entirely secondary cofrsfderarfon.
This was one of the first occasions
when there is any record of fireworks.
They were described as 'very magnifi-
cent" Eut there is no record of just
how much money was burned up on that
occasion.
In many later inaugurations the item
of fireworks declines, and in some cases
has been omitted altogether. The most
lavish display probably was at the sec
ond Inauguration of Cleveland, when over
5000 was spent
Naturally there is a great deal of inter
est in the two inaueurationS of Lincoln.
On the first occasion there was consider
able fear of assassination. It had been
reported that he was not to be allowed
to reach the Capitol alive.
There were 1000 soldiers in his escort
on the roofs of houses along the line of
march with orders to kill the first man
who made suspicious move.
No Attack on Lincoln.
AS a matter of fact the. day passed off
without the slightest unpleasant incident.
Nobody will ever know how much of this
serenity was due to the precautions that
were taken. 1t is significant thing. how
erer that Capt. Magruder. chief of Lin
coins personal bodysuard. went south the
next week and Joined the Confederacy
At the next Lincoln inauguration there
was less fear of covert violence Enemies
at that time We're mostly in the open and
had declared themselves either for the
north or the south. There was a com
paratively small military escort TO the
Capitol and the President stood with an
umbrella held over him and read his
inaugural address to the smallest assem-
bly, that had seen an Inauguration for
many terms.
1t was vile weather. rainy and dismal.
The avenue was not then what il is
now. There was a current joke at the
time about the army engineer CORPS TAX
ing SoundinSS for constructing u bridge
from the Capitol to the White House.
hut ii was said that the project was given
up because they could not find bottom for
the piers.
Another suggestion that was made at
the time was that the life-saving service
should guard the line of the curbstonc
ready to rescue anybody who fell over
board into the roadway.
The capital had not begun 20 develop
into the city beautiful at the time OF
Grants Inauguration. While there was
an immense crowd. there was little prep
aratiOn to care for it. This was the last

Very closely love and death dwell to-
gether-high up IN the world OF nature
and low down. The following well
authenticated story comes from North
amptonshire: spsrrow hawk was
killed when feeding her young. Four
days leter when the nest was exam
med it was found that the little male
bird, working alone fer the family,
had brought home fcrty-eight birds
viz, six larks, nine swallows. one bull
finch, seven robins. six spaFrOws, six
hedge spaFrows. nine blue tits, three
chafinches and one wren
What a spirit of dutifulness along
with ferccity is here exhibited on the
part Of the small widOwer hawk, who
evidently thought that the best way OF
respecting the memory OF lis departed
consort was 20 feed her children well!
And in doing this how absolutely OBJ
livious nature had rendered him OF
the feelings Of the poor larks. swaI-
lows, buHhnches and robins, whose

rha hnre Of Storms.

The waters of Cape Horn have never
been unYisited by storms for more
than a week or two at stretch within
the memory of man. Standing on the
outposts of the world, Cape Horn is
the meeting place Of ocean currents OF
very different temperature, from the
fey cold waters of the Antarctic drift TO
the warmth Of the Brazilian and Pc
ruvian return currents
The prevailing winds are from the
northwest and west, and these, com
ing from the warm regions of the Pa
cific, condense into fogs, which the
sailors call "Cape Horn blankets" and
which are the foEerunners Of storms.
The extremely low Level to which the
glaciers of TERRA del FueGo descend,
the perpetual cOngeIation of the sub
soil, the meeting Of conflicting winds
at very different temperatures, are all
direct or indirect causes combining to
make this the most constantly stormy
region of the world.
