BosToN yields the musical palm to
Cincinnati, but not with a very good
erace. 1t was hard thing for the Huh
10 do; but she comes down in as good
style as could be expected. She tries to
console herself with the claim that Gin.
einnati has only initiated Boston in
respect to her great festival; but 1t is
very frankly conceded that Boston has
been SO thoroughly surpassed that Gin
einnati must be regarded as the musical
center Of the Republic. They admit that
the Boston Jubilee was "slam-bang'
affair, while the Cincinnati Festival was
distinguished by refined taste.

A Canadian Judge, holding court at

A Canadian judge, holding court at
Montreal, where an important public
trial is going on, has issued an order
that no reports shall be taken for publi-
cation in the newspapers, and he threat
ems to punish the reporters for contempt
If they disobey his order. This rule is
likely to test the authority OF judges and
the rights and responsibilities OF the
is a public one, and all persons wishing
to can hear it. If the judge is sustained
in the position he has taken, the liber-
ties of the press and the rights OF the
people will be alike endangered.

dial cooperation Of his fellow-towns-
men. After having seen what had been
done by way Of preparation he thought
that the interest would continue to rise
until the opening of the exhibition, when
the only difficulty will be to find room
for the multitude of our own and Of for
eign countries who will apply for room
in which to exhibit their products.
Mr.. John Welsh, who is styled "the
Father Of the Exhibition" made the
principal speech Of the occasion. He
spoke more particularly of the cost of
the preparations. He estimated the ex-
treme sum that would be required to
prepare for and carry through the exhi-
bition and celebration at $s,5OO,0oo.
The work is now further advanced
than that Of any European exposition
at a corresponding period previous to
the day Of opening to the public. The
buildings will all be finished before JAN
uary, 1876. The approximate amount Of
money secured is 1000, 900, and So, 800, 900
remain to be obtained. OF what is Sc
cured 1,0OO, 900 is not payable until next
year, while the money must be expended
this year. He feared that they might
not have money on hand to meet every
obligation as it natures. He thought 1t
would be a modification to mortgage
the receipts in advance of the opening to
pay for the preparations. The Associa-
ton, therefore, earnestly invokes the
prompt aid of all the people Of the United
States and especially those whom their
New York guests represented. More
than $4,000 900 have been drawn from
Pennsylvania. OF course the old Key
stone should be foremost in the work,
because independence was declared
within her. borders and Independence
Hall was the point of greatest interest in
her metropolis. But her sister States,
who equally enjoy the blessings of the
declaration, should cordially cooperate
in the work.
Mr.. Welsh proceeded to argue that
subscribers to the fund need not fear
that the receipts will not fully reimburse
them. He thought tha5 of the $500, 900
to be raised but s5,Oo0ooo will be repre-
sented by the stock basis. In 1867, $780,
900 tickets were sold to the Paris Expo
sition. No European population can be
compared to that of the United States,
in estimating the patronage of our exhibit
tion of 1879. We have 10000 miles Of rail-
road, and larger portion of our people
are able to attend. Besides it is to be a
grand national memorial occasion, thus
uniting the powerful motive Of patriot
ism to those which ordinarily attract Wis
itors to such exhibitions. The prospect
is that the multitude at Philadelphia
will be such as no man can number. Mr..
Welsh thought that it would be perfect
Iy safe to guarantee the sale of 10000, 900
tickets at fifty cents each-so that it will
undoubtedly pay off the entire amount
of the stock required.
We are happy in the assurance that it
is to be success. There Is probably no
doubt that our millionaires will sub
scribe all the stock that may be nee ded.

The Houses of Parliament and West
minister Abbey.

THE Houses of Parliament-the House
of Commons and the House of Lords
stand close by the river at Westminster,
with the Abbey in the rear. Probably
you will be more pleased with them than
with the other buildings that you have
seen in London. For, while they are large
and imposing, they have sort of airy
grace, which is produced by numerous
towers, spires and abundant scroll-work.
To what can | compare them? They
seem so finely wrought that they might be
woven of lace instead of stone, and they
realize all ones ideas ofa palace, even OF
fairy palace. At night, too, when the Par
lament is in session and all the windows
stream forth light, they are still more
beautiful and still more inviting to the
fancy, The interior is also exquisitely
grand; and this is the great legislative
hall where the Queen, the Lords and Com
mopers meet in council to frame laws for
the people.
Westminster Abbey is much older and
nobler building than the Houses of Par
lament Within its walls rest the re-
mains or monuments of all those English
men who have distinguished themselves
by brave deeds in peace and war. " Vic
tory or Westminster Abbey!" cried Lord

A Singular Accident.

THE st. Albans (Vt.) Register tells the
following story of a remarkable aAatomi-
cal phenomenon:
Recently very valuable horse be-
longing to Mr.. Gaylord, ofBrookfield, was
thrown down by a rolling stone in the
road, while on the road to Randolph Cen
ter. After striking the ground the horse
turned complete somersault landing on
his head toward the carriage. The horse
gained his feet and began feeding. For
week he seemed perfectly well, and was
driven as usual, going to West Randolph
and to Washington IN the time and doing
ordinary farm work, and working on a
moving machine. A week after the acci-
dent the horses head began to droop, and
signs of disease to appear. 1t continued
to eat well, and twelve days after the acci-
dent died suddenly. DR.. S. E. Root and
another physician were summoned to ex-
whether its death was the result Of the
accident or not. Upon examination
it was found there was fracture of
both the fourth and fifth vertebr9 of the
neck. From the fourth piece was
broken off about two inches long, one inch
wide, and nearly half an inch thick, and
from the fifth piece about half as large.
Also piece about three-fourths of an inch
by an inch was scaled from the body of
the fifth, and many fine fragments were
found in the wound. There was no ex-
ternal wound The spinal cord was not
broken into by the fracture, but irritation
had finally set up inflammation in the
membrane of the cord, and this caused the
death of the horse

SOME time ago a gentleman, speaking of
a farmer in this ncighborhood, said he was
a lucky man, for whatever crop was the
highest in the market it always happened
that he had cultivated largely of that par
ticular article that season and succeeded
in raising a good crop. He said that if
anything the man did not appear to have
even as much intelligence as his neigh
bors, but by sheer luck he was getting
rich, while many others could hardly hold
their own.
A couple of weeks ago we rode by this
mans farm and were struck with the su-
periOr excellence of the shocks in his wheat
field, and few days since we found that
grain in stack and the stubble already
turned under. We therefore came to the
conclusion that his success was not the
result of luck, but Of industry and the ap-
plication of brains to his business. He
may not understand the currency question
or be able to solve intricate theological
problems, but he certainly does know
when and how to do the work on his farm
a little better than some of his neighbors
who put on more airs. They may have
the heaviest brains, but he puts his to
work where they will do the most good.
They may really know the most, but he
puts the most of what he knows in praC
ticc He does not work as much as some
others, but carefully considers beforehand
how, when and where his efforts and those
of his hands can be spent to the best adj
vantage; and the consequence is that so
little of his labor is lost that in the end he
accomplishes much more than the mere
plodder.
From all of which we draw this moral ::
First of all, put your brains in your bust
ness and learn how, when and where to
do; and secondly, do what you know is
best. For instance, if you know that it is
best to SOW fall grain early try to SOW dur
ing August if possible, instead of waiting
as you generally do till the last of Septem-
Der and October, and then curse your
"luck' when it winter er-kills.-Nanhattan

Smaller Than Tom Thumb.

THE London Standard Of Aug. 10 says ::
Thanks to the vigilance and energy OF Mr..
William Holland, a sensation, to give a
fillip to the close of the season, has been
secured for the North Woolwich Gardens.
Physically speaking, the sensation is not
large one-measuring exactly six inches
less in stocking vamps than Gen. Tom
Thumb, and weighing about six and
twenty pounds. The name he answers to
flor he is alive and a male) is Jean
Hannema, but he has been nicknamed
Admiral Tom Trump" and is attached,
temporarily, to the toy navy ofthe Serpen-
tine. Jean was born at Franeker, Fries
land, Holland, on the 23d of April, 1852
He is very intelligent, and speaks five
languages fiuently, viz: English, French,
Dutch, German and italian. He has not
been exhibited in England since 1o49, he
then being ten years old, and he has moi
grown since that time. On that occasion
he had the honor of royal command, allc
appeared at Buckingham Palace before
the Queen and Prince Albert. We canno
say we hold much sympathy with the
curiosity that is excited by the view O.
lusi-natur9, but Mr.. Holland knows his
constituents. He is Snowman, and, a.
Artemus Ward said in his interview witt
President Lincoln, Showmen is devoit
of politics they know how to cater for thu
public" In any case the Admiral will b.
seen with interest by his visitors, for he il
vivacious and intelligent, as well a
liliputian. He exposes his linguisti
abilities with commendable modesty, ant
talks of the scenes he has visited in hi
Continental ramblings with as much zes
as traveller whose growth would be NOR
in consonance with the feeling of enjoy
ment.

The National Greenback Platform.
The followingis the platform adopted by
the recent National Greenback Mass Con-
vention in session at Detroit:

the recent National Greenback Mass Con-
vention, in session at Detroit:
ReS05reG, l. That the people owe to the Govern
ment at all times and in all emergencies loan of
money adequate to its needs, at rate OF interest
so low as to be the least possible burden and to
offer the least possible compensation to private
enterprise.
= The Government owes to the people an abso-
lutely safe and uniform currency, adapted to their
varying needs. i'll amount and of value not mate
rally different from that of other civilized nations
3 That the providing of currency for the peo-
pie Is an attribute of sovereignty. and we demand
that the Governm en of the United States shall per
form this duty in such manner as TO furnish the
public an amount OF currency adequate to the bust
nes- requirements of the country aud independent
OF the action of banks or other private corpora
tions.
4. That We neither repudiationists nor infa-
tionists, but the friends OF safe sound and reli.
able currency; that we propose to redeem the
greenbaCk circulation of the United States at the
pleasure of the holders thereof. in bonds of the
United States bearing low rate of interest, con-
Verlble at the pleasure OF the holders into green
backs. thus redeeming the original promise OF the
Government when it first issued greenbacks, to
~ d them when desired into interest-paying
Oouus:
>. That we are in favor of the issue of United
States certificates bonds bearing interest not to
exceed 365 per cent. per annum. to an amount
equal to the whole Government debt, said bonds
or certificates being changeable and interchangea-
BILE with greenbacks at par on demand.
g. That the legal money of the country should
be endowed with the power to pay all debts, public
and private. except that portion Of the bonded in
debtedness specifically made payable in coin
T. That as the enactment of the last Congress
providing for resumption of specie payments in
1879 is impractiCabe and impossible of execution,
and disastrous in its effects upon the business of
the country we demand its immediate and uncon-
ditiOnal repeal.
s. That the plan of Government currency pro-
posed by this convention would in our opinion,
tend to render Government and people inde
pendent financially of foreign influences com
pcations and not subject hereafter, heretofore,
to the disturbing control or influence of foreign
countries.
g. That we recommend the organization of
GreenbaCk Clubs in every State OF the MON for
the purpose of carrying out the principles and
measures set !orth in the foregoing resolutions.

THE REAPERS.

THE reapers bend their lusty backs;
Their sounding sickles sway;
At every stroke the golden sea
Recedes to give them way:
The heavy ears fall bowing down,
And nestle at their feet:
Such will, such work as theirs, perforce,
Must win-must homage meet.
SO careless of fatigue they 90,
So true, so steadily;
The admitting traveller on the road
Leans Der the gate to see;
With marvel of the soon-fallen breadth,
The lounging gossips tell;
But the reapers labor for us all;
'Tis need they should work we'll
Ere the great sun that burns above
Shall crimson IN the west,
And the ehildfen's poppy nosegays fade,
And they lie down to rest,
Each golden spear that upward points
Shall fall upon the field,
And the farmer drain IA sparkling glass,
Rejoicing DER the yield.
Ply, bonny men, your sickles bright,
And give the people bread
At every conquering stride you take,
On want and woe you tread
Drop, heavy ears, and give the strength
You gathered from this plain,
That man may rise refreshed and firm,
And do great things again.
God bless the hands, all hard ard brown;
That guide the cleaving plow,
That cast abroad the shining seed,
And build the wealthy NOV;
They rear the bread our children eat;
'Tis by their toll we live
Hurrah! give them the loudest cheer
That grateful hearts can giye

| for an Instant, and during that one in
stant, with almost superhutiiah stfensth;
Mrs. Pope plunged both tines of the fork
into the bears side, where she supposed
| the heart to be. Either good fortune or
| the hand of Providence directed the
weapon, for one of the tines passed clear
| through the bears heart, and he fell over
dead, leaving her not only victorious, but
| unharined. After the excitement of the
cuntest was 0tef Mis- PDpe went back to
the hotisc, shudderihg at the extremity of
peril she had been in. But after a time
her nervousness passed off, and she went
on with her work again, and so the after
noon wore away.
At length when the sun was about an
hour high; she saw lItr husband emerge
from tile wobdS near tile house. She left
her spinning-wheel and, with the baby in
her arms, met him at the door as if moth
ing unusual had occurred.
As he came up to the door, leading the
horse with one hand and holding on the
bag Of flour with the other, he spoke out ::
"Well, wife, | am thankful nothing
has happened to you while | was gone. l
suppose it was foolish, but l couldn't help
worrying all the tlme''
Il don't know as it was foolish, hus-
band. But hitch the horse and bring the
bag in. want 10 talk with you"
When the bag was deposited in the
bpuCa MrS Dnrn Gail. $50 ,.p,, ,,-oro

Yes. l don't remember ever being so
nervous before in all my life"
"Wcll, husband, was nervous. too. l
couldn't help thinking, what Gould dB
if bear should come down from the
mountain after the sheep"
"Why, common sense would tell you
what to do; shut the DOOR, take care Of
yourself and baby, and let the sheep go"
do you think so, husband?"
"Of course | do. What else could you
have done?'
You Will see if you go out behind the
barn and look"
Behind the barn! What do you
mean"
4" mean what say. Go and look be-
hind the barn"
Mr.. Pope started out in the greatest
wonder. while the wife buried her face in
the baby's apron to smother the womanly
tears she could no longer restrain.
To his utter astonishment Mr. Pope
found the dead bear behind the barn, with
the pitchfork sticking III its side
When he went in and heard the whole
story from his wife he fully realized that
something had happened in his absence,
and that he had more reason than ever to
be thankful.
