The Illustrated History of the Centennial Exhibit
and ali the objects Of Interest exhibited in them
BY James d. MeCabe, author Of the Centennial
History Of the United States. ETC. E@abellished
scenes in the Great Exhibition.
The National Publishing Co., of Phila-
delphia have issued large and hand
some volume bearing the above title
The intense interest everywhere mani
tested in the great Exhibition, and the
eager desire to obtain a complete and
connected account of it, will unquestion-
ably cause this book to have very ex-
tensive sale.
The History of the Centennial Exhi-
bition is not dry list of the articles ex-
hibited. 1t is a superb volume of S74
pages, from the pen of one of the most
popular authors of the day. MIR. Nc
Cabe received the constant and sympa-
thetic assistance of the Centennial au-
thorities, and enjoyed peculiar advanta-
ges in the preparation Of this work. He
went, note book in hand, through every
department of the Exhibition, and the
result of his labors is work Astounding
in brilliant descriptions of the great
Worlds Fair. He traces the history of
the great enterprise from its inception to
its triumphant closing day. He then
takes us through every part of the Ex-
hibition grounds, giving brilliant ac-
counts of every building and other fea-
ture of interest within them. We are
taken through the Main Building, Ma
chinery Hall, the Agricultural and Hor-
ticultural Halls, the Art Gallery, the
Government Building and all the other
structures, and our deepest attention ia
held all the time by the descriptions OF
the rare and beautiful objects contained
in them.
The book is written with a visor and
brilliancy which render it complete
ana life-like picture of the great World
Fair, and which make it invaluable to
all classes of our people. There is not
another book in print which gives one
fourth of the information contained in
this work. To those who have visited
the Exhibition it will be pleasing SOU
venir of their visit, and enable them to
recall the magnificent scenes thew have
witnessed Tothose who could not make
the journey, the book is necessity, for
it will enable them to enjoy the delights
of thorough acquaintance with the
great exhibition in the quietude of their
own homes.
The work is superbly illustrated. The
price is low and within the reach of all.
It is sold by subscription only, and the
publishers want agents in every county.

Anecdote of Prince Albert.

The late Prince Oonsort was not
iocose. but he was genial and de-
Ssirous to please. He told an anec-
dote of himself at one of the meet
ings of the Trinity Board, which
will bear repetition. When Balmo,
raj was being built for himself and
the Queen, he, knowing the pride
of the Highland chieftains, made 1t
a point to call upon them and pay
his respects. Early one morning
he went to the castle of the Mac
Farquharsons, and knocked several
times without eliciting any reply
beyond the deep baying of some
mastifs and stag-hounds. Perser-
vering, he. saw the massive door
cautiously opened just ajar, and a
bronzed face, surmounted with a
shaggy mass of red hair, thrust it.
self forth between the door and the
iamb.
"What for" said the owner of

gilie opened the door to its fullest
extent, letting the visitor see four
or five big dogs close behind him.
In real alarm, the Prince replied.

Intelligence from west Africa
shows that tho suppression of the
slave trade on the coast by the Eng
lish is sending thousands of poor
creatures to a cruel and miserable
death at the hands of negro chiefs.
These kings, as they are called with
out reason, no longer able to ex-
port the slaves they capture in their
raids upon helpless villages and un-
protected tribes, kill them as saori-
fees in order to send them to their
friends in the other world-a fetish
custom and a horrible result of the
doctrine of a future life among a
people not much above the brutes,
Last year a new chief came into
power in Porto Noyo, a town with

a Dispute Between Theodore and
Elizabeth Triton Over the Posses.
sion of Ralph.
Brooklyn Eagle.l
An unpleasant controversy is
threatened between Mr.. and Mrs.
Tilton concerning the guardianship
of their son Ralph, which, without
raising any of the old issues, will
give pain to the better friends of
both parties. Mrs. Tilton, as is
generally known, has refused per-
sistently to receive any pecuniary
assistance ffola her husband, al
though he was willing to aid her,
and her legal right to obtain it is
unquestioned. Out of this disposi-
ton to maintain herself by her own
exlation the present trouble in
some measure has arisen. Mr..
TiIton, it appears, after his recent
lecture tour, sent $1,000 to Mrs.
Tilton. Adhering, however, to her
resolution, she would not use any
of the money, but put it in the
bank to the credit of her children.
Along with the $1,000 Mr.. Tilton
sent 800 specially for the boy
Ralph. Mrs. Tilton made the same
use of this as she did of the larger
sum-put it in the bank without
saying anything about it to the boy.
When Theodore learned what his
wife had done he expressed anger,
not so much at her refusal to profit
personally by his labors as at the
fact that she did not acquaint
Ralph with the pecuniarX. evidence
of his fathers regard Tfor him.
Looking upon this act as an eyi-
dence, or making it a pretext for
believing that the mother could not
lons ser be trusted with the boy, he
few days ago induced the child tC
visit him, when, putting him into
a carriage, he drove over to New
jersey, where he has kept him unit
now, and still insists upon keeping
him.
Mrs. Tilton had no intimation o
her husbands intention until sh,
found herself deprived of her child
= when she became almost franti
: with grief, and is now in stat
=. bordering on distraction. Whethe
Mr.. Tilton's assigned reason 70
taking away the boy is the real rea
: son admits of doubt, but that hi
y action will give rise to an unpleas
g ant quarrel seems certain at presen
r 1t is worth noticing in this con
J, nection and as perhaps indicativ

d law of New Jersey, the father i

b reaches the age of seven, and RalpI
8 reached that age a few days age
It while in this State no such dootrin

Great BrItInn,a Eastern Policy.

From the London SPECTATOR
No explanation whatever has been
given by the British governmental
its attitude in this quarrel (between
Turkey and Servia,) but it is be-
lieyed that Sir Stafford Northcote's
answer on Tuesday was much more
important than the public believed.
Mr.. 0'Reilly asked whether it was
true that the British government
had landed arms and money at Kick
for the Turkish government, and
the Chancellor of the Exchequer
denied it absolutely: "Her Maies-
tvs government observed a strict
neutrality, and expected other pow
ers to do the same" That would
be an important sentence from any
minister, but it is stated that the
sentence was written by Mr.. Dis
raeli and handed to Sir Stafford,
who Of course read it verbatim.
If that is the case, it means, what
so many other appearances mean
that Mr.. Disraeli regards Russian
sympathy with Servia as constitu'
ting a breach of neutrality in tavol
of Turkey, and is prepared to resist
her by force. 1t seems almost i'm
possible, considering the opinion o
the country, that such should b.
his plan, but we are convinced there
is great danger in this direction,

In speaking of gold carat sigpi-
fes a twenty-fourth part; or in
other words, carat is a name given
to the fraction one-twenty.fourth,
thus: Gold of twenty-five carats
fine is a gold of which twenty-five
parts out of twenty-four are pure,
the other two parts being silver, cop
per, or other metals. The carat,
in speaking Of diamonds or other
precious stones, is. a weight Of a
fraction less than four grains troy,
or seyenty-fOur one-sixteenth carats,
being equal to seventy-two grains
troy. The term or weight carat
derives its name from a bean, the
fruit Of an Abyssinian tree called
kura. This bean, from the time of
its being gathered, varies very little
in its weight, and seems to have
been from a very remote period
used as a weight for gold in Africa,
In India, also, the bean is used as
a weight for gems and pearls.
