Several months before this, under the as

correspondence with Sir Henry Clinton,
then at the head of the British army at New
York. There is every reason TO believe that
his extreme want Of money, and various pub

mination to sell his country for gain. This
was early IN the year, and " only remained
for him to settle in his mind the rsarBer In
which this coHid be done 90 as to produce the
greatest advantages TO himself. He thought
of West Point, and, this resolution being taken,
all his views and efforts thenceforward were
directed to that single object.
Cautiously, so as not to awaken the slight
est Suspicion, he limited to Washington his
scillingnoss to assume the command at West
Point. He further prevailed upon Robert r.
Livingston, then a member of Congress from
New York, to write to the General and sug-
gest the expediency of appointing him to that
station. Various other insidious means were
taken by Arnold to gain his object, and he
was at length successful; as, on the third day
Of August, we find him in full command. ripe
for treason and revenge. Sir Henry Clinton
now saw prospect before him which claimed
bis whole attention. To get possession Of
West Point and its dependent posts, with
garrison, military stores, cannons, vessels,
boats and provisions, appeared to him an
object of such vast Importance, that in attain
ing it no reasonable expense ought to be
spared. The maturing Of this plot was en-
trusted to Major Andre, an Adjutant- General

for its execution, the sloop Of war VULTURE

INTERNATIONAL Exhibitions. hibernate
onal exhibitions date from the year 1861, when
the first structure ever erected for an exposit-
ion of the industries of all nations was OPEN
ed in London on the flrst OF May 81 that year.
Previous to this time the idea Of one nation
inviting others to competitive exposition Of
its products had not been entertained, or Ger
tainly not encouraged. The daily average
nunbet of visitors to the exhibition at Suy-
dam during the al days it remained open
was 1881 the greatest number visiting 1t
in one day was 100, 9t5 tho greatest number
present at any one time in the building was
02,2s4. Financially, the enterprise was sue
cessful beyond all expectation. A balance re-
manned after all expenses had been paid Of
about nine hundred thousand dollars.
The second Btitihh exhibition was held in
1862, 1t vas opened May 1, 1862, and closed
the first of November Of the same year. OF
the $4,000 exhibitors, 1,7O0 were native or
colonial, and the remainder foreign az in
1851 one-haf Of the building was reserved to
England ana her vast colonies. The total
Number OF visitors was ILL, $50.
The first international exhibition held In
France was in 1855, and it was simply the ex-
pansion of the rational expositions which had
beefi held regularly since 1874.
The last exhibition we have to consider is
that held at Vienna three years ago. Like
the French twas a government enterprise
Misfortune seemed to attend 1t from the first.
1t was not nearly ready at the time fixed
for the opening the number of visitors fell

a CLOSE, HARD NAN.


A hard. close man was solomon Ray,
Nothing of value he gave away;
He boarded and saved,
He pinched and shaved
: And the more he had the more be craved.s
The hard learned dollars hetoiled to gain
Brought him little but care and pain
For httle he spe1t,
And all he lent ~ 80
He made It bring him twenty per cent.
Such was the life Of solomon Ray
The years went by and his hair grew gray !;
His cheeks grew thin,
Aud his soul within
8 Grew hard as the dollars be worked to win.
But he died one day. as all men must
For life is feeting, and naught but dust;
The heirs were gay
That laid him away,
And that was the end of solomon Ray.
They quarrelied now, who had little cared
For solomon Ray while his life was spared
His lands were sold,
And his hard-earned gold
All went to the lawyers, am told
Yet men will cheat, and pinch, and save
Nor carry their treasures beyond the grave,
All the gold some day
VIII melt away
Like the selfish savings Of Solomon Ray.

less than an hour fifty cords of wood had
been removed from the center uf the pile,
making road through and enabling the

hold the flames in check aud prevent any
more wood from burning than was al
ready afire. Many of our citizens de-
serve notice for their GOODNESS and untir-

forts did much both in the saving of Mr..

have endangered several buildings.

and in fact all who worked worked with
a will, showing that there is abundant
