THE OPENING CEREMONIES.
The Centennial Exhibition The Opening
Day-July 4th, 1876.

The ceremonies at the opening of the
Centennial exhibition are pretty nearly
determined upon. The President of the
United States, attended by the heads of de-
partments, distinguished guests, representa-
tives of foreign governments, judges of the
supreme court, members of the Senate and
the House of Representatives, representa-
tives of the several States and Territories,
the Centennial commissioners and foreign
commissioners-all these will participate.
But the most stupendous "time' will
be had on the fourth of July. according
to the written assurance of a gentleman
concerned in the preparations, the cere-
monies on that day twill be of grander,
more imposing character than those which
have attended any event of modern times,
either in Europe or America" They will
consist in part of a musical performance,
the assemblege of the military and civic
organizations of the country and the unveil-
ing of appropriate statues.
The morning will be announced from
the old State House by the great bell Of
peace, the gift of a citizen of Philadel phia
for the occasion. The bell, now casting,
will weigh $4,000 pounds, and is inscribed
with the words:
proclaim Liberty throughout all the
Land, and to the inhabitants thereof
Glory to God in the Highest Peace on
Earth, and Good Will to Men,"
The musical performance will be di-
rected by Theodore Thomas.
The military display will be superin,
tended by high officer of the general
government. The Philadelphia park com
mission has furnished free camping ground
for portion of the volunteers to be as
sembled from different sections of the
Union Barracks will be erected, furnish
ing cheap and comfortable lodgment for
soldiers. Already official notification has
been received of the attendance of more
than $4,000 equipped men.
VIM. NJ. Evarts will deliver the fourth
of July Grafton, and the Declaration Of
independence will be read by Richard
Henry Lee.

SINGULAR FUNERAL RITES.

The funeral rites of kings and their
wives in some parts of Angola, Africa, are
peculiar. A shallow pit is dug in the floor
of the hut in which he or she died, Just en-
odgh TO contain the body. This is placed
naked in the trench on its back, and then
covered with thin layer Of earth On this
three fires are lighted and kept burning a
whole moon or month, the hot ashes being
constantly spread over the whole grave
At the end of this time the body is usually
sufficiently baked or dried it is then taken
out and placed on its back on an open
framework of strick, and fires kept burn
ing under it till the body IS thoroughly
smoke dried During the whole time the
body is being dried, the hut IN which the
operation is performed is full of people, the
women keeping up a dismal crying day and
night, particularly the latter When the
body is completely desiceated it is wrapped
in cloth and stuck upright in a corner of
the tent, where it remains until it is buried,
sometimes two years after. The reason
for this is that all the relations of the de
ceased must be present at the burial cerc-
mony, when the body is wrapped in as
many yards of cloth as they can possibly
afford, some of the kings being rolled in
several hundred yards of different cloth.
At the close of the burial, a wake or feast,
consisting of dancing with firing of guns
and consumption of rum, roast pig and
other food, is held for the whole night. 1t
is believed that the spirit of the dead per-
son will haunt the town where he died, and
commit mischief, if the wake is not held.

At q meeting of the Conference Committees

The Bulletin, Friday morning, CON-
menting on the resolution, was by no
means fattering to Mr.. Finnerty, and
this morning Mr.. Finnerty publishes
card in reply, the burden OF which Is an
attack upon Mr.. Howard and his lot
terry, whom, 1t is stated, owns the B,tl-
letin. We suggest that neither the
ownership Of the Bulletin nor the char
acter OF Mr.. Howard Is involved In this
controversy.
The lottery, we believe, is demoral-
lxing institution. Mr.. Howard may or
may not own the Bulletin. Be that as
1t may, IL the attacks Of the clubs and
Of the Bulletin upon Mr.. Finnerty and
the manner Of the registration at No. So
Delta and No. 66 Front streets are based
upon facts, the attacks are justifiable.
The question Is simply one Of facts, sus-
ceptible OF proof or refutation, and we
think they demand a thorough investi-
cation. We have said, time and again,
that the people demand that only
worthy men shall be in the lead in
this canvass from the organiza-
fion Of the clubs to the nomination
OF the State ticket. Responsible parties
have made publicly the gravest charges
against the registrators referred to,
and these charges must be met with
more than ''you lie, you
villain, you lie." There should be a
and full revision Of these regis
trars by disinterested and entirely re-
sponsible: e:men. II this Is done and the
turn out to be fair, that
will be better yindication Of Mr.. Fin
nerty than g hundred cards. i
