COPENHAGEN ATTRACTIONS.
Its Spaciousness and Dignity and Its Nu-
merous Beautiful Women.

/
merous Beautiful Women.
Copenhagen IS fine city-the fin.
est, as patriotic Dane declared, of
the second rank capitals Of Europe.
The "Kongens Nytory" (the kings
new market) is a great square as
large, I should think, as the Place
dc Ia Concorde in Paris, not SO beau
tiful, though, but still very fine in
its way. Its principal building is
the Royal theater, its principal
adornment an equestrian statue of q
Danish king trampling down evil.
The Swedes have notion that there
is something personal implied in this
statuary, which seems to have been
put up at time when Denmark and
Sweden were quarreling. So one
time the Swedish colony in Copen-
hagen rose in its might, overturned
tho statue, twisted it numerically,
and tho astonished Danes had to
mako good tho damage. But they
are peaceful folk enough now, Swedes
and Danes, and the little kingdom
is perhaps better off than its bigger
neighbor on the north. And the lit
tie kingdom has capital that even
a mightior country might be proud
of. To the Danes Copenhagen is the
next thing to paradise. It is a1naz-
ing what patriotic race they are
and over were. Think how in time
past they conquered Britain and
overran Europe! Nowadays they re-
main contentedly tucked away here
up on the edge of things. They sigh
not for conquest, they yearn not for
riches and glory, but they say of
themselves, and it is said of them,
that they are the most confronted
people in the old world. That being
the case, it follows as a matter Of
course that they are conservative.
They are not consumed with q pas
sion for change; they are a thrifty
people and delightfully."-, genuinely
polite.
Their capital, Copenhagen, is a
spacious city. Some 500, 900 persons
inhabit it. They keep it we'll, they
mako it bright, attractive, and they
have a pride in it which justifes un-
Outstanding.
Spaciousness and dignity-these
are the characteristics of Copenha-
gen. The city is laid out as gener-
ously as If its projectors thought
they had the whole of the northern
part of the hemisphere to build on.
Wide streets, big squares, broad and
handsome bridges, thoroughfares
we'll lighted, smooth as billiard ia
bles, clean as the Paris avenues used
to be, attractive shops and old fash
toned tram cars, monster omnibuses,
poor looking horsehesh, good look
ing humanity, magnificent dogs, q
general aspect of orderliness, an ef-
feet of modest prosperity and an easy
going way, IS # time dtsturbs not
Denmark by his march-these are
characteristics Of Copenhagen.
You see more pretty women dur
ing half an hours walk in Copenha-
gen than in any other city that !
know Of except New York, Balti-
more and London, Junoesque blends,
blue eyed and with compilations
which would make seashell en-
vious; hair like spun gold, spun by
fairies and in which the sunlight
dances eager to outshine tho rival

reputation as lovers of their father

Daily Rusc of MIR. johnson.

Artists are having a little quiet fun at
the expense of Eastman Johnson, who Is
painting Gen. HarrisOn's portrait for the
white house, says the New York Press.
They say that twice the general has ar
rived at the studio in no happy frame of
mind, and something had to be done to
make him smile and look pleasant. The
following conversation is reported:
Mr.. Johnson linking his paints: Gen
eral, you seem tired this morning.
trust you are quite well.
Gen. Harrison Curling himself up in
the bottom of an old leather chair: l do
not feel as wen as l should, Mr. Johnson.
Yet, l suppose you can make amends for
my expressions to-day.
Mr.. Johnson (still miXing): What of the
political situation, general?
Gen. Harrison Growning); would rather
not discuss that, Mr. Johnson. 1t would
not add to my pleased expression.
Mr.. Johnson Just the reverse, general,
| should think to-day. / met MIR. Reed
last night and heard him say that he was
out of the fight. In fact. he said he would
retire in your favor. ! know that Gov,
Morton really has no serious intention of

know his every move.
Gen. Harrison beginning to look pleas
anti; And the maior-what does he in
tend to do, Mr.. Johnson?
Mr.. Johnson Cmahl stick in position:
Throw all his following over 10 you. Nc
kinley knows-there, general, your ex-
preston is splendid. Same as yesterday.
Can yau keep IL up like that? Mckinley
told me-ah, general, you never looked
better. CPaintingO Mckinley told-me-

sides, there is the positive statement of

tomer, as | am is generally made a cor
tidant | expect / know more political
secrets than you do. l think-there, gem
eral, little pleasanter, please. Platt-you
man is with you-Splendid Your express
sion never was finer, general. l know we
both shall be satisfied with this portrait.
Half an hour later, when the express
dent has departed.-Mr johnson (solilo-
quizng): How am / going to keep this
thing up? l don't even know the names
of the other candidates. and if l don't
use some new ones the general will catch
on. I'll go ask somebody.

There probably is not anything like pis-
tolls and coffee for two wrapped up in the
correspondence that has been passing be-
OF South Carolina. Gen Butler is a fight
er himself, as well as being the descendant
of a fighting family. But there may be
some doubt whether the governor would
fight, even if he could lay aside the re-
straining ethics of his Office long enough
to take a pop at his enemy. He comes
from lighting stock, it is true. and no
doubt has plenty of courage. but he has
trained so long with clan that makes
capital of being oppressed and insulted,
and downtrodden that it may be doubted
whether he would not regard it as had
policy TO fight. And it may be he has too
much good sense to do anything of the sort.
1t seems that Gen. Schofield has less
confidence in his newly launched presi-
Dental boom than about anybody on his
side of the silver question that has been
induced to talk about it. The general says
the boom was launched without his knowl-
edge or consent, and that he knows very
well that the American people care abso-
lutely nothing" about what his opinions
are with regard to the money question. He
asserts that he has never gwen any
thought to the question of running for the
presidency. That, however, does not
amount to anything. The main point for
the general to keep in view, If he does not
wish to get bad fail next fall. is that ''thc
American people care absolutely nothing
for his opinions on the subject That view
is not conducive to the. generals self
esteem, but it is his own expression. and il
followed viii save him lot Of money and
disappointment.

Some Things the MahOmetan Didn't
Know.

"Once in a suburb of Smyrna" said the
amateur traveller to the New York Tri-
bune, II boarded a tramcar to 20 back
to the city, and in the vehicle saw seated
a Mahometan wearing the green turban.
I never was quite able to find out what
the green turban signified. Some told me
that it signified that the wearer was a
descendant of the prophet and others
that it meant that the wearer had made
the pilgrimage to Mecca My dragoman
with the green turban. The priest looked
me over with the greatest interest, and
finally asked my dragoman If l was Eng
fish. When told that l was an American
he became all animated and at once be-
gan to talk to me, the dragoman acting
as interpreter.
"Ah, said he, II know about America.
The railroads all go In the air there.
l was at first rather puzzled to know what
he meant, but soon comprehended and
then explained to him that it was only
in New York that the railroads went in
the air. l could see that he did not be-
lieve me, but was too polite to say so.
He then surprised me by asking: How are
you getting along with the canal you are
digging across the country?' / again ex-
planned, trying to make him comprehend
that the lsthmus of Panama was not in
the United States; but of geography, in
telligent man as he was, he had not the
faintes idea. He had heard of the Column
bian Exposition, but he asked me If Amer
lea was as far away as England, and
seemed a little hazy as to whether Column
bus was still alive or not"
