Centennial Hints.

pushing the Centennial move
men, with more vigor than the
other grand divisions ofthe State.
If she does not make handsome
showing of her vast resources at
Philadelphia, next year, it will
not be for want Of effort on her
part.
We see it stated by the way, in
the Philadelphia papers, that in
order to insure reception, the min
neral and manufactured products
to be exhibited at the Centennial
should be delivered in that city
by the lst of January next, and
and that so far as possible appli-
cations for space should be made
within the next thirty days
Our people should und ,rstand
that the work is q mammoth un-
dertaking, and if the mistakes of
previous worlds fairs are to be a.
voided, the labor of receiving and
classifying articles must be COM
menced several months tefore the
opening day.
1t should also be borne in mind
that if any exhibition of Tennes-
see grain, or of cereals and grass
es in the stalk is, to be made, it
must be from the crops now grow
ing. 1t will be altogether too
late to make selections from next

An Anecdote of Daniel S.

Journal, relates the following:
"A party OF gentlemen were to-
gether last week, and were telling

Senator Dickenson. He was not
overlearned, but was very shrewd.
He knew absolutely nothing of the
classics, and was greatly annoyed
when one quoted Latir. Van Blu.

and the burden OF the party was
on Dickenson's shoulders. A
friend of Van Buren was euIogiz-
ing the eX-President in a speech.
He spoke of Curtius, and compar.
ed Van Buren, to that noble Ro,
man. Dickinson went over to a
seat occupied by a Senator who
was at home in all that relates to
the Romans. 'Who is this Cur
tbs the Senator is talking aboutY
'Oh! he is not talking about Cur.
It's at all. His name was Curtius,
not Curtis well, what did he
dor why, in the time of a great
public calamity he threw himself
in the breach and saved his coun-
try Oh! that's it, is it. What
did you say his name WASP Cur,

you. said Dickenson as he went
to his seat. AS soon as the de-
fender of Van Buren, took his seat
Dickeuson arose, fresh, confident,
He closed like a man
fresh from the classics: And who,
and who is this Curtius, to whom
the honorable Senator compares

High Salaries,
From the Troy Times.

The raising of Beecher's sal
airy to 500, 600 a year gives him
the largest compensation in the
Union. But one salary in the
world transcends it - that of
the viceroy Of India, which is
95O,O00, or $250,OO0 a year,
though it is possible that the
salary of Lord Dufferin, as
Governor-General Of Canada, is
100000, or $150,0O0 a year. :
The ambassadors Of Great Brit
ain at Paris and Vienna receive
but $4,000 4 year. We are
told that Ii. B. Clafiin pays his
credits man." formerly Presi-
dent of the Bank of North A
merica, Mr.. Donaldson, $780,
900 a year on account Of his un--
precedented knowledge of cred
its. The firm do a business of
$70,O00,OO0 a year, and this bus
inesss is an entirely credit one;
therefore a skillful knowledge
of the buyers, their standing
and personal habits, is Of more
value than ten per cent. upon
this amount; in other words it
is poftable to Claflin to pay less
than two per cent. upon his sales
to Mr.. Donaldson. There are
many statesmen in the leading
houses of New York with saIa-
aries reaching ashigh as $4,000,
while the leading journalist has
to be contented with $4,000.

Beyond the Stars - What?
'Tis easy to trace the soul TO the hour
That deprives the form of the breath
But who shall follow the spirits fight,
When it seeks the portal of death ?
Who rends the vail that hides from our view
The future beyond the bright stars,
Who follow the spirits upward flight,
When it breaks through our earthly bars?
What = ah what is that future state?
And where, oh where is the goal
Which Christians say is the resting place
And home of the deathleSs soul?
Is it beysnd the dark blue sky =
Beyond which the stars now shine;
Where the angels sing their songs of praise
TO the Spirit of God divine?
Can life be the end of all our hopes?
Is the struggle with death all DER?
Or is there a life beyond the tomb,
Where the soul lives evermere?
Does the soul exist when life has flown,
Or sink, like the cOrse, into night?
Let us rather believe the brilliant mind
Still continues its upward fight.
Let us think that the soul can never die =
That its mission will never end
That there is a land beyond the sky,
Where friend will still meet friend
That, freed from the turmoil and ills of life,
From its troubles, wounds and scars,
The soul will worship the God of Light
In His mansion "beyOnd the Skies"

NEGRO WIT.-Judge Burke.
Of South Carolina, rode on
horseback from circuit to cir
cult, accompanied by a servant,
who was directed to keep close
behind him, while he mcditated
as pleased himself by the way.
Jogging along in this way,
on one occasion, the servant
pressed up too near the horse
which he rode, and which hap
pened to be- an ill-natured brute,
aud the consequence was that
the horse kicked the negro on
the leg, who, observing that it
had not interrupted his masters
study, sprang off his horse, and
picking up Il stone threw it at
the beast, which it unluckily
missed and took effect between
the judges shoulder.
The instant the negro saw
what he had down, he fell in the
road with his arms clasped around
his leg, and crying out i'll ap-
parent agony; as soon as the
judge could straighten himself
he turned around and said to.the
PROSTATE negro
''Stephen, child, what ails
you?"
"Lor, massa," was the reply,
"your horse just now kicked
me on the leg, and almost broke
it,"
"Well, child" said the judge,
che just now kicked me be-
tween the shoulders, and almost
broke my back, too"

Eating Oranges Politely.

A writer of the Home Journal
gives instruction in the difficult
matter of eating an orange with.
out detriment to the hands or nap-
kin:
Always, on a Southern gentle
mans table, the desert of oranges
is furnished with small silver fruit
knives and spoons. The orange
is held in the napkin-just aa you
hold an egg-and with the slen-
der point OF the knife a circular
incision is carefully made in the
stem of the orange, and the stem
core is nicely cut out, leaving an
orifce large enough to admit an
egg spoon. The orange is held
and eaten then, just as gourmands
eat an egg, in its own shell; and
the skill and grace with which
this is done-that is, without soil.
ing the fingers or napkin-are, as
in the same process with the egg.
a test of good breeding. have
known the most inexpprt persons
to manage the few difficulties iu
the way after two or three efforts;
and their satisfaction was an inf
nitely pleasant sight To hostess
es who like to have their tables
preserve in some degree, at the
close of an entertainment, the
beauty which dazzled the guest
upon entering, this method is
desirable. Servants-let me put
in a plea for those .ilent ones whose
Interests are seldom regarded-are
spared the tedious duty of frag-
ments; and guests who look with
dismay at this tempting apple of
Hesperides, can thus enjoy it as
they never did before. Only the
delicious nectar of the fruit is eat
en-, with the more delicate pulp;
the tough fiber-of which, indeed,
there is very little in ap orange
plucked from the tree under its
own skies-being left in tie shell.

A False Alarm.
The Experiences of a Country Gem
tleman with a Fire Alarm Tele-
graph at Cincinnati.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Visitors from the country
should be very careful how they
post letters in fire boxes. Hen
ry Clark came to town q few
days ago from Brown county,
and spent last Sunday in the Vi
cinity of South Camp Washing
ton. He wanted to post a let
ter, and not being very well up
in city ways, took fire alarm
box No. 283 for a letter box.
AS he approached it, he could
read the words "key to be
found at the saloon" He ap-
piled to the saloon-keeper, who
produced the key in great haste,
suppoeing there was a fire.
Returning to the box the Brown
county man opened it and saw
within what was apparently an
inner door with Il handle to it
and the words "pull down and
then let CO." Thinking his let
ter would not lie safe unless de-
posted in the innermost place,
he pulled down the hook and
then let go. Presently there
was a commotion, and while Mr..
Clark was Studying out some
better way of getting into the
two or three engines
came tearing up to the place in
search Of the fire. The cause of
the alarm was traced to the un-
fortunate man from Brown coun-
ty, and he was arrested for tur-
ming in a false alarm. The next
day he was arraigned in the Po-
lice Court, fined one dollar and
costs and went away a sadder
and a wiser man.

In France and other centenni-
al countries the bodies of deceas-
ed persons are committed to their
parent earth much sooner after
death than is the custom of this
country. The Law IL consequence,
insists on great care being Ia
ken to avoid premature interment.
In Brest lately, however, a ma
rine fell into Iethargic state, was
certified as dead by the hospital
authorities, and his supposed re-
mains were conveyed under mill
tary escort to the cemetery. A
few days afterward some of those
who buried him were surprised
and Mortified beyond measure by
meeting him in the street. For
tunately he had been reserved for
scientific purposes, and when he
was placed naked on the marble
slab in the dissecting room the
sudden chill revived him.
