The presentation of the Exhibition to
the President of the United States was
made in a speech by President Hawley,
of the United States Commission, as
follows:
Mr.. PREsIDENT-Five years ago the Pres
ident of the United States declared it fitting
that the com pletion of the first century Of
our national existence should be commem-
GRATED by an exhibition Of the natural
resources OF the country and their develop
ment, and of the progress In those arts
which benefit mankind, and ordered that an
exhibition OF American and foreign arts,
products and manufactures should be held
under the auspices of the Government of the
United States, in the city Of Philadelphia,
in the year 1876. To put into effect the sew
eral laws relating to the Exhibition, the
United States Centennial Commission was
consequently composed of two Commission.
ers from each State and Territory, nominated
by their respective Governors and appointed
by the President Congress also created our
auxiliary and associate corporation. The
| Centennial Board of Finance, whose unex-
pectedly heavy burden has been nobly
borne, and the remarkable and prolonged
disturbance Of the finances and industries OF
the country, have greatly magnifed their
task, but we hope for favorable judgment
of the degree OF success attained.
July 4, 1878, this ground was dedicated TO
its present use. Twenty-one months ago
this Memorial Hall was begun. All the
other 1s0 buildings within the inclosure

All the buildings embraced in the plans OF
the Commission itself are finished. The de-
mands of applicants exceeded the space

MCKEE, the convicted whisky con-
spirator, will escape many of the in
dignities of prison life, including the
wearing of cOnvict's suit, by his sem
tence to the st. Louis county Jail instead
of to the state penitentiary. Judge
Dillon, in sentencing him, said that this
mitigation of his punishment was due to
consideration for his wife and family.
OF McKee's sentence. his newspaper, the
st. Louis Globe, Democrat, says:
"We were unwilling to have it said
that he (McKee) was making use of a
newspaper in which he happened to be a
large owner, to obtain vindicatiOn be-
fore the people, after his vindication or
condemnation had been submitted to ju-
dicial determination. Now, however,
that final action has been taken and
final judgment rendered in the courts,
we think we but echo the popular senti-
ment in pronouncing the sentence ex-
tremely, If not unwarrantably, harsh
and severe, and out of all proportion to
the degree of criminality legally es-
tablished and proved"

Nv Accident.

In almost every instance, accidents are
the direct result of carelessness. Find
ing can containing gunpowder ON the
kitchen table, a lad deposited it on the
kitchen stove, near which little brother
and sister were playing. The conse-
quence of this experiment was that the
Kitchen was blown one way and the
house another, and the children, includ-
ing the author of the sport, disseminated
over an adjacent eight-acre lot. 1t Is
probable that the parent of this dis
persed, but luckily not seriously injured
brood, is now sorry that he did not put
the can on an upper shelf; but such
tardy repentance never brings back the
kitchen which has been shot off the end
of the homestead, nor the fireside goods
which are scattered in fragments about
the neighboring gardens and barnyards.
This occurrence impels us to a passing
observation upon the incredible care
