why Foreign weeds Flourish Here.

Why should it be that plants of an
other country not only find their way
here, but after arriving assert them
selves with vigor far surprising our
native herbs1 DIR. Gray, in writing upon
this point says, Gas the district here in
which the weeds of the Old World pre-
vail was naturally forest clad, there
were few of its native herbs which. if
they could bear the exposure at all,
were capable of competition in the
cleared land with emigrants from the
Old World"
The European weeds had through long
ages adapted themselves to the change
from forest to cleared land, and were
therefore prepared to flourish here in
the rich forest soil that was suddenly
exposed to the sun and subjected to 9th

PRECEDENTs.

Up to the beginning of the Fortieth
congress six instances are Of record
whereby special legislation of its prede-
cessor the first session of new congress
was convened az an earlier date than
that fixed by the constitution. For ex-
ample, the first session Of the Thirteenth
congress met on the Gath of May, 1918,
by Virtue of an act of the Twelfth con-
gress Of the 9th OF February proceed
ing.
a more recent precedent, growing out
of the memorable contention between
President johnson and congress, is found
in the act of Jan. %, 1867, passed By the
Thirty-ninth congress, which provid-
ed that in addition to the regular
times Of meeting, there should be meet
ing Of the Fortieth congress, and of each
succeeding congress thereafter, on the
4th day of March, the day on which the
term begins for which the congress is
elected, and three consecutive congresses
so met, without call by the president.
The first session OF the Fortieth congress
lasted 20 days, of the Forty first, IS days,
and Of the Forty second, AZ days. The
act authorizing these sessions was re-
pealed April 20, 1871.
There were special public exigencies
thai were supposed to warrant these
early sessions.
