The Emma Mine Investigation
GEN. II. II. BAxTER's TESTIMONY.

GEN. II. II. BAXTER's TESTIMONY.
Gen. II. Henry Baxter was examined by
the committee on foreign affairs on Thurs
day, at Washington, and testified that he
never heard of Prof. Blake's letter of the
eth OF July, 1871, in derogation of the
Emms mine, until recently. lie further
testified that there was no preparation of
the mine for Prof. Siillman's examination.
He agreed to pay Siilliman not less than
$4,000 nor more than $4,000, the COM
pensation depending on the value of his
professional services. Silliman, however,
was paid $4,000 through j. NJ. Selover,
Gen. Baxter said that up to the time the
mine was sold he never heard from any
source doubts expressed as to the value Of

INAUGURATION DAY.

The "original" item, which has appear
ed so periodically in the newspapers for
the past quarter of century, to the effect
that the fourth day of March was selected
for inauguration" day, because it would
come SO seldom on Sunday, Is again going
the rounds. The moral derived is, that
our fathers were extraordinarily far-sighted
men, and, as proof thereof, it is cited that,
in the century, the fourth of March would
occur on Sunday only three times-two Of
which have already happened namely in
1921 and in 1910, the third time being in
1877. One exchange, however, being a
little more heightened, finds a religious
ground for the selection, saying "Out Of
regard to the Sabbath, and the desire
" that its violation by the inaugural cere-
" monies might occur as seldom as possible
" the 4th of March was fixed as the date
" for those ceremonies, because IL would
" fall upon Sunday less number of times
:" and at greater intervals than any other
" date during many years"
unfortunately, however, the 1acls 90
not bear out either the theory of far-sight-
edness or of extraordinary regard for the
Sabbath. No day whatever has, If we re-
member correctly, been "fxed as the date
" for those ceremonies" the law simply
declaring that the term of office of the
president and vice resident OF the United
States shall commence and terminate Oh
the fourth day of March-and the fixing
of this day was the result of accident. The
convention, called for that purpose, having
in September, 1887, framed constitution
transmitted it to the legislatures of the sew
eral states for ratification or rejection
Eleven states having ratified the conslitu
ton, being more than sufficient to estab

A ScoTCH paper gives the following in e
stance of practical sympathy; A poor
man who had large family broke his
leg, and as he would be for sometime
destitute of the means of grace, it was
proposed to hold a prayer meeting at his
house. The meeting was led by Deacon
Brown. A loud knock at the door inter
rupted the service. a tall, lank, blue
frocked youngster stood at the door with
an ox-goad in his hand and asked to see
Deacon Brown. "Father could not at
tend this meeting" he said, "but he sent
his prayers, and they are out in the cart"
They were brought in, in the shape of
potatoes, beef, pork and corn. The meet
ing broke up without the benediction.

BYthe Tilden-Hendricks' letters the
Republicans see that perfect harmony
reigns in the Democratic councils. The
Republican papers chuckled at the delay
in the appearance Of the letters, arguing
it meant discord. On the only groun d
upon which there was any chance that
they might not agree, the financial, they
are peculiarly in accord. They are not
only in accord with the Democratic
party, but with the best, sentiment of the
country irrespective of party. Fronnow
forward the party moves on under one
direction and one impulse towards the
common enemy.

invited an uncle to French restaurant
to "dine EN-" out of him. After dinner
he said to him, "What do you think of

he replied, with a look of contrition-

"You recollect that third dish-delicious

OF delight, "In that dish there were two

CAUSE OF WAR.

A certain king sent to another king,
saying, Send me blue pig with black
tail, or else---"
The other replied, 81 have not got
one, and if | had"
On this weighty cause they went to
war. After they had exhausted their
armies and resources, and laidwaste their
kingdoms, they began to wish to make
peace; but before this could be done it
was necessary that the insulting language
that led to the trouble should be explain
ed.
"What could you. mean," asked the
second king ofthe first, by saying, Send
me blue pig with black tail, or else
-"
"Why," said the other, 81 meant a
blue pig with black tail or else some
other color. But what could you mean
by saying, have not got one, and if |
had---T
"Why, of course, if l had should
have sent il"
The explanation was satisfactory, and
peace was accordingly concluded.
The story of the two kings ought to
serve as lesson to us all, Most of the
quarrels between individuals are quite as
foolish as the war of the blu pig with a
black tail.
