April 4, died in the White House, aged 68. A LTHOUGH William Henry Har rivon was elected to the presi dency -as the log-cabin candidate, in the first -of our frenzied, parading cam paigns, he was born ;to one. of "the first families of Virgiila," lin a manor house'on the banks of the aristocratic James. As a son -of Benjamin Har rison, signer -of the Declaration, with the blood of Pocahontas in his veins, and as a descendant of i -Cromwellian colonel who signed 'the death warrant of :a king, no president has had a longer, more historic lineage. In ability William :Henry Harrison -fell.'below the standard of his prede cessors. He was felected not because he -was a great statesman or a great soldier, but because he was thoroughly representative of. the new West, which was flattered to see in the White House for the first time a 'nan created in its own image. At Harrison's inauguration the presiflency entered an eclipse and was held for 20 years by secondary - characters, who reigned, but did not rule. With men of the eminence of Clay and Webster, Calhoun and Ben Williun Henry Harrison. - ton, latterly Cass and Houston, Doug . las and Davis,- Case and Wade, Sew . ardl and Sumner in the senate, dils tinction and sleadership passed from - the White House to the capitol. It was an ignoble period in our polities when both part les were dodging the irrenressibile Issue of slavery, and the smaller the candidate for president the better chance lhe had to dodge the question. In the teeth -of a piercing northwest wind, the old farmer piresident-elect, bareheaded andl disdaining the protec t ion or ani overc'(oat, rodle hlorseback to the capitol. After addressing a great crowdi tjiat slhivered in its shawls andl furs, lhe Insisted, though hal f-froz~en, onl remiounting his horse and leading the inautgurial paradi~e. No sooner' was the first WVhig pre'si dent in the chair thtan the clalims of factions and the clamor for patronage assnileid him. Cilay had declined cabinet honors-nand labors--In .te confhientt expectation .of playing the easier aud more lions4)ful role of thew ,power ilhind -the thenine. The ira g~erlous manner of (te Great Comn jloner wounding the presidential pride, he was requested to make his ealia at .the White Hotste as infre gwent -and Inconspicuous as he con *1entently con~d. -Thereupoii his total absence became .emba rrasasngl y con spieuous. '!flhe one clear mandate of elec ifon .of 1840 was to turn out tltjemo.. crate end give the jobs to tl Whigs. Straightway a hungry h .e -'ell upon Harrison and literally devourted him. In at month to e day he wvas de'ad of pneumaonla, the Srst president to die in offleec throughout the more than 50O years of its existence. This briefpst of admrinistrations Is a panthetic little story of a simple, lonely 01(1 nman, lured from hii, :ar~m to be the sport of politics.

AT JAPAN SHRINES Sights Worth Seeing. In the Em pire's Temple Cities. Beautiful Scenery of Nikko and the Flowery Great Yeddo in the Cap Ital Well Repay Visitor for the Excursion. "Many feet are now treading thelr way to the shrines in the temple cities of Japan," says the third of a series of bulletins from the National Ge ographic society on the places which will be visited by members of con gress on their trip to the Orient. "Eager Americans will stroll along the shdy streets of Nikko to the tombs of the shoguns and drink in the indescribable beautiful scenery, their lips all the while murmuring the Jap anese word kekko (beautifuP), which the Japanese say one never learns to pronounce until he has seen the city of Nikko. In Tokyo. called the Flow ery Great Yeddo, the capital of the empire, they will see the imperial pal ace and tke remains of the former glory of the shoguns, a fatmlly of nil itary governors who were the virtual rulers of Japan for several centuries, and in Kyoto they will probably get a confused, hazy idea of one or two of the 800 Buddhist temples and 80 Shinto shrines. "Perhaps, too, In the temples of Tokyo a bit of American pocket men ey will go to a plriest for prInt i pretty prayer on a slip of paper, which the visitor, In true pilgrim fashion, will press to his foreltead an( to his breast and then fasten to the tem pie wall In order that it may be a per petual petition. But then when -there are 30,000 delties to whom devout Jap anese write, a few Amerlean pleas will scarcely clog the celestial posti serv lee. "There will be many native pilgrims on the way to the shrines. During the summs'r nonths, when the crops have been taken care of, the village folk, though they have the -teamples of their ownt pltroini delty and the tox god, feel that they must stnd out a pilgrim or two to the sacreil moun talis and holy places of Japan to worship in behntf of those who can not go, and so they provide n fund for his expenses.
