A Mother's Anniversary.

Not bv the seshoard that love the best,
Where the great waves come dancing up
the bay.
Round the Black Nab in fearless mirth to
play.
And iiug white foam flakes On his rugged
breast:
While the soft wind comes sweeping from
the west,
And the lark sings in blue depths far
away;
MT there, my darling, do keep today.
The day of days to me supremsly blest.
The day that brought our happy life it's
crown,
The day Gsd sent his choicest blessing
down;
The day that woke The sense of mothers
love,
The gift all other gifts of life above;
The day when all else around me smiled.
Your father thanked me for his tirst-born
child.
Alb. blue eyed angel OF our morning PRIME
Glory and gfadness of our bright noon

Sweet comforter that nestled by my side
When life WAS daTkencd in its fairest time
And the sweet Joy bells, in their fullest

Were Jared ana silenced; who to hope

Woke my half frozen heart; soft stay and

How our nrst child indeed has 'come Of

And picture all the joys that would

Political Curiositios.
[From the s. r. Chronie,e.l

From the s. +. Chronicle.
It has long been regarded a.
one of the political curiosities of
the United States that q candi-
date for President who receives Il
clear majority Of all the v'tes
cast may still fail Of election.
Tild"n's maturity over Hayes was
more than 100000 Of the popular
vote, yet Hayes VAS elected be-
cause he had majority of one in
the electoral colleges: This cleo.
toral majority resulted from AN.
other curiosity-that which gives
the smallest State q, much power
In the United States Senate as
the largest, and Presidential
electOr for each Senator. 1t is
opposed to the theory of popular
government, but it is doubtful
whether anything short Of rev.
UlutiOn can ever ch ange it. Still
more curious IL the erra,ic rule
which has of late years obtained
In themake-up of National Con.
venii,ns for the nomination of
candidates for President and Vice
President. By the Federal Con.
stitutiOn only the citizens of
States c,n participate i'm the
election nf these officers, the Ter
ritOries being excluded. But the
N uional Conventions, by admit
ting delegates from the District
Of Columbia and the Territories,
indirectly endDw them with Il
power in the choice of President
and Vice President. Let it be
conceded for the sake Of argu.
ment, that the nominee of the
Republican Convention, whoever
he may be-. is this year as sure of
election rs the nominee of the
same party WAS in 1868 or 1872,
aud The vote i'm the convention
between any two randihates-say
Grant and i;lainr-shall be close
enough tn b. decided by half Il
score, and we should witness the
remarkable curiosity of the eight
Territories debating to all the
States who shall be the successors
of Hayes and Wheeler, lnasniuch
rs they are all supposed to tm for
one of these two leading candi'
dates. And yet MT vote for
President can be cast in any Ter
ritory, nor in the District "f Co
lumbia.

THE WORK OF ME-. G. G. rEINGLE Of CHAR
LoTTE-AN IMPORTANT rlECE OF SER
VICE.
Mention was made in the FREE Press 4
short time since. of an intended tour of MIR.
c. G.. Pringle of Charlotte among the South
ern forests. 1t may be OF interest TO present
few facts in reference to the matters I'M
perfectly alluded TO- Mr. Pringlc, rs many
of our readers know, has won for himself an
enviable position as Woodworking and care
| full botanist, and his contributions to scien-
tiiic publications and his extensive cores
pondence have brought him in contact with
many of the leading men in his branch Of
science, both in this country and abroad
His ability is thoroughly recognized, and he
finds himself called upon to enter immediate
ly wider field of observation. In 1879,
under appointment from DIR. Massey, boian-
ist of the Department of Agriculture, Mr..
Pringle collected for the Centennial EXhi-
bition specimens of the trees of this region, and
since that time he has had more or less con-
ncction with the department, and with the
Botanical Garden and Arboretum OF liar
ward University, the director of which. Prof.
Sargent, was last fall appointed special agent
of the Forestry Department of the 10th
census. Prof. Sargent at once asked the
assistance of Mr.. Pringle and procured for
him from Gen. Walker the appointment as
expert of the census office TO assist in the
collection of statistics of tree-covering,
forest wealth and the numbering industries
of the United States" He is now securing
specimens of various woods, to be tested
with respect to the relative strenth, heat
producing power etc. He is TO ascertain
as faras possible all the uses 10 which our
different woods are put and the methods
of preparation, and before spring is
to visit some of the chief milling
centres of the Northeast ia-fsrtlA nrauan Of
this object The field allotted TO him en-
braces all the lumber regions from Maine to
Wisconsin, particularly the uninhabited por-
tons which will not be visited by the regu-
lar enumeratOrs. 1t is expected that he will
tra'ersc THESE regions anu astertain ny per
sonal observation and inquiry the extent and |
condition of the forests; the proportion still |
standing of the more valuable timbers, such |
as the white pine; the extent of and loss by |
forest fires during the past ten years, etc.
The entire Summer is allowed for this |
work, and if time permits he may go through |
the Alleghanies, or possibly the Southern |
field may be traversed, in part, before |
Spring opens the northern streams, which |
are to be his thoroughfares through the wild |
erness. While engaged in this work, Mr.. |
Pringlc will be permitted to explore, in his
own interest, the entire flora of the regions
visited, and will doubtless be able to make
important additions to his already valuable
stock of information and of specimens.

ONE of the most attractive scenic enter
paration by the ladies of the Women's Tenn
perance Union. 1t will be given at the
Howard Opera House, Friday evening, Feb.
9th, and will consist of the reading of por-
tons of Longfellow's favorite poem Of
''Evangeline, illustrated by series of some
twenty tableaux. The ladies have enlisted
some fifty persons of both sexes, including
many of those among us best fitted for such
business, in the presentation of the tableaux ;
and we have no doubt that they will sur
pass in elaborateness and beauty any similar
presentation ever made in our city. If sufli-
cient encouragement is received, special
trains will be run.

The St. Adams Bank Trouble.

To the Editor of the Free Press and Times:
The published accounts of the proceedings
of the annual meeting of the stockholders of
the First National Bank of ST. Adams were
very much exaggerated in many respects
While they had a stormy time, no violence
was resorted to and no feeling exists, as has
been published. The claim that the presi-
dent of the bank was owing for past due
and unpaid liabilities turns out 10 he I'M
founded, and his treatment unjust The
matter will be put right by the comptroller,
or speedy remedy will he pursued by quo
parrdnto under the law of 1876. 1t seems
improbable that the real owner of ! majority
of stock in any institution in this country
should be deprived of voice in its manage
ment. The claims of Hon. Z. A. Sowles as
the rightful president of that institution must
be recognized by every person having any
regard for the rights of individuals and prop
ertv. n
