Parker, the California rider, made an
other attempt to ride 305 miles in tif-
teen hours, and failed. 1t was a very
pretty game, so the betting men think
now. He failed to do it on his first
trial, but sporting men who bet upon
him believed that he could do it, and
that he failed parposely to get bets on
q second attempt, and. therefore, they
backed him more freely than before.

that they have been nicely taken in and

OPINIONS ON THE CENTENNIAL.

49,
OPINIONS ON THE CENTENNIAL.
As Decoration Day was appointed
for the opening of the Bankers Build
ing. at the Exhibition in Philadelphia,
the directors of most of the large banks
gave their clerks holiday for forty
eight hours, and paid their expenses to
the Centennial. This was a treat to
men who are tied down to the desk tie
year round, and about 200 of the gay
est men rode off in the bright morning
with their wives and sweethearts, to 10
the exhibition. Brown Brothers, one
of the largest banking firms in the city,
gave each of their married employees
$50, and the single ones S25, SO that all
might have taste of the pleasure.
Another firm provided drawing-room
car for their employees. Such liberal
dealings characterize firms of standing,
who keep their trusted clerks for years,
till their customers know the very Pc
culialities of their hand writing and
fold of the letters, and would hardly
recognize correspondence coming in any
other way.
But the Centennial did not seem to
impress all its visitors in an extremely
favorable way. One of the young men
went in this excursion expressed him
self without reserve on his return as to
the value of the Exhibition, and his re-
marks are given for what they are
worth.
'sSee it all!' he broke out in answer
to a question, 81 saw it all in six hours
Went through all the buildings, took
two lunches, and was back in New
York the next morning. In my opin-
ion, the Centennial is the biggest F-r-o-d
ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting
reople. There is hardly a thing to be
seen that one can't find in the Broad
way shop-windows. There is an enor-
NOUS display of fire dress goods and
furniture, nothing better than we see
every day. There isn't s50, 900 worth
Of jewelry in the whole exhibition, ard
not more than 1000 pictures. The
machinery is wonderful, and the build
ings are large and showy. The Wo
mems Pavilion is nearly as large as any of
them, and was full of bric-a-brac, which
my lady friend with me said was rather
eheaply done.' And he expressed in
other language that he didn't want any
more Centennial In his. This is only
IN opinion, and, as Josh Billings says,
opinions are like other vegetables, worth
only what they will fetch, but it NAV
console the few who are prevented from
seeing the Centennial to know that
they have not lost all there is in the
world by not going.

have double chance. Tt is probable
that Mrs. Stewart and Judge Hilton
will pay very handsomely to buy them
off, for they had better pay than sub
nit to the annoyance of legal worry.
The lawyers will get handsome pick
Jugs. The claimants may, or may not
get something. But one thing is toler-
ably certain: the estate will be shorn
materially. The old man fought, etrug-
gled and worried all his lite to have a
score of people, of whose existence he
was ignorant, pulling his bones out OF
his grave and fighting over them like
so many hyenas Such is life.
THE DULL SEASON.
1t is not too much to say that The
social state of tie city resembles that OF
a mining town IN the Sierras. The
clubs are well nigh deserted, and busi-
ness is-where, nobody knows. People
are going or gone to the country; they
went before May-day, indeed, and the
newer and cheaper the place that re-
ceives them the better. Families are
fond of finding new country places that
nobody in town knows of but them
selves, and the season after they will be
heard pluming themselves on discover
ing a haunt with all the advantages a
country place was ever known to pos
sess The weather is delightful in New
York, III pity TO those who can't get
away. But folks are not going to thea
tres, or to clubs or gatherings as they
used to in the good old war days, which
few are beginning to look back to,
when, if prices were high. there was
dollar and a half in a mans pocket to
pay them with.
There is no dollar and a half now
that is in reach OF anyone. There is no
buying or selling, there is nothing doing
in property, and everything is as bad as
it can be. The West is prosperous, but
1T does not seem to affect the Eastern
cities at ALL There are great many
people in town, going and coming from
the Centennial, but they are not here
to trade. They leave no noney in the
city and the public shop-keepers are III
despair They had hopes otthe Centen-
NAL, and now that that has tailed them
they feel that the bottom has dropped
out for certain.

But the play proved not a success as
was anticipated, and the man was left
out Of employment, with family on
his hands, and not stroke of work to
be had. The companies are all full for
the season, and the poor man sits there
within reach, penniless, living on one
meal day, of bread and water, supplied
through the chance gift of friends,
llgtheaded with faintness, and unable
to keep his children from hunger.
Farmers, who gather your families
round plentiful table daily, if it is
ever so PLAIN, consider yourselves fortu-
nate.
POLITICAL.
Governor Tilden's friends are in hot
water. About five hundred papers,
Democratic Of course, in the West and
South, received an offer from an adver-
tlsing agency in this city, to publish as
ssqooted NATTER" five notices urging
Tilder for the Presidency. The papers
receiving them who were opposed to the
Governor, Immediately raised the
howl that he was attempting to subsid-
ing the press, and pretty little row it
raised. The antl-Tilden papers took it
up venomously, and charged the old
fox with all sorts of corruption and
fraud, laying particular stress upon the
fact that the advertising agents who
sent out the proposition were Republi-
cans, and wanting to know what Re-
publicsns had to do with Democratic
Now the facts are these.
Bates q Locke, 81 Park Row, New
York, are advertising agents. Their
business is to place advertising in news
for whosoever desires it, for
which they get commission from the
They advertise, Just as a

tian or Pagan.
It happened one morning that Gus
tmoer of theirs who is democrat,
came into their office, and wanted five
notices offered to FIVE hundred papers,
urging the nomination of the Gov
ernor. They did it, just as they would
have sent out five notices of a piano,
or sewing machine. Probably Gov.
Tilden knew nothing about it. Prob
ably it was the tribute a friend wished
to pay him. But be that as it may,
the people opposed to him have made
terrible howl about it, and it has made
more talk than any one incident of the

which everybody ought to see. There
are art pictures in plenty, and the bes.
in the world; there is statuary; there is
machinery; there are goods from every
country IN the world, and there is
everything that can delight and instruct.
1t is precisely what was lntended-an
exhibition of the worlds progress; and
whoever does net see 1t misses an ex-
tremely good thing. But don't let it
cost you too much. There are not
enough people IN Philadelphia to stock
the boarding houses, by long way !;
and there are rooms for an hundred
thousand more than are there now, or
will be there at any time. Pay no
high prices. Stop by the day till you
get what you want at the price you
want, and then settle down quietly to
see what is to be seen. The hotels and
boarding-houses are more anxious to
have you than you are to have them.
There has not been that rush that was
expected, nor will there be. Six
months is a long time; and it will
spread out the exhibition tolerably thin,
SO far as people in attendance is con-
cerned. There is no necessity for pay
ing exorbitant prices. One can live III
Philadelphia this summer as cheaply as
in any other city, If one knows how.
Tne secret is: wait. Go till you find
what you want and don't be frightened
by any reports of crowds. There is no
such thing. There are more rooms
than people, and there will be to the
end of the exhibition. But go, by all
means. It is worth the going ten
thousand miles to see.
METROPOLITAN ExTR4vAGANcE.
There is money in the country some
where, or people could not afford such
indulgences as are offered by our metro
politan shops of luxury. At fashion,
able furnishing house, where the de-
signs are always in the best of taste, /
was shown some OF the new fashiors
for decorating houses. The heavy
hand-wove&J japanese brocades, in rich
subdued colors, made of raw silk, mixed
with gold, were GER lainly very handsome
for chair coverings, and looked as if
they might be joy forever, like all
truly beautiful things. They were of
ordinary width, but when the, attend
aut mentioned the price-only fifteen
dollars yard-awe took possession of
my soul. "How much would the guam
tity sufficient for upholstering a set of
furniture cost 2" / veutnred to inquire.
"From one thousand to fifteen hundred
dollars" was the answer. And | didn't
ask any more questions. But when the
dealer went on to show satin, figured
with gold embroidery, at SIS a yard,
with which he was to cover the walls
of large room 10 place of wallpaper,
and I thought OF the country suffering
from stagnation of business, and grew
sick. This is no exaggeration, and no
more are some different facts with which
I am going to contrast this
