PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

BY some strange oversight Lord Lyt-
ton left London for India without being
sworn in as a Privy Councillor, and thus
stands almost alone among the great State
officials, and can only by courtesy lay
claim to the title Of fright honorable"
The messenger who brought to the
Opera-house at Baltimore the news Of the

AT the Universalist Convention in
Lawrence last week, an incident occurred
which caused considerable merriment
among those IN the immediate vicinity,
the relation of which is worthy of wider
circulation. A member of the Lowell
Old Residents Association, residing in
Ward Six, was seated at the dinner table
between q reverend gentleman and a lady
with whom he was not acquainted, and ia
the course of the conversation, which had
turned on politics, this lady was asked
by the gentleman in question what was
her preference among the Congressional
nominees in this district. Her reply was
that If she had the privilege she should
vote for Mr.. Tarbox. Expressing some
surprise at the revelation, and telling her
she was on the losing side, he added, IN
his blunt way: 81 should like to know
your name, that I may send my condo
lence on the 7th of November" At this
point mutual acquaintance came to the
rescue, and gracefully presented the lady
as the wife Of the Hon. John z. Tarbox,

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.
On account of the rain tho closing cere-
monies of the Centennial Exhibition, in
stead of being held outdoors, took place
inside of Judges Hall, which was filled
with an audience of many thousands.
Among the occupants of the platform were

prehension OF our position and progress.
shortcomings in some respects, and we shall
profit by the lessons. And yet l gathered
from my countrymen the general impress
sion that they are not little pleased 10 see
how well our productions in many de-
partments have borne the comparison
to which they have been subjected. I'm
questionably, international trade and COM
mcrce will be promoted; our manufac ur-
ers, mechanics and artists will show by their
work that they have been close students of
the admirable exhibits from abroad, and
have ken advantage thereof.
The Commission thanks the city of Phila-
delphia, the State Of Pennsylvania, the Ma
our honored President. 1t thanks the For
eign Commissioners, one and all, most
heartily. 1t thanks the exhibitors, of all
nations. 1t thanks the American people,
whose conduct here has commanded un-
broken respect. 1t thanks warmly its asso-
ciate corporation, the Board of Finance.
Above all, it reverently acknowledges the
kind favor of Heaven, which has SO smiled
upon us that, while we turn some~ hat sadly
from these scenes of great labor and greater
pleasure, all who have been associated here
may feel that they have done something to-
ward advancing the world to the better day
coming. God be praised for the past. God
send us all, individuals and nations, a
happy future.
The original flag of the American

of Lord Beaconsfeld's speech favoring Tur-
key had been received. He expressed his
most ardent desire that the conference at
Constantinople might be successful, but
said II the necessary guarantees could not be
given for carrying out Russia's demands,
he should act Independently and vigorously.
He was convinced the whole of Russia
would respond to his summons should he
consider that Russian honor required it.
Berlin, Paris, and London dispatches of the
18th say this speech had produced the pro-
foundest alarm throughout Europe, and al
most precipitated q panic upon the various
stock boards. Its tone was considered ex-
tremely warlike. .--.--
A CALCUTTA dispatch to the London
Times, received in London on the 18th, says
the loss. of life in India, caused by the late
cyclone, would reach from 10000 to 10000.
A HAVANA dispatch of the 18th says the
United States frigate Franklin, with VIM.
NJ. Tweed on board, arrived at St. Thomas
on the 9Th, after a tempestuous voyage
Tweed was in excellent health. The Frank
lin ran short of coal, and was compelled to
stop at Ct. Thomas to replenish. She sailed
for New York on the Sth.
HONOLULU papers received in San Fran
cisco announce the arrival at the form
or place of the brig Three Brothers,
with 100 of the crew of the whaling feet
abandoned in the Arctic. The statements
made by the masters of the Three Brothers
and Arctic, are corroborative of the story of
those masters of the abandoned ships who
reached San Francisco.
THROUGHOUT Europe on the 18th the
Eastern question had assumed an exceeding.
ly grave aspect. The conduct of Russia was
considered extremely aggressive and that of
Turkey vacillating and calculated to menace
the peace of Europe. The Sublime Porte
had telegraphed to its represent atives abroad
that it should insist, as a condition prece-
dent to any negotiation, that the integrity
Of the Ottoman Empire should be guaran-
tecd by the comforting Powers. Berlin,
Vienna, Paris and London dispatches pre-
dicted the failure of the Conference. Russia
was daily withdrawing her Consuls from
the interior of Turkey.
RUMoRs of Fenian raid prevailed at
Montreal, Canada, on the 18th, and the Do
minion Government were gathering troops
secretly to meet the anticipated invasion.
