THE bill appropriating S3,ooo'ooo
to the centennial celebration was re-
,ected in the House at Washington
last week, by vote of 92 yeas to
l3s NAYS. A motion to reconsider
was afterwards carried by majority
of two votes, but we judge that all
hope of an appropriation from the
National Treasury is gone. In view
of this fact, we do not believe that a
sum commensurate with the wants
of the projectors Of the exhibition
can be raised, and We hope, therefore,
that Governor Hartranft will with
hold his signature from the bill pass
ed by our State Legislature approprl-
ating $1,000 900 to this project. II
the National Treasury could not af-
ford to spend three millions for this
purpose, certainly our State Treasury
can lily afford to spare one-third Of
that sum. The times are not propl'
tious, and however mortifying to ma.
tional vanity it may be, the project
had better be abandoned.

THE citizens Of the delta of the

Mississippi5,O 900 square miles, in Ar
kansa87 900 square miles, and in Mis-
souri, 5000 square miles, flooding out

inundation recedes.

THE news from Arkansa= grows
worse. A struggle betweeh detacn-
ments of the opposing parties for the
possession of some arms that were
being shipped to Little Rock took
r,ace near there. Several men were
killed or wounded. The Baxter par
ty were badly defeated and driven
from their steamer, while the vlctorl-
ous Brooks militia brought the mus
kets and the steamer to Little Rock
in triumph. Recruits and members
of the Legislature arc coming in, and
there is a prospect of warm work if
that body meets, as there is every
indication that it will.

VIM. Bcbe was seriously stabbed,
the knife going through the right

NEARLY all the religious papers,
singular to say, are opposed to the
burning process after death. And
vet il is the fear of this very burning
after death that drives many sinners
into the churches. 1t is only httlng
that precept and practice should so
hand in hand.

excess Of the demand, and the price
too low 10 give a fair profit on the
production, the oil men have deter,
mined to shut down for time, until
better prices are offered. The Titus-
Vile Herald reports the stoppage OF
one hundred and thirty wells that
were actually drilling, and twenty
seven that were ready to start. 1t is
thought that nearly all the wells will
shut down for at least ninety days.

THE iron trade of Pennsylvania is
unmistakably dull. In the Lehigh

NAMES have on hand an immense sur

THE COST or LIVING

is about as high as ever; in fact
what a family must have to live
costs almost as much as when gold
was 200 per cent, The best bee:
steak costs at retail 80 cents per Id.
An average business suit, $50, (cost
in London, $3.50, fashionable male
hat, SO; ditto female, $50. These are
,car prices, and yet gold is only II
per cent. Good private board before
the war could be had in this city and
Brooklyn for a man and wife at Sl2
per week. As good now costs at
least $50 | don't believe all this
can become righted without a tum-
bic of prices, and that ofa radical and
thorough sort. 1t is all very well to
have a currency as good as gold, but
not if a gold dollar wont buy any
more than a paper dollar did when it
took two of them TO be worth gold
one. 1t is true that prices have not
declined as our money became more
valuable, as they should do and must
do. But how and wheny
