A HURRAH FOR HARRISON.
The Lincoln League of Danville Con-
graduates the President Elect.


INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. S.-Except for a
short walk yesterday and this morning,
Gen. Harrison has not left his residence
since he voted Tuesday. Just before dark
train load of enthusiasts came in from
Danville. They were mostly members
of the first Lincoln League
Club organized in the state.
The club hurried in as soon as the result
was announced, in order that they might be
the first to congratulate the next President.
A great many ladies braved the weather to
come with them. AS the long procession
filed through the streets the already excited
populace went wild.
BIG HURRAH.
The recognition of the Danville friends
by Indianapolis was followed by an ex-
Inhibition OF brotherly affection. With
flags flying, men pushing, singing and
shouting, drums, tin horns, bras bands
and cannon, all uniting to make an indie
scribable medley, the Harrison residence
was reached. The spokesman of the dele
CATION, Hon. John j. Hall, said
that all they wanted was to tender
their congratulations and that no speech
would be asked and the general accom-
panied him to the front steps. For time
each member Of the club made supreme
endeavors to convey his individual congrat-
ulations, but finally quiet was restored and
Mr.. Hall delivereda coDgratulatory address
saying that the people after four years Of
search had found The keystone whose los,
has threatened the destruction OF the whole
fabric Of government, and now which is
perfect and the people arc saved. Gen.
Harrison shook hands with the few who
insisted, then bade them good night and
retired,

President Arthur, canned salmon.

The Indians Bark Canoe.

The bark canoe is the Indians chef

his life II is the most natural boat in
the world; to make it no peels the bark
from birch, splits cedar for timbers

ness. for every piece tells the exact truth
of bis hand and eye; not even bench
removes him from the earth, nor roof
covers him from the sky; no kneels at his
work. And the women embody their at
tachment in the pitch they press into the
cracks. 1t is natures model, made by the
wild man in the woods. The life Of the
bari; canoe is equally poetic; it floats
through mountain lakes with the beaver
and runs rapids with the otter; indeed,
all its companions are creatures OF the
forest; it is faithful to nature TO the very
last when it retires to the shore of some
lonely pond to mold under its mound Of
feathery moss.-C. H. Farnham in har-

How Policemen Wear Gloves.

Did the man who notices everything in
the busy life around him ever take heed
to the fashion of the police force in the
matter OF wearing gloves! On Broadway,
down town, where the tall. stalwart Of
icer guides unprotected females through
the labyrinth of endless lines of trucks,
horse cars and drays OF all kinds, his
hands are neatly encased in a pair Of
white, cl~ely fitting gloves At the end
of the day their original color is some
times not apparent, but he wears them
both.
On the avenue, where his duty consists
of walking up and down. up and down in
q monotonous manner, the policeman fol
lows the fashion of the swells that parade
before him. One glove only is worn, and
that on the left hand, which clasps ten
derry the other neatly folded white bit of
cotton, while his right hand is tree TO
swing nonchalantly his club.
In the business portions OF the city the
presiding genius in blue discards gloves
as Il rule, and his hands are free to grapple
with any obstreperous member Of the ex-
changes who may feel particularly happy.
But he possesses gloves, you know that,
for you sec them just protruding above
his breast pocket.
And down where the outcast portion of
humanity exists, the strong, muscular
guardian of the law walks about bare
handed, for the men with whom he comes
in contact scarcely know what gloves are.
But there is an exception to the general
rule--a new man ON the force always
wears both gloves until he finds out the
fashion of his district and accommodates
himself accordingly New York Evening

Parliament has adjourned with prom.
ises as TO what /. will do the next
time. The two measures of Importance
passed were the local government bill for
England and Wales and the Parnell in

only hill to get the Tory organ, the
Times, "out of a hole" and to make po-
litical capital for the Tories at the ex-
pense of Ireland. In word, whole
session of Parliament has been wasted
upon the inanilies OF Smith and the per

American View of English Manners.

No class in the world, probably, is
Judged so little on its merits as the Eng
lish upper class At homo it casts a
glamour on mems eyes, glamour so great
that Mr.. Darwin absolutely believed it
physically superior TO other classes, al
though another social observer, Mr.. Ed
ward Jenkins, made, few years since,
the remark why noble earls should
be so ugly is a problem of nat
ure,' and this strikes the Ameri-
can visitor to the house of lords as
being nearer the truth. So great is, a.
any rate, their lingering prestige among
Liberals, that leading London reformer

inarticulate lord, who had nothing to say

A class thus situated cannot be judged
by what is said about it in its own nome;
and when it is transplanted it is apt to
drift among a class of similar admirers
abroad. No doubt there are nOblemen IN
England whose manners a critical Ameri-
