What England VIII Show.

A Philadelphia Tines correspondent
has been interviewing Col. Herbert
b. Sandford, the heal of the English
Centennial commission. Col. s. says
the Centennial is thee months in ad-
vance of Vienna's time at correspond
ing juncture in her exhibition, and he is
specially pleased withthe quiet and in
telligent steadfastness of purpose and
effectiveness of action which are marked
characteristics of the Centennial authori-
ties. The particular exhibits OF the
East India department will be specimens
of all the raw products of the East In
dies, such as cotton grains, oil sesd,
woods, ETC., rs vel as manufactured
articles, such as silks, cotton goods,
muslins, cashmere shawls, carpets, etc.
There are twenty-five cases of these
goods at hand, beside, many of the glass
cases in which they ME to be exhibited.
These glass cases will be feature in our
exhibition, being made by the principal
casemaker of the British section. There
are fifteen nom commissioned officers and
men of the royal engineers and metro
politan police. These latter will be used
chiefly AZ special brce to guard the
British exhibits. They will be in uni
form during the exhibition, and will be
more as an ornament than otherwise.
They will be under command OF Chief
Inspector o. Hagen, who went up the
river on the Lord Clive. Among these
men will be noticeable Sergeant Giles.
He is one of the picked men OF the
5000 men of the Lonlon police, who are
selected to walk behind the queens car
riage when she goes to open Parliament.
You ask, how will ulr exhibits at this
exposition compare With those In other
countries and nc othersxpositions 7 Well,
we arc we k in agricultural machinery,
but in all other thingi we'll do very well
in comparison with other exhibitions

the foreign exhibitors this time from

gard this occasion in light which is
above and beyond the usual trade as
poets, there being disposition to OK
hibit from the sentimental idea of show
ing the results of the old world civiliza-
tion as compared with that of the new,
and coping, as it were, in n peaceful war
fare for the mastery il the arts of peace,
a sort Of practical continuation Of the
theory upon which the Geneva arbitra
ton was carried to its admirable conclu
sion. AS to the value OF our exhibits
cannot make any approximation, for the
reason that, unlike some of the othel
nations, such as Japan, whose govern
ment appropriates 9l20, 900 for the pur
pose, the government of Great Britain
only supplies the staff of managers an(
care-takers, leaving the quantity anC
value of the collections to the differen
exhibitors, without granting any sub

Educating a Trick Horse.

"There," said Mr.. Harrison, pointing
to him, az raised him myself. He's
raising nine, now, and just as good an
animal as he ever WAS. Come here,
Charley" The animal came up to him,
and stood locking at me with his head
over his masters shoulder.
'' Is ho trick horse"
Yes, but ] don't often use him for
that. He can walk on his hind legs,
and dance, and drink out of bottle /;
but that's always empty. 1 usually do
only the Arab and his dying steed. -"
How did you train him ?"
"By kindness-that's the only way
to be sure. OF course you can make any
animal obey by leathering him enough ;
but then some time when you amt look
ing out hell play you an ugly trick
balk when you're jumping, to let you
tumble on the ground, or rear and fall
backwards on you. They're cunning
about that sort of thing. I've seen q
splendidly educated horse come into the
ring and just stand still-not do single
trick, and seem to enjoy to see his mas
ter hooted at"
"What is tho method of educating
| animals 2"
"Well, with different animals there's
different ways. With horses and dog
you show 'em first what you want done
and show 'em often enough for them t,
understand it. When l show them sew
eral times they find out what you wan
done, and do it themselves. Then 1 re
ward them on the spot. It's all easy
you've only to keep your temper and b
kind. Some horses learn very quickly
but that kind forget justas soon. 1 lik
best slow horse, because he'll remem

Washington First Circles.

The New York Tribune gives the fol-
lowing angular picture of what it calls
"the first circles" OF Washington:
There is no fashionable society in any
part of the world which bears much re-
semblance to that of our Washington
court. Here alone democracy asserts
itself at tho private dinner table and
the evening party, and social extremes
meet on terms of equality in the parlor.
The best company and the worst mingle
with outward show of cordiality. The
most fastidious of gentlemen, whose
thorough good breeding i. inherited
from two centuries OF gentle ancestors,
and with whom elegance is a second ma
ture, bends over the hand of q Con-
gressman's wife who has not yet learn
ed that verb must agree with its nomi-
native case, and that the nose is not one
of the organs of speech; while Lady
CLARA We're de We're gives her arm to q
red faced legislator with dyed mus
tache who fitted himself for Congress by
keeping liquor shop. If any personal
qualifications are necessary for admis
sion to the first circles of Washington
it would be hard to define what they
are. Good manners are not required
nor good education, nor ready speech
Official title is passport, but even tha
may be dispensed with. A reputable
moral character is not needed. Anybod,
with decent clothes is good enough fo
guest, and anybody with none,
enough to give ball becomes leade
of fashion.
