Inauguration DAYS.

There seems to be a general belief
that Gen. Garfield was the fist of our
Presidents to go into Office ON Friday
He was really the third, both John
Quincy Adams and Franklin Pierce hav-
ing had that distinction. To settle the
matter we print the list of Inauguration
days, promising that Washington was
not sworn in until April, 80, 1889, and
that when the 4th Of March comes on
a Sunday the ceremonies take place the

In valiant suffering for others, not

will devour the others. Every noble

Some Queer Pets.

The Marlboro (Mass.) Mirror journal
tells the following story of a lady's
queer pets. The lady in question is a
Mrs. Burgess, who lives in Sandwich,
Mass, and has established friendly re-
lations with the inhabitants of "A lake
near her residence. She goes once or
twice day to feed them, and this
is what happens:
She first splashes the water with her
hand, when in moment there may be
seen approaching from every direction

to see whether it is friend or foe who
is disturbing the waters. In less than
three minutes these various species had
collected directly before her, and as
she commences to feed the water Is
fairly alive with them. They take
bread directly from her hands, and tur-
ties would allow her to take them en-
tirely out of the water, and while she
held them in one hand, they would eat
with the greatest vOracity from the
other. But the eels amused us the
most. There was one she called Quinn,
measuring about three feet in length,

How the Elephants Took Il
Bath.

As the elephants in the Geological
Garden had not washed themselves
for more than two years, superintend-
ent Brown suddenly realized that it
would be eminently proper to give
them a bath /; but the difficulty was to
find bath tub large enough to accom-
MEDIATE the trio of monster probOs-
cidians. The sea lion pool or seal
tank could not be used, as they are too
small, and it was remembered that
when Empress took her last bath in
the duck pond, in 1879, she Topped
around i'll such an eXtravagant manner
and stirred up the mud so thoroughly
that she came out far dirtier than she
went in. 1t was clear that if the ele
plants were to battle, Il tub would
have to he built.
The work was begun in April, and,
rs it was finished on Friday, the bath
ers took their first dip on yesterday
morning. The bath-tub is oval in
shape, ten feet deep, about one hun
bred and twenty feet i'll circumference,
and has concrete floor and is lined
with bricks. Half an hour after the
elephants, Dom Pedro, Empress and
Fanny, breakfasted, they were marched
from their pens to the Undiscovered
roadway which inclines to the water in
the bathing blaze. Here Empress be

the roadway and stopped. The keep
er, however, found several tender
places on her body with his harpoOn,
and after two or three wicked snorts.
which were echoed by her companions,
she moved cautiously toward the water.
The plane to the pool is only about
sixty feet long, but so slowly did the
bathers move that fifteen minutes
elapsed before Empress put one of her
feet into the water, stopped, raised her
trunk and trumpeted loudly.
This cry seemed to dispel the fears
of her companions, for an instant later
Dom Pedro pushed his way to the

again. The effect of this newly dis
covered feat must have pleased her
intensely, for, on coming to the surface
each time, her piggish little eyes spark

bath to repeat the novel performance.
At the moment the spectators were
most deeply interested in Fanny's per-
formances Dom Pedro showed his i'll

The Dark Day OfI7sO.

The winter of 1880 was re-
markable season, aurOral displays be
ing frequent, large spots appearing up
on the face of the sun, the weather tax
ing an unusual severity, and snow four
feet deep remaining on the ground
from the middle of November to the
middle of the following April. Long
Island Sound was so firmly bridged by
ice that heavy artillery crossed upon
it, people skated from Providence to
Newport, and loads of wood were car
ried over the ice from Fall River to
Newport. A backward spring follow
ed and it is said that previous to the
dark day there was a smell of sulphur
i'll the air. May 10, or ''Black Friday
was marked by terrible darkness, Il
broad belt of gloom extending from the
northern half of Pennsylvania all over
the New England States and far into
Canada. The Massachusetts Spy, one
of the newspapers of the time, says of
the occurrence:
"The morning of the day was over
cast with clouds and rainy; before 9
o'clock the rain in great measure
ceased, the clouds appeared more agi-
tated, and the air began to darken.
For several hours in the middle of the
day the obscurity was so great that
those who had good eyesight could
scarcely see to read common print
the birds and fowls in many places re
tired to their roosts as though it had
been actually night, and people were
obliged to light candles to dine by. 1t
was the Judgment of many that at II
o'clock (the time of the greatest OBJ
scurity) the daylight was not greater,
if so great. as that of bright moonlight,
which, by calculation, has been found
to be 10000 less than that of IA clear,
sunshiny day. During the whole time
sickly melancholy gloom overcast the
face of nature. Nor was the darkness
of night less uncommon and terrifying
than that of the day. Notwithstand-
ing there was almost Il full moon, no
object was discernible, but by the help
of some artificial light, which when
seen from the neighboring houses and
other places at distance, appeared
through a kind of Egyptian darkness
which seemed almost impervious to the
rays"

through her hands, and several times
she lifted him partially out of the wa
ter, but he was careful to keep his
head under. He seemed to feel that
she would take no undue liberties with
him so long as his head was in its nat
ural element, but the moment he saw
daylight he would dart back as only an
eel could. Another small one, about a
foot in length, seemed to be particu
larry fond of her caresses, and could
be handled about as she pleased, it be-
ing understood that he was to remain
under water, though.
