ReSu1nption---


has. certainly occasioned not ripple
upon the surface Of affairs, and naturally
there is an evident complaint that an event
which everybody expected to produce a
sensation should be so devoid Of excite
ment. In the absence Of any notable cir
cumstance, people are inclined to blame re-
sumption for the cold weather-the fearful
tidal wave which has swept over the land,
performing a,work OF contraction every
where. The very suggestion occasions an
additional shiyer at every tiresde. Nor
would it be altogether easy for Secretary
SHERMAN to prove that the cold wave is not
one OF the evil effects Of resumption. II
he were TO deny this, it would puzzle him
to show what effect has been wrought by it,
so entirely free from visible influences has
resumption been. 81

The election, is to take place on the Esd Jan.

The season wilfbe not at all favorable to
rapid movements and to electioneering. and
the district Is one much and inconveniently
intersected by wide waters. Yet we appre,

Taking practical view Of the case, there
would be disposition to conclude that
General BEALE, the memberelect to che

A United States senator says: "No man
and his family ever enjoyed the presidency
and the White House so much as Hayes
and his family do. To them the whole
thing is like the first reading Of Robinson
Crusoe' to boy, or a first jack-kniie or
a first pair Of boots. They are an innocent,
harmless people, and, il they gush a little
and give it away, it is only because they
are caIlow and green" a 81.

ANSWER.

A year is q year, as century is century.
The, first century ended with the year 100,
not with the year SO. The second century
ended with the year 200; the third with
the year 300; the fourth with the year 400;
and SO on until necessarily the eighteenth
ended with the year 1SOo-not with the year
1899. Now the same rule will apply to any
year. Consequently, January /, 1901, was
the first day Of the 10th century. January
1, 1879, is, therefore, the first day Of the
year 1879. AS soon as any year is CON-
pleted, we begin with the next. The very
fact that the date 1879 is used proves that
the year 1879 is running; Just as in regard
to days we say A. M., Of the 9th; ? A.
III. OF the 9th; A. NJ. OF the 9th; 4 A. NJ.
OF the 9th !; u NJ. Of the 9th; P. M. Of
the 9th; IL P. NJ. Of the 9th; only when the
day is ended at II p III. do We begin to
count on the 10th day. '.'@
