ANNA DICKINSON.
This young lady has always been
warm friend of the blacks, therefore
when the editor of the New Castl
(Pa:) Gazette, authoritatively announ
ces that Gamma dickinson says: 'nc
true gentleman will wear papel
collar, and that she thinks pair O
spurs is all the apparel fellow
wants" and that "fellow" prints hel
name with a lower case ed" I in
fer the feeling of this particulal
Black is not reciprocal. Certainly
this young lady has not tthrust hel
affections unsought" upon this Blacl
or she would not deny him the con,
venience of a paper collar, nor insist
that his apparel shall consist only oi
pair of spurs, with frost only two
weeks off. 1 will not believe this OF
my talented young townswoman even
if she did carry off Theodore Tilton
from the Concert hall Greeley meet
ing in this city during the Grant can
vass.
THE CENTENNIAL.
The erection of buildings for the
international Exhibition of 1876 is
progressing with marvellous rapidity.
In the meantime the invitation ex-
tended by the President of the United
States to the nations of the world to
make such exhibit at the great Exhi-
bition Of 1876, of their arts and in
dustry as will serve to illustrate the
advances attained, and the successes
achieved in the interest and progress
of civilization during the century
which will then have closed, has
been FORMALLY accepted by the Meth
erlands, Sandwich Islands, Sweden
and Norway, Switzerland, Spain,
Peru, Mexico, Liberia, Japan, Hayti,
Guatemala, Ecuador, Chill, Brazil,
Argentine Confederation, Belgium,
France and Germany.
The last named nation thus writes:
The German Empire accepts with
sincerest thanks the invitation of the
government of the United States cf
America to take part in the Interrla-
tional Exhibition of 1876. The ap-
pointment of q special commission
for the Exhibition, as also a pleni-
potentiary residing in Philadelphia,
will therefore be made in time. The
Chancellor of the Empire,
Signed BISMARCK.
Commissioners have been appoint
ed by the nations named, and a num-
Der have already presented their Gre
dentials and are now here to look
after the interest of the government
and people they represent. In this
respect it occurs to me that these
foreign governments are far in ad-
vance of the States and Territories of
our own natiou which as such have
done but little towards promoting
the interests of the people of the
different States of the Union.
Some idea may be formed of the
feeling now existing in reference to
this matter of exhibiting skilled
workmanship by my saying that the
Franklin Institute Scientific Exhibi-
lion which opens here next month,
has about two acres under roof and
that every available foot is already
taken and applications made for
space covering not less than six
acres. 1t is my intention to note the
most important improvements in
placed ON exhibition be-
fore this Institute.
The second annual report Of May |
u Stokley-a large and instructive |
,olume Of 900 pages has been issued.
The mayor, who is faithful execu-
i've, is suffering from a second attack
If congestion of the brain. His
physicians entertain a hope Of his re-
.overy.
The Republican convention of the
Fourth district re-assembled and
nominated Horatio G. Jones for
State Senator. This is the conven-
ion Senator Rutan of Beaver coun-
y thought ought to have nominated
)ol. A. X. Mcclure, but it didn't
PClure may have had an attack of
Iann-Mackeyism, but I question if
was anything like 50 serious as
tutan's attack Of M'Clureism.
IT is due to Mcclure to say that no
otifed the President Of the Conyen-
ion that he was ineligible, under the
ules of the party, which require all
before a convention, to
ledge themselves in advance to sup
ort the nominee Of the convention,
nd hence any use Of name would be
Unauthorized.
