his W pocket, and that he would
send a check for the amount to the
treasurer of the County Hospital.
This well-tiined generosity settled
the question OF Mr.. Boldon's popular
ity. The Ladies' Committee of the
hospital nominated him at once as
one OF their male advisers, and his
name was put on tine list Of life gov
ernors. The amateur dramatic and
choral societies sent him tickets for
their entertainments, given for the
benefit of charity, The Westboroueh
Independent printed in a prominent
position the letter OF the hospital
treasurer gratefully acknowledging Mr..
Boldon's munificent gilt, and added a
few Mandatory words OF his own.
Finally, after a pleasant little supper
IN Mr.. Boldon's lodgings, there APP
peared the following paragraph in
that excellent organofpublic opinion:
eve have heard it rumored lately
that a few OF u mor prominent
townsmen have been talking OF ac-
cording to Mr.. James Boldon, solicit
or, q substantial mark Of their APP
probation OF his public-spirited be-
havior in a late trial, and of his dis
interested conduct in handing over
the fruits of his victory to one OF the
most deserving of our local charities.
We have heard it whispered that w.
H. Bracebridge, esq, j. p. who has
already publicly expressed hissympa.
thy with Mr.. Boldon and Algernon
Tracey, esq.,, the treasurer to the
Daleshire County Hospital, have ex-
pressed some intention Of heading the
subscription list. We give this to
our readers with all possible reserve,
bat we have no hesitation whatever
in saying that such conduct on the
part of thegentlemen we have named
would reflect honor up on themselves,
and would not be wanting in appro-
priateness, as the names OF both Of
these gentlemen have been associated
with the public vindication OF Mr..
Boldon's honor. Our readers may de,
pend upon our keeping them acquaint.
ed with the progress OF events"
This promise was so faithfully car
ried out and the proposed testimoni
al was so thoroughly taken for grant
ed that Mr.. Bracebridge and Mr.
Tracey found themselves compelled
to take the honorable place which
had been assigned to them. Thu
mark OF esteem took the form OF 6
purse OF sovereigns, which reached thu
respectable figure OF one hundred
pounds.
A dinner was held as a matter o
course, to celebrate the event, anc
the presentation was made in proper
form. Mr.. James Boldon returned
thanks with a becoming modesty, de
claring with some humor that NOR,
by far than even their generous gift
did he value the happy consciousness:
that his humble efforts in the publ,
service had been appreciated, that HI
had gained the good will OF his neigh
bors and that he was now no longel
a stranger in their midst but one o
themselves, a Westborovian to tn
backbone, accounting the esteem anc
respect of his fellow-citizens his rich
est possession.
In this Mr.. Boldon was perfectl,
right. Clients came in apace. H,
had got his name up for good
Whitehall Review.

building at Austin, some of the larg-

the day, for setting the new govern
ment in operation. Owing to lack OF
facilities for travel and the indifference
of the people quorum of the two
houses was not obtained till April @ to
count the electoral votes. Further time
was consumed in arranging the forms
and methods of the ceremony, 50 that
the oath of Office was not Administered
to President Washington till April 30,
1850. But the 4tb of March remained
as the initial period, and the terms be.
ing fixed by the Constitution the date
can only be changed by amendment,
and not by law. The human mind is
pleased with anniversaries and the
proposed change appeals to the imag-
inntion with much force, rs sug-
gestcd in the preamble; but there
are many substantial reasons for
its adoption. 1t will diminish the
intcrregnum of nine months, between
March 4 and the first Monday In De-
cember, during which Congress is not
organized. twill also add two months
to the closing session of every Congress,
which now ends March 4, crowding all
The business of each alternate year into
about seventy days, with great detri
ment both TO the character and the
amount of legislation. II will give II
longer interval for the subsldence of
popular excitement after each PIesi
DENTAL election, and afford the Pfesi-
dent greater opportunity for recovery
from the fatigues of the campaign, for
deliberation in the selection of his
Cabinet and the determination Of his
policy. 1t will contribute largely TO
the public health, comfort, convenience
and pleasure. The Inauguration of our
Presidents is the national occasion for
imposing pagcantry, parade and de.
monstration. The tendency to display
increases with our population and with
the enlarged facilities for reaching the
Capital. 1t has valuable uses and should
be encouraged. For these purposes
no time could be so unfavorable as the
18th of March in Washington. II is
neither winter nor spring. The weather
| Is usually inclement, clustering and
harsh. 1t is said that President Uar-
rison died from cold contracted by cX-
posure on the day be was inaugurated.
Those who remember General Grant,
as he stood bareheaded on the eastern
porlico on the 4th of March, 1878, de.
livering his second inaugural in furi.
GUS northern blast, with the tcmpera-
turc nearly at zero, will need no other
argument for the change of date.
Hayes and Garfield were not much
more fortunate. Cleveland happened
to have a sunny, vernal day, but 1t was
the only one of the entire season. The
80th of April finds spring we'll advanced
in this latitude, and the landscape wears
its most enhancing aspect The tu
multuous splendors of Inauguration at
