thinks it Is pity to disturb the State with mat

When will the Fourth Of March
come OH Sunday4

Ii is said that The question was asked when
the Constitution was framed and adopted. what
will be done if the fourth of March should come
on Sunday, and that the answer was returned
thai the fourth OF March would neUer come on
Sunday This il seems was a mistake. The
second term of James Monroe 10 1921 CON-
menced on Monday The 9Th of March, aud from
an interesting table which has recently come
under our eye, we perceive that the 4Ih of
March will again come on Sunday In lS49, The
day for Inauguration OF the next President
Before another Presidential Sabbath twenty
eight years must elapse, viz. in 1877. Before,
another 4h of March comes on Sunday, eigA5'
hundred and forty eight gears must elapse, which
will bring US 10 the year 27l7. The 4rh comes
on Sunday again IN The year 1885, and before
another returns $40 years more must elapss.
Again il occurs in 1888, aud also in 1921, a
lapse OF 33S years. Following up The table to
which we refer stIIl farther, We perceive hal
in period of 2772 years, or from lS49 TO
462l, both inclusive, The fourth Of March, or as
it might be called, The Presidential Sabbath,
comes on Sunday bur thirteen times. Before
the return of these thirteen days, how many
will have passed out of The porch Of lime lno
the vast temple Of Eiernity.-ROch. Adu.

The Democratic National Convention is to
meet on The 22d INST, al Baltimore. 1t seems
scarcely probable that II will be able to agree
upon any one of the distinguished men who

Possibly some more obscure member Of the
party, as in The case of Mr.. Polk, will be taken
as compromise. In that case, il has been
