Philadelphia Pluck.


Whatever advantages of this sort
may accrue to the Quaker City will
have been most fairly and loyally
won for, of a surety, never was there
"a great business scheme of national
importance carried through with go
clean hands, or such absence of all
speculation as this Centennial Exhibi-
tion. And Philadelphians may we'll
boast, that, at a period when the busi-
ness Of the country was showing un-
paralleled prostration, and political
and private jobbeFy were rampant,
they have initiated and pushed to
successful issue a grand scheme of
international industrial exhibit, in
volving millions Of cost, without any
wavering Of faith; or thievish blot
upon its direction. Indeed, in the
whole show there is not to our mind
anything better worth showing than
the steadfast, strong, straightforward
purpose with which Philadelphians
have pushed this matter, through
thick and thin; to its final issue, and
the superb disdain which they have
shown for all sorts of scofers and
and doubters. Pluck of this sort de-
serves its reward, and will have it,
whether it comes by admission tickets,
or in other ways. eeaf ra
And other ways will open whatever
may be the exhibit Of temporary pecu-
MARY result. There is the positive
city growth already alluded to-some
of which must be healthy and real
there are the permanent buildings
within the Exhibition inclosure which
inure to the city; there is the newly
established "School Of AIT" whose
administrators, with wise forecast, arc
making large purchases of such mate
rial as could be secured under no
other conditions, to such advantage,
as here and now; there is the Inn
mense educating influence of the Ex-
hibition In its entirety upon the popu-
lation of the city; and there is the
further material gain of winning and
holding a reputation for executing a
gigantic scheme with steadfast pur-
pose, and for entertaining a world of
strangers without giving reasonable
cause for complaint.-Scribner Mon
hly.

A tOuching iuoldeut IS reported

A touching incident is reported
from Chattanooga. An utter stranger
called on respectable ,fa rnaops last
week and asked him if his house hads
not been robbed during the war. The
farmer replied that it had. 81" said
the stranger, "was one of the maraud-.
ing party that did it. Itook a little
silver locket." "That locket," said
the farmer" has been worn by my
dear child" "Here it is" replied
the stranger, visibly effected, II am
rich; let me make restitution. Here
are $50 for your little son." He
gave the farmer a fifty dollar bill
and received $50 in change. He then
wrung the farmers hand warmly and
left. The farmer has since dried his
tears and loaded his shotgun. The
fifty dollar bill was bad one.
