Sketch of Her Life.
Wliat changes are wrought in a hall’
-century ! In that time the boy may be
horn, grow into manhood and becomt
the president of the United States. The
highest station to which it is possible
for a woman to attain in politico-social
life in this country is that of the wife of
the chief executive of the nation. But
twenty-three women have enjoyed this
proud' distinction. Tho last of these
was Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, who has
jn-t passed away.
In 1 sTS a daughter was born to Rev.
nml Mrs. .John Witherspoon Scott. Mr.
Scott was at the time a professor in tho
Oxford (0.) female college. The little
stranger was christened Carrie Scott,
Dr. Scott belonged to an old. Pennsyl
vania family, his birth occurring in
Bucks county, that state, in the first
year of the century. When he was a
youth in Philadelphia he met a young
woman named Mary Neal. The _
people liecame much attached to eacl
other, but circumstances intervened to
separate them. The young lady’s father
was a bank cashier in Philadelphia.
Aliout the time she was entering tho
most interesting age of maiden life bo
removed to Washington, Pa., taking bis
family with him, to found and manago
a bank in the interests of eastern capi
talists.
Aliout the same time Mr. Scott, hav
ing completed his educational and theo
logical studies, came to Washington.
Pa., ns an instructor in the old Wash
ington college before it was united with
its rival. Jefferson. The old acquain
tance was renewed, and soon after Ma
ry Neal, the bank cashier’s daughter,
became the wife of John_ W. Scott, the
professor. Some forty miles in a north
westerly direction* from Cincinnati is
the rural town of Oxford. As early as
1826 it was made the seat of Miami uni-
versitv, founded under the patronage of
the state. These important educational
interests subsequently led to the estab
lishment of the Oxford Female col
and the Western Female seminary. Of
the former Rev. John W. Scott had be
come president.
There was a student at Oxford at this
time of the name of Benjamin Harrison,
He had passed from Farmer’s college
into the Miami university, and gradu
ated at the age of 18 years. The young
student, in the miust of his pursuit of
learning, found himself overtaken by
love. The daughter of the worthy man
of erudition was the object of his affec
tion. John Scott Harrison, the father
of the student, was too warm hearted
