Mary had little cake.
Its leo was white as snow;
Twas fair to see and sweet to taste,
For Brengle makes themso.
She took the cake to school one dag:
1t was against the rule;
For children all love Brenale's cakes
And take q bite in school,
And 80 the teacher took tho cako
And est it on the sly;
Apd after school, with solemn face,
ohe told the child a liza
She said the mice had eat the cako
And thought it very nice:
That all of them that tasted it
Had turned 10 candy mice.
The candy mice the windows show
And tempt the boys to break,
Were just the very little mica
That nibbed Msry's cake.
But Mary WAS not fooled at all.
Too thin," WAS all she spske,
The teacher quick to Brengle's skipped
And bought another cake.
And Brengle has lots of such Cakes On hand for

Inauguration Fetes. Fesitvities and Ger
cmOsitcS.


Washington City, during the last week,
resembled Pbiladelphis during the gala days
Of 1876, when that city was ea fete for the
Centennial Exposition. Hundreds of thou
sands of flags, banners, remnants, and
strcamers. of every variety of color. size and
shape gave to streets and avenues the APP
pearance Of a stupendous May fair. Mem
bers of military companies, from all parts
Of tho Union, representing in their uniforms
ahundred different styles Of martial costume,
gave variety TO thecrowded street panorama,
while fair visitors from the cities, and their
blooming country cousins, no doubt con-
WINGED those whowerc not able to distinguish
the transient from the permanent resident,
that Washington abouEds in beautiful wo-
men. The inaugural ceremonies were, in
the msin, successful Such an army haf not
been seen In Washington since tbo legionS
of Grant and Sherman re,urpcd from the
war. The splendid spectacle was witnessed
by at least two huad.>d thousand people
from the side walls, windows, vast tiers of
temporary seats, and other points of view
along tie line of march The pyrotecnic
disr,ay was grand beyond description. But
the climax of festivities. and its most sue
cessful feature. was theinaugural ball The
National Museum, just completed, and in
which the inaugural bali was held is q vast
system Of spacious. Well-ycntiated, and
perfectly heated halls; these halls are sep
aratcd only by arched colonades, making
practically one room covering space Of
three acres. The permanent floor is of mo-

it, Probably, on no former occasion have
so many distinguished men assembled under
one roof in the United States. \ President

Yesterday and the Cabinet of to-day, Justi-

Representatives in Congress, Generals Han
cock. Sherman. sheridan, Jos. Z. Johnston,
and other celebrities OF the late war were
present; litcrati, journalists, scientists, ar
tists-in short, it seemed that almost every
man of whom we read in this Hemisphere
was in this brilliant assemblage. Special
attention everywhere was bestowed upon
Gcnl. Hancock and the President, Genl.
Sherman and other distinguished soldiers
put the seal of their condemnation upon
some members of the local committee by
their greeting Of the cx-Coniederate Gen.

The Inaugural Message.


The President reviewed briefly the chief
events i'm our century life, noting lastly the
supreme trial Of the Constitution under
civil wars tremendous pressure whence the
Union emerged purified and strengthened.
It was manifest that the nation was resolute-
Is facing TO the front resolved alone on de
velopiug the futures great possibilities and
leaving behind all bitter controversies ON
things irreyocahly settled.
The ucgro'- elevation from slavery TO cit
izensbip is the most importan; political
change since the Constitution Of 1851 1t
has freed us from ever-impendiny war aud
dissolution; added largely to our moral and
industrial forces: liberated mastcrand slave
from Ia relation which wronged and enteeblyd
both given to their own keeping the man
hood of five millions; and inspired anew
self help I'm both races Jy making labor
honorable 90 the white and more necessary
Co the black man. The disturbance to the
South chi, change caused was dcplorcd. vet
unavoidable. No middle ground existed
for the negro between slavery and citizen
ship. There could be no permanent dis
frauchiscd peasautry. With patience and
geutlcuess not born of fear the emancipated
had followed the light as God gave them to
see the light, were rapidly laying material
foundations of self support and deserved
the generous encouragement of all good
men,
The alleged denial of free suffrage TO the
ncgroiumany communities isl grave charge
It's only palliation is the answer. if true
that honest loca, self government +, impos-
siblo where meducatcd negroes vote. Bad
local controls are great evils, but suffrage
violation is a crime persistence in which
DESTROYS the government itself Suffrage
win give neither safety nor repose TO the
states OF nation until each In its own sphere
maintains Tree the ballot The danger, of
am ignorant franchise cannot be denied
They Turk i'm the sources of power; and the
disasters which ignorance and vice in the
citizen Joined TO fraud and corruption in
the suffrage threaten cannot be measured
by any known standard. Our voters can
transmit their authority 20 none save a
coming generation of voters who, if they
inherit this privilege, blinded by ignorance
and corrupted by vice. the republics fall is
certain. Appalling census figures of Hitter
acv IN this class sounds already a warming.
Being alone responsible for the suffrage
extension the nation is obligated TO help
remove the illiteTav thus added to the
South's voting population. An only rene
dy lies i'm National state and volunteer
combiniugs ON universal education.
Commercial experience proves gold and

confused us. but their general use by lead

provide that compulsory silver coinage may
not disturb our monetary system by driving
either metal out Of circulation. A coined

equal to its debt paying power the world
over.

"The mitre, like the measles" it is said,
seems to run in families" in the Episcopal
Church. An exchange notes, in this con-
nection. that there were two brothers On
derdonk, bishops respectively of New York
and Pennsylvania. They were succeeded
BY two brothers Potter, one of whom pre-
sides over the ecclesiastical territory Of New
York. There were, until recently, two
Bishops Wilmer, of Alabama and Louisiana
and two Bishops Burgess, of Maine and IL
linois. And now the honor has fallen on
two brothers Paddock to watch over the
spiritual interests of Episcopaians in Mas
sachusetts and Washington Territory.
