The House Committee on Terri
tories has agreed to report favor
ably on Delegate PattersOn's bill,
to enable residents of Territories
in the United State to elect their
own officers. This will relieve the
President of the power to appoint
Territorial Governors and other
officials, and place it in the hands
of the people of the Territories.

LIGHTS AND SHADES.

These occur | and alternate at
every stage of human life and in
every occupation in which men
may be engaged. High and low,
rich and poor, the king and the
serf, alike have their lights and
shades. There is no exemption
from tn csc changes. They come
sometimes without any warning
or premonition, and we are pow
erleSs to prevent their occurrence.
The man rolling in wealth and
luxury, with all the comforts and
pleasures that money can buy,
and thinking, perhaps, that he is
secure against the storms and
vicissitudes of the world, is by no
means secure against the shades.
How often do we see such men,
by some unforeseen misfortune
suddenly stripped of their wealth
and brought to the lowest depths
of financial ruin; brought from
the lights down into the shades
of life? It is very lamentable,
but it is true. And these things
are occurring every day, all over
the civilized world. And cannot
these shades be averted ? No,
not always. The best sagacity
and business foresight sometimes
4 fail to discover the impending
I ruin until the crash comes, and
then it is too late. But it is not
always So. There are some men
who ride above the tempest and
the storm sand never feel the
shades. By superior business sa-
gacity and intense application,
coupled with good fortune, or
what is commonly called good
luck, they succeed in all their un-
dertakings and never experience
the dark shades oflife. But these
belong to the exception, and not
to the rule. Life is made up Of
light and shade, ofjoy and sorrow,
of fortune and misfortune, and
we must all take our chances, and
happy is he who acts wisely un-
der the best light that he posses
ses.~ Wealth does not always con-
fer happiness.
Look at Stewart, the recently
deceased millionaire. His was a
life of intense application to &C.
quire many millions. What good
does his money do him now? He
is to-day as poor as the poorest
pauper who lies beneath the sod.
He had while he lived, with all
his wealth, only the shades of life,
and ~ has gone to the eternal
shades, as poor as he came into
the world. But it is in a new,
frontier mining country, like Ari-
IONA, that the lights and shades
of life are seen in most frequent
and marked contrast. Everything
is in state of transition from the
wildness of nature TO the staid
condition of civilized life; sudden
and frequent changes occur; and
many men who are on the light
side of the picture to-day in the
anticipation of suddenly acquired
fortune, are in the shade tO-mOr-
row, by sad disappointment. This
must always be so, to some ex-
tent, but the shades will become
less frequent and the lights more
bright and general, as earnest
and active men press on with
energy and determination to con-
quer all obstacles in bringing to
light the hidden wealth of our
great Territory. We are glad to
know that our people are pressing
on with vigor, and the dark places
will soon be lighted up.

PHIL May 9th.-The
city presented a remarkable ap-
pearance to-day. Chestnut Street
and all the main thOroughfares
are decorated with bunting. In
dependence Hall is fitted up with
transparencies, calcium lights, etc.
Great progress has been made
to day in clearing the Exhibition
Buildings ofrubbish. Long trains
of cars loaded with empty boxes
and old lumber have been going
out of the grounds all day with
passengers. The principal build
ings are now in respectable shape
for pedestrians. There remains
however much carpentering to be
done in the foreign departments
of the great Exhibition Building.
That of the Government is in the
finest order and most advanced in
state of preparation, and nothing
is to be done but to clear away the
debris.
Invitations to participate in the
opening ceremonies tomorrow

and. These include Kings,
Queens, Emperors, and Presidents
Of foreign countries, foreign Min
listers, Consuls, Judges of Supreme

Opening of the Centennial Exhibi-
mountaineering Ceremonies.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa!s May TO-
The inaugural ceremonies of the
great American Centennial Exhi-
ton opened at quarter past 10 o.
clock this morning. The nation
al airs of all nations were perform
ed by large orchestras. Over 5O,-
600 people were on the grounds.
President Grant was escorted to
the main entrance by the military
at half past 10. Don Pedro, EN-.
peror of Brazil, arrived soon af-
ter, followed by Gen. Sheridan,
Hon. J. G. Blaine, Senator Jones
and Frederick Douglass. He was
conducted to a seat on the plat
form and greeted with cheers.
Wagner's Centennial Inaugur-
alton march was performed by
the orchestra. Then followed a
prayer by Bishop Simpson, and
Whittier's Hymn was sung with
grand effect.
Hawley now turned the Exhi-
bition Buildings over to the Pres
ident of the United States. Pres.
ident Grant formally accepted the
buildings. His speech closed as
follows: Whilst proud of what
we have done, we regret that we
have not not done more. Our
achievements have been great
enough, however, to make it easy
for our people to acknowledge su-
perior merit VIII erever found. And
now, fellow citizens, I hope a care
full examination of what is about
to be exhibited will not only ms
pire you with profound respect
for the skill and taste of oul
friends from other nations, but
will also satisfy you with the at
talnmentS made by our own peO'
pie during the past one hundred
years. l invoke your generous
cooperation with the worthy
Commissioners to secure a bril-.
liant success to this international
Exhibition, and to make the stay
of our foreign visitors. to whom
we extend a hearty welcome, both
profitable and pleasant to them.
l declare the International Exhi-
ton now OPEN" The President
was loudly cheered, the Emperor
of Brazil rising in his seat and
joining in the demonstrations by
waving his hat.

100 Much CT a Good Thiag.

II is very certain that we canrot have
too little Of a bad thing. It is jus. as true
that we may nave too much Of a COOL
thing. Any substance with a high favor
soon pals upon the senses. if we awe too
much of it, No hungry MAJ would car
to sit down to a dinner of confectionery.
Books made up of elegant extracts. or news
paper squibs. or miscellaneous aaeciotoa.
are rather dry reaiing. There are certHil
excellent qualities OF character which some
people have in excess. We know q few
persons whose chronic amiahlencss is SO
intense as to make them repu.sive. Yoa
do not caro- to see n man OF u womnn's face
wreathed with perpetual smiles. Others
weary you by their sedsten, s., -wooden
people. who mistake gravity for virtue.
Some takers offend you by their candor
and communieativeness; others By their
caution and reticence.
The man who censurea without discrimi-
nation is OF course u nuisance and 50 IS ne
who praises without discrimination Even
the Bible cautions us against being right
eous overmuoh;" and once in a great while
you fall in with a sanity person. whose
interest in the next world max Is him OBJ
livious of the duties which pertain TO the
present. There are good people who give
TOO much good advice, and sometimes wca.
out the patience Of saints MS wei as ~sinnors.
Parents may exercise too mrch restraint
over their children, ard teachers demand
too much study of their pupils. As a
general rule, we have too much talk and
too little action. Too many speeches are
n at public dinners and anniversaries
and meetings of all sorts. ~Clergymen arc
expected to preach too many sermons aad
occasionally may preach too long. Lawyers
are apt to traverse the universe in a case of
petit-larceny. Physicians, until recently.
gave too much medicine, but they an doing
better now. To many women try TO live
by n~eedle-wo-k, and too many men and
women try to earn something by their pen.
We have too much so-called philanthropy,
which, with the best intentions. onl. serves
to aggravate the evils which it seeks to
curei and too many societies do TIL work,
which would be much better and more
cheaply accomplished by n few. If the
percentage of receipts required by some of
these great institutions in order to keep
the machine in motion-cxpendcd in build
ings and salaries. and agencies u Id sta
t;onery-were generally understood, we are
inclined to think that many princsly be-
quests now bestowed upon them would DO
directed to other uses.

A Chinese Mathematician.

Wong ChinSfoo, the highly educn,el
Chinnman, rather " getaway" with & young
professor. at Grecncastle. on Friday oven
ing. During the course Of the evening, Mr..
Wong stated that, among the Chinese,
mathematicians were hired at 81 per week,
and were not as good as fhe most ordinary
men here. They do this work by ma
chinery, us it were. and it is the dirty labor
Of the Empire. When Mr.. Wong first came
to this country 10 enter college, he was
told that it would be neceFsary to study
mathematics two years he at once told
them he knew mathematics better than
those who were TO teach him in this par
ticular branch. Illustrative Of this, Wong. in
his address at Browns Hall, offered to foot
up several columns of figures. For
convenience his manager, Mr.. Hawkins.
was to name the figures, but the young
Professor Of Mathematics of Ashburg. who
was present, thought he saw a flaw there,
and at once came to his feet. He asked;
"WM you, sir, allow me to give you the
figures? P"
Certainly, sir, I shall be glad to ave
you do So" was Mr.. Wong's courteous an
swer.
"Now then, sir" began the Professor.
and he named sum upon sum-, not going be-
yond the tens Of thousands. but giving him
at least thirty different gums to add. When
they were all IN paper, Mr.. Wong asked,
And now is that all, sir ?"
"That's all" replied the Professor; /" get
ready to add"
Mr.. Wong stool smiling. and when the
Professor had Strengthened himself up and
said: NOW begin" he quietly remarked.
Very well, sir, here is my amount" This
before the astonished Professor had time to
get half way up the first column.
But you're not through already! y re-
marked the Professor.
"Here is the footing of my figures" was
the response; and he read them, the footing
being exact.
"Please read that again, SIR said the
Professor.
He did 30, and the astonishcd Professor
was forced to admit that he was right. The
Professor was astonished, and was forced to
admit that Mr., Wong did know something
about mathematics The Mandarin stated
that he was not an extraordinary mathe-
matician, as compared to some of the
educated Chinese.-Terre Haute Gazette.
