The Commissioners of the Centennial
Exposition met at Philadelphia on the
10th. Hon. G. p. Kimball, President Of
the Maine Board, being unable to attend
from illness, the state was represented by
Commissioner Joshua Nye. Reports of
the various committees We're submitted.
The Executive Committee review the work
which has thus tar been undertaken by
them, and state wherein they have met
with success or failure They regret the
manifest indisposition OF Congress to grant
the appropriation of three million dollars
asked for, as well as its refusal to pass the
law which was essential to the interna-
tiona character of the exhibition. They
are not able to report any satisfactory pro-
gress in the contributions to the Exhibi-
ton funds from other States except New
Jersey and Oregon. The appropriation
OF Pennsylvania, on the other hand,
together with that of the city of Philadel-
phia, and the subscriptions of citizens,
amounts to nearly four and half million
dollars. The total number of shares TINS
far subscribed for is 1870, 52O, representing
$1.805 200, which a.e very unequaly di-
vided among the various States, The
number taken in Pennsylvania is HIP:
in New York, 1854; Oregon, $40; Massa-
chusetts, 272 and so on down to Texas,
which takes only one. The estimated ex-
penses of the Exhibition, including the
cost OF the various halls and of the general
administration, is put down at So, $50, 900,
and the total amount thus far assured, in
Guiding the proposed contribution of Con-
gress, is 1854 900. For making up the
balance, with something to spare for gen.
eral contingencies the Committee look to
further subscriptions from various quar-
tiers to the amount of million dollars
while the estimated receipts from the En-
hibition are set down at So, 800 900, max
ing fair balance in favor of the enter
prise, which the Committee think should
guarantee It's success.

The New York Herald gave its columns

in Washington, reiterating the story OF
bonndless and determined ambition Ii

/ whether it is really Cnsarism. OF belief
that the country needs an emperor and
that he is the coming imam on horseback y
There are some things in the characteris-
tics of the President which favor the latter
theory. He has military training and ex
perience, and knows how much like mere
machine is the soldier, and that the phrase
"bayonets that think is idiotic; he is a
silent, guarded, concealing man, so much
so as to have caused the New York Tri-
bune to speak Of him as IAN epauletted
sphinx" he believes in destiny, as was
evidenced by the mistaken belief which
he had in his own election in 1872, when
his fortunes looked darkest
Still, for all these characteristics, we do
not believe that Gen Grant intends to be
a candidate for another term. He will not

The present high price of potatoes is
said to be owing to the destruction Of the
crop by the Colorado potato bug, in locali-
ties that have in part supplied the cities OF
the Atlantic seaboard. The march east
ward Of that pest has been steady, and it
is supposed that this year it will prevail in
the State of New York. 1t will thus affect
a region that has marketed potatoes as far
east as Boston. The probabilities are that

A fatal case of Clinique occurred at the

large tumor taken from her neck. DR..
Green saw the patient and declined to OPP

Gated with. The result was the mother
and other friends came The DR.. stated
the whole case, the risks to be run, and
the possible chances Of success in the re
moyal of the tum-r. So large had become
the tumor as greatly to impede the res
piration, and it had also begun to effect the
circulation The decision was to operate,
as tho tumor if loft whore it was must
soon kin the child. The patient sank
under the operation, and died in about

were entirely successful Two OF the pa

the Dir. spoke quite at length to the class,
