THE INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. How the President and Vice-President will be Inducted into Office. THE CEREMONIES AT THE CAPITOL—THE PROGRAM TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE SENATE CHAMBER AND ON THE EAST PORTICO—HOW THE DISTINGUISH- ED VISITORS WILL BE SEATED. The Senators who compose the committee of arrangements in charge of the official inaugu- ral ceremonies on the 4th day of March next have not yet completed, so far as some of the minor details are concerned, the full program for that great day, but the main features are already arranged and are now made public. Only those persons who are entilled to admis- sion will MPadmitted to the Senate wing of the capitol, and even those privileged characters will not be allowed to enter until after 10 a.m. ‘The same arrangements as to the Senate gal- leries will be im force this year as were pro- vided for four years ago. The diplomatic gal- lery will be reserved for the families of the diplomatic corps, and the tickets of admission thereto will be in the hands of Secretary Bay- ard for distribution. The gallery east of the diplomatic reservation will be held for the families of the President and President pro tempore of the Senate, the President-elect and Vice-President-elect, and of the ex-Presidents and ex-Vice-Presidents. No intruders will be allowed to trespass in the press gallery; only the scribes may enter therein. IN THE SENATE CHAMBER. The doors of the Senate chamber will be opened at 11 o'clock to those who are entitled to admission. President Cleveland and Presi- dent-elect Harrison, each accompanied by a member of the committee of arrangements, will enter the Senate wing by the bronze doors in the east front. Mr. Cleveland will go to,the President's room and Mr. Harrison to the Vice- President's room, and in these apartments they will remain until they enter the Senate cham- ber. When they enter the chamber they will be introduced to each other, and then they will take possession of the chairs set apart for them immediately in front of Presiding Officer In- galls. while the members of the committee of ar- rangements will be seated to the left of them. Mr. Morton will be escorted to the Loe pracy by the third member of the committee, and he will remain in the Vice-President’s room until he enters the Senate chamber, where Senator In- galls will administer to him the oath of office. THE DISTINGUISHED OFFICIALS, The rendezvous for the diplomatic corps will bo the marble room, and at 11:15 they will pro- ceed to the Senate chamber in a body and oc- cupy seats on the right of the chair. Ex-Presi- dent Hayes (the only surviving ex-President) and ex-Vice-President Hannibal Hamlin (if he is able to attend) will also be on the right of the chair, and in the same portion of the cham- ber will be the Supreme Court and the ex-jus- tices of that bench. On the left of the chair will be the heads of the executive departments, and for the first time in the history of the United States there will be eight cabinet offi- cers instead of seven, the Secretary of Agricul- ture being the latest addition to the President's oficial family. Also on the right will be the retired generals of the army. the major-general commanding the army, the admiral of the navy, and the officers of the army and navy who, by name, have received the thanks of Congress, Govern- ors and ex-governors of states, judges of the Supreme Court of the District and of the Court of Claims, the Commissioners of the District, the assistant secretaries of the executive de- partments, the assistant postmasters-general, the solicitor-general and the assistant attorney- general will occupy seats east of the main en- trance. Members and members-elect of the House of Representatives will enter the Senate chamber by the main entrance at 11:30 a.m., and will occupy seats on the right of the chair, next to the diplomatic corps. TO THE EAST PORTICO. After the organization of the Senate has been completed a procession will be formed which will march through to the rotunda and to the platform on the central portico on the east ront. and while the procession is being ar- ranged the reporters in the press gallery will r ceed in their ordinarily hasty but none the ess dignified manner to the seats reserved for them upon the platform. The Frocomicn will move in the following order: The marshal of the District of Columbia and the marshal of the Supreme Court. the ex- President and ex-Vice-President, the Supreme Court, the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, the committee of arrangements, the President and President-elect, Vice-President and the secretary of the Senate, members of the Sen- ate, the diplomatic corps, heads of departments, the retired general of the army, the major gen- eral commanding the army, the admiral of the navy, and the officers of ‘the army who, by name, have received the thanks of Congress, members of the House of Representatives and members elect, governors and ex-governors of states, officers of the Senate and officers of the House of Representatives, all other persons who have been admitted to the floor of the Senate chamber, followed by those who have been admitted to the gallery. When the platform on the portico is reached the President and President-elect will take the seats reserved for them, the chief justice on their right and the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate on their left. The committee of ar- rangements will occupy seats next to the Pres- ident and President-elect. The ex-President and ex-Vice President and associate judges of the Supreme Court, the President, secre- tary aud members of the Senate will occupy seats on the right. The diplomatic corps will Occupy seats on the left of the President. Heads of departments, the retired general of the army, the major-general commanding the army, the admiral of the navy, and the officers of the army and navy who, by name, have re- ceived the thanks of Congress, governors and ex-governors of states, and ex-members of the Senate will take seats west of the President. The members and members-elect of the House will occupy seats reserved for them in the rear ef the above. Such other persons as are in- cluded in the preceding arrangements will oc- eupy the steps and the residue of the platform end the portico. The oath of office will be ad- ministered to the President-elect by the chief Justice, or, in his absence, by the senior asso- ciate justice present. THE CONCLUSION, On the conclusion of the ceremonies the members of the Senate, preceded by the ser- geant-at-arms, Vice-President and the secre- tary, will return to the Senate chamber, and the President, accompanied br the committee of arrangements, will proceed to the executive mansion. Ifthe weather should be wet or very cold then the inauguration ceremonies will take place im the Senate chamber. B: reason of the limited capacity of the galierics of the Senate chamber—exclusive of the space reserved for the families of the President and President-elect, and the President of the Sen- ate pro tempore and Vice-President-elect, the diplomatic and reporters’ galleries—the num- ber of tickets is necessarily restricted and will be distributed as follows: To each Senator five tickets; to Senators-elect, members of the House of Representatives, delegates, heads of departments and justices of the Supreme Court, two tickets each. No person will be admitted to the Senate wing or rotunda except members of the House of Representations and its elective officers, on presentation of a ticket, which will be good only for the place indi- cated. The usual restrictions as to the vehicles in the capitol grounds will be in force on this occasion, and all horses and carriages, except those used in conveying ms to the east door of the north wing of the capitol will be excluded from the capitol grounds. An Honest Witness. From the Louisville Journal. Charles Theodore Russell was examining a witness in a Cambridge court one day this week. The question was about the size of certain hoof-prints left by a horse in sandy soil. “How large were the prints?” asked the learned counsel. “Were they as large as my hand?” Bee. holding up bis hand for the witness to ion while everybody laughed. to Nature.

TOWNSHEND’S RELIEF BILL. Hailed With Unanimous Applause. To the Editor of Tax Evewixe Stam: I think it safe to say that if the residents of Capitol Hill were called upoa for a vote of thanks to the Hon. R, W. Townshend, of Illi- nois, for introducing the bill in the House of Representatives, which he did a day or two ago, to compel the city railroads to consider, under penalties, the comfort and convenience of the people who are compelled to patronize such roads, the vote would be unanimous. The managers of these roads resemble very much their own horses. namely, they only go well when under whip and spur. A few years "go, under the spur of Congressional action, they provided what might be called quite a re- spectable service between Georgetown and the Navy Yard, and though the cars ran usually full; it was seldom that one was obliged to ride from the departments to points east of the cap- itol without having a seat for at lenst a part of the way. But, when the whip and spur was withdrawn by the edjournment of Congress, without action on bills before it regarding the city railroads, the seeming desire to accommo- date the public tony Caren It was but a short time, however, before the people living onthe 14th street branch of the line applied the whip and spur in the shape of concentrated ublic opinion, to compel the disuse of the bob-tail car service on that route and the sab- stitution of two-horse cars with conductors, which effort on the part of the people was-suc- cessful, so far as the interests of the 14th street people were concerned. But how did the com- pany accomplish this result? I will tell you HOW THEY DID It. They did it on the principle employed by the Trish soldier, who, when he found his blanket too short to cover both feet and shoulders, jieced it out by cutting a section from the Coper end of the blanket and yen | it on to the lower end; so the Washington and George- town railroad company, to make up a two-horse car lineon 14th street to satisfy the le there, imposed upon the people living at the extremes of the main line of the Navy-Yard and Georgetown service, withdrawing every other car therefrom. It is true they extended the 14th-street line to the capitol grounds and ‘ive transfers from there to the Navy-Yard, ut every one knows the inconvenience of a change of cars unless absolutely necessary, which condition does not exist in case, and the result is that, during what are called de- partment hours in the afternoon, the through Navy-Yard cars are crowded to’ their fullest capacity, as many or more standing up than sitting done, while the 14th-street cars, run- ning intermediate, are frequently empty or nearly 80, while the few people who do take them, expecting to take the transfer at the top of the hill, are FREQUENTLY OBLIGED TO WALK HOME, for the reason that the Navy-Yard car follow- ing is so full that not even a foothold can be had upon the steps or platform of it, and ex- cept in the métnings when Congress is in ses- sion the 14th street cars might just as well stop at 7th street and the Avenue as to continue on to Capitol Hill, as it is a well-known fact, and one the Washington and Georgetown railroad company ought to know better than any one else, that at least three-quarters of the peopie taking the cars at 7th street and beyond east of that point go east of New Jersey avenue south- east to reach their destination or houses, It is true that Congress has left but a few days in which it can act in this matter, but outside the appropriation bills there is no business of greater public interest before it, and private interests can well yield the preference to Mr. Townshend's bill. " Respectfully, Carrrou Hitu. ——.—___ AN ADDRESS BY COLORED MEN. An Attorney-General Wanted who will Protect Every Citizen in the South. An important conference of colored men was held in Indianapolis yesterday. It gathered at the instance of Prof. J. M. Langston, of Vir- ginia, and seven states were represented by delegates present—South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida and Missouri. Letters were read from colored re- publicans of Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Maryland, West Virginia, Alabama, Texas and North Carolina. Rev. William J. Simmons, D. D., of Louisville, was one of the prominent persons present. Dr. C. M. Bryant, of St. Louis; Capt. Jackson McHenry, of Atlanta: ' Rev. J. W. Dunjee, a distinguished Baptist. preacher from Angusta. Ga.; Hon. G. E. Evans, of Memphis, member of the legislature; John Mitchell, jr., editor of the Planet and member of the city council, Richmond, Va.; E. A. Lawrence, of Avery institute, Charleston; Wm. H. Stewart, of the American Baptist, Louisville; T. H. John- son. president West Tennessee university and residing elder of the South Memphis district, Tiemphis, Tenn.; Prof. M. 8. White, Pensacola, Fla.: Capt. H. Hoss, Memphis, and W. J. White, of the Georgia Baptist, Augusta, Ga., were also present, The conference was held with closed doors and an address was formulated which was pre- sented to Gen. Harrison in the afternoon. THE ADDRESS, in substance, was as follows: The undersigned would assure you that they are loyal members of the republican party; that they reside in States severally which are overwhelmingly re- publican, and upon any fair election wouid give their respective electoral votes to such party bya large majority, Such, however, are the undue iniluences and frauds brought to bear against the great body of voters of these States that the desires of the a rome Masses are constantly defeated. We believe that the fif- teenth amendment should be maintained with fairness and vigor and that ample protection, KEEPING NEW STATES OUT. House Fillibusters Succeed in Block- ing the Territorial Bill Yesterday. tion of which was given in yesterday's Sraz, is as follows: the Senate bill 185 in the following respects: 1. That the territory of New Mexico and the proposed new state thereof may be excluded from the bill, 2. That the bill may be so amended in con- ference as to provide for the admission of South Dakota by proclamation of the Presi- dent, under the Sioux Falls constitution, to be resubmitted to the people of South Dakota, with provisions for a new election of state offi- cers, and without anew vote on the question of division, 3. Further providing that the osed states of North Dakota, Montana, and Wash- ington shall be admitted on the same basis, and all of them under proclamation by the President. Further, that all such matters as relate to the election of delegates and apportionment of the districts in which, members to the conven- tion are to be = date of holding the convention, and the date of the submission of the South Dakota constitution, and the loca- tion of the temporary seat of government in South Dakota, and such other matters as are not included in the instructions above recited to be referred to the commit- tee of conference for their discretion. MR, SPRINGER’S LOST FLOWER. Referring to Mr. Springer’s work in this con- nection, Mr. Cox said: “Why the gentleman from Illinois has labored in season and out of Season over our vast realm and our territories. He has looked after these territories in the northwest. All credit to him. He has been vigilant; he has been active; and still with all his digging around the young plents our terri- torial and stately — in the west has had no result except a little flower we have seen in his buttonhole; and now even that is gone.

Therefore I | gens to end this matter by a substitute to the orignal in- struction, which I will send up to be the clerk's desk. 4 TEST VOTE AND THEN THE FILIBUSTERS GET IN THEIR WORK. The propositions were divided, and the first, as stated in Tue Star, was adopted by a vote of 135 to 106. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, moved a reconsideration, which was lost by 136 to 109, and the motion to reconsider was laid on the table. The vote was next taken on the second prop- osition, which was adopted by 137 yeas against 103 nays. After that the democrats began to filibuster, and no further action was taken be- fore adjournment. The pending proposition was to lay on the table the motion to recon- sider the last vo ena The Bright Messenger Boy. From the Kansas City Times. “What becomes of the A. D.

T have a notion that the average A. D. T. boy either becomes a detective or writes a blood and thunder novel or a horse play. He sees and hears enough in his daily rounds to fit him for either. I was sitting ina hotel to-day read- ing when one of these messenger boys reported toagentleman who had called him. I over- heard this: “T want you to take this note to this address,” said the gentleman. “You will hand it toa lady who will come to the door.

I suppose you know how to hurry?” Now, here was a. igigrent g There was some devilment in the wind, that was plain. And the boy knew it.

Talking in the Bates house just before going way with a Tribune correspondent, Mr. Lang- ston said that he was highly pleased with the result of the visit. “Our purpose,” he added, “was to present what our race conceives to be the only feasible plan yet formulated for the disintegration of the solid south and the purifi- cation of the ballot. We have no demands to Present to the President-elect, no nemes to urge for cabinet positions, nothing to ask for ourselves. Our plan is simple.

Here’s a good story, fresh from Caroline county, told about that genial politico-chame- lion, George Russum, The fact that Mr. Rus- sum has been a candidate on either one side or the other for nearly every office in the county has been the cause of no little sport at his ex- pense. If he were defeated one year upon the democratic ticket he would next year fall in line with the republicans, and once or twice, in times gone by, it is said that he invaded the ranks of the independents.

A Chum of Victor Hugo, a Friend of Tennyson and Dean Le Breton. From. ‘Record. A dingily clad, hoary-headed son of poverty sat upon a rude bench in the Blockley alms- house yard yesterday. His eyes were sunken and bloodshot, and his features bore traces of trouble and dissipation, as well as of advanced age. His oft-patched trousers had long ago given up all pretense of form, his pauper’ jacket clung limp upon his obese body, and @ battered felt hat, pulled far down over his ears was the complement of his unpicturesque garb. A dull colored bandanna neckerchief that had seen brighter days was knotted about his neck in lieu of a coliar, and as he sat and rumi- nated he puffed away vigorously at an abbrevi- ated clay pipe loaded with malodorous tobacco. THE COUNTERPART OF JEAN VALJEAN. He was but one of a yard full of decrepit pensioners, and perhaps seemed no more piti- able than the rest. But to one who knew his history the pathos of his fallen estate seemed ‘a thousand-fold increased. It would not have been hard to believe that he had just stepped out from the Pages of “‘Les Miserables.” but it required no ordinary stretch of the imagina- tion to lead one to realize that he had once been a social favorite of the author of that great novel. Yet this battered outcast had actually drunk many a friendly glass and had many a long-drawn chat with Victor Hugo. He had dandled the Jersey roy & on his knee long before she had begun to blooi nized with her father, the chivalrous Dean Le Breton, and had numbered Lord Tennyson among his many distinguished acquaintances, HE WAS A JERSEYMAN. This time-worn pauper, Sidney Thomas, once was a prosperous citizen of St. Helier, in the Isle of Jersey. His father was a well-to-do undertaker, and from his early childhood Thomas was brought up in association with the best people of the cellent edutation, and in his early manhood was the jetor of a large livery establish- ment. The Le Bretons were near a rs, and he spent many an hour by their fireside. During Victor Hugo's residence in St. Helier ordial intimacy grew up between the two, and many another notable visitor to the island came to cherish a warm admiration for the brave-hearted young Englishman, who was a brilliant conversationalist and a genial com- panion. He epoke French like a Parisian, and was well versed in science and literature. He wasamember of the Anglican church, and numbered among his friends several promi- nent English clergymen. HIS MARRIAGE WAS A FAILURE. ‘The successive deaths of his wife and eight children were the events that marked the be- ginning of his downfall. His habits became corrupt and his life dissolute, He remarried, this time to a woman who was vain and extrava- gant, and in no respect his equal. She it was who accomplished his ruin. She squandered his fortune to the last cent, until in desperation he abandoned her and fled to America. This was in 1871, when he was forty-seven years of age. For a time he filled a clerical —— in New York. Then he drifted to Philadelphia, and obtained a good situation as bookkeeper. But his habits were bad, his ambition destroyed, and he soon found himself reduced to a menial position in a small livery-stable in the lower art of the city, There for six years he worked or bed and board and a little more, until two months ago incapacity and infirmity drove him “over the hills to the poorhouse.” HE QUOTES SHAKESPEARE. In the midst of his squalid environment Thomas has yet retained refined and cultivated tastes. His mind is strong and active, and even in a workhouse court he quotes Pope and Shakespeare with fluency and descants with equal facility of Longfellow, Dickens or Sweden- borg. He is modest and reticent in regard to himself. But the rare pleasure of talking with any one who is other than an illiterate vagrant occasionally tempts him to say more than he would deem prudent, ‘TIME HANGS HEAVILY ON HIS HANDS. “The days are long and dreary in this far- off corner of the world,” said Thomas to a visitor recently. “I buy a paper every day and read it through from beginning to end, ad- vertisements at all, But after that is done there is a good deal of daylight still left. Con- versation here is not very edifying. You might as well ask an inmate to describe an equilateral triangle on a given straight line as to expect him to discuss the tariff or anything else that’s reasonable.” SPURGEON TOOK GIN AND WATER, “Thomas tells a tale or two about Spurgeon that might shock some of the Baptist brethren on this side of the water. When in London he was a frequent attendant at Spurgeon’s taber- nacle, and when the great divine visited Jersey he ae in upon Thomas at his country seat. is with a tinge of almost malicious glee that Thomas, when recalling the circum- stances of that visit, tells of their tour to the village ale-house. “Yes,” says he, “it wasn’t only with Hugo that I had a cup or two.

THE LATEST FAD SERVED UP TO ENGLISH VALE- TUDINARIANS. A London correspondent of the Druggists’ Bulletin writes: “On turning down Oxford street my attention was attracted by a huge sign on the opposite side of the street, and also by the number of people flocking into the building. This sign read as follows: ‘Whaloid. Infallible cure for consumption. Dispensing hours 8 to 10a.m.,3 to 5 p.m.’ Entering the building I was at a loss what to make of the matter, as all I could see was the crowd and a large tank in the center of the room. This tank was some 70 feet long, 30 feet wide. and, as I learned afterward, about 30 feet deep, having been constructed at a great expense. While waiting patiently for developments I found that the liquid was being lowered or let out by some means. Soon a smooth black surface rp. peared to view, and as the water continued recede I became a’ that a captive whale was on exhibition. og gens at not having to pay any admission fe: Was soon made aware of the reason. A framework had been construct- ed, on which the animal rested, and soon an expert milkman was engaged in extracting for the consumptives whaloid (or whales’s milk), which was speedily absorbed at five shillings er glass. This a. seems to be identical with at of the milkmen in Naples, who lead a cow to the door and deliver the fluid in the presence of the consumer, so that the latter can be satisfied that no illegal dilution is in- dulged in. I had hardly recovered from sur- prise at this uunigue idea of getting nature's own emulsions when I was to encounter a se- verer shock. Joining the -aiee eoae were leaving, I found myself drifting er down the street toward Southampton Row. The place of attraction proved to be, however, a smaller building, also labeled in a mysterious manner: ‘Codloids. Authorized agency pro- tected by letters patent. Supplied to subserib- ers only. — for rheumatism and con- sumption.’ Now, what do you suppose cod- loids proved to be? Why, eggs of codfish, and wonderfully large ones, too, They were retailed at two shillings per egg, and eaten raw with a little sodium chloride, which in plain English means salt.
