From the Washington correspondence OF lEe
Baltimore papers VIC take the following:
A. partial estimate of tho great number of
people who will be here to witness General
Grants Inauguration may be formed when 1t IS
stated that every room in one or the largest
hotels has been already eng ged, and the pro-
prietors we're compelled to refuse at le1st two
hundred other applicants.
In noticing tt.r other day the little personal
s'unpleasantness' between the outgoing and III
coming Presidents, took occasion TO depre-
cate the unsoldier-like dodge oil General Grant
in shrking visit to Alr. johnson on New
Yeal s day by an ignominious flight to Phlla-
dclphia. This has given rIsc to the. sus%es-
ton that another difficulty is ahead; that upon
sinauguration day. it has been customary for
the Setting sun to attend tho Rsmt in his
triumphant course to the Capitol, and that it
NAV not be agreeable to the latter luminary to
permit his etfulgencs to be eclipsoI by the su-
peror splendor OF the former. l apprehend
no difficulty on this score. MIR. johnson
will scarcely, after what has occurred, com,
mence negotiations upon this delicate and
grave point. Mr.. Adams put on q stiff upper
lip on The 4th OF March, 1929. and did not at
tend (nor did he offer to attendl the ceremonies
of Jacksons Inauguration. Doubtless there
have been other parallel cases in oui history.
But besides all this, learn that General Grant
has intimated laconically to his Man Ell

inaugurations and elaborate "Inaugural:s;, !"
He will therefore be sworn in, together with
the Vice-president, in the Senate Chamber,
without any parade. President Johnson's
presence can therefore be very we'll dispensed
with. a principal reason for this change of
tase is that tho coming man is "no orator. as
Brutus is." His speech predatory to kissing
the calf-skin, it is thought, will be exceedingly
brief, not bigger than piece Of chalk, OF sufi-
cient dimensions, however, for marking down
certain important and profound political max
inns, such as LET us have Peacel" "rll fight

quently. and think the likeness perfect" 1t
would be manfestly outside the pale of deco
rum to assemble hundreds OF thousands OF
eagar spectators in front of the eastern portico
of the Capitol, and dismiss them thus abruptly.
The inside track is, therefore, indispensable,
where the President elect may, as succlnctly
as he chooses, announce his line OF march,
and leave elucidation and embellishment to
Marcus Schuyler Brutus Colfax, who Is really all
orator of natures own making

LAST ILLNESS OF PRESIDENT PIERCE
A dispatch dated Concord, N. H., Octo-
ber 8, says:
"The last sickness of ex President
Pierce commenced in mild form about
FIVE weeks since at Hampton Beach. 1t
was not at first considered to be a dan
gerous illness, but he grew worse rapidly,
and in a few days was taken to his home
in Concord. His family physician, DR..
Charles P. Gage, was summoned, and he
found the ex-President suffering from alb
dominal dropsy, attended with alarming
symptoms. Prompt treatment resulted
in relieving the patient. About two
weeks since hiccups set in seriously, and
continued at intervals for about ten days.
The dropsical difficulty had becn again
relieved, but when it set in the third time
the system did not seem TO respond to
diuretic medicines. This physical condi-
ton, joined with inability to take much
nourishment, caused Mr.. Pierce to COM
mence sinking, and he continued to fail
gradually until death. He was conscious
to the last, and had sufficient strength to
converse up to within two hours of his
decease. He conversed frequently during
his sickness upon public and national
matters, and expressed deep interest in
and anxiety for the welfare of the coun-
try. He talked freely of the public men
with whom he had been associated in
political life, and spoke personally of his
former Cabinet members, and of many
other statesmen and representative men
in different parts of the country.
GAS death approached his waning
strength did not permit him to converse
but to all appearances his bodily pain had
left him. He lay quietly upon his bed, q
calm, happy and resigned expression sui
fusing his countenance. At about five
o'clock he looked around the room for the
last time, his eyes resting for moment
upon those in attendance upon him, and
then as calmly and swcetly as o child
would sink to its rest, he closed his eyes
in his last sleep, and passed away. HI
died at the residence of Mr.. Willard Will
liams, on Main street, where he had made
his home, while in Concord, for many
years past. President Pierce formerly
attended the South Congregations
Church in Concord, but few years since
he Joined ST. Paul's Episcopal Church, o
which he was communicant. lie left /

stood, he devised by will"

AVERAGING BxPENsEs.-It is very sell
dom that any business can be counted up
on as sure to yield large and constant
income. There are many chances and
casualties in trade and business which can
not be foreseen He is fortunate man
indeed, whatever his calling, who does
not find himself, sooner or later, going
"out of fashion," The new conner, or
more dashing, ingenious, or willy competi-
tor, will sometimes distance an old public
favorite. Or successful man may be
spoiled by success, spoil his own business
by neglect, or over-con6dence in his repu-
tation.
For these and many other reasons, it
should be the effort of every man to be-
come Independent of his business. We
mean that he should place part, how.
ever small, of his earnings in some de-
scription of investment, which shall be
secure from the chances Which affect his
regular calling. To do this, he should
tax not his business means, but his per-
sonal vanity, and be content to creep, as
the phrase goes, before he attempts to
walk and to walk before he essays to run.
There is many man who looks back on
the careless expenditure of past years
I with regrot, but who might now be assis-
ted by the interest of his prosperous ac,
ouisitions, if he had funded, instead OF
spending his money for temporary graft
fcation
Working men, while in the prime Of
their strength and manhood, and tho re.
ccipt of liberal wages, might secure them
selves not only against the distant day OF
old age; but also against much of the in
convenience of dull times, of sickness OIL
of forced inactivity from any other cause.
Whoever will mako firm rule, and abide
by it, always to live within his income, is
on the safe road to competence, if not tc
wealth.
