OLD TIPPECANOE IN BRONZE.

Statue of William Henry Harrison Unveiled in Cincinnati. On Decoration Day there was unveiled in Cincinnati an equestrian statue of the ninth President of the United States, William Henry Harrison. The movement for this memorial began five years ago with the organization of a Harrison memorial association, composed of some of the leading citizens of the Queen City. The association secured some funds by subscription, supplemented by a bill in the State Legislature authorizing a tax levy that warranted the expenditure of $25,000. The association was afterward merged into the Harrisbn statue commission, which carried the work to completion after much aggravating delay. The statue as it stands has cost about $28,000, but the extra amount has been provided for. The statue is the work of Rebisso of Cincinnati, w’ho designed the equestrian statue of Gen. Grant at Chicago and the McPherson statue at Washington. It is in bronze and represents the hero of Tippecanoe in the military ac-

coutrementa of the period in which his reputation as a fighter was made.

Prince Krapotkin, revolutionary exile and nihilist, leads a patriarchal existence among the Kentish laborers with whom he has made his home. He has a kindly, thoughtful, bearded face, a figure bent with the "literary stoop,” thin,-nervous hands, and the courtesy to be found only In the best class of Russian s6clety. The grandfather of the Rothschilds Is said to have owned scarcely a penny la 1800.
