THE CENTENNIAL SHOW.-The New York MaI says of the coming Philadelphia Exposition:
 Only a fifty cent note will be re- ceived for admission. No change will be received, made or given by the honest men at the door.
 The Queens pictures are to be guarded day and night by a squad of policemen. They are said to be heavily insured in eight differ ent English companies.
 The parties who got the catalo. que have a big bonanza. The ad- Vertisements will pay nearly $74, GOO. and thIs is exclusive of the sale of the book on the grounds.
 It is feared that there vii be toe many fees exacted on the grounds, and that foreigners will have barely enough left to pay theil hotel bills and get home.
 A Philadelphia paper says "a polite justice will sit on the grounds continually" Why not let him up now and then to exer' else his legs and relieve the grounds !?
 Give the hotel keepers a wide berth. They have made up their mind to swindle you, and they will if they possibly can. Go to 8 boarding-hOuse, or better still visit some relative.

The ReviVelists and the Printers.

Brother Hammond, if he didn't stir up revival, certainly was successful in starting up a row in the Government Printing Office, at Washington, last week, that made things lively in the yellow washed pile for half d day. Ham. mOnd asked the Superintendent permission to enter the working rooms and pray, and exhort Oth- els to follow his example. This was refused. as it would create confusion and prevent work. He then asked to be permitted to pray in the hall way.
 "Well, if you've got a praying fit on you, pray by all neans, but draw it mild" said the Superin- tendent, wearied by the revival ist's impOrtunity.
 Hammond went into the hall, shouldered his jaw, and lifting up his mouth, began to crate on that charming and pleasant para graph, Depart, ye cursed, into everlasting hell firer Accord ing to the most approved style of preachers, he elevated his voice on the last word till the echo of fire p' sounded like a death warrant throughout the building. With vail of lamentatioh and woe the female employees, catch ing up the alarm, leaped from their work and rushed out of doors in a mixed up condition of fear, confusion and lOveliness, in- to the hall, where the revivalist stood preaching word of peace and preparing the way for the lamb. He thought the sudden stampede was due to the power of his eloquence and q strong de- sire to hear his sermon.
 That's right! that's right !" he cried. 'That's how 1 like to see it. I like to see you come booming along like Levi from his country tables, like Saul from his war-horse, like honey from the bees of Hybla, like" At this moment fresh stream of fright ened printers struck the astonish- ed crowd in the back, and the two combined went over the re- vivalist like swollen stream over sand bar. The astOnished di- vine was struck dumb with awe at the violence of their revival, and carried along under their feet the length of the hallway with such force that all the re- Vival was crushed out of him, and by the time he fell down two flights of stairs he hardly thought it worth while to continue his prayers for that day, and leaving the printing office to quiet itself the best way it could, took the first train for the other end of the city.

FIre-VaIuable Horse Burn ed Alive


About 1 a. m. Tuesday morning, the
barn OF j. NJ. Henson. on Rural street.
was discovered to be on fire, by some of
his neighborS, and Immediately after
ward policeman Blrdsall saw the light
and rang the fire bell. The first parties
who arrived at the place heard Mr.. Hen
sons favorite mare Betty" kicking
with all her might. but the flames had
made such progress that she could not be
gotten out, and the barn with all its con-
tents, including the horse, harness, top
buggy, quantity of feed, &c, was soon
destroyed. A shed running from it to
Mr.. Stotler's barn on the next lot. was
also destroyed, and the south end of Mr..
Stotler's barn was in blaze when the
IRE engine arrived and saved it. Mr.
Henson's loss is about $3.50, He was in
sured for $500. Mr.. Stotler's loss is about
$50, which is covered by insurance.
The origin OF the fire is unknown. and
cannot be accounted for. Mr.. Henson's
colored man, Phillip Dudley, had been
sleeping tn the barn, but ad Just moved
his quarters, and was not there on the
night OF the fire.
Mr.. Stotler desires that we shall return
his special thanks to the firemen and
ncighbors for their prompt and energetic
action in saving his property, and espec-
tally to Mr.. Waderhorn, who managed
the hose. and stood like a hero in the
scorching heat until the fire was subdued.
