LIARS are numerous; they are found

not all men sinners? Happily a great
dead of the lying is self destructive, and a
lot more i balanced by other lying. There
Is no region where one may say: Here
at last, am beyond the reach of lies; "

may be sure that all men will ALWAYS tell

Paris Exhibition of 1878.

The committee appointed to consider the question of the Paris Universal Ex- hibition of 1878 has framed it's report. | The site recommended covers a surface of 270, 900 meters, 10, 900 more than was occupied in 1887, including spaces of the Champ de Mars and of the Troca- dero, on either side of the Seine the building will be of iron, filled in with brick masonry, and roofed with glass, and in the interest of economy the form of construction recommended issuch that the iron material will be saleable at the close of the exhibition. The central building, hanked with large gardens, is to be disposed in the form of what is known ill arithmetical phraseology as O Table of Pythagoras-each aisle, longi-, tudinally followed, presenting a series of similar products, while transverseiy each separate nation exhibiting is passed in review. A rectangular space in the. immediate center will be apportioned to the fine arts. From the side of the edifice facing the Seine a gallery will run across the river, connecting the larger portion of the building with the Trocadero. The gallery is to be @ kilometer and half in length and about fifty meters wide. There will be shops on either side of 1t, and 1t is expected to present from either end very effec- tive coup d'aRl. The Trocadero di- vision of the exhibition will be devoted to agricultural products and engineer ing industry, while the higher portion of the hill will be crowned by a vasthall, in which the official ceremonies and gatherings for concerts, etc., incidental to the occasion will be held. It is proba- ble that subdivisions of this hall will be set apart for various purposes, such as committee, lecture aud reception rooms. So soon as the principal points in the programme of the committee have been approved, definite plans for carrying them out will be invited and decided upon, the State reserving to itself ab- solute freedom of accepting or reject ing them in accordance with what the committee may deem most consistent with the general interests of the e1hibi- tion.

Celebrating the Fourth.

The officers of the Louisiana Associ- ated Veterans of the Mexican war have issued an address, calling upon the whole people of the State to unite in a celebration of the Centennial in New Orleans. They say: "It is very impor- tant to impress upon the rising genera tion, as well as upon the great number of our citizens who have, in person or by immediate ancestry, immigrated to the United States during the period of peace and prosperity, the sacrifices necessary to secure the form of govern ment and immense progress thereby &C., complished. A very small portion of our people can visit the Centennial celebration at Philadelphia on account of the cost and distance. A State cele- bration would, then, unite our whole people on practical perception of the value of our Union, and especially of the sacrifices necessary to establish and maintain it. They would be less dis posed to think slightly of the treasure which they have inherited, and which they should not waste or barter away. 1t would, indeed, be well if the whole American people could unite at their homes in a common acknowledgement, on the same day and hour, of the favor which God has vouchsafed our country, with a sincere and simultaneous prayer that he will continue the same protec- tion for centuries to come, or so long as the public and private virtues of the American people deserve it."

How to Go to Church Properly.

A match has been broken off in Chi cago between the male and female scions of two promising families, who, it had been thought, would have made an ex- cellent marriage, since she was young and handsome, and he was old and rich. It appears, however. that they had an ir- reconcilable quarrel on a very vital sub ject. He was a very wise man, who used to say that time was money, and un- punctuality was the thief of time, and so on, and, when they were discussing their married life, she said "Next Easter, you'll give me the loveliest hat and dress in Chicago, won't you, pretty 2" He said he would. "And," she con tinued, "youu take pew iu the very front of the most fashionable church 2" "I will, ' he said. "And," she said, "we'u always go to church nice and late, won't we?" "Nice and early, my love-" he said, correcting her. "No. I mean nice and late, of course," she an swered. "But, my dear" he remon- strated, "t time is money, as Solomon say. If were seen going to church late people would think was slothful in business serving the bank. Why do you wish to cultivate the unlovely habit of unpunctuality 2" "Oh, because" she replied, when you go to church late every one turns round'to look at you and see what you have on. Do you think I'm heathen, and don't want to go to church properly2" Alas to be wroth with one we love doth work like madness in the brain, and the match is nH
