He Had Been to the Centennial.

A bashful appearing man stepped into the editorial room the other evening, and edging up to the table of the man. aging editor, hat in hand, said, in @ hesitating way:
 "You like little items for your paper, suppose2"
 Certainly" replied the editor; ga newspaper, like life, is made up of little items. What have you to offer9"
 "Well," said the bashful man, play ing with his hat band, "my name is Smith, John Smith, and I've just got lome."
 "Glad to see you back again, MT. Smith; been gone long9"
 "I've been, said MT. Smith, with a tremor of pride in his voice. " to the Centennial, and if you want to make 8 little notice"-

 Spear shook hands very warmly with Mir. Smith, and then ran to the aperture communicating with the reporters room below and shouted: 'Shaunnessey, come in here, quick, here's man that's been to the Centennial 1"
 Then O'Shaunnessey bounced in, fol- lowed by his assistants, all of whom em- braced the bewildered Smith warmly, and expressed qualification it afforded them to meet a man who had been to the great national Exhibition. Word got down stairs, somehow, and several others came up stairs at tearing rate to gaze upon the individual who had been to the Exposition. It was too much for the modest man to bear, and murmuring something about making an item of his return if they wanted to, he hurried out just in time to meet on the stairs the foreman and thirty-two com positors, all eager to get glimpse of the man who had "been to the Oenten- pio1 D

4 POlack Wedding.

A Milwaukee paper, describing Pc lack wedding in that city. says: And wha t do you think the bride was dressed in A blue satin dress. and green glass breastpin? Not exactly, but blue dress, green sash, white tarletan veil, and was attended by bridesmaids in green dresses, red sashes, and wreaths of white artificial flowers. They formed a procession at the brides residence. First, the bride and attendants; then the groom and his supporters then the friends and the crowd which always &C., companies such pageant all this pre- ceded by band of music, larger or smaller, as the means of the groom will allow; with 8 running accompaniment of pistol firing and noises of all kinds. They then marched from the house to the church, where the priest performed the ceremony, after which they adjourn ed to some saloon, where they danced all night, till broad daylight, and went home with the girls in the morning. {" And that is Polack style.

The Decadence of Hallone,en.

The glory of this once popular festi- val has departed, says the ZSuees. Its triumphs and rough jollities, festivals and strange rites are matters of history, and live only in the immortal verse of Burns and traditional lore. The timid Amaryllis of these more prosaic times does not trust her matrimonial fate to the doubtful chance of picking out, bhndfolded, the basin of dirty or clean water, or of depending for "weel faur'd man on the likelihood of "poo- ing "at the stroke of midnight straight rooted "kail runt."z There are still kept up in the western and rural parts of southern Scotland and Ireland some of the rough old games peculiar to this festival, but all over the world, wher- ever Scotchmen, Englishmen or Irish men are domiciled, the trail of civiliza- tion is over them all. Evening parties, with ring hid mysteriously away in some elegant work of the pastry cook s genius, have taken the place of the great " black pot ' full of mashed pota- toes and milk, around which the guests gathered and supped "spoon and spoon alike" until they all became puffel out like plethorie bailies. u The rough reel BLU JAS AdNo pc6u E6p1hCGO OJ bu0 S0uuC- tive waltz or pleasant quadrille, and the hilarious "hoohs and chatter of hob nailed boots, which in olden times made roof and rafters dirl, mingling in in. harmonious numbers with the squeak ing of 8 villainous old fiddle have been succeeded by the rustling of silks, the soft breathing of whispered love, or un- meaning prattIe, and the strains of the high-toned Centennial prize pianoforte. Like the curious marriage and funeral customs of old, strange mixture of pa- gan and Christian, and peculiarly social customs, the old Halloween revelries are gone. Even in New York, among the Scotch inhabitants, they live in the memory only as traditions-pleasant traditions, it is true, but never to be re- viyed or re- e-enacted on this earthly stage. In few. years, when the older genera tion gives place to the new, when modern social customs shall have effectively Gro wded out of existence the antique pleasantries of older conditions of so- cieties, the heirs of civilization " will laugh at the sabsurdities of "the old folks and be laughed at in their turn hereafter.

A Useful Suggestion.

Most of the city and town halls dotted over our country are, from the outside, nothing to boast of, and inside look as gaunt and grim as whitewash and gray paint can make them. It has been pointed out recently how much better it would be if these bare walls were adorned with paintings on grand scale, illustrative of the lives of famous citi- zens and the noteworthy incidents of local history. The capture of fort ; the invention of steam engine the discovery of an unknown sea; the lonely watch of the astronomer the writing of some famous book these and kindred all the poetry of art. The influence of such paintings on the community would subjects might well be represented with be immense. Every attendance at. a public meeting would be lesson in. aesthetics, and silent stimulus to every citizen to distinguish himself by deeds of usefulness and heroism. Money spent thus ill decoration would never show return in pounds, shillings and pence but it might yield rich harvest of noble deeds and many Q quiet, sleepy little town can boast of incidents to which the highest art will find it difficult to do justice.

Slaughter of s2O,OOO Bulgarians.

The Cologne Gazette observes that Bulgaria has on several occasions fig nred in history as the scene of "atroci- ties" no less horrible than those lately committed by the Bashi- Bazouks. The Greek Emperor Basilius II. was nick named Bulgaroktonos because he ordered 15,000 Bulgarian prisoners to have their eyes put out, few only be- ing left with one eye in order that they might guide their fellow prisoners back to their homes. Even more atrocious was the massacre of the Gothic settlers in Bulgaria. The much praised Elm peror Claudius IT. gives the following account of this massacre in letter cited by the historian Trebellious Polio Cladius to Brocchus- We have destroyed 320,OO0 Cloths and sunk 2,O00 ships. The rivers are covered with shields, their banks with spears and bikes, and the fields with bones; no road is free from blood the huge barricade of wagons is deserted; and we have cap- tured so many women that each of our conquering soldiers can take two or three for his share.

How he Felt.

One man, leaning against the railing around Franklin's statue, in Printing House square, New York, waiting for the settlement of the election question, said softly to friend, while his eyes had "far off stare "I'm most done gone crazy over this thing, it's so con. sumedly mixed up.
