INAUGURATION DAY.

In connection with the popular but
evidently mistaken idea that the 4th |
OF March was selected as Inauguration |
day because il occurred lees frequently
on Sunday than any other day in the |
year, it may be well enough to call at
tention 10 the manner in which the
original selection was made.
When the constitutional convention
finished its laborers In Philadelphia,
il September, 1887, the text Of the
constitution was transmitted by George
Washington, president OF the conven-
ton, TO Congress, then in session at
the City of New York 1t was referred
by congress to the several states, and
on the I'd OF July, l7Ss, the president
ot congress reminded that New Hamp-
shire had ratified. and that it was the
ninth state, and, therefore, sufficient
for the esta blishment OF the constitu
ton between the states ratifying
whereupon committee was appointed
to examine the different acts OF ratifi-
cation and report an act to congres,
for putting said constitution into op
Grafton" After prolonged debate
congress, on the 18th OF September
1888, passed the following:
Resolved, that the first Wednesda,
of January next Q7S9) be the day 70
appointing electors in the severa
states, which before the said day shall
have ratified the said constitution; tina
the first "Wednesday in February mex
be the day for the electors TO assembl
an their respective states and vote fo
president, and that the first Wedne,
day in March next be the time, and IL
present seat of congress the place, I,
commencing proceedings under th
said constitution.
From this it will be seen that Their
was exactly month between each
three very essential acts Of appoin
ing electors, assembling the electo
in their several states, aud "con
meneing proceedings" As matt

month, and while the president W
not inaugurated on that day, owing
the absence Of quorum of congrc'
the proceedings began by meeting a
adiourning from day TO day.
The first president was inaugural
on April 90, 1859, and three years
terward in March, 1892, law "
passed (Sec. 152, X. $. TO the eff,
that the term Of four years OF /
president and vice-president shall

this it will be seen that the 4th
March was not selected ior any espec
reason.

AN EARLY START.

Nahum Makes 1t on One Occasion with
Vengeance.
Early rising was a frequent subject
of contention between Nahum Briggs
and his wife Her ability to wake in
season for an ''early start was a ques-
ton often mooted by Nahum, and the
result was that all responsibility o;
waking fell upon him. So it CHANGED
that one night, when it seemed to Mrs.
Briggs as if her tired eyes had but just
closed. Nahum spoke up briskly:
Come, Lucy, come: time ter git up.
It's all habit sleepin' SO much. The
roosters are CROWN in good shape"
His wife rubbed her heavy lids and
rose reluctantly. The clock had
stopped, but Nahum said it was nearly
six, for there was a light in "Bunker's
shop" and he usually opened the store
at that time.
Soon the kettle was steaming cheeri-
ly, aud while breakfast was being pre-
pared Nahum took his lantern and went
out to do his chores He had watered
and led his stock, and returned to eat a
hearty morning meal.
Then they sat down to wait for the
first streak of dawn, but after an hour
it seemed, if anything. darker than be-
fore.
''Ain't it terrible long comm light,
think?' asked Mrs. Briggs, as to a carp
ing judge.
''Oh, I'm used ter bein' up to greet the
day." shifted Nahum. Il guess the sun
will be round on time"
Soon his wife looked out again.
For the love of John Turner she
exclaimed. Bunker has put out his
light an is goin' home. Do go out an
hail him. an find out what time it is
''It's day time, | tell ye," said Nahum,
but he went out and hailed his neigh
Dor.
II dunno exactly" said Mr.. Bunker.
with some moderation. "but when I
shut up shop think it was bout ten
o'clock
Then Nahum came in and shut the
door.
While Mrs. Briggs prepared for
second nights rest, he wound the clock
and set it. She noticed that he took a
decided comfort in winding it more
vigorously than seemed quite necessary.
