MARCH is not good date for the
inauguration. 1T is time for a
change" says the Washington Post.
1T is a national disgrace that the
change has not been made before.
Let the agitation begin at once-be-
gin with the incoming congress and
not cease until the possibility of an
other such experience as that of Sat
urday is made impossible so far as it
can be guarded against by human
foresight" Let us go back two or
even three months. There is neither
sense in nor necessity for making a
date later in the spring than
March, says another paper. When
the people give an order and
express their will in November their
mandate should be obeyed without
unnecessary delay. Let no discred-
tied congress assemble. Let the new
congress meet as soon as the presi-
dent is inaugurated. Stop the gap
between the Inauguration and the
meeting of congress.

A Kiss and a Fortune.

A report comes from Sydney that man
named George Winch has Just come into a
considerable amount Of property in a some
what remarkable manner. He has been
following the occupation of butcher for
some time, and it appears he recently took
the liberty Of kissing one of his customers,
a good looking girl who dealt at his shop.
She resented the aifront and had Winch
prosecuted for assault. He was fined heav-
lily by the local magistrate, and the case at
tracted much attention from the press.
The publicity given to the proceedings
happened to arrest the attention of u firm
If solicitors in Sydney who had been APP
pointed trustees of certain property which
hal been left to Winch by distant rela-

were unable to find any trace Of the heir.
Winch was communicated with by the
firm, and he has now furnished the history
of his antecedents and established his iden-
tity beyond a doubt.-New York Recorder.

General Spinola, like all great poker
players, used always to squeeze his hand
that is, arrange them SO that only the lndi'
Gators at the corners were visible But one
day at Saratoga the general was cured OF
the habit forever A straight was dealt t.
him pat. 1t consisted of the seven OF
hearts, and the four, five, six and eight OF
,padts. When the call for cards was made
two other players stood pat. The general
realizing that his hand as it stood was well
nigh hopeless, threw away his seven OF
hearts and drew one card. He mixed his
cards and glanced over the indicators. At
the corner OF the card he had drawn was a
figure seven and just below it IA spade. lie
had exchang Il simple straight for 4
straight flush The betting ran high. All
but the general and another player were
driven ont. Finally the other called.
-Four trays" he said.
1--WE got you beat" said the general
spreading his hand out on the table.
The other reached forward and looked
the generals hand over carefully. Hold
orr lie exclaimed excitedly, that hand
doesn't win a straight doesn't beat tours
not by jugfnl"
The general took look at the cards a.
they were spread ont, and there, instead Of
the seven of spades, he found the seven OF
clubs, although the indicator told him il
was the seven OF spades. How the mistake
could have happened was never explained.
Cards are printed on stOne--a whole sheet
of them at time. General Spin0la al
ways carried this card around with him,
aud many remember to have seen him ex-
hibit it after telling this story.-New York
