BETWEEN TWO ADMINISTRATIONS.
President Harrison's Baggage Moved in
while He was Away.

Inside the White House the scene and the
atmosphere was not perceptibly changed, ex-
| cept that the folks at the windows did not
seem to take a much interest in the
outside proceedings az before, and
chatted socially among themselves. The
| carriages had hardly left the drive
way before heavy rumble was heard
and q great express wagon, loaded with
| trunks and boxes, drove up to the
door and backed partially around, The driver
leisurely descended and, aided by some of the
the house servants. began to unload the wagon
and carry the boxes and trunks into the
mansion These contained the personal
effects Of the incoming President and his
family, and this was the nrst act indicating the
change of tenants.
FLORAL TRIBUTES
Several handsome floral pieces stood in the
east room, gifts from admiring friends to the
new President and his wife. Among them was
a magnificent five-leaf clover, presented by the
s:ssi sa' -s q. r the ss q LARGE
ladies of the Columbia club, Of Terre Haute.
Ind an elegant basket Of flowers Of immense
size came from Mr.. J. F. Twombly, of Boston,
who has made floral presents to the two former
mistresses Of the White House at the time Of
their entrance.
THE MARCH TO THE CAPITOL.
fhe Scene Along the Route Of the
Procession.
The scene on the Avenue as the Presiden-
tial party and the escort journeyed to the capitol
was animated and in spite Of the weather had
many impressive features. It il true that much
of the glory Of the bunting had departed and il
hung limp and nabby from the buildings
and the stands. There was moisture and damp

grand avenue lined from end 70 end
with . great throng Of people, there was the
procession Of vell-driled and well-squippsd
soldiers, and there was also the enfhu-
siastic greeting which arose In deafening
shouts and continuous roll Of applause as the
procession swept on. The police arrangements
were highly successful, and the entire
roadway Of the broad Avenue was kept
clear for the soldiers. For the first time In the

down. The third artillery band and the
third artillery passed by; field batteries
rumbled along: the Marine band
discoursed it's most inspiriting music:
and the naval brigade tramped steadily by. but
the sodden display had no effect upon the wait
ing thousands. Suddenly a cheer arose and
spread until the great multitude roared az one
man. The cheers were for Gen. Beaver, the
one-legged and fine-looking governor Of Penn
sylvania, the chief marshal of the parade.
Hat in hand the general rode along, and in his
smiling face there was no evidence that he was
aware of the fact that the rain was sweeping
down On bis head and trickling therefrom down
the back OF his neck. The generals aids fol-
lowed. and then the great cheering was renewed
with redoubled force.

ia yet to be reelected or succeeded by another;
the handsome Sabin, Of Minnesota, retired. and
A. d. Washburn took his seat. Edward Wolcott
took the seat made vacant moment before by
Senator Bowen.
The entrances to the Senate wing Of the cap
toll were so guarded this morning that no
crowding attended the filling up of the galleries
and the chamber. The corridors were kept
clear all the while. The crowd was out in the
rain. So difficult was it to pass the gates that
stood guarded between the two houses that
members and their wives could not pass in
many instances. This caused o denunciation
on the floor Of the House. But the effect of it
was that the people were seated COM
fortably. 1t was eleven o'clock before the
Senate chambers began TO look filled UP.
Just at II o'clock the galleries and the Sena-
ators and guests assembled on the floor burst
out In loud applause. James G. Blaine had ap-
peared in the door leading from the lobby.
Senator Hale offered his arm and led the distin-
guished statesman to the seat which Mr.. Hale
usually occupies. Senator Stewart sat at his
left and ct once entered into conversation
with him. Senator Hale took chair in the
aisle at his right, between him and Payne, of
Ohio. At Paynes left sat Mr.. Noble, the future
Secretary Of Interior; then Sherman, and next
to him Mr.. Window, to be Secretary of Treas
ury. Each OF these future members of the cab
met were received with loud applause, which
Mr.. ingalls, promptly rebuked.

SAYING FAREwELLs.

Upstairs the cabinet officers were making
their farewell tour of the offices. They chatted
together in the cabinet room and moved in and
out of the Presidents Office. The clerks and
their friends were looking out of the windows
at the falling rain, the waiting veterans. the
mass Of damp spectators out across the lawn,
ana listening to the almost constant blare
of horns and roll of drums. Among the
Ioungers in the large waiting room upstairs
was Gen. Swain, who was making himself
quite at home. Meanwhile the two carriages
that had brought the new presidential party
mad found company in half a dozen coaches
that had entered and taken place in line be-

BcethOven's Practical Joke.

The New York SMt calls TO mind the
practical joke the great composer Beeth-
oven played one evening on his old
friend and master, Joseph Haydn, the
famous wheelwright's son, who became
in 1860 the Kapel- meister of Prince n.
EsterhaZy. II have Just composed an
aria, =" said Beethoven 10 Haydn, in the
presence of many princcly ladies and gen
tlemen, land wonder if yOu would be
able yourself to play it at first sight
without Stopping Haydn was some
what provoked at such an intimation from
his fayorite pupil, and proceeded at once
to play the aria, which at first proved to
be as easy rs a beginners exercise. But
suddenly he came to point when, every
one of his ten fingers being at once en-
gagged on both ends OF the keyboard,
there still remained one note to be struck
right in the middle OF it, Prince Ester
hays kape-Ineister became as pale as II
sheet, and to the stupelaction of the
lockers on, abruptly left the piano, NUT
teriug some unintelligible but undoubt-
edly sulphurious German imprecation.
Beethoven did not mind it bit, but sat
down ut the instrument, played the aria
with the utmost brilliancy, and when he
came to the perplexing point, coolly
struck the awkward middle note with hIs
nose, amid the plaudits and bursts of
laughter of the Prince and his friends, in
which Haydn himself could not help
joining heartily.

Pathetic Story of Dumb Mother.

One OF the most pathetic stories of the
dumb is that told of the Countess of Ork-
ney who was married in 1853 by signs,
Shortly after the birth of her first child,
the nurse, with considerable astonish-
mcgt, saw the mother cautiously approach
the cradle in which the infant was sleep
ing. The Countess was evidently full of
some deep design. Having assured her
self that the child really slept, she took
q large stone which she had hidden un-
Ter her shawl, and, to the horror of the
nurse-who was fully impressed with an
idea of the peculiar cunning and malig-
uity of dummies" it with an
intention TO fling it down vehemently.
Before the nurse could interpose, the
Countess had flung the stone not at the
child, but on the door, where it made a
great noise. The child Immediately
awoke aud cried The Countess, who
had looked with maternal eagerness for
the result of her experiment, fell upon
her knees in a transport of joy She had
discovered tina; the child possessed the
sense wanting in herseh.zS0aes .. Week.

Voting by Electricity.

The plan Of voting in assemblies by
means OF the electric current, and thus
avoiding the time lost in making diyi-
sions, has been before the French Cham
Der Of Deputies, and a report on the sub
iect was presented by NJ. Moutant In
that report the advisability of employ
ing q machine which would indicate not
only the total votes pour or "contre" a
mea5ure-that is to say the "ayes' and
"noes but also the number Of volun-
tary abstentions from voting, as distinct
from the number of absentces. such an
apparatus has been devised by NJ. lie
Goaziou On every desk in front of a
member is placed % small box fitted with
two handles, which the member works
when registering his vote The right
handle registers his aye, the left his
mo, aud both moved simultaneously
indicate his abstention from voting The
results are printed by means OF electro
magnets in q receiver, and are visible at a
glance. Provision is made for @ member
90 recall and correct his vote during the
time allowed tor the PURPOSE. ----
