The Presidents physicians do not oeec-
nv an eayiable position. They have been
ceasured severely by other physicians and
by a number ofthe journals ofthe country.
These believe that the bullet should have
been extracted at once. The extraction
Of bullets is the usual, and almost univer-
sal practice, We believe, but had al at
tempt to extract it been made, and the
President died under the operation, the
attending physicians would have been
censured probably more than they are at
present. Physicians in various parts Of
the country wonId have rushed into Print
with their opinions, aad would have al

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Ignoring the Attorney General-Pertinent
Questions.

Persons not informed of the fact, In
reading the proceedings of Gov. Hamil-
toms acourts" in Baltimore and Annapo-
lis, would suppose that Maryland had no
Acknowledgement. But such is mistake.
We have an Attorney-General, Hon. }.
NJ. Gwynn, and so able and efficient IS he
that he is now filling second term OF
four years, by the voice of large MAORI
ty of the citizens of the State. The office
was created by the constitution, just as
that of Governor was, and the same in
strument prescribes the duties of the oflce,
Tn substance, he is the legal advisor OF
the Governor, of the Legislature, OF the
Comptroller, of the Treasurer, and OF the
several States Attorneys. 1t is his duty
to furnish either Of these his opinion IN
writing, when requested, upon any ques-
ton arising under the constitution or laws
of the State. 1t has been customary for
all Of these, heretofore, to seek the advice
and counsel of the Attorney General when
donbts have arisen as to their duties and
unon points of law about which there have
been difference of opinion. However, His
Exeellency, the Governor, may regard the
Office Of Attorney-Gen as one ofthe use
less ones of the State he has so often com
planned of, and proposes to demonstrate
the fact by ignoring the AttOrney-Gencral
and relying upon his own legal knowledge
and the opinions of couple of attorneys
whose legal splendor, 50 far, has net dazzled
the world and caused all mankind to
wonder.
These .'trials" of registers of voters are
bringing up many interesting questions in
the public mind. 1t would be interesting
to know whether Messrs. johnson and
Findlay are performing labor Of love in
acting as Attorney Generals, or will they
receive their compensation out of the tx
ecutIye contingent Iuud '"es az ~
be paid out of said fund, the public would
like to know by what authority. 1t would
be interesting to know, also, what will re-
suit If the Governor should undertake to
remove the registers now being inves'isa-
ted. end they should refuse to Taeate, the
issue taken to the courts and the courts
should sustain the registers? In that
event, it is limited, that the Governor
would have been guilty Of a misdeneanor
in attempting to assume unwarranted
powers. The constitution, in such con-
tiugencies, grants certain powers to the
Legislature, and the Governor course IN
this and other matters may make it exPe-
dent to call such powers into action.

We excuse man for an OCCASION
al depression, just as we endure a
rainy day. But who could endure
three hundred and sixty-fve DAYS
of cold drizzle? Yet there are men
who are, without cessation, sombre
and charged with evil prognostica-
tons. We may be born with a
melancholy temperament, but
that is no reason why we should
yield to it. There is way of shut
fling the burden In the lottery OF
life there are more prizes drawn
than blanks, and to one misfortune
there are fifty advantages. Despon-
dency is the most improbable
teellng man can have. One good
laugh is bombshell exploding in
the right place, while spleen and
discomfort is gun that kicks over
the man that shoots it off. Some

denotes. Listen for sweet notes
rather than discords. In world
where God has put exquisite tinges
upon the shell washed in the surf,
and planted paradise of bloom in
a child's cheek, let us leave it to the
owl to boot, and the toad tocroak and
the fault-finder to complain. Take
outdoor exercise and avoidlate sup

finally drops into peevishness, and
people become waspish and I'M

II Can Take Care of Myself"

This is the favorite answer of the
heady, high-minded, and reckless,
who propose to disregard good coun-
sci and follow the devices of their
own hearts. A young man, when
warned against strong drink, says:
81 am able to take care of myselfW
But it is frequently the case that be-
fore the end of his career he needs
two or three policemen, a number
Of sheriffs, constables, lawyers,
judges, jailers, turkeys, and some
times hangman, to take care of
him. He is by no means as indie
pendent as he supposes.
A girl says, 81 can take care Of
myself" She goes from her quiet
home, plunges into the whirl of
some great city, spends every thing
she can earn for vanity and folly,
perhaps starves in a garnet or dies
Of consumption, when she might in
the quiet country home have lived
happy and useful woman, a bless
ing in the world, and blessed ard
honored by all around her.
II can take care of myselfp says
a business man, when, riding on 1he
tide of prosperity, he Expresses the
poor and treads down the needy !;
by and by financial troubles come,
he finds himself straitened and
borne down in the whirlpool of
bankruptcy and disaster, and all his
bravado is gone.
"No man liveth to himself"
Neither men nor women are able to
defy their fellows, nor to reject the
friendship or disregard the synpa-
thies Of their kind. We all of us
need something with which we
cannot supply ourselves. We are
dependent on others fora thousand
friendly offices; above all, we are
dependent on our God and Saviour.
1t is well for us to acknowledge our
dependence, and also to listen to the
counsels of those who advise US for
our good. He who claims that he
can take care of himself is very
likely to be poorly cared for, and to
require much more assistance than
others do who are less self-confdent,
and more willing to accept the
counsels of their friends.-1He Ap-

This poem might properly go in O, Legal

1t lineally must gravitate.
If but one heir, it will annex
To him or her, in spite of sex;
If there be more, as we'll there may.

The Indian Summer of Life.

In the life Of the good man there
is an Indian Summer more beauti-
full than that of the seasons richer,
SUMMER, and more sublime than
the most glorious Indian Summer
the world ever knew-it is the
Indian Summer Of the soul. When
the glow of youth has departed,
when the warmth Of middle age is
gone, and the buds and blossoms of
spring are changing to the sere and
yellow leaf; when the mind of the
good man, still vigorous, relaxes its
labors, and the memories of a we'll
spent life gush forth from their
secret fountains, enriching, rejoicing
and fertilizing; then the trustful
resignation of the Christian sheds
around sweet and holy warmth,
and the soul, assuming a heavenly
lustre, is no longer restricted to the
narrow confines of business, but
scars far beyond the winterof hoary
age, and dwells peacefully and
happily upon the bright spring
and summer which await within
the gates of Paradise evermore.-

The First Inauguration.

The Inauguration of Jefferson
and Burr, in 1901, was the first that
occurred in the city Of Washington,
then a morass on the banks of the
Potomac, with thirty or forty un-
finished houses scattered about in
it at long intervals; the Presidents
own house being still incomplete.
Mr.. jefferson could now with the
utmost propriety crafty his aver
sion to ceremonial. His son-in-law,
Mr.. John Eppes, had not yet arriv-
ed with his coach and four horses !;
splendid animals which cost sixteen
hundred dollars.
But if the President-elect had
had his coach, it is questionable
whether he would have ordered it
out for a ride Of two miles through
the deep and treacherous mud that
lay between the White House and
the Capitol. He went to his inau-
guration, as every one knows, on
horseback, in a dress of plain cloth,
without an attendant groom, and
fastened his horse himself to the
palisades surrounding the Capitol
enclosure. He did this not at all
from an affectation of Republican
simplicity, but simply as matter
of obvious convenience. Neither
his horses nor his servants had yet
arrived at the Capital. He had
been living at a boarding house
that winter and probably had only
that one horse with him.
This Inauguration was signalized
by the wise and noble address
which the President-elect delivered,
in which he endeavored to calm the
ferocity of party feeling by showing
how much all good citizens held in
common.
Aaron Burr shone on this occa-
sion. His beautiful daughter,
Theodosia, had a conspicuous seat
in the gallery, and so had her young
husband, Joseph Aston, Of South
Carolina. They had been married
a few weeks before at Albany, and
they had taken in Washington on
their way to Charleston, in order to
witness the Inauguration.
Col. Burr was a man of short
stature, but handsome, well-formed,
graceful in movement,
and of impressive, dignifed de-
He stood now at the high
est point of his career, honored by
both parties, andregarded by many |
as Mr.. Jefferson's natural successor |
in the Presidency.
How little didhis beautiful Theo- |
losia think, that within five years
rom that time she would receive
