A large number were invited, and
so much was our citizens interested

that the hall was crowded.. The

and every one who appeared per-
form his part well, showing a spirit

THE controversy that unfortu-
nately arose between Elder Mather
and myself having been settled, it
was expected that according to
agreement public statement would
be made, removing the wrong i'm.
preston regarding the origin of the
trouble. This, however, was no
fault Of mine, and it ought to be
enough to state that each holds a
letter from the other declaring the
trouble to have risen from q misun-
derstanding, and that it has been
amicably settled. 1t is but just to
say that the settlement was brought
about by the acknowledgment of
Rev. Mather that had he been in
formed of the error on the evening it
occurred he would have apologized
to the audience before leaving. This
the Elder has forgotten to make
public according to agreement but
doubtless he thinks it dishonorable
to retract statement once made,
though found 10 be wrong. l
therefore relieve him of the embar-
rassment by declaring the acknowl-
edgement of the above before the
employees of this office and the letter
published below as settlement
enough. We use his own words in
saying, let it rest in peace.

DE-. BLAKE THE MIND READER.-We
were unable to accept the polite invita-
ton OF DR.. Blake, the Mind Reader, to
attend his private seancs yesterday. our
time being preoccupied. Last night we
forgot him until too late. But We
understand that some of his tricks are
perfectly marvellous, almost miraculous,
in fact. He makes coins and things fly
about and go through the presto
change operations with an adroitness
that is unequalled. He asks a spectator
20 take a coin, for instance, and lock it
securely in safe or other repository
Then he hands one of those present al
envelope, and asks him to hold it tight
to a table or other solid top-pisce of
furniture. First thing every body knows,
the identical marked coin is in the
envelope, and the safe on being opened
is shown to no longer contain the money.
Must try 10 take lock at him and
report. There WAS q big crowd 20 see
him at the Ormsby last night.

could be made at ;231 per ton.
Discussions relating to the proposed

that it was proposed to comply, merely,
with the law. which provides that q
quartz mill may he erected at the Cen

With regard to the question of a cata
logue of the specimens to be exhibited,
and the printing Of the same in the diff
ferent languages Of Europe, it does not
seem to have been discussed. Certainly
no provision has been made for it. But
it is expected that the quartz mill can be
disposed of on such terms as will make
it yield comeback Of, say, half its
cost; and IL this arrangement can be
made, in advance, there will be abund-
ant moneys in the fund to have the said
catalogue compiled, printed and bound,
if deemed necessary. OF course great
many copies would be required, and also
of course, they would be for gratuitous
distribution among people who would
value them.
1t will be observed from q perusal of
the foregoing that the Commission have
appropriated, by past and present re-
solves and motions. $40. 600 for the cabi-
net. This, we hope. will insure every
thing needed so far as this part of the
exhibit from this State is concerned
tho We are not quite certain that enough
has been set apart for labelling, arrang-
Ing, etc. Still, the moneys seem to be
wisely handled in this regard As to the
veXed question Of the quartz mill it
seems to have been quite as fairly dis
posed Of as such comparatively i'm
practicable affair may be. The PROPOSE
ton to appropriate $1,000 toward
Pacific Coast Robbers Roost IS
frst-rate idea. California ought to APP
pToPriata at least -, 600, Oregon 81 900
ana Altoona $500. That would make
up purse OF S5,590-quite enough for
the purpose.

\ TIMELY REFoEM.-The Pennsylvania
Legislature has durc wise and benefcient
thing in passing law to prevent the Trades
Unions from shutting boys out Of mechanical
occupations. The narrow despOtism which
for 50 many years has controlled these organ
izltiuns has been seriously injurious TO the
interests Of society, and even the working
men, whose short-sighted policy thus thrusta
stumbling block in the path of the nation,
have had TO pay the penalty of their selfish
blindness in the shape Of heavier taxes for
iaiIs and police and penitentiaries- Without
assuming that this policy of the Trades
Uniuns is the principal cause of hoOdlumism.
it may safely be affirmed that it is one of the
causes, and that in shutting out apprentices
the working men not infreQuently are con-
signing their owa children TO shame and
ruin. Pennsylvania has done well IN level
ing blow at this iniquitous system, and 1t
is to be hoped that Others will follow her ex-
ample-Sar. Record.

PROFESSION AND PERFoEMAXcE.-The
European Governments are just now
all declaring that their intentions are
most amicabIc. France recently pro-
tested against the injurious rumor
that she meditated war, and Germany
followed suit with similar disclain-
er. This Is very well rs far as it goes,
bat whea it is observed that France
is proceeding rapidly with the reor-
ganization Of the army, that she is
enrolling all her subjects liable to
military service, and that she is re-
mounting her cavalry by the tens of
thousands, it may be doubted whether
the future does indeed wear so pacific
an aspect as is represented. Germany,
it is well known, is equipped at all
points, and reader, if that be posi-
bic, for war, than she was when Ma
poleon began his fatal march upon the
Rhine. There may be nothing i'm
pending, but ii is certain that ell Eu-
rope Is anxious and distrustful, and
that there is a general sense Of ap-
preaching trouble, which facts do
more to confirm than any diplomatic
assurances can dissipate.

And thus the loved who disappear
Pass like tie mornings fight,
But walk in paths so sweet and clear,
A. blind us with the light
They sit uTou the azure day,

And ON the clouds at night.
