Says q dispatch to to-day's Philadelphia
Press: There is probably no more genial,
composed and unaffected man in Washing
ton tonight than Rev. DR.. John W. Scott,
toward whom the flying train is bearing
one of his well-beloved daughters to take
her place as first lady of the land. He has
been taking several days vacation from his
Office desk to dispose of an accumulation
Of correspondence which the friends and
. acquaintance of a lifetime are heaping
upon him since the Presidential lightning
struck his daughters household.
He dined out with friends, but was sit
ting in the private pnrlor of his suite In
his lodgings on Twelfth street this evening
when your correspondent called, and with
him was his granddaughter, Mrs. Parker,
and her husband, Lieutenant John f.
Parker, U. y. N, who arrived two weeks
ago from his ship, the Adams, which was
TIL recently on the Samoan coast, and has
been conspiouousin some Of the very stir
ring movements there. Mrs Lord, Mrs.
Parker's mother, and Mrs. Harrison's only
surviving sister, is member of the Presi-
dental travelling party so eagerly expected
here tomorrow.
MT. ScOtt Will not meet Gcneral liar
rison and his daughters at the train, but
will call with Lieutenant and Mira. Parker
| Immediately after their arrival at the Ar
| lington. Mrs. Harrison writes that his
chamber in the White House is selected for
| him in her minds eye and that he is to be
| an integral part OF her family circle there.
| Nothing of elation betrays itself in the
| kindly face of the young-hearted old man.
The fear that Mrs. Harrison may insist on
! his giving up the endeared labor of his later
| years for the Government is the only thing
| that he has to disturb his serenity He feels
| the need of regular mental employment
| after the active life Of n college professor
| and president. DIR. Scott is much interested
| in the opening of the Church of the Cove
| nant for divine service, and was present In
| his pew yesterday morning at the opening
| service, with his granddaughter and her
| husband.
Mrs. Parker looks strikipgly as her aunt,
| Mrs. Harrison, did at her age, and will be
| one Of the cultured and attractive young
women of the Presidents immediate home
| circle. Her illustrated article on Samoa In
| the Cosmopolitan Magazine for Noyem-
Der last bears testimony to her vigorous
| descriptive talent, and was made up In part
from the graphic letters her husband wrote
| her from on board his ship.
| Lieutenant Parker, who is naturally much
| enyied Just now by his naval brethren, Is a
modest, courtly young officer, native OF
| Piqua, Ohio, and graduate of the Ohio
| Wesleyan University at Delaware, Ohio, In
| the class of 1870, the class of Governor
| Foraker of that State.

THE TEXAN WATCHDOG.

There wns time when Holman of Indi-
ana was known far and wide as the great
objector of the House, but that day passed
and Holman became commonplace when
Colonel G. b. Kilgore of Texas took his
seat in the Fiftieth Congress. Colonel
Kilgore is q SPLENDID specimen of physical
manhood. lie stands nearly six feet and Is
built in proportion, tipping the beam at
about 200 pounds. He has q striking face
and his hair is white as snow. II grows
pompadour and makes him the most con
spicuous member ON the Democratic side Of
the House. He possesses q luxuriant mus
tachc and chin whiskers usually worn by
the typical Southron. Colonel Kilgore,
from the very start, attracted attention by
an objection to a private pension bill, and
he has kept up his record ever since. With
the exception of the day he accepted Sec
retary Whitncy's invitation to witness the
launching of the Yorktown and Vesuvius
he has not missed day in the House.
More Friday night sessions have amounted
to naugbt through a single objection by
him than any other man. At the same
time where bill has been explained
and it's merits made clear he
has never hesitated to withdraw his obiec-
tion, and, If need be, assist in its passage.
Mr.. Randall has come to regard Mr.. Kilgorc
as the only reliable Watchdog of the
Treasury, and when a night session occurs
Mr.. Randall will not hesitate to remain
away If feeling very tired when Colonel
Kilgore says, "I'll be on hand" More than
once. q trap has been set to catch the good
nntured Texan mapping, but 1t has failed
every time. Once or twice this session
they had him designated by the Speaker to
preside at several night sessions, but on
these occasions no bills were called up to
which he was strongly opposed. Not long
ago he received card from man claim
ing to be from Texas, who wanted him to
20 over to the Congressional Hotel and
drink some wine. 1t was ceverly put up
scheme, but IL didn't work worth cent.
Mr.. Randall and several other leading Dem
ocrats have frequently come to the aid of
Colonel Kilgore In opposition to legislation
that didn't have the appearance OF being
exactly what II should be- Colonel Kill
gore is the president of the p. F. o. n.
party, which is composed principally of tHc

STRANGE MARRIAGES.

Peter the Great married peasant, who
was his best counselor and truest friend.
NJ. de Lesseps married, at the age of 90,
Mile. de Braga, who was not quite 10 years
of age.
The wife of Jeremy Taylor, the great
English divine, was the natural daughter of

Shakespeare's MARI iage to Anne Halfway
was an example of inequality, both in age

Milton married unfortunately, and his
wife's temper was not like that Of Mrs,
Wesley's, the wife of John Wesley, the
founder of Methodism.
John Howard, the philanthropist, mar
ried, out of gratitude, lady twenty years
his senior. She died in few years, and he
married again, this time for love.
Lady Beacons6eld was thirty years older
than Dsraeli, but the great Premier did
not realize any difference in age, so re-
marlIably suited We're they to each other

the fact that Elizabeth Barrett was six
years older than himself at the time of
their marriage, she being 40 he "a years
Samuel johnson at q married woman
OF 4s They lived together twenty-five
years, and when she died johnson refused

George Eliot married Mr. Lewes, al
though his first wife was living and he had
but limited divorce from her. Soon after
Lewes died she married John Walter
Cross, who was much younger than she
was.
Baroness Burdett-Coutts forfeited her
interest in Coutts' Bank by marrying VIII
liam Ashmead Bartlett, lie is an Ameri-
can by birth and at the time of his mar
riage was 81 years of age and his bride was
81, and the richest woman IN the world.
A most unequal marriage which turned
out happily, was that of Charles, second
Duke of Richmond, and Sarah Cadoean,

bride 10.
A marriage unequal rs to years, was

ABOUT WOMEN.

The dress that Mrs. Harrison will prob
ably wear at the Inauguration is Of pearl
white brocade, made with a long train, the
front of which is Of almost solid gold en-
broidery. The corsage opens little at the
throat and shows full ruche of real old
point lace. The sleeves reach the elbow.
A marriage almost unique in It's character
WINS lately celebrated in England between
the Earl Of Lisburne and Miss Eva Probyn.
The lady is the sister of Alice, Countess Of
Lisburne-'the wife Of the late Earl The
sister Of the late Colonel Fred. Burnaby Of
the Royal Horse Guards, and the present
Lord Lisburne is their only son. There are
very few instances, indeed, of father and
son marrying two sisters. The two count
esses of Lisburne are the daughters Of
Edmund Probyn of Huntley Manor, near
Gloucester Lord Lisburne is an Irish
peer and head of the Vaughan family.
Lawyer Nirabeau Lycurgus Towns
pleaded the other day in the City Court of
Brooklyn for exemplary damages for his
client, Mrs. Wilhelmina Goepel, whose
knee had been broken In an accident on
the Long Island Railroad, In his perora-

up the qualities of our French middlo-class
woman, | shosld say that she is religious,
and even has tendency to be superstitious
that she is strictly moral and even u trlilc
austere; devoted to worldly gains, a good
manager, splendidly faithful to her duties
as mother, though obeying rather blindly
traditionan habit in preference to her own
lights finally, ignorant in political matters
"a defect which could easily be over

in her dealings; an earnest patriot; In a
word, superior 10 her husband"

American Influences Abroad.
From the Sprjnpfield RepublicanA

(From the Springfield Republican,)
Let lis put two and two together. Joseph
Chamberlain has an American bride. Gen
eral Boulanger was once charmed by a
young woman whose home is in st. Louis,
and rumor has 1t that his motive in seeking
a divorce is to secure an American bride.
Mr.. Chamberlain said, while in Scotland
the other day, that the common school sys-
tenn is the glory Of the United States, and
he suggested free schools for Ireland. Gen
eral Boulanger has within week spoken in
the highest terms Of ''that splendid fabric,
the American Constitution He further
more says that he first learned the true
meaning of the word liberty in America
OF course any one is at liberty to draw con
clusions, and 1t seems TO us that General
Boulanger has been brought under the in
fluence of a fair American dictator, and
that Joseph Chamberlain has taken his first
lesson in home rule.

Notwithstanding the prosecution or per-
secution, or whatever it is, of General Dud-
ley at indianapolis, 1t is likely that Dudley
will be given good place under the incom-
ing Administration. In older to relieve
President Harrison of the embarrassment
OF nominating Dudley for II conspicuous
post like that of Commissioner of Pensions,
ii is thought probable that Postmaster-Gen-
eral Wanamaker will make him his First
Assistant. Wanamaker likes Dudley, and
is willing to defend him with his last dol

How the Loser Won.

Mr. Lipseomb, the aged hut confident
walker, did not start from New York for
Washington yesterday, as he had intended
to do in settlement of wager, He was
ready to start, but there was a clause in the
betting agreement which saved Lipscomb
from one of the coolest journeys ever
undertaken on foot, That little clause was
a Godsend. Walking on the Jersey roads
just now is said to be so very bad. 1t ap-
pears that by the agreement the winner of
the wager, Mr., Griilith Of Philadelphia, was
to ride in carriage along with the walking
visitor TO the scenes of the Inauguration.
1t Will be seen at once that the loser of the
wager got the better end of the bargain,
and that the man who won would have TO
endure the greater amount of cold wind So
Mr.. Griffith said he wouldn't accept the
chances of catching bad case of pneu-
monia just to see Mr.. Lipscomb "leg'' it
over to Washington, and the bet was de-
clnred settled in full
