PRESIDENT FOR \ DAY.
A Curious Complication which Arose
In the Year 1S4o.

In the Year 1S40.
Very few people know that a man
nrmed Atchison was once president of
tho United States, but such is the case,
says the Philadelphia Press. While
the oath Of Office was never admins
tered and he was not officially recog.
nized, David r. Atchison was for "a
hours virtually the chief executive Of
this nation.
March 4, l849, came on Sunday,
day that the constitution does not rec.
ognize as legal in the transaction Of
such official business as administering
the oath of Office. On that day at noon
President Folks term Of Office ended
and President Zachary Taylor could
not take his place or, at least, did not
think he could. The prospect Of the
country being without an official head
for "a hours, or there being doubt
about who would be the head, created
discussion in congress and in the press.
When General Taylor arrived in
Washington few days before his in.
auguration he was besought to take the
oath of Office on Sunday so as to pre-
vent confusion and what some persons
believed t. be danger, as those were
rather stirring times. During Satur-
day and Saturday night there were O
half-dozen fights in congress. The
capitol was a camp of violence, but
General Taylor held out that he would
not become president on Sunday.
David r. Atchison, of Missouri, was
president pro tempore of the senate
and it was held by congress that the
functions of president must devolvt
upon him from Sunday noon till Mon.
day noon and for these twenty-foul
| hours he had the distinction of being
president of the United States, having
all the functions and powers of thai
Office. The oath of the Office was not
administered to him for the same rea
son that it was not Immediately ad
ministered to General Taylor, but ht
being virtually vice president it wai
not considered necessary.
That Senator Atchison considered
himself president there can be NJ
doubt, for on Monday morning, whel
the senate reassembled, he sent to tn,
white house for the seal of the grea
Office and signed one or two officia
papers as president. These wer,
some small acts in connection with tn
Inauguration that had been neglected
by President Polk.

She Stops lis CRYING.

A woman doctor, who is the wife Of
q well known scientific man and ex-
plorer, has an original way of treat
ing her babies when they cry. Her
theory is that when screaming child
needs much more air for its lungs
than on ordinary occasions. Her
method of supplying it would not be
apt to find favor in the eyes Of less
scientific mothers She has a good
sized basket, so the story goes, and
when the baby cries it is placed in it
until it's screams cease.

WEE WEES STORY.

When l was very, very small, I was
owned by a very, very small boy. He
did not know how to take care of me,
and made my life wretched by his
mad pranka He would squeeze me
until l cried with pain, and when I
ran away to hide the nurse would find
me, and turn me again into the boys
torturing little hands. They often
forgot to feed me. SO that with rough
play and scnnt diet 1 got on badly.
One day the boy carried me into
the yard, and when dusk came he was
taken into the house, but I was for
gotten. The night grew black and
cold, and was terribly frightened,
but no one heard my cries. / crept
about until found myself in the
street, and for a long while I lay
curled up against lamp-post, half
asleep.
With the early dawn came q cold
rain, and my misery was complete
just then heard footsteps, and l be-
gan crying for help with the little
strength left in me. The steps halted,
and colored woman spoke to me:
where did you come from, poor.
wet little kitten?" She took me in her
hand and carried me to house where
she was cook.
I crept under the warm stove and
soon fell asleep.
Then voice woke me: "Well,
where did you get that miserable little
kitten?"
1 trembled all over, and felt that
my troubles were to begin afresh. !
peeped between my hands and saw a
very white lady talking to the woman,
who told how she had found me.
II don't want the kitten, the white
lady said. Don't you know what
house it was near, and can't you take
it back?"
mo, ma'am, there are lots of houses
about there. but that little thing was

The Perils of Pig Killing.

Peter Hofminister, a German farmer
residing in North Sewickley township,
undertook to butcher one of his fat hogs
the other day by shooting it with a
rifle. His aim was poor, and the ball, in
stead of striking the animal between
the eyes, missed the head entirely and
cut deep furrow along it's side. Crazed
with pain and fright the animal tore
around the back yard, pursued by Peter,
whooping and yelling like an Indian
and making frantic slashes at it with an
AK. The animal dashed into the door
of the kitchen and upset Mrs Hofmin-
lister, who was busy with her household
work The destruction so wrought so
aggravated Peter that he welted away
at the animal harder than ever. Round
and round the kitchen went the wound
ed pig and excited German. The latter
kept yelling to his wife, who had gained
her feet and snatched up rolling-pin
in the meantime to head him off; while
the pig kept up an uuearthly squealing.
Finally the hog, weakened by the loss
of blood, fell in corner, exhausted,
thus giving the farmer chance to cut
his throat. The kitchen after the battle
was over looked as though cyclone had
struck it. What the hog had failed to
upset in his wild race around the room,
the farmer, in his excitement, smashed
with an ak while slashing at the fleeing
pig. Several times his wife narrowly
escaped his plunges. Pittsburgh Com
