " Morton m Self-Made 2kXan. Htlwentee Evening Wisconsin. II H.

Is in every respect a self-made mac All that he is and all that be has is the result of his own efforts. Like all self-made men he is self-reliant and confident of his own opinions. He is a very aetive man, who has the hsppy faculty of keep Izgc himself in the front. He is publis spirited, and ia New York is very popular. As a business man he stands in the front ranks, and in every way he is a well-rounded man." When asked if he thought the selection was the best that cotld have been made. Mr. Camp replied: "I think it is. Mr. Morton was the choice of the New York delegation in Chicago, and soch men as Chsuneey Depew and his associates ought to know the poblie mind.

Harrison is a men slightly under medium height His figure, however, is very broad and compact His Isrge head is set well down between his broad, high shoulders, as his neck is very short. His face is of an almost deadly pallor, although the Senator enjoys excellent health. It is tho complexion of a recluse. His eyes are a grayish blue, deeply set under a very prominent, bnlgiag forehead. His cose is straight, slightly enrviDg outward, and square at the end. Hie thin-lipped mouth is shaded by a very ligat, long, curling moustache, while the lower part of his face is hidden in a long, ssndy. gray beard.

Ilia Democratic Ways. Indianapolis Special in PitUbarg Dispatch. A story was told by one of his friends to-day illustrating General Harrison's simplicity of life. A week ago, it la said, a Caltholie Church fair was about to be opened here, and the men agers asked a number of leading men, including ex-Governor Porter, Governor Gray and General Harrison, to make speeches upon the occasion. Gen. Harrison also would be most hsppy. The committee hinted that if he would name a con venlent boar a eerrUre would be In waitine. "Oh, never mind that." said the General, "this is for a benevolent object, and there is no need of spending any of the money for a carriage for me. I had just as lief go in a street-ear.

It wss made of light timber, firmly joined and a wooden bar passed through its center, protruding some two feet on escb side; to this was attached rooos, and at Intervals of three or four feet short band-bars were fastened in the ropes, by means of which the delegation drsgged it forward and the ball, onee set in motion, was kept rolling till the election gsye the "Hard Cider and Log Cabin" boys a victory. The ball was covered with red, white and blue cloth, in altercate stripes, and at the poles were stars on a bine ground. It was covered with various inscriptions, amongst them the following.

BOSS'S REFRAIN OF "TIPPECANOE." The Popular Campaign Soog of Forty-Eight Years Ago Will Be Sung This Year. Zsnesviile, 0., Courier. . The most famous of American political songs is "Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too,", written by the late Alexander a Ross, of Zsnesviile, in 1619. Said a writer in the North American Review some years sgo, Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too' wss to the political canvass In 1840 what the Marseillaise was to the French revolution, lt sang Harrison into tho presidency. Through this half martial, half rollicking melody, the pent up feelings of a people whose baoka were suspended, whose laborers were out of work, who were pinched by hard times, and to whom the Whigs promised two dollars a day and rosst beef,' hsd found ezptession and the song wss sung throughout the country as if by madmen." Some writers have attributed the song to John Grenier, formerly the editor of a weekly Pper in Zanesrillo, wbo waa the author of The Wagoner Bey" and "Zip Coon," but the credit belongs to the late Alexander C Ross, wbo made the first daguerreotype produced on this continent. The late Mr. Ross, many times during the later years of his life, related to the writer of these lines the circumstances under which the famous eonr was brousht out. Id 1S40 A. C. Ross was a member of s political glee club, but none of the songs suited bis taste. "They were not spirited enough for forty," he declared, and one morning be went to church with the air of "Little Pigs' running through his mind. By the time the minister had ronnded up hia "lastly," Tippecanoe and Tvler. Too" had been set dancing to the tune of ''Little Pigs." He was at a loes, however, for one lioe in the refrain. His words were "Van. Van, you're a nice little man," and they did not auit Mr. Ross, for he could never bear the thought of dealing in an untruth, as it appeared to him. even ironically. A. C Ross always went to the mark direct, and the "nice little man" troubled him. A friend suggested, meke it "Van Van, is a used up man," and that settled it. The words were quickly adopted and the song was read to the glee club on Saturday evening, it was published as given on the second page of to-day's Courier, and found immediate favor throughout the country. Theeutofthe log cabin, printed with the song to-day, was engraved by A. C Roes in 1840, and has been in the possession of the Courier a long time. It Is now of priceless value. During the summer of the memorable Harrison campaign, Mr. Ross visited New York to purchase goods, and be attended a meeting in Lafayette Hall, where Prentiss, of Mississippi, Tal mage, of New York, and Otis, of Boston, were to speak. Charles Delavan presided, and after the local glee club had ex bausted their stoek of songs and the people were becoming rostless over the continued absence of the orators, the president of the meeting called for volunteer songe. A. C. Ross worked bis way through the crowd to the . m m aa .ivvvi Platrorm, ana sorneooay aemanaea: "vno are youP "A Buckeye from the Buckeye State." answered the young man, and then three hearty cheers were given. Mr. Ross requested the erowd to keep quiet until after be had sung three stanzas, and then they could join in the chorus if they desired. He sang "Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too," and the people went wild. Although our friend and fellow-citizen has been dead for years, he will live in the campaign under the leadership of the illustrious grandson of the man A. C. Ross idolized. Another Version of the Story. .Evening Wisconsin. There is no mistaking the signs It is to be an enthusiastie campaign. General Harrison will inherit much of the enthusiasm of 1840, when his distinguished soldier grandfather was the successful candidate for President. Maj. Charles II. Ross, of this city, the Milwaukee agent for the Baltimore & Ohio railway, is the possessor of the only plates need for the Harrison badge; in IbiO. Major Ross's father, A. C Rois, of Zsnesviile, O., was a jeweler, and he engraved these plates himself for the Tippecanoe Club, of that city. Ha also wrote the fsmous song which is destined to reappear forty-eight years after it did such good service in the campaign, which resulted ia the disastrous defeat of Martin Van Buren, wbo had been unanimonsiy renominated by the Democrats. Major Roes hunted op these nlates after Harrison's nomination yesterday, and is having a few old-time badgea made for. his own edification.- On the small badge appyjtL. the log cabin, and under it "Harrison an RefornV " On the larger badge J"fDeworde.

The chairman of Ihe meeting said: 'If there is a gentleman present wbo can sing let him come forward." The xnodeat Ohio merchant said to his friends near him, "If I was up there I eould sing them a song." His answer was heard by several, and he was immediately lifted over the shoulders of the Immense audience to the platform, when he sang "Tippecanoe and Tyler, -Too." Tha audience was wild with enthusiasm, and he had to repeat lt arain and again, and the next day all over New York people were humming tha atirring campaign tune. Within the next month or two "Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too" was rendered in every city and village throughout tho country. The senior Ross was a Whig throughout the existence of that party, and from that time to his death in 1883 he was a stanch Republican. Following are tha words of the old campaign song-.

Senator Beck received quite a shock the other day. He was hastily passing through the rotunda of the Capitol, preparatory to going to Ivy City to the races, when a man excitedly shouted to him to get out of the wsy, at the same time frantically pointing to a black box that was held in such a position that the nozzle waa directly upward and straight toward Mr. Beck. Tha Kentucky Senator jumped about three feet in the air and made wild gestures with his cane, evidently thinking that the machine wss going to shoot.

Wssbington 8pcIaL On the north side of Bridge street, between Thirty-third and Thirty fourth streets. West Washington, or Georgetown, stands the large atrncture known as tbe Bank of Columbia, which is now associated in the memory as the place where President-elect William Henry Harrison, the grandsire of Benjamin Harrison, the Republican nominee for President, was entertained shortly alter bis election. The bank waa chartered by the Legislature of Maryland in 1793. Of the reception tendered to General Harrison Feb. 12, 1841, and upon which occasion it is generally conceded he contracted the severe cold, which brought on pneumonia, and eaused his death a short time after, the Georgetown Advocate, of Feb. 13, 1841. has this to ssy: "Though it was an extremely cold day, the Streets of the town were crowded with people at an early hour to welcome the President-eleet At tbe eorner of High and Bridge streets a hand some arch bad been erected, composed of evergreens and richly festooned with flags, and from the center ot the arch depended a motto: 'A heartfelt welcome to the President of tbe whole people. "The procession was formed under the direction of tbe chief marshal, Colonel Sail, and In eluded the students of Georgetown College, in uniform, and other societies. The citizens bore the famous Whig banner, of (Baltimore convention celebrity, and the students of the eollege another very neat banner. Tbe line of march was taken up toward the bridge, where the procession waa met by General Harrison, in an oxen barouche, and he n as escorted to the old Bank of Colombia, where tbe reception was to take place, the procession arriving there at 12 o'clock. Upon assembling an address of welcome was delivered by Henry . Addison, to which the President replied in a brief but satisfactory manner. ''After the speech-making a dinner wss givsn to which was invited the Mayor, members of the corporation.the committee on arrangements, the marshals ot the dsy and a few invited guests, among whom were Colonel Brent and Philip R. Fendall, of Washington." Of the toasts and speeches, which were In a happy vein, the Advocate says: "To the first toast, 'General Harrison, the People's Choice,' be replied in an easy and appropriate manner. He stated in substance that he would always be found ready and willing to protect tbe people of tbe District in the enjoyment of tbe rights granted them bv the Constitution; that by the cession of the District they were deprived of none of their rights of property or action, and that he would do all in his power to emancipate them from executive tbralldom, and that their wants and desires should never be disregarded by him. He also denied that Congress had any more power to interfere with the property (meaning slaves) of the District than they had with that of any of the Southern States." Henry Clay and Daniel Webster were toasted, and General Harrison responded. He said that . he hai tendered the highest position in his Cabinet to Mr. Clay, who declined the honor, and then to Mr. Webster, who accepted it, and he felt satisfied that the South as well ta the North would rejoice in the appointment of "the man from the East" He knew him to be a firm friend of the country the South as well as the North and added that the people of the District would find him to be mindful of their interests. He also paid a high tribute to Henry Clay. $38,000 FOB A YEARLING. I O. Appleby's Sensational Purchase at Hag. gin's Sale of Thoroughbreds. Phi!sdlphia Kecord.

Tbe fence make! any taking of bearings across the Circli impossible, and tbe stranger, after few paces loses all idea as to wben be half or a quarter or all of the way around. TLcircnlar walk destroys every sense of directionJ and tbe stranger is as likely as not to make th whole eircnit, and start back down tbe street from which he had just emerged.
