Centennial Movements.
Steck's Phila. r. r. Guide.

Form Steck's Phila. r. r. Guide.
The announcement is made that on
Wednesday, October 9th, the last
column was raised 10 the main Exhib-
tiou building, and that thus in work
ing period of about five months the
principal portion of this immense
structure have been completed. The
rapidity with which the leading Ex-
position buildings have been erected
has contributed greatly 10 the creation
Of the favorable sentiment now existing
in this and other counties. 1t affords
the best possible proof that PhiladeI-
phia and Pennsylvania mean business,
and that in connection with this enter
prise they have no such word as fail
in their vocabulary.
We are also glad to notice numer Gus
evidences that the interest of various
departments of the National Govern
ment in the Centennial is increasing.
The latest signs are the order for the
removal OF the monster gun lying at
Fortress Monroe to the Exposition
grounds; and the visit to this city of
one. OF the examiners of the patent
office for the purpose Of making arrange
ments for an exhibition of the practical
workings OF that important institution,
which is to be illustrated by about
5000 representative models and other
interesting objects. TO many persons
the proposed contributions from the
various departments at Washington will
form one of the most attractive features
OF the Exposition, and furnish, perhaps,
for the first time IN their lives a compre-
hensive idea Of the variety and vastness
of the functions performed by the Gen
eral Government. There would be
special propriety in such demonstra-
tion, and it should be made as complete
as possible, because while the people of
this or any other countries are submitting
the proofs of their progress, the nation
at large should also make full displ1y
of its tokens of advancement and its
modernized M, thods of performing
physical tasks.
Two subjects are constantly receiving
attention. One relates to the furnish
ing Of Accommodations for the numerous
visitors expected in 1876, and ihe other
to measures for obtaining the financial
aid necessary to secure the completion
and decoration CT the Centennial
grounds and the buildings in appropri
ate style. The vigor with which plans
are devised and labors performed in
both the directions indicated, justifes
the belief that both objects will be ac-
complished; but meanwhile it is to be
hoped that some Of the exertions will be
realize before there is a certainty that
the accommodations and the money
have been secured

aud we are now able to see things as
they arc without looking through the
uncertain veil of speculation. Returns
from New York, Maryland, Ma ssa

the Republican escutcheon bears on its
broad folds the legend "Victory;" all
along The line the enemy have been
routed, and especially in New York,

time and SO completely, the election of
anti tammany candidates is Ger tainty,
Maryland strong Democratic state
gives the Republican candidate for
Governor $4,000 majority "Nve have
met the enemy and they are ours" the
abnormal "tidal wave" that swept the
country last fall and placed in power a
set OF men whose acts we're so unpopu-
Jar and so like the Democratic tricks of
old, and whose cloven hoof protruded so
far that. the people feared to trust them
further with power, Notwithstanding
their loud protestations of honesty and
reform, have raised tornado that has
numerically cleared the Democratic

DOMESTIC RELATIONS OF HYENAS.-A
court at Leeds, England, has been. and
is still, for aught We know, puZZlmg itself
upon question of natural history aS affected
by the methods and results of civilization
and law. The question is: Are hyenaS do
nestle animals?' That's the puzzle of the
court, and IL was introduced in this wise. 4
Snowman wa performing in town with hy-
enas. He got ina cage with halfa dozen of
these repulsive brutes, and his little game
WAS TO make the hyenas jump through a fire
hoop for the amusement OF the crowd. He
used a whip to put a willing disposition into
the beasts, and some Of them jumped so high
as 10 burn their backs on the upper rim OF
the fire-hOOp. Some British Bergh had the en-
terprising Snowman arrested and hauled up
before court charged with an OfcnSe under
an act OF Parliament in relation To .'domeSti-
Gated animals" There was good deal of fun
around. but a very serious question arose
about the legal status of hyenaS in their do
nestle relations. The Snowman proved that
the hoops were large enough for two hyenas
to jump through at once, and that if they
burned their backs il was owing TO their own
clumsineSs- He also proved that those who
refused 20 jump until they were whipped up
were actuated by absurd nervousness He
also objected 10 giving hyenas the benefit OF
the law for the protection Of domestic ami
mails" There was the legal rut and there's
thority in natural history has ella SSed hyenas
under the head OF domestic animals and the
Snowman claimed that no law of England
could regard them as such. he did not know
much about law, but proposed To win his case
by natural common sense The court reserved
its decision, and was still bordering over the
puzzle at last accounts.

BALKY HoRSES-The society for the pre-
ventiOn OF cruelty to animals, puts forth a
set of rules for the treatment of balky horses.
1. Pat the horse upon the neck; examine
the harness carefully, first on one side and
then on the other, speaking encouragingly
while doing so; then jump into the wagon and
give the word go; generally he will obey.
2. 4 teamster in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out of
the shafts aud making him go round I'm a
circle till he is giddy. II the first dance of
this sort does not cure him, a second will.
4. The brain of a horse seems to entertain
but one idea at time; therefore confirmed
whipping only confirms his stubborn resolve.
If you can, by any means, give him new
subject TO think of, you will generally have
no trouble in starting him. A simple remedy
is TO take couple of turns Of stout Irvine
around the foreleg, just below the knee, tight
enough for the horse TO feel, and tie i'm a bow
knot. AT the first check he will generally go
dancing of, and after going a short distance
you can tget out and remove the string. to
prevent injury to the tendon in your further
drive.
s. Take the tail of the horse between the
hind legs, and tie il by cord TO the saddle
girth.
6. Tie string around the horses ear, close
10 his head,

ing the rate of growth of man have determ-
ined the following interesting facts. The
most rapid growth takes place Immediately
after birth, the growth of an infant during
the first year OF its existence being about
eight inches. This ratio of increase gradually
decreases until the age of three years, at
which il is TO become when full grown.
After five years the succeeding increase is
very regular till the sixteenth year, being at
year. Beyond sixteen the growth is feebiy,
being for the following two years about six
tenths of an inch year; while from eighteen
TO twenty the increase in height is seldom
over one inch. AT the age of twenty-five the
growth ceases, save in a few exceptional
cases. 1t has furthermore been observed
that, in the same race, the mean size is a
little large in cities than in the country, a
fact that will be received with doubt by many
who have come to regard the rustic as the
trle model man.

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE or \ PRETTY Or a

Hall. Detectives were put ON Miss KellOgg'S
track, and on Friday last they traced her %

the cottage and produced n warrant for her
arrest. Gen. Storms said that he was her
husband, but the detectives would not be-
lieve him. At length the officers, the fair
captive. and Gen. Storms were driven 10
Squire Halls. The justice said that he would
like 10 speak 10 Miss kellogg in private, and
she went into n back room with him. In
moment he called To Gen. Storms to step into
the room. The General quickly obeyed and
while the detectives paced the floor of the
squires office Gen. Storms and Miss Kellogg
were made husband and wife. When the trio
reappeared before the detectives, Squire Hall
Hall said that he was satisfied that General
Storms and Miss Kellogg were husband and
wife, and that was the end of il as far as the
detectives were concerned. Gen. Storms and
his bride went toPhiladelphia on Saturday
