The Tome OF GEN. HARRIsoY.-Thee emp
tiness of mere political fame is forcibly illus
trated by contrasting the enthusiasm manifest
ed not quite twelve years ago, throughout the
length and breadth of the land, for Gen. Harri-
son, then candidate for the Presidency, and
the following brief notice OF visit to his tomb.
at North Bend, by the editor of the Cincinnati
Nonpareil
"On a recent visit to the tomb of Harrison,
situated on one of the most beautiful sites in
the Western country. at North Bend, we were
panied at beholding the little attention be
slowed upon the ground covering the last
resting place of the old hero. The lot select.
ed, in which are deposited the remains of sold
Tippecanoe,' is inciosed around the base in u
circular form, with board fence. roughly white
washed. The long grass has all been trodden
down, shrubhery broken, trees cut, and even
the wooden door leading to the vault has been
defaced and mutlated, while the rough bricks
on each side of the mound have been loosened
and scattered over the groundfor yards around.
The earth on the mound has been ploughed
up, as though the hogs had been roofing there.
The tomb, and all the once beautiful and en-
chanting scenery, have lost all their interest,
and visit to the spot is now anything but plea
SAINT. Thus expressing ourselves, we only
echo the general feeling Of all who have visited
this burial place this spring."
