To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: As a New-Y Yorker | must confess that
several visits to the Centennial Exhibition have not
added my local pride. The evidence exists indeed,
of large capital invested in merchandise; and New
York artisans done themselves and their city credit
by displays Indicative of surprising skill and taste 1t
is clear, however, that the Exhibition s unjust to
city state in other departments While in the Gov
ernmcnt Building. the Agricultural Hall, ana other
eces the mineral OF many Of the States are
judciOusly suggested, there is little TO indicate the
natural wealth New-York. In the Art Galleries ex'
cept In the department OF Photography the exhibits
from this state are mcager unsatisfactory. The
State Building is simply an ordinary villa No visitor
would be likely to learn OF the great State Of NewY0rk

Secrets OF the BallOt.RlX.

The following comes from Chicago !:
" A prominent ward politician belonging
to the Peoples party having become an
gered " 18th Mayor Colvin because that
gentleman has fPiled to reward his SER
vices in accordance with promises, has
written letter to the Tribune exposing
the corrupt practices of his party at the
charter election last April. Mayor Col
vim is holding over by virtue of the cleo
ton, and if the allegations are true he
is well aware that the charter was car
ried by fraud. This informant states
that he saw 500 fraudulent ballots cast
by one man with the countenance of the
Judges, and informed the Mayor of the
fact the same day, and was congratulated
by him on the victory obtained in this
fraudulent manner. The story is
straightforward, and is likely to make a
stir equal to anything which has trans
pired here in the whisky business.
There has been suspicion of fraud from
the first, but this is the frstdirect tes-
timOny."

Longevity of Philadelpbians.

The Philadelphia Ledgcr is response
bic for the statement that 675 persons
254 men and, 421 aUonlerl-died in that
city in 1875 at the age of 80 and beyond.
Thirteen men died at the age of 90, eight
at 81, two at 90, three at SO, four at 81,
one at 50, three at 90, two ut 81, one at
SO, one at SO, two at 102, one 103, and
one at 10S. The women did better still.
Sixteen lived to be 90 only, eight held
on till 81, seven died at 90, two at SO,
six at 81, nine at 50, two at So, four at
81, seven at 90, one at 80, there reached
101 each, two 102, and one 105. Nine per-
sons reached the age of 100-a fact which
strikingly confirms the mortality tables of
the insurance companies, which prophesy
that one in every hundred thousand will
attain that age.

Queer Use Of a Pneumatic Tunnel.

Who beside an American would have
conceived the idea of using an abandoned
tunnel for a rifle range, or where will
you find rifle gallery with a range OF
1000 yards right in the heart of a big
cityg All this has been done, and NAV
be seen in this city of New York. The
Beach pneumatic tunnel, which was dug
under Broadway, commencing under the
Devlin building, on the corner of War
rem street, was, as your metropolitan
readers are aware, failure for the want
of funds to carry out the original plan.
1t was exhibited to the public for two
years, but there isn't much attractiveness
to the public III hole in the ground, so
it was simply closed, until last fall, when
it was converted into rifle range under
the name of Creedmoor, Jr.," and
there are rifle matches there every few
days by teams, composed of rival en-
ployes of various firms, in the same style
as the baseball matches of the summer
season. 1t is a success as business en-
terprise, and affords the city buck good
opportunity to practice rifle shooting at
any distance without going off into the
country.-N'cU York Letter.

Secretary of the Navy directing the United

Secretary Bristow has been interviewed re-
garding the reiterated stories of GOODNESS be
tween himself and the President. He pro
nounces them all and singular al having not
the shadow OF foundation, and says his rela-

entered the Cabinet.
Assistant Secretary Cowan, of the Interior
Department has resigned.
The rumor is telegraphed from Washington
that Minister Schenck has rendered his resig-
nation.
The Committee on Elections of the Senate
have decided to investigate the charges of
bribery and corruption against Senator Spen-
GER of Alabama.
A subcommittee of the Committee on Com
merce has nearly finished the River and Hal
Dor Appropriation bill, and proposes to author
ize an expenditure of about So, 600, 600 during
the next fiscal year.
President Grant is said to be opposed to the
transfer of the Indian Bureau from the Inte-
rior to the control of the War Department.
A Washington dispatch says the Appropria-
ton Committee has so far reduced the Legisla-
tive Appropriation bill from 500, 100000 to
S17000,000 and expect to go to $4,000 900
before the bill is entirely disposed of. This
amount will be So 900, 900 less than last year 8

asked for this year.
One of pinchback's supporters in the Senate

The Best Dog Story Yet.

The Portland (Me.) Press of Thurs
day tells it thus: yesterday, rs the
morning train over the Rochester Road
was nearing Alfred, the engineer discov-
cred large Newfoundland dog on the
track. He blew the whistle, but the dog
stood his ground, and thinking some
thing was wrong the engineer whistled
down brakes and the engine stopped
within few feet of the dog. 1t seems
that four-ox load of logs had attempted
to cross the track, but the sled caught
on the rails. The driver heard the train
approaching round curve, and rushed
down the track to stop it. His dog took
in the situation and dashed around the
curve and stopped the train. 1t would
have been impossible to stop the train
after seeing the man."
