This committee usual! 1 , has some correspondence with the president-elect to learn his personal wishes regarding the program. Nothing, however iu the form of an official state merit to the canvass of the 're¬ turns is sent to the president¬ elect. When the propel time comes Mr. McKinley, having read in the newspapers that lie has been elected, will go to Wash¬ ington. Hewiil call upon Presi¬ dent Cleveland. An hour later President Cleveland will call up¬ on Mr. McKinley These cairn will take place a day or two before the 4th of March. On the morning of the 4th Presi¬ dent Cleveland will come to the hotel again, take Mr. McKinley back in an open barouche be¬ hind four black horses, and ride with him to the senate wing of the capitol. There in the preisdent’s room the com. hiittee of arrangements will meet the president-elect and the president to escort them to the senate chamber. That will be the first official information Mr. McKinley will receive that he is to become president of the United States. All of the in¬ formation that he has bad to guide him up to that moment will have been derived from the newspapers. Ten minutes later Mr, McKinley will put his hand on the open Bible and be sworn by Chief Justice Fuller. That act will make him presi dent of the United States. Without a scrap of paper to show his authority, he will enter upon his duties as presi dent. The act of president Cleve¬ land in calling for Mr- McKinley and escorting him to the senate is one of courtesy only Presi dent Cleveland will learn that Mr. McKinley is to be the suc¬ cessor in the same way that Mr. McKinley will-tluough the newspapers, It is within the memory of many now living that a president declined to per¬ form this act of courtesy, and that a president-elect made his way alone to the capitol to be received by the senate and , sworn. President Andre w Johnson refused to go with Geu Grant. It seems singular that with all of the .elaborate program there should be no provision for an official notification of his election to the president-elect and that with all of the mony of inauguration there should be issued no commission no proclamation, to give official information of a change of ad ministration.—bt. . . , Q.

He argues; “This distinguish¬ ed patriarch seems to have been forgotten at the time, for no mention is made of him as one of the chosen few to enter the ark: and, on tho other hand, we are told that ‘every living creature perished without the ark, and every man.’ Now, Methuselah lived ‘nine hundred and sixty-nine years,’ and since lie had fully ten months of life left to him at the beginning of the flood, lie could have comple «*> hi! “ u Noah - birth> Methuselah g had full six hundred years to live. ‘In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life,’ ‘the win dows of heaven °i ,e,ied ’ and ‘ in the self same day entered Noah, and Shem and sons with them intotheark” Noah was there fore 599 years old when the flood began.

Methuselah must have therefore died during the inter val, and presumably he was buried; but, strange to say, nothing is said of this singular circumstance.” Don’t judge a man by what he says; wait till a moment, for action; dead limbs show, when the sap rises.
