How Jefferson Was Inauguration.

Thomas Jefferson was the first Pres
idsnt naugurated at Washington.
The city WAS then country village
scattered over and immense territory,
and Pennsylvania Avenue was a mud
dy country road. There WAS fence
about the Capitol grounds, and it is
said that Jefferson rode there ON horse
back and jumped from his horse and
tied him to the bars while he went up
to the big white building to be swron
in. He was dressed very plainly, and
only few friends accompanied him.
The Inauguration took place in what
was then the Senate Chamber--now
the Supreme Court room-and only
1900 people were present. OF these,
100 were ladies' As tl' President
elect came in the Senators stood up,
and Aaron Burr gave the Presidents
seat to Mr.. Jefferson. John Adams,
the retiring President, was not pres
ent. 1t is reported that he said he
did not propose to grace the inaugu-
ration Of the party that opposed him,
and that he left the White House on
the night OF tine Sd OF March at mid
night, and that before day he had de-
parted from Washington forever

COMET SPARKS.

To-day is Tcnnessees day at tho New

The Legislature has set March 25th
for the discussion of the Railroad
question.
There dos'nt seem to be much pros
pect of the Illinois Legislature choos-
ing Senator very soon.

hours.
Cleveland is the joshua of Democ-

Wasn't it Joshua that stopped the

1t will take quite while to make
the intended changes in Office. Office
seekers will have to learn the lesson
of patience.
Tha best of proof readers will occa-
sionally let an error slip. Not long
ago the Jonesboro Journal announced
in big letters that the Legislature was
passing pills as rapidly us possible
THE COMET some time ago appeared
saying that its "head swclls with emo

There will probablg be igg changes

officer has proved himself efficient
and has not prostitutcd his office tc

filled with large oak wardrOtes, in
which were dresses of all sorts, cloaks,
skirts, body linen, laces, piece goods.

for the hats, another for the shoes and
third for the furs; in one word it was

to resort to the embellishments of art
to heighten her beauty.
in the room Immediately above her
bed room and communicating with it by
means of the lift were four mannequins
of tho exact si:e and shape of her ma
.esty. When the dame 'dAtourS had
transmitted her orders through the
speaking tube, the dressing maids took
from the wardrobe al that was needed
for the toilette indicated, dressed up one
OF the lay figures, placed it on the lift
and sent it down to the bed room, so
that the empress couli see for herself
