The Centennial Work.

Philadelphia proposes building to cover
fifty acres of ground. The building used
by the London exhibition of 1869 covered less
than half this space, or 249 acres. To con-
struct this building, 1850 werkmen were en-
ployed for go weeks, and $780, in gold
were paid for labor directly to people engag-
cd i'll the structure. The building in Paris
used for the exhibition in 1857 covered 80
acres. Philadelphia proposes to erect one 80
per cent. larger even than this. The United
States has placed no money at the disposal of
the commissioners 10 take the initiaiory steps.
but the government does not stand behind
the schelne, as in France, ready to further
and foster every successive movement of the
managers. We must do the thing in our own
Republican way, and We will do 1t grandly
and we'll; but first we must act as united,
intelligent community, in which each mem
Der is fully informed as to ali the plans and
methods of action. Philadelphia, where
most of the materials are TO be purchased,
must furnish means necessary to take the pre-
liminary steps.

The survey for the proposed steamboat
canal across the State of. West Virginia,
uniting the waters of the James and Ohio
rivers, has been finished. Last winter Con-
gress made an appropriation of $50, 900 for
the purpose, and the engineers, who have ar
rived at Wheeling, report that it is practical
bic to construct canal 200 feet wide and
from the james and Jackson rivers to the
foot of the Allegheny Mountains, and thence
under the mountains, by tunnel nine miles
in length, via the Greenbriar, New and Kan
awha rivers, TO the Ohio. The estimated

Il A few days since dead pigeon lay In an
alley leading from the upper part of Halsey
street to stabl0.-.-Ons-by by --ons. his compan-
Ions came down from the Eoof and strewed
fbits OF apples, grain, etc. round the corpse,
in preparation, mo doubt, for the funeral.
The dlsconsolate widow stood mourning over
her lord in q very becoming manner. She
would not touch morsel of the dainty fare
placed before her but kept cooing sadly for
the loss of her mate. She wore her weeds as
awidow, should, without ostentation. Her
head was covered with black, a collar of the
ssame hue graced her beautiful neck, and her
poloaaiSe was of tile same funeral color. She
laid aher head down equietly iuponrh dead
mates breast, and the flock, out of respect
for her sorrow, withdrew. Then she retired
q few PAGES and fixed her bright, fearful eyes
tenderly upon the remains of her loved one.

at the corpse, and then at the fopplsh young

ANOTHER GREELEY STORY

Among the good stories told at the ex-
peIse of Mr.. Greeley's chirogrsphy is this:
Years ago when young man, he received
a poem from young lady in Vermont. he
strongly suspected that all poetry was nom
sense, especially if the lines did not square
at both ends, and as this particular poem
did not come up 70 his peculiar mechanical
standard for such literature, he threw 1t in
to the waste basket, and wrote to the author
that he thought she would do better TO mar
nv thu first honest man that offered her his
hand, and mend his hose and tend his
babies, than to rack her brain in tryiny TO
write rhymes that nobody would read. The
poor girl received the cruel letter, but could
not d"cipher only the writer's name. She
showed i to her mother, and she too was
uorp'Esed. A council Of inquiry was held
ever the strange document, which was final

District Attorney Farrow, introducing
the case, stated this was the first case OF the

he would nevertheless prosecute vigorously.
The decision IN the case is reserved untl
