Washington at his Inauguration.

From a profusely illustrated series of
articles on the Centennial of Inauguration
in the April Century we quote the follow
lug -
rWashingtou was dressed in a full suit
of dark brown cloth manufactured in Hart
ford with metal buttons with an eagle on
them, and 'wi'h steel hilted dress sword,
white silk stockings, and plain silver shoe-
buckles. His hair was dressed and pow
dered in the fashion of the daV and worn In
a bag and solitaire Chancellor Robert R.
Livingston, one of the committee of five to
draft the Declaration of Independence,
thirteen years before, was dressed in a full
suit of black cloth and wore the robe of Of
flee. Just before the oath was to be ad.
m'nistered it was discovered that no Bible
was in Federal Hall. Luckily Livingston,
a Grand Master of Free MasOns, knew that
there was one at st. Johns Lodge in the
City Assembly Rooms near by, and mes
senger was dispatched to borrow the Bible,
which is to day the property Of st Johns
Lodge No. /, the third oldest Masonic
lodge in the United States.
Secretary Otis of the Senate held before
him red velvet cushion. upon which
rested the open Bible of ST. Johns Lodge

of President nf the United States, and will,

piled Washington, 'that l will faithfully
execnte the Office of President of the
United States, and will, to the beat of my
ability preserve, protect, and defend the
Constitution of the United States. He
then bowed his head and kissed the sacred
Book. and with the deepest feeling uttered
the words, so help ma Gndr The Chancel-
Ior then proclaimed. Long live George
Washington, President of the United
Statesn The instant discharge of thirteen
cannon followed and with loud repeated
shouts and huzzas the people cried, God
bless nur Washington; long live our be-
loved Pfpsidentr The President bowed to
the people, and the air again rang with &C
ciamations. Washington, followed By the
company at the balcony, nov returned to
the Senate Chamber, where he took bis
seat and the senators and repT esentatives
their seats When Washington arose to
speak all stood and listened with eager
and marked attention.
After delivering his address, the Presi-
dent. accompanied by the VIce-President,
the Speaker, the two houses of Congress,
and all who attended the inauguration
ceremony, proceeded on foot to ST. Paurs
Church. The same order was preserved Es
in the procession from the Presidents S
house to Federal Hall. The military made
a good figure as they lined the street near
the church. The services in the church
were conducted by the Chaplain of the
Sanste. the Rt. Rev. DR.. Samuel Provost,
Bishop of the Episcopal Church of New
York.
"After prayers had been read and the
sTe DENIM sung, Washington entered the
state coach and was escorted home"

HarrisOn's Opinion of Southern Republic


Mr., Harrison is estoppcd by his own ac-
tion from condemuing the southern people
for not Trusting their local governments to
the republicans, If the s0ushera republi-
cans are competent to take charge of ,and
control the state, county aGd municipal gov
ernments of this section, surely they are
competent and worthy to hold some of the
responsible aud honorable positions under
the federal government. And if competent
and worthy to hold them, then it is unjust
and unfair to exclude them entirely, and
nothing but sactionalism can account for
such al exclsuiOn.
Now let US see how stands the record in
this matter under Mr.. Harrison's admins
tration. There are fourteen southern states,
or more than one-third of the total number
in the union. They furnish more than one
third IF the representatives in congress. In
population and wea lth they rank nearly as
high as'in number and representation, and
yet Mr.. Harrison has utterly neglected this
large section in the distribution of the high
est aud most responsible offices of the gov
ernmeut. On fair distribution she was
entitled to at least two positions In the
csbuer, yet sne got none. All the more
important foreign missions have been filled,
but the south did not get a single one. A
large number of appointments have been
made to honorable and responsible positions
in the departments at Washington, but no
southern man has been app 'inted.
Now why is this? Mr. Harrison must
have some reason for his action, aud the
only reason that can possibly justify him in
the urse he has pursued is to say that the
| member of his own party in this section
are not Competent or worthy to fill the posi-
tions mentioned. For If they are worthy
and competent, then they have been ex-
cIuded on sectional grounds, and no presi-
dent who was chosen to preside over the
whole country eau afford to confess that he
is controlled in his appointments BY sec
tiooal prejudices and preferences. Now, II
Mr. Harrison has not been able to tnd
single republican iu the whole south who
is dit to be- appointed to an important fed
eral position, surely be cannot blame the
southern people for refusing to commit their
state, county and municipal governments
into the hands of republicans. And IL Il
not to be believed that he will use the pow
ers of the federal government to make the
southern people do what he is not willing
to do himself-thst is to place the southern
republicans in power. The action of Har.
rison is the severest possible Judgment OF
the southern republlcans.-Roaroks Times.

I'm bet you four bits that can
prove to you that a pound of lead is
heavier than pound Of feathers, " said
the plumber.

The plumber cut off 4 piece of lead
pipe and pared It down until 1t weighed
sixteen ounces. Then lie got from the
upholsterer the same weight in feathers.

the lump of lead in his right hand and
the bag of feathers IN his left hand,
''let me drop the lead on your left foot
and the feathers on your right foot,
