The ThOughtfulness of Wives.

You have probably noticed what q
thoughtful woman your wife is. She
never forgets anything, and when she
goes down cellar after an article she is
sure to bring up something beside that
she may need. She calls that "making
her head save her heels. Once in
a while she may neglect something, but
that is because she has so much on her
mind she can't think of everything at
once, and if some people had as much
to do and keep track of as she has, there
would be nothing done at all. After
she says this, it is time you either left
or busted yourself with something else.
We never knew man who continued
the conversation to appear satisfied
afterwards. She exhibits this thought
fulness in many ways, but more particu-
larly some night when you have just
got to bed, and neglected to leave a
match near the lamp. Then she starts
up with the exclamation 81 declare
forgot to set emptings tonight, and
there isn't only bread enough for break
fast" SO you get up, and skim around
for a match, and, after securing light,
accompany her to the kitchen, where
you hold the light while she goes
through with the operations required
in "setting emptings." And after you
have stood around in your bare legs foi

Shooting Game.

When we are allowing every one from
abroad to roam over our farms, shoot
our game, tear down fences, brighten
teams, and burn our grain, it is we'll to
see what they pay for this kind of sport
in other countries. An estate in the
English county of Norfolk, entitled
"Downham, which is famous for par
fridge and pheasant shooting, was sold
last year for S405,0 900. And, although
the land is so poor that it scarcely
realizes $1,000 year from agriculture,
a gentleman at once offered to "lease
the shooting" at $lO,0 year and a
few months ago the Earl of Derby of
fered the present owner $500, 600 for the
property. A barren Scotch island, only
valuable for the shooting it affords, has
lately been sold by Lord Dunmore for
$500. 600.

THE AERONAUT.
by ELIZABETH SILL.

Thu airy bark, its master waiting,
swings restless on an airy main,
An |, wide its silken sails initiating,
Pals at the anchoring chain.
On yiewless pillows lightly swaying,
III pants 10 cleayc the sOundless deep,
Aud, its high impulse allowing,
Through heavens wide blue 10 sweep.
Like eagle proud, whose mighty pinion
Fetters may bind, but cannot tame,
Ceaseless 1t chafes against dominion,
Ceaseless its upward aim.
And he on this strange voyage starting,
Lone wanderer of the trackess height,
What but the spirits latest parting,
Can match this daring flight?
He 10 no shores his course is bending,
No busy ports before him rise;
He floats upon a sea urcndinC,
The sailor Of the skies
sea whose cliffs, now dark and beaming,
Each veering zephyr builds or mars,
Bridged by an arch of scyentold cleaning,
Aud Islanded with stcrs.
From his aerial watch beholding,
As like leahet il whirled,
Silence and space alone enfoldlng,
He sees this distant world.
He sees confused the hills and valleys,
Dwinded and shrunk the ample plains,
The ocean but sapphire chalice,
The rivers silver veins.
The winding course of linked sierras,
Like some huge serpent's uncoiled rings
And, swooping from the rocky terrace,
The cataract's sunlit wings.
To him vast towers and cities splendid,
Column and dome majestic piled,
Are glittering spots, uncertain blended
The playthings OF a child.
He sees the storms beneath him gather,
Watches the wrinkled ightnings fall,
And, canOpied in cloudless ether,
Rise high above them all.
A speck amid the light eternal
As mp the crystal dome be flies,
Well might il seem the path supernal,
That leads to Paradise.

Longest to soar at liberty,
Soon shall thy powers be unrestraiued,
And thou at length be free.
And when, no longer here enshrouded,
But bathed in the empyrean clear,
Thou lookest back f. N heights unclouded,
On this thy morta. sphere,
Its scenes no longer shall allure thee,
It's faded joys no more invite;
Far, far beneath, the storm-clOuds fury;
Above, the perfect light.

Congress has declared bylaw ''that the'United
States shall not be liable for any expenses at
tending such exposition or by reason of the
same" The expenses, therefore, fall upon the
States and their people. Pennsylvania being
most interested in the profits of the exposition
is most interested in its success. and we pre-
sumo that her sister States will await some
further action on her part before pro-
ceeding to consider their appropriations
respectively. The plan of individual sub
scriptions cannot be relied upon. The expo
sition if possible, should be made joint
stock affair of the States and Territories, and
each State and Territorial Legislature should
put in it's subscription in its behalf
However, as the members of the Ma
tional Commission, embracing representa-
tive and an alternate from each State and Ter
ritory have been selected with especial refer
ence TO their fitness for the work in hand, they
will probably prove equal to the great and i'm
portant task they have assumed They have
plenty of time for their work and there will
be no necessity for exposition buildings cost

Americans have, no doubt, wondered Mt the
delirium of happy excitement which is shown
by our English cousins over the visit of the
Persian Monarch True to our nature, we
have guessed at its cause, and given it up as
an unanswered conundrum. At last we have
the riddle solved. 1t is not the glitter of the
Oriental's diamond star, as big as Mark
Twains hand; not the fact that on ancestors
sword, eighty years ago, won the sceptre over
the Persian fire worshippers and disciples of
Mohammed, and lodged himself and his sons
in the throne filled long ago by Xerxes, by
Cyrus and by Darius, SO that the august visi-
tor from the East may write himself King Of
Kings; not his absolute sovereignty and
practical ownership of his ten million sub
jects, as well as their lands, their flocks and
their herds; not even the loveliness of his
three hundred and fifty-two wives left at home
in distant Tehenn. None of these things,
though of themselves sufficiently capable of
inspiring admiration and satisfaction, COM
pare with the magnifcence of the list OF royal
and distinguished personages who accompany
His Majesty the Shah, and reflect glory upon
the Western barbarians by their presence A
careful perusal of the high-sounding names,
which are given in another part Of to-day s
HERALD, is about the only satisfaction America
can extract from this momentous state visit.

important Movement for n BIRTHS
Railway system In China.

Through special HERALD despatch from
London we learn that private meeting has
been convened at Stafford House for the
purpose of promoting railway enter
prises in China-that it is in contem-
plation to furnish a free gift rolling
stock sufficient to equip ten miles
of railway as an inducement, by practical
experiment, to the Chinese Emperor to sane
ton the construction of network of rail-.
roads through his dominions, and that
abundance of capital can be commanded for
the work. The committee on the subject are
to call public meeting under tho auspices of
the Lord Mayor of London.
The importance Of this scheme will be
readily appreciated if considered in connec-
ton with the British railway project for con-
Meeting the Mediterranean with the Persian
Gulf by way of the Euphrates River and with
Baron Reuter- Persian railway contracts, and
with the British railway system of Hindostan.
Taking all these grand schemes and systems
together, they simply look, first, to the
control and absorption Of the trade of
the whole of Asia south of the Russian
Empire, and to a strong political foothold
from Asatic Turkey to India on the west,
and from the Pacific Ocean to India on the
east, against any grasping designs or sup
posed hostile designs of Russia. But, whether
by England or Russia, the building of extern
sive railway lines in Asia, east or west, will be
for the general benefit of mankind, and so we
wish success to all such enterprises

method of dealing with the danger is to close

son. His rugged, imperious, honest, frank
nature made that name pleasing legend in
our history. And men will honor him for his
war upon a gigantic corporation like the
National Bank, for his firInness WITH Louis
Philippe, and his resolution in dealing with
South Carolina and notification, who for
get that he dissolved bis Cabinet because the
wives of some of his Ministers would not
share his views about noted lady in the cap
ital, and was with the utmost difficulty dis
suaded from cutting off the ears OF Henry Clay
for criticising him in the Senate.
The party which Jackson disciplined and
inspired only went down under the guns of
the civil war. That period we typify in the
person of Lincoln-following as we do, the
fancy men have for representing every period
by its hero. SO Lincoln will always be the
type of that tremendous time. He did not
live to complete his work. Mr.. Johnsons add
ministration was almost pro-slavery restora-
ton while all the merit that General Grant
can claim is the fidelity with which he has fol-
lowed the DRIFT of Lincoln's policy. 1t was
only as Mr.. Johnson swayed from that policy
that he brought defeat and almost destruction
upon himself. BY General Grants course he
has carried the country. The belief which
the anti-slavery fame of Greeley, Chase, Sum-
ner and others could not destroy-that the
overthrow of General Grant would in
some way revive the rebellion-gave
the President his extraordinary success

The Philadelphia Centennial Exposi-

tiOn-The Presidents Procla ma ton.
Yesterday they had more GLORIOUS
Fourth than usual in Philadelphia, in con-
sequence of the legal formalities of turning
over from the State and city authorities to
the National Centennial Commission the
grounds for the necessary buildings for an
International Industrial Exposition in said
city, in the year 1876, in commemoration of
the one hundredth anniversary of the indie
pendence of the United States of America.
The grounds selected for this exposition
are in Paramount Park, within the cor
porate limits of Philadelphia, and
more beautiful situation could not be desired.
Under the act of Congress, approved March 3,
1871 it is provided that, whenever the Presi-
dent shall have been informed by the Gov
ernor OF Pennsylvania that provision has been
made for the erection of suitable buildings for
the purpose, and for exclusive control by the
National Commission, it is made the duty of
the President to make proclamation of the
same, setting forth the time at which the expo
sition will be opened and the place at which
it will be held, and to furnish copies of the
proclamation and the regulations of the Com
missioners to the representatives of foreign
countries.
In compliance with the aforesaid law of
Congress-the conditions laid down having
been fulfiled-the proclamation of the Presi-
dent on the subject is made, and was read in
the course of the proceedings of this Philadel-
phia meeting Of national, State and municipal
officials yesterday, at which Secretary Robson
represented the President The exposition is
to be opened on the 18th day of April 1876,
the day of the first conflict of arms 1775, at
Lexington, Mass, between the British and
Americans in our Revolutionary War, and the
exhibition is to close on the 10th day of Octo-
Der (the day of the surrender of CORVALLIS at
Yorktown, Va, 1781), which secured our
national independence on the broad platform
of the great Philadelphia Declaration of 1776.
In thus adopting the time for the opening
and the closing of this centennial celebration
the two important events of the beginning
and the end of our revolutionary struggle are
appropriately chosen, and from April to Octo-
Der there will be abundance of time for all the
purposes of the exposition In the next place,
as nearly three years of time are still given for
the erection of appropriate buildings and oil
the needful preparations for the exposition,
and as the National Commissioners will have
the experience of all the worlds fairs
of the last twenty-five years to guide
them in their popular undertaking, we
can hardly doubt that they will make our

THE DANGER OF Wet CoAL.-Peo-
pie who prefer wetting the winters
store of coal to lay the dust on putting
it into their cellars, do not, perhaps,
know that they are laying up for them
selves a store Of sore threats and other
evils consequent upon the practice
Even the fire damp which escapes
from the coal mines arises from the
slow decomposition of coal at temper
atares of but little above that of the
atmosphere, but under augmented
pressure. BY wett'ng mass of fresh
ly broken coal, and putting it into
warm cellar, the mass is heated to such
degree that carbureted and sulphur
cited hydrogen are given off for long
period of time, and pervades the when
house. The liability of wet coal to
misc!ievous results, under such cir
cumstances, may be appreciated from
the fact that there are several instan-
ces on record of the spontaneous COM
bustion Of wet coal when slowed into
the bunkers or holds of vessels. And
from this cause, doubtless, many mis-,
sing coal vessels have persisted.
