Peculiar ID

London has a large weekly news
paper called the Obituary, devoted,
as its title shows, to obituary and
mortuary proceedings. 1t has an
immence circulation, and columns
Of splendid advertisements. I'm
dertakers who get up funerals in
every variety; cremationists, embal-
mers, vault makersand grave diggers
all have their say in its columns,
while the makers of humble tomb
stOnesand the sculptors Of gorgeous
monuments are ready to decorate
the last home of man. Grape
makers, manufacturers of all sorts
Of funeral appliances, and especi-
ally mourning mantua makers,
claim the attention of the afflicted
in their special advertisements.
Wills Of distinguished indiyidu-
ais are given, and lost wills adyer-
tised I; the cards Of attorneys
drilled in probate matters, and adj
vertisements for absent heirs, make
up a portion of its patronage.
The reading matter is all suited
to the subject, while the obituary
notices form a staple item, and if
necessary, choice notices are writer
by distinguished writers for the
afflicted friends and relations, 50 as
to move them to appropriate grie.
and lead them to gentle conSola
ton.
Many people are afflicted with {
morbid love for such reading, an(
to them this paper furnishes th,
choicest matter,
A travel through its columns i
like a solemn promenade through
splendid graveyard, with a hal
dozen funerals in sight, with tn
truthful ~utterances Of the epitaph
thrown in.
1t takes all sorts of people t
make a world, and there are tAos
t who strive to please each sort {
people. The London Obituary ha
"a serious mission to gil, and it seem
determined to fill it. Though dc
voted to the dead, and somewhi
sepulchral in its tone and sent
ments, it is evidently q thorough

The Fourth ~ Hnrch.

The 4th OF March, next year, will
come on Sunday. The beginning of the
term OF office of the President Of the
United States has twice before in our
history happened on the first day of the
week in lS49 and in 1921. An article
copied from su Eastern paper in the
Gazette, last week, asserted that the
same thing happened in 1893, but this
was an error. The 4th Of March, 1893,
was on Monday. That article very gen.
erously supposed that the first President
would not take an oath OF office on Sun
day, but this generosity in favor Of him
who could not tell a lie was wasted.
The way in which the mistake occurred
is very evident. In four years, including
one leap year, there are 20S'weeks and
five days. Each Inauguration day comes
five days later in the week than the last
one; seven terms make thirty.6ve days,
or just FIVE weeks later; and thus, after
twenty.eight years, the inauguration
comes on the same day of the week,
provided every fourth year has been q
leap year. Now the year 1900 was not q
leap year. When the number Of a year
is diyisible by 100, it is not a leap year
unless it is also divisible By 400. Neither
will 1900 be a leap year.
The effect of this is to throw of the
count at the end Of every century.
Four years, including the year 1900, will
have 208 weeks and four days. After
next year the Presidential term will moi
begin on Sunday until 1917, unless the
Constitution is changed, or both the
offices of President and Vice President
should become vacant during the same
term. If neither of these sad events
occur, the term will begin on Sunday
just thirteen times every four hundred
years.

WHY HAYES Q B IT.

Governor Hayes was serenaded
and interviewed a day or two after
the election, and made a little
speech in which he was frank
enough to admit his defeat. He
said he deprecated the dispatches
published which encouraged Re
publicans, because enthusiastic
friends might bet on the election
and lose money. Upon this score
he has little ground for apprehen-
sion. They are not betting much
on that side. He also said:
Idon'tc care for myself-for the party,
yes, and the country too can stand il?
but | do care for the poor colored men OF
the South. | do not fear that business
will be greatly disturbed by Mr.. Tildeu's
election. Trade governs itself. CAPT.
talists may Just at present say we won't
lend money, but it will be only a nine
days wonder, which will wear away as
soon as they recover from the chagrin OIL
defeat. Business will, l think, 90 on al
