A LARGE HuTEL.-The Philadelphia Times
gives the following description of the new
Centennial hotel to be erected in that city |:
The hotel will have front of $40 feet on Bel
mont avenue, with depth of $40 feet, COM
prising main building which will be rough
cast, with projecting portions of five different
sections in front and five wings extending
back a distance of 100 feet from the main
building, with court-yards separating them.
The height Of the central front will be 80 feet,
which will be surmounted by huge figure of
Atlas supporting the world on its shoulders.
The general style of the building will be
! Elizabethan-G Gothic and may be termed the
Collegiate style, its deep recesses giving 1t the
full effect of light and shadows, while its
twenty gable ends afford peculiar fitness for
decoration by the flags of the different nations
with which 1t is intended to mark one for
each gable. Around the entire building will
run broad verandah 900 feet long and IL to
10 feet wide And one of the most striking
features Of the situation of the hotel will be
that it will not be placed on a line with the
street, but will fall back Sd feet from grassy
lawn, with cultivated shrubs and trees inters-
persod between the guests and the great pub
lie, giving shade, air and quiet. The office
will be 80 feet square and located at the en-
trance to the hall the restaurant 500 feet
long by SO feet wide !; the bar-rooms 300 by
so feet the barber saloons 200 by so feet.
These main rooms are all attended by the
different departments of kitchen, carving
rooms, silver rooms, glass rooms, crockery
rooms, ETC., necessary to q first class estab-
lislment. There will be forty-seven flights
of stairs with seven or eight feet length of
step, running in a direct line from the base
ment to the roof--one stairway being placed
at the end of each corridor, or nine altogether,
SO that the weary traveller arriving at night,
will not have to take the precaution of the
celebrated backwoods preacher, who blazed"
bis way to his hotel room with All axe.
Every guest will be sure of speedy entrance
and exit and be in no danger Of getting lost
There will be one thousand rooms, of an
average size of ten by twenty feet. So well
will it be placed under control that water can
be put at any time on any part of the build
ing by steam pumps in three minutes from
the time of alarm. Five permanent escapes
will be placed at the ends of the halls on the
0 ltside, while each room will be furnished
with rope escape, with leather fastenings,
etc., in complete order for the guests instant
use. Each floor will be supplied with hose on
wheels, axes, ETC., and the fire alarm will in
stantly bring ten men, in quiet ORDER to any
spot, ready for service. AT the end of every
wing in the top of the house there is to be
placed large iron water tank, supplying the
pipes, while steam pumps Of six horse power
will force water through the length and
breadth of the building.

Mount Holly is at present annoyed by petty
thieves. Last week numerous thefts were
perpetrated. The goods were mostly taken
from dwelling houses on Pine street, and con-
sisted of clothing, umbrellas, and carpenters
tools.
During a recent thunder storm thirteen
sheep and ton lambs were killed by lightning
on the farm of Robert Pitney, in Morris coun-
ty, New Jersey.
The famous Cunard steamer Scotia, the on
ly side wheel vessel in the transatlantic
trade, has been withdrawn.
1t would be strange if some of the States
do not get the right sort Of Democratic plat
forms they all differ.

THE SHERIFFALTy.-The Trenton True
Americ0n in discussing the question relative
To the reelection of Sheriffs under the new
Constitution, says -" The assumption that
the election under the amended constitution,
for term of three years, OF Sheriff who has
served one year, would be unconstitutional,
does not seem to be well founded. The Con-
stitution now reads that Shenffs may be re-
elected until they shall have served three
years, but no longer after which, three years
must elapse, before they can be again capable
of serving" The proposed amendment pro-
vides that they shall be elected at once for
three years. The effect Of the existing provi-
sion is TO render the person ineligible after
having been elected and served three times in
succession. Those who have been incum-
bents for less than three years when the
amendment goes into effect, win be clearly
eligible for reelection under 1t, and, if elect
cd, ft must be fur the term provided. The
old clause, with Its provision for an annual
election, will have boon entirely superseded by
the new one providing for an election every
three years only. In the absence of a provis-
ion for an annual election it would follow that,
if the time which any incumbent who should
be reelected, may have served, were deduct
cd, a vacancy would occur for the balance Of
the unexpired term. Besides to make any
such deduction would shorten the term, aud
by what authority could that be done The
amendment adopted, the Sherff's term will
be three years all citizens not disqualified
will be eligible, and whoever may be chosen
will, 1t would seem, be entitled to servo for
the term prescribed"

A severe cough can be cured in few days,
by using DIR. Burrows VEGETABLE CoUeH
SYRUP. 1t is purely oegefa6ls, and is one of
best remedies known for coughs, colds, bron-
chitis, and all affections of the throat or lungs
that may lead to consumption. Being of a
very healing nature, IL cannot fail to be of
great benefit in all cases where the lungs or
bronchial tubes are affected from any cause.

Somebody has figured out what the expense
of supporting the National Government has
been to each voting citizen during the last six
Administration. The table shows that under
Polk (Democrat) the expense per head was
$2.O5 under Taylor and Fillmore (Whig),
$l.s9 under Pierce (Democrat), 1888 under
Buchanan {Democrat). 1928; under Lincoln
and Johnson Republican, $1.94; under
Grant, $i.69 That is pretty good showing
for /" Radical rule"

clamoring for an increase of paper currency,
account for the fact that banks and capitalists
are burdened with u surplus of leash on
hand, and are loaning freely at rates ranging
from two-and-a-half to five per cent. per
annum? If business has become dull and de-
preston general for the want Of an increase of
money, will Mr.. Infiationist explain why
those who need more money do not gointo the
market and supply their necessities, while it
can be done at lower rates than ever before in
the history Of the country? In other words,
cannot every business man in the country OBJ
tain just as much capital as bis business re-
quires, provided he has the necessary securi-
ties to oferp And If he has not this indis-
pensible requisite, how else does he expect to
obtain the use of other peoples money, even
if the Government added one hundred per
cent. to its circulation of greenbacksa

An article in the last number of the North
Auerioag Re0Ssso relates some curious Incl
dents Of the war made upon the Tammany
Ring Of New York by Harper's Weekly and
the Times afew years ago. When the fire b0-
came. hot and the, Ring Democrats were
deeply scored in every issue, an effort was
made to buy off Mast of the Weekly. and the
proprietor and editor of the. Times. The
Ring offered Mast a free trip to Europe and
the gift Of a. valuable house when he came
back IL he would stop while to Mr. JONES' of
the Times, an offer of Ave millions Of dollars
was made to secure his silence In both cases
the proposals Of the Tammany thieves were
rejected The result was that Tweed and In
gersoll went to prison as criminals Connolly
and Sweepy are fugitives from the country ;
and Hall, once Mayor Of the city, has sunk in
to deserved otscutity.

A letter from Western Missouri to the New
York Times written the early part of last
week, says that the country ravaged by the
grasshoppers month or two ago has almost
recovered from its losses. Where the earth
was entirely stripped of vegetation it is now
covered with living green, the result of re-
planting and favorable weather. The soil is
SO fertile that everything has grown like
magic. The rainfall has been great saturat-
ing the earth and doing considerable damage
to the railroads Few localities in the East
can show more promising crops than those
now growing in the region so recently devas-
tated, and There is no present doubt of IN
ABUNDANT supply of food. A curious result Of
the grasshopper scourge is the springing of
new kind of grass, resembling buffalo grass,
which will be very valuable for pasturage. In
other parts Of the West the crops have been
good deal injured by heavy rains. Wheat and
oats have turned out wellin Illinois, and hay
is more than foil crop. A great amount Of
corn was planted, and the yield all through
the West will be very large Fruit especially
apples, Is deficient all over the country.

The San Francisco Bulletin represents the
effect of opium eating upon the Chinese in
that city as worse than the popular estimate
of it. The victim when deprived of the
drug, is in a more pitiable condition than the
drunkard with delirium tremens. His CON-
plexion becomes CHASTITY and his stomach will
not retain food.
