Der of the flock, che Hon. Judson Har-
mon of Cincinnati. A thoroughly SYM
pathetic study OF Mr. Harmon's amenities
and graces was published as syndicate
article in number of newspapers, last
Sunday. 1t reveals the attorney general,
already known to the country as pie eater
of the correct school. as an adept In many
other elegancies of life and manners. BY
happy comparison the writer sets him
beside the faultless Mr.. Pelham.
Elegant, he writes, lis the word
deemed by Bulwer most applicable to his
Pelham. Elegant is the word most APP
plicable to Judson Harmon. He is
elegant, with an elegance surprising all
elegance He is as clean and sweet and
well groomed as load of hay But there
is not about him that evidence of atten
ton to detail which heralds the dandy.
Judson Harmon is too elegant gentle
man to be a dandy"

have never associated grace with the OK,
but we shall henceforth associate both the
OK and grace with the Pelham of the cabi-

Mr.. Harmon's clothes are "supremely
elegant" his linen is ''ever faultlrssly i'm
maculate," his scarf and wastcoats ARE
original in their purity he usually wears
black, and mot fleck of dust, never q
trace of crease mars the perfect lines of
his coat" Besides being as graceful as
an OK, he is as restful to look upon as
lawn studded with browsing deer -
His manners are "more than Chesterfield
ian, i" and his conversation is more than
fascinating" In short paragon. As
our author puts it, Mr.. Harmon is mas.
ter Of all the elegancies of existence. He
has valet. He reads French novels.
His nails are manicured to perfection, and
he puts on two shirts every day of his
life. " This is at least one shirt more a
day than one of his predecessors the Hon.
Augustus H. Garland of Hominy Hill,
ever deigned to don. What a contrast
between the simplicity of that Pan

the Ohio.
When the Hon. Judson Harmon has

his elegance must be exposed, what more
glorious results may we not expect.
Still, we tremble as to the effect of the
valet and the manicure upon the Populist
