Notwithstanding tina heavy rain and vio-
lent wind which prevailed all last evening.
there was large attendance of Patrons of
Husbandry, visiting grangers and invited
guests at the annual installation of the Off
GERS of Capital Grange, this city, according
to previous announcems The exercises
were in charge of the Worthy State Master
of the order, Hon. Frederick ROBBIE, who
performed the same IN a most appropriate
and acceptable manner. The following Off
GERS were installed Master, Charles J.

Chaplain, }. 5. Hobbs; steward,
Chas Sylvester; Treasurer, Columbus Cottle
Secretary, C. F. Fletcher; Asst. Steward

elected were not present and will be installed
subsequently. Following the exercises of
installation an admirs 'le speech of about
twenty minutes in length was delivered by
the State Master. in which he spoke of the
special and distinctive work Of the grange as
q farmers organization, and urged its ad-
vantages upon all present. and through them
upon the farmers of the State at large,
more of whom should avail themselves of its
membership to improve their intellectual,
social and business connections. His speech
was warmly spplsuded A short speech was
also made by r. W. Soule, Esq, after which
supper was announced and all repaired to the
dining room The tables were most boun-
teeusly supplied and there was enough to
spare after all had partaken to their full.
The lady members of the grange worked
hard to make this part of the ev-

well known reputation had suffered nothing

WASHINGTON, Jan S. owdermilk. the
famous second hand book man Of the capital
tells me he has bad a most extraordinary call
for Harrisoniana since the November election
There is not much literature concerning Gen
Ben iamin Harrison except that which is
conternporaneous, but In fragmentary form
there are many things of interest concerning
the career Of Gen. William Henry Harrison
These the collectors are now seeking with
such eagerness tina, everything pertaining to
Harrison the First-oid books. pamphlets, let

deal Of this eagerness for liarrisoniana comes
from the Harrisons, not the Harrisons who
are to occupy the White House. hut the fIar
risons who by hundreds and thousands are
scattered all over the country, particularly
In the southern states. Every old publication
bearing on the genealogy Of the Harrison
family finds ready purchaser, for 1t seems
all the llarrisons are trying to establish re
lationship, no matter how distant, with the
chief of their clan. Their purpose i'll this. it
need not be said is by no means n selfish one,
for it Is one Of the most common and endur-
ing traits of human nature, this desire TO
know how close relationship one may bear to

Harrisons to whom Gen. Harrison is remotely
related form one of the most numerous of all
the large families in this country whose line

Mr. Lowdermlk showed me a couple OF
volumes entitled Legacy Of Historical
Gleanings," largely composed OF letters
written by or to Gen Sol Van Rensselaer,,
OF Albany, n Y, from 1872 to 1852. OF
these books MANY copies have lately been
sold. because they contain numerous letters
from and about Gen William Henry Harri-
son Il have SOLD two dozen sets Of these
legacies, sid the dealer aud could sell a

volumes is an admirable portrait Of Gen
Harrison, and this is highly valued
In looking over these volumes was struck
with the Incidental pictures Of the times Of
William Henry Harrison which they present
Most conspicuous OF all is the office seeking

politics even in those days As one catches
