Cured in the opinion that the Governor
would be nominated by an unanimous
vote of the Convention in May next.
Ex-Governor Curtin and Col. Nc
Clure, are widely at variance regarding
the strength of Gov. Hartranft. Curtin
says he will be very much stronger than
he was three years ago; that the serious
charges laid against him then can not
now be made: that his record as Execu-
tive of the State is without blemish. and
can not be assailed in any particular.
and, remarked Gov. Curtin, with a sly
look at Aleck, ''it is upon his record
that man must stand OF fall and Hart
ranft will win, upon the record he has
made for himself, without even struQ-
gle." aa
Ever since Mcclure went Buckalew-
ing, he appears to have lost all the polit-
cial sagacity for which he was once ia
nous, and it is his opinion-which is
not worth much-that before the No
vember election all that was charged
against Gov, Hartranft in 1872, win be
established as facts, matters of record.

Gov. Curtin can not be made to think
so, and points to the exhaustive trial of
Geo. 0. Evans, before Judge Pearson,
as failing in any way whatever to cast q
shadow over Gen. Hartranft.

THE CENTENNIAL. Hg
About twenty-five nations of the earth
have sent to the Centennial commission
the official lists of the commissioners
appointed by those foreign governments.
to see that their Industries are properly
represented at the exhibition of 1875.
These commissioners have all been ss-
lected by their respective governments
because of their eminent fitness, and as
illustrative of the character of the com
missioners from abroad, ! present the
names and official standing of few of
the commissioners appointed by the
Netherlands.
DIR. ID. ii. Won Baumhauer, Honora-
ry Professor, at Harlem, President.
Mr.. A. H. Engeman, President of the
Society of Dutch Industrials OF Leiden.
Mr.. 2. Hartsen, President of the
Board of commerce and Manufacturers
of Amsterdam.
Mr.. j. Z. Van Heemskerck Van Beest,
Artist at the Hague. aE
Mr.. II. @. Van der Houven Van
Ourdt, Secretary of the Section Over
yelurve of the Society of Agriculture of
Gelderland.
MIR. M. NJ. de Monchy, President of
the Board of commerce and manufacture
ers at Rotterdam.
DR.. J. Th. Mouton, Under President
Of the Society to further Manufactures
and Trade Industries in the Netherlands.
Those from the remaining twenty-one
nations are equally distinguished and
as each of our own State Governments
are about selecting commissioners to
look after the interest of the different
States, it occurred to me that it might
be OF public benefit to show with what
wisdom these things are donein Europe.
MILK.
The milk bill of our city alms-house
amounts to over $40, 900 per annum. In
1873 the medical prescriptions for the
poor of that institution amounted to
more than one hundred thousand: In
1874 they were decreased to 800, 900 on
the principle that it was cheaper to buy
milk than physic. A years experiences
has proved that how much more efica-
clous milk Is than medicine in such an
institution.
FATHER GERDEA4AN.
That high old priest, Father Gerde-
man, who violated his vows of celibacy.
by marrying the organist of his church,
and who attempted 10 reach GERMANY.
by the round about way of going FROM
Philadelphia to Jersey City, thence to
Cincinnati, thence to Baltimore. thence
to Germany-if it had not been for tho
Baltimore detectives-is to have his trial
next week, in the criminal court. He is
charged with stealing about 800, 900 Of
his parishioners' cash, which in their
eyes Is slight offense, compared with
his taking unto himself a wife. The
case against Gerdeman looks bad, and
yet 1 shall be greatly mistaken if he is
convicted. The ex-priest is German,
and the Germans are more than anxious
for his acquittal, while the Irish are de-
termined to convict him. One thing is
