rwRrTTEN FOR THE prsPArcH.,

President Harrison, as he approaches the
close of his four years term, has become
much better known to the country, although
he is SO reserved and saws so little about
himself that it is more from his friends
and associates that one obtains complete
knowledge of his character. saw him the
other day in Washington, and am sure
both his friends and his enemies would have
respected his attitude regarding the Mime
spolis nomination. He appeared to occupy
6 very dispassionate position. He said
that he had no mortgage himself upon the
place. He was thankful for the confidence
Of the people, and was willing to abide by
their decision. l shall quote only one
sentence of the Presidents conversation:
'If the nomination comes to me-" said he,
there will be no dust on NV knees"
will simply give picture of the Presi-
dent as he sat at his desk, going through
his morning mail. He bears lightly his SO
years. de will have reached the limit of
three score with the close of his four years
term. He is Of medium height and quite
stout. His weight is in the neighborhood of
$50 pounds; the shortness of his neck gives
him the appearance of not being as tall as
he really is His actual height is feet z.

Mr.. Blaine is not what would be called a
professional story teller. He is not fond OF
long stories he is always pleased with
the dry New England humor and prefers q
| thrust of wit to the broader touch Of humor
itself What he has to tell is done in Q
dramatic and striking way, SO that the full
value of the story is obtained. Mr.. Blaine
is natural born actor. By this mean
that he has the artistic and dramatic quail
ity in excess Even the most simple acts
with him have, at times, faint suspicion
Of theatrical touch.
He has always had great liking for the
newspaper profession. When he was in the
Cabinet with President Garfield he was
very communicative to the newspapers
There was no one in public life who under
stood better the value of newspaper publica-
tion, or who knew better the proper time to
make such publication. When he has had
anything of Importance to give out he has
always selected the press agencies Those
who notice the dates of these will observe
that they are nearly always sent out Sum
day nights so as to appear in tho morning
papers when there is generally less printed
to distract the attention Of the public

Whenever in those days he used to give
anything to the special correspondents, he
would write out himself the dispatch, Then

Mother Who Lay Dying.

Devotion Of an Express Messeng.r to Hi
Mother Who Lay Dying.
In the terrible calamity that visited Oil
City June 5, hundreds of instances of per
sonal bravery and self-sacrifce are cited.
John O. Leary, an express messenger, the
only child and sole support of his widowed
mother, was found kneeling beside hi.
mothers bed, both burned almost beyond
recognition. She had been an invalid fol-
some time, and could not be moved. Her
son, though implored by the rescuers to
save himself while there was yet time, pre-
ferred death to leaving his mother die alone.
Mr.. o. Leary was to have been married
about the last of June. It is needless to
say that mother and son were devoted to
each other, and both were most exemplary
Christian characters The following verses.
entitled "Filial Love in Oil CITY," are
from Mrs. M. E Thropp-Cone:
Escape, my son. my precious son, oh haste.
thou must awayi
Thy mothers useless life is spent, with her
thou can'st not stay.
Oh, had Thought in deaths dark hour to
know that thou vert nigh
To cheer me on the dreaded road that lead
eth to the sky.
But flood and fame are round us now; can
not move, my son,
But thou must live, for thou art young; faro
we'll, my only one.
He kissed with tenderest love her lips. ca
ressed her silver hair,
Then knelt beside his mothers bed and
yielded life in prayer,
Whilst other men, heroic souls, fought
Death for lives that morn,
Relentless Death, who rode DER all, triumph
ant through the storm.
Oh, they have shown, for others lives what
men will dare and do;
We kneel in reverence round their biers,
the tender, brave and true.

Justly Of Mr. Harrison that he has never
used the patronage of his place to advance
his own personal fortune
The President possesses one of those rare
characters which improves upon acquaint-
ance. He is always animated BY desire to
do right. In fact, the environments which
surround Q President are so overwhelming
in their power it would take a very bad or
weak man to 60 far astray in that Office. 1t
has been said of the executive Office that its
responsibilities and requirements would lift
bad man to the plane of the good; then,
to what an extent must its surroundings
support and strengthen man who came to
1t with such high notions IS the President?
What Democrats Say of Harrison.
During recent visit to Washington I
asked one of the leading Democratic Senators
what would be the line of criticism on the
part OF Democrats on this administration in
the coming campaign. He said frankly that
he would have to criticise more the party
which the President represented than the
President himself He said that he would
be willing to concede his honor, his up
rightness and his good intentions, that he
did not believe any man would be permitted
to be better than his party and then he
proceeded with great detail and categorical
clearness to give me the Democratic list of
crimes chargeable to the unfortunate Re-
publican party. l give this illustration

CHAPTER Y.

CHAPTER v.
JOAN.
Mrs. Clyde coldIy withdrew her hand
from her daughters impassioned clasp.
''Do not be absurd and theatrical, Mir
iam," she said, repressively. "Keep faith
with Sir James, indeedl What ridiculous
speech from your lipsP'
''You know what mean, mother; Sir
James is, believe, a great deal too good
for me, but meant would not willingly
make him unhappy"
"Make him unhappy? May I ask what
you mean?"
81 think it would make him unhappy if
our engagement were broken off," said
Miriam, with some courage.
"Your engagement broken OFF, re-
peated Mrs Clyde, in strong indignation,
and for once the even tones of her voice
were raised. "You must be mad, Miriam,
even to name such thing"
"Yet, engagements sometimes are broken
off, mother" said Miriam, and as she spoke
she raised her dark eyes to her mothers
face, and for the first time in her life as she
did so Mrs Clyde realized that she had to
deal with different and stronger nature
than her daughter Joan's. Hitherto Miriam
had always been very obedient and sub
missive to her mothers wishes; therefore,
to Mrs. Clyde's mind her refusal to be mar
ried on the day Mrs. Clyde had fixed on,
seemed something very like rank rebellion,
which must be quelled and ignored accord
ingly.
She was silent for moment or two, and
in that moment OF two she made up her
mind how to act.
"My DEAR" she said, resuming her usual
placid but firm manner when anything
serious was under discussion, ''it seems to
me that this conversation is a very un-
necessary and Improbable one. Do you
imagine for q moment that either your
father or myself would allow an honorable
man like Sir James MacKennon to be
treated with discourtesy and dis
respect7 You accepted him will
ingly as your future husband, and
the day Of your marriage has been decided on
by your father and mother and your future
husband, and to alter it, or postpone it, is
impossible, as it would be an insult to Sir

| dear, on the day have named; and il now
| only remains to discuss the arrangement of
your trousseau. Your father, as told you,
| will give me e100, and 1 suggestS as Sir
/ james is a rich man, that we should not buy
| many things, but that what we do buy
should be very good. Do you think this
too, Miriam?"
Miriam did not speak. She knew shs
might as well try to bend granite rock a.
her mothers will. but all the same she
determined not to be married in month.
II will ask Sir James to put it off," she
thought, and she had great faith in Sir
James. She indeed respected his character
she might, perhaps, have loved him-but
not now.
"We must arrange to 60 up town to spend
our e100," continued Mrs. Clyde, pleasant
ly. sit is not so much, but you will not
want much; expect Sir James will be very
generous about pin money, etc"
81 think his nature is generous" said
Miriam.
II am sure it is; you are a lucky girl, in
deed, to have won such man! He is not
only all one can wish as to character, but
his position and fortune are both so desir-
able. Well, we must invite Joan and her
husband to the wedding in time. Joan
made good match also, but not equal to
yours"
Again Miriam was silent. No one knew
better than she did the result of "Joan's
good MATCH" no one knew better the secrets
of her brother-in-law' household. There
was skeleton hidden away under General
Conray's roofs skeleton hidden, yet ever
present to the heart of the young wife. To
do Mrs Clyde Justice she did not know
this; she merely thought Joan was foolish
young woman not to look perfectly happy
and content with the fate she had provided
for her.
81 will write to Joan to-day, think, and
tell her it is all settled about your mar
riage," presently said Mrs. Clyde. ST was
SO pleased Colonel Lowrey liked Sir James
SO much. Colonel Lowrey is shrewd man
acute and shrewd-and am glad he at
once formed such good opinion OF Sir
James"
They seemed to get on very well to-
gether," answered Miriam.
'Oh, the Colonel was quite charmed with
Sir James, and so pleased that you will
have such good husband. Well, my dear,
