fact has gradually given rise to legend to
account for the fact. It is pleasing story,
but there is no proof Of it whatever, and
there is almost conclusive proof to the con-

Hamlin also died on that day Nearly all
the presidents have lived to an advanced
age, as it Yves natural they should be men
of great vitality and temperate lives to at
tain the honor. john Adams was the old
est lacking but few weeks OF ninety-onc,
while, omitting Lincoln, killed at fifty-four,
and Garfield, killed within a few weeks of
fifty, the youngest dying was Polk at fifty
four
Another curious fact is that, including
the presidents of the senate who succeeded
to the functions OF the office, there have
been more vice presidents than presidents
to wit, thirty-four, though Clinton, Tomp-
kins, Calhoun and King each served in two
administrations.
From Adams the father to Adams the
son, as aforesaid, the inaugurations were
mild affairs, but jackson came in with
breeze, and the occasion was indeed breezy.
He set the example of taking the oath on
and delivering the inaugural from the east
front of the Capitol, and then, making all
reasonable deductions for the partisan spite
Of those who described it, the scene which
followed did indeed "beggar description"

whose second inauguratlons = Y AD1AA9
were celebrated with much display, though
it is certain that Cleveland's will soon fur
nish a fourth case, and notable one. In
truth, there are many things in the latter's
career which might justify little super
stition in his case. No other American,
save possibly Washington and jackson, has
had such an extraordinary personal tri
umph.
The selection of March was, as afore-
said, probably a sort of accident. On the
I'd of July, 17SS, the president of the Con
federation congress, then in session at New
York, notified that body that New Hamp-
shire had ratified the constitution on the
21st of June preceding, and as it was the
ninth state to do SO that instrument was
now by its own terms to become the SUI
preme law After prolonged debate con
gress on the 18th of September, 178S, passed
the following:
Resolved, That the first Wednesday OF Janu-
airy next Q7s0) be the day for appointing elect
ors in the several states which before the said
day shall have ratified the said constitution;
that the first Wednesday In February next be
the day for the electors to assemble In their re-
spective states and vote for president, and that
the first Wednesday In March next be the time
and the present seat Of congress the place for
commencing proceedings under the said con-
ssItution.
From this it will be seen that there was
exactly months time between each Of the
three very essential acts Of appointing elect

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura-
bic. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and pre-
scr1bed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
lnent, pronounced it incureable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
i. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful
1t acts directly of the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
1t fails TO cure. Send for circulars

recipe which he was not caring particu-

official Ia deep trouble he finally consented
to apply the remedy. Securing IA spool OF

One he tied around the neck Of the chief,
another down the back. and connecting the
one from the neck with that around the
waist, and fourth down his breast, con.
