CLEVELAND, May 29.-President Har-
rison arrived this afternoon and received
a salute Of twenty-one guns. The city is
handsomely decorated and thousands of
people are in the streets. The first city
troop of horse escorted the president to
the residence of Dan P. Fells. the vice
president and cabinet going to other
private houses.
An enormous crowd was at the depot
and followed the party through the
streets. The enthusiasm was intense,
the shouting at times even drowning ont
the noise of the guns from the men o.
war firing the presidential salute. The
first person to greet President Harrison at
the depot was ex-President Hayes. AT
ter the president had stopped at Mr..
Felrs house, the Others of the party from
Washington were escorted to different
residences. at which they will stop. Gen.
Sherman arrived this afternoon and is the
guest OF his nephew. Henry Sherman.
Tonight the president was rendered a
public reception at the Siillmau hous,, at
which there was an awful crush. The
exercises at the Garfcl1 memorial begin
at 3 o'clock tomorrow.

One of the most amusing fights that
ever occurred in this neck of woods, and
which was witnessed by two hunters,
took place on the Warrior river between
a blacksnake and a mud turtle. What
the casus bellum was is not known, but
the snake had wound itself around the
turtle, and was trying to make some i'm
preston on its back with its fangs.
The turtle took things good naturally,
seemingly, and every once in a while
would poke out his head to see if the
snake was looking. II the snakes head
was too close the turtle would draw him.
self back into the shell. and if the head
was far enough away the turtle would
seize his antagonist, and when the snake,
mad with pain, tried 10 revenge himself,
the turtle would go back in his shell.
This strange warfare was kept up for
several hours, when the turtle succeeded
in getting his antagonist by the throat
and nearly severed the head from the
body. Then, with the snake still wrap
ped around it, the turtle reached the
water aud the dead snake fioated off an
the surface. The turtle had been vic
rious..-Birmingham (Ala.) Cor. st.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The house
committee on public lands reported back
the senate bill, with amendments, for a
general forfeiture OF land grants. Ordered
recommitted.
The senate bill passed for the relief of
the widow of Rear Admiral David Nc
Dougall.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on public buildings.
Thee was a lively tilt on the question
OF public building bills, brought out by
the bill tor a public building at Bar Har-
Dor, Me, to cost SIS, 900.
Mills had asked what the recommended
ton OF the committee was, and Milliken
replied that two Republican bills would
be called NJ. and her one Democratic
bill. Mills thought this unfair and that
the committee should alternate between
the two sides.
Allen declared that the whole system
was vicious and that politics should have
nothing to do with the question.
The committee finally rose. The aeri-
cultural bill was reported and the house
adjourned until Monday.

A very favorable account is given in
the French papers of the new system of
building houses of iron and steel plates,
introduced into France by NJ. Danly,
manager of the Societe des FORCES de
Cha~teleneau, who has set forth its vari-
Gus advantages with much practical de
tail, attracting considerable attention to
the method. 1t has been satisfactorily
nscertained, it seems, that corrugated
sheets of such metal, of more than a
millimeter in thickness, are sufficiently
strong for building houses several stories
high, and the material, of course, allows
of a considerable variety of architectural
ornamentation.
The plates thus employed are of the
finest quality, and as they are galvanized
after having been cut to. .he sizes and
shapes required no portion isleft exposed
to the atmosphere. In addition to this
it is asserted that houses constructed in
such I'M are very sanitary, and that
all ventilation and heating arrangements
a readily be carried out. In England
this system Of building has found much
favor, the superiority of the new over
the old system consisting in the method
of c~orrugating and galvanizing the metal

The question of the improvement of
cookery among the poor classes is at
tracting great attention in Europe, where
its immense hygienic Importance is rec
ognized. The subject is one in which
medical men in this country also, skilled
as they are in the physiology of food and
accustomed to deal with the poor, both
in family life and in public institutions,
might give great aid. That which the
working classes greatly need is instruc-
ION in the art of braising. or slowly
stewing at a low heat, combinations of
meat scraps and of vegetables.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.
