Grudgiug Gifts.

Theuriet was at that time II clerk in
the civil service, attached To the regis.

ed not more than a couple of months
before, and was Just becoming used 10

he saw Louis Napoleon's placard one
morning announcing his dissolution
of the assembly and his appeal TO a
plebiscite. Beside it was posted circu.

youth like a blow, aud he hurried TO

leagues. They all agreed with him

an old soldier, marching up and down

Just at this moment the figure Of a

stored and work hurriedly taken up
again. Theuriet felt sure in his own
mind that il was he who was 10

WASHINGTON.
A Brief Synopsis of the Inauguration
Ceremonies.

WASHINGTON, March 4th, 1885,
'"The King is dead: Long live the
King" Today, for the second time
in the history of the country, DEM
ocratic President from the State of
New York is succeeded by a Harri-
son. 1t was just forty-eight years
ago that William Henry Harrison
succeeded Martin Van Buren,, a New
York Democrat, and today Benja-
min Harrison takes the place of
Grover Cleveland, a new York Dem
ocrat. Truly history repeats itself.
Inauguration day is the one day in
each four years that politics are laid
aside here and everybody joins in to
make the day successful one. To-
day they have been fairly successful
in spite of the fact that two days of
rain had given the decorations a
somewhat draggled appearance, but
what was lost in appearance was
made up by enthusiasm and tonight
most Of the people have gone to bed
tired if not happy.
AS every man who reads this has a
chance to be President, / propose to
present a synopsis Of the ceremonies
attendant upon the Inauguration of a
President, just as they were gone
through with today by President
Harrison and ex-President Cleve-
land, so that should it ever befall
the reader to be elected to that ele-
waited position he will know just
what he will have to go through.
The first thing this morning q com.
mittee of the Senate met Mr.. Cleve'
land and Gen. Harrison by appoint
ment, in parlor at Williards hotel,
whence they were escorted to the
Capitol by the survivors Of Gen. Har
rison'S old regiment. And right
here let me say that the appearance
of this old regiment was "a great dis
appointment to the people, as they
had formed their ideas from The
newspapers and expected to'sce .

BENJAMIN F. TRACY,
OF New YORK.

Benjamin Franklin Tracy, of
Brooklyn, New York, was born
about tifty-nine years ago in Tioga
County, that State. His early life
was passed first on a farm and after
ward in the study of law. In 1851 he
was admitted to the bar and three
years later was elected District
Attorney of Tioga County. He was
elected to the New York Assembly
and made chairman of the Railroad
Committee and also chairman of the
Sub. Committee of the Whole. While
serving in this capacity he was Il
leader in defeating one of the most
corrupt jobs that appeared during the
session of 1862. 1t was an attempt to
put surface railroad on Broadway,
New York City, After that the
House never disagreed with a report
that had Benjamin f. TraCy's APP
proval. On June %, 1862, Governor
Morgan requested Mr.. Tracy to raise
a regiment from the counties of
Broome, Tompkins and Tioga. He
raised two, the One Hundred and
Ninth and the One Hundred and
Seventh-got his commission and
was given command of the former.
When he resigned at the close of the
war he had attained the rank of
Brigadier-General. In 1866 he re-
ceived the appointment of United
States District Attorney for the
Eastern District of New York and
held the position until 1873, when
he resigned. He was of counsel in
the famous Beecher-Tilton suit, 1875.
In 1881 he was nominated by the Re-
publicans for Mayor of Brooklyn, but
withdrew in favor of Seth Low, who
was elected. He has been a candi-
date for Supreme Court Judge and for
District Attorney of Kings County.
General Tracy is man of fine pres
ence and address. He has always
been an earnest servant of his party
