Itwou.d seem to be.necessary, only, to call at
tention to the advertised concerts at Lincoln
Hall by this powerful combination Of the world e
choicest musicians; for they need no personal
mention, each IL 30 well known to Washington
and the world A like combination has never
before graced any stage In Washington. To
have works Of the best composers Interpreted
by such grand artists Is privilege not often
enjoyed. As it is their last appearance in Wash
fngton for the season, IL viii be well to secure
seats early, for II Is certain that there will be
not even standing room on the evenings Of the
performance.

TO act promptly. Lieut.. johnson then dis

THE McKeon Miner notices the
closing exercises of Miss Ella Cary's
school thus:
The school is small, but Miss G.. had
spared no pains in drilling and other
wise preparing details and had select
ed her pieces and arranged their or
Ger with admirable taste, many of
them being entirely new. A large
audience was entertained for three
hours by dialogues, declamations,
songs and tableauX, rendered with
appropriate costumes and in a style
q larger and more advanced school
might be proud of.
The teacher made an eloquent clos
ing address to her pupils, who sur
prised her with a handsome gift as a
testimonial, and the Co. Supt. closed
with few practical remarks to the
children and merited compliment
to the exercises and the energy and
ability shown by the teacher in pre-
pairing and conducting them.

SENATOR MCCLURE, in recent in
terview with Herald correspondent,
sums up his views of the political
situation as follows: sits (the Dem
ocracy) relapse in New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio into the brambles
and swamps where it foundered in
perpetual defeat for nearly half a gen
Grafton, leaves no logical and hopeful
organization opposed to Grant. Had
peoples conventions been called in
the great Middle states on liberal,
advanced platform looking to state
regeneration, part of the work of 1876
would have been done this year. But
with blind adherence to the Democrat
ic organization when it cannot win a
Northern state and its, name is un-
known in the Southern states, the fol-
ly of the movement must be apparent
to every rejecting mind. The Libe-
raj organization was an experiment.
1t failed. and now, with Democracy.
belongs to the rubbish of the past.
But the movement inaugurated at
Cincinnati and the principles there
declared will command the earnest
approval of large majority of the
people of this State and of the Union
before the next Presidential election.
| see no hope for any change in Penn
sylvania this year. Our Constitu-
tional Convention failed to discharge
its duty, or we should have had re-
peating and ballot-stuffing broken up.

Bursting OF the Graphic" Balloon

Bursting OF the Graphic" Balloon.
The imitation of the Graphic bal
loon for the proposed trip to Europe,
at the Capitoline Grounds, Brooklyn,
was begun at three o'clock Friday
morning and continued until four
in the afternoon. Thousands Of per
sons visited the grounds and waited
to see the proposed ascension. Pro
fessOr Wise arrived at about ten
O'Clock with his son Charles, who
was ordered out of the inner enclo-
sure containing the balloon by Chas.
Goodsell. This led to an alteration
between Mr.. Goodsell and the elder
Wise, which terminated in a private
conference at the ticket office. Pro
fessor Wise left the grounds after pre-
dieting, it is said, that the bolloon
would not stand the strain of inha-
ton.
At four o'clock, when the amount
of GAS forced into the balloon amount
ed to 100000 cubic feet, three rents
suddenly appeared in the great bag,
running from the valve at the top to
the bottom. and in a moment the
whole structure had collapsed. The
disappointed spectators then gradu-
ally left the grounds
w. ii. Donaldson attributes the
bursting of the balloon to a strong
gust of wind, which struck the upper
part of the globe when it was nearly
full, and also to the improper man
ner in which the balloon was fastened
to the ground, from which the break
ing Of the netting resulted. The
damage done cannot be repaired, but
he says that the Messrs. Goodsell,
Immediately after the accident, offer
ed to begin the construction of silk
balloon if re would try to reach Eu-
rope in it, and he had gladly accept,
ed the offer.
Professor Wise publishes a card in
which he defends his theory of the
easterly air current, and announces
his readiness to start for Europe al
any time in gas-tight silk balloon
Such a balloon, he says, was prom.
ised to him by the Graphic Compa
ny, but was not furnished; that sup.
piled being rotten cotton structure
which was manufactured without re-
gard to his advice. He also censures
attempts to turn great scientific
experiment into an enterprise fol
money getting.-EUeni'ag Post.

THE Constitutional Convention re-
sumed its session on Tuesday, the
10th, and chose Hon. John A. Walk
er, of Erie, as President in place of
Hon. William Morris Meredith, de-
ceased.
Appropriate eulogies were pro
nounced and tokens Of respect paid
to the departed presiding officer, who
is very sincerely lamented.
Mr.. Woodward withdrew his ten
der of resignation made on July I'd.
The Philadelphia Press says:
Immediately after the adjourn
ment a meeting of the delegates-at-
large. to whom the duty of filling
the vacancy had been referred, was
held in one Of the committee-rooms
adjacent to the hall. Hon. Morton
McMichael, of Philadelphia, was
unanimously chosen to succeed Mr..
Meredith as a member Of the Con
vention.

1t is to be hoped therefore that all our
citizens willcomeforward with theirpro-
ducts of the soil, their stock, and what
ever they may have produced by their
skill or industry, both of the useful and
ornamental, and give us an exhibition
that all may be proud of.-Gdzette et

These words apply as well to our
own Fair as to the one that called
them forth. Our County is making
its first effort for several years to
hold an agricultural and industrial
exhibition, and we hope the number
and zeal of those who are present,
and who strive to excel in the vari-
Gus departments of science and in
dustry, may be such as to give prom
ise of a still better display and in
creased interest another year.

No doubt this mans judgment is
correct and the school IS the best that

EXTRAORDINARY CATTLE SALE At
UTICA.-An immense sale of cattle
took place week before last at Utica
at which the entire herd of Short
Horned cattle owned by Samuel
Campbell, of New York Mill, was
sold at auction. Buyers were pres
ent from England, Canada and all
parts Of the United States. One
hundred and fifteen cattle were dis
posed of, the total receipts being
about S3S0,000. The highest figure
was $4,000. This bid was made by
Mr.. p. Davis. of Worcestershire,
England. $4,000, $25, ,000 and $20,-
O00 were bid for single COWS. One
seven months old calf sold for $z7.-
600 and another for $4,000. This
sale is probably the largest on record.

surprises that seize us when We meet
old acquaintance, or when we first
realize that the children are grown
up, or that some one whom we have
always considered young people have
attained to the dignity of spectacles
and gray hair.
Sometimes these surprises come
with a ludicrous coloring, as though
our friends were masquerading in
their added years, when critical
glance at a mirror might show some
laughable masquerading quite as
plainly. But too often sadder feel
ing prevails. We see the seriousness,
the reality of the changes, and they
bring often a strong shock at the re-
minder of what we know perfectly
well and vet had allowed ourselves
entirely to forget. The first white
showing in the brown beard, the first
crows feet near the bright young
eyes, the first strong lines that show
that the nose is losing its contour
come with great force to our con-
sciousness when they occur in the
companions of our young days, but
how much more when they begin to
show in those who have been child
ren around our feet-brightened our
declining years and now begin to
show the heavy hand of Father Time
themselves.
But the happiness of it all is that
we are ripening together for the new
beginning and the better life, where
crows feet and gray hairs shall not
come.
