RELATIVES OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT WHO BESIDE IN CINCINNATI AND VICINITY. General Harrison has a large number of rela- tives who reside in this locality, says the Cin- cinnati Enquirer, and most of them are well- known citizens. Russell Harrison, the only son of the general, has been a resident of Mon- tana until recently, and came east to help in his father’s campaign. The young man is on- gaged in cattle raising ina syndicate in Mon- tana with Stephen B. Elkins and ex-Senator Davis, of West Virginia. Elkins is a son-in-law “Then, again, those fearful reminiscences came with force to my mind, and I remem- bered all the circumstances as they were im- essed upon it fifteen years before.

The new President is well known by the old residents of College Hill, where he ‘attended school for several years. Hon. Milton Sayler, who formerly lived here and was in Congress from the first district, was a classmate of Gen. Harrison in Oxford university. His parents were quite wealthy. They had had him well educated, and had even sent him to the college at Odessa. But Nicolaus was a fanatic sectarian, and he soon assumed the role of leader among them. The chief belief of his sect was the renunciation of all earthly joys in order to secure immortal life in para- dise after death. Members of the sect, whether male or female, were strictly forbidden having anything to do with the opposite sex. “Wassilyi fled to Paris. He was an excel- lent type of a Russian. He had a tall. elastic figure, a regular manly physiogomy, with burn- ing, languishing eyes, and with a pale, waxen- like complexion. “He soon avoided ali contact with his countrymen.

Most of the skillful devices invented by men for doing fine work rapidly can be traced to nature, where for countless centuries they have been operating. The discoverer of each new appliance of mechanism might be shown that his idea was as old as the hills.

Stauffer in the Epoch, It is said that when Jacob Boehme, the fa- mous philosopher, was on his deathbed some of his pupils came to him to have an obscure passage in his writings explained before he died. After puzzling over it for ‘awhile he said: ‘My dear children, when I wrote this I understood its meaning, and no doubt the om- niscient God did. He may still remember it, but I have forgotten.” Klopstock, the German poet, was once vis- ited by some students from Gottingen to have the meaning of one of his stanzas explained, After reading the stanza he replied: T cannot recollect what I meant when I wrote it, but I remember that it was the finest thing I ever wrote, and you cannot do better than to devote your lives to the discovery of its meaning.” A comical sentence appeared in the program of aconcert given by M.

While e spirit was walking about the room under a dim light she wes clutched by one, and the other, striking a wertul light, revealed the form of the me- jum—supposed to be securely bound with sealed knots in acabinet. The facts were cer- tified in the Times. They were admitted.

This fiber, which may be divided into threads of silken fineness, extends the length ot the body of the tree, which grows without a branch from 10 to 15 feet high, and has a cir- cumference at the base of 214 to3 feet. In Central America, the fiber, with no preparation except drying, is used for shoestrings, lariate, and cords for all purposes. In ite twelve months of existence the banana trees bear only one bunch of fruit, but from two to four or ten trees spring from the roots of the one that has fallen. At home the bunch of bananas is worth 15 cents, and the dead tree nothing, though, if the supply were not inex- haustible, the latter woul worth ten times the value of the fruit to a — factory, paper-mill, or coffee-sack maker.
