The Centennial.

The following is President Grants
message to Congress upon the sub
ice, Of the Centennial Exposition:
To tie Senate and Honss Of Repressn.
t1t:rs: have the honor herewith
70 submit tie report OF the Centen.
NAL Commission, and to add word
IN way Of Recommendation. There
have now been international exposl.
t.ons held by three of the great pow
ora OF Europe. 1t seems fitting that
rendence should BE- NAKED BY an
event that will display to the world
the growth and progress Of a nation
devoted to freedom, and to the pur-
suit of fame, fortune and honor. by
lowest citizen as well As highest. A
failure in this enterprise would be
deplorable. Success can be assured
by arousing public opinion to the
importance Of tho occasion. To Sc.
cure this end, in my judgment, Con
gressional legislation is necessary to
make the exposition both national
and international. Tho benefits to
be derived from successful interna.
tional exposition arc manifold. It
will necessarily be accompanied by
expense beyond tho receipts from
The exposition itself, but they will be
compensated many fold by the COM
mingling Of people from all sections
J. 81 our own country, by bringing to-
gether people OF different matte nall
ties, and by bringing in juxiarrcsltlon
for ready examination our own and
foreign skill and progress in manu-
features. agriculture, art, science and
civilization. The reelection OF the
site for exposition seems to DO ap.
propriate, from tho fact that 100
years before the date fixed for the
exposition, the. Declaration Of INDIE
pendence which launched as into the
GALAXY OF nations as an Independent
people emanated from the same spot.
We had much 10 our varied climate,
soil, mineral products, and skill OF
which advantage can DO taken by
other nationaiities to their profit
In return they will bring to our
shores works Of theirskill, and fami.
liarize our people with then, 10 the
mutua! advantage Of ell parties
Let ~ make complete success Of
our Centennial Exposition, or sup
press it 10 its 'inf1Dcy, acknowledge
ing our liabilities to give it the in
ternational character 10 which our
sclt,esteem aspires.

How q Fortune is Made Through
Buying and Selling Pennies.
Prom the New York Sun. Sd.
There Is a man in this city who is
amAssing handsome fortune by buying
and selling pennies, two and three cent
pieces and five.cent nickels. In many Of
the newspaper offices, news depols, ferry
offices, retail houses where cheap goods
are sod, bakeries and other places, the
accumulation Of small coin very often be.

can not be disposed Of, for coin is so
plenty that customers object 10 fading it

business houses where II Is needed the
regular sources Of supply arc always
ample. The coin might be sent 10 the
Philadelphia Mint for redemption, but
the requirements oil the redemption de-
psrtment arc always enough 10 discourage
any business man. To send pennies to the
Mint they must first be sorted and wrap

prescrioes that the coins shall be packed

sender's expense. AS coins are heavy.
the cost Of transportation Is considerable.
The officials count the money at their
leisure, and sometimes the sender does
not hear from his conslgnmentin nearly

ilr that length OF time This combina-
ton Of vexatiOns details prevents those
who have an accumulation OF coin from
