An ADyiL Fool Joke,

For several weeks past large number OF
invitations have been sent out from Phila-
delphia, fifteen thousand in all, to grand
display, that it was stated would be made
to-day upon the Centennial grounds in the
buildings recently erected by the Japanese
1t would consist of the unveilng of Japan
ese gods, games of different kinds, fun,
frolic and amusement generally. Out OF
the fifteen thousand invitations sent out, it
is thought that at least five thousand have
been accepted, and to day there will he that
number fooled upon the great Japanese
exhibition, for nothing of the kind takes
place, but it was intended as good way to
keep up the old custom of April Fool. Sew
eral cards of invitation have reached Viii
mington, and those who have them will nc
doubt, after seeing this item, not 60 tt
Philadelphia to-day.

up to March Is. The volcanoes of Killauia
and Meknawsaweo are reported in active
eruption. There was much rejoicing in
Honolulu over the premature announce

put the reciprocity treaty in operation and
the people are much disappointed on learn
ing that there was no foundation for the
report.
A good deal of excitement existed in the
Island over the address of many leading
citizens in reference to the deplorable con.
dition OF things and the absolute urgency
for action on the part of the crown and
ministry. Some very acrimonious published
correspondence had resulted therefrom. Ia
the matter is involved the proposition to
encourage emigration from Japan China

WASHING TON, March 31.-Mr. G. +.
Bell. of jackson, testified this morning be
fore Mr.. Clymer's Committee that he ap-
piled to Belknap in June, 1872, for the post
leadership at Fort Davis, Texas. Belknap
asked if the post was worth 81, 1000 to him
and if he would pay that for it; the witness
replied that he would not pay anything for
it. Belknap thereupon dismissed him say
ing he could not give appointments to ev-
cry one who applied.
He further testified that he was appointed
secret agent of the Pension Office at the rec.
ommepdation of President Grant and
Luckey in February, 1876, and was engaged
as detective in the Babcock trial, under the
employ of Luckey. He was to find out
what evidence the Government had against
Babcock. He found out the case against
Babcoek was very weak and SO reported
that he believed the attack on Babcock was
directed against the President. He went
through the case and came to the c0nclu-
sion Babcock was guilty and told Grant so.
A few DAYS afterwards he was dismissed
and the proposition was made to him to get
evidence from the District Attorneys o.
| flee and destroy it but he refused.
The President told him If Babcock was
guilty, he wanted him convicted. He be
leyed this, and told him of his convictions.
Witness showed all the papers and cores
pondence between Luckey and himself, and
gave Clymer the keys of the cyphers used
by them. Witness said that he gave the
information to the New York Herald, and
FAC sinatle of cypher published in the
Herald. He was dismissed by Secretary
Chandler soon after his article was pub
lished in the Herald The President want
ed him to find out If thsre was a conspi
racy against Babcock. If he was moi
guilty, the President did not want him per
secuted Witness was employed by both
parties in st. Louis, he having warned
Dyer that Babcock and Luckey wanted
him to get evidence for them and destroy
it. The only purpose of his employment
in the Pension Office was to work for Bah

To say that il is the only direct line to the
Centennial is the truth. To say IT is the hest

globe, and most money expended to make It
so, is the truth That il reaches all prOmi-
nelt points East, including Pittsburg, Harris :
burg, Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia,
New York and Boston, is the truth. That
passengers can go Off they wish it, by Balti-
more and Washington, without extra cost, to
Philadelphia, over the Fort Wayne and Penn
sylvania Road, without changing cars, is the
truth. That the fares are always as low as
any other route, is the truth. That it is the

from Chicago TO Philadelphia and New York,
is the truth.
Whenever excursion parties are given rates
over the Fort Wayne and Pennsylvania Rail
way TO Philadelphia, or any point East, tickets
are furnished at the time, and no misrepres-
