The Centennial Awards,

The system on which awards are made at
the worlds fair in Philadelphia does not
seem to be generally understood. It differs
In many respects from those adopted at pre-
Vio1s exhibitions. Heretofore there have
been gold, silver and bronze medals given
indicating by their relative value the degree
of merit of the article in its class. At Phila-
delphia the medals are all to be of bronze and
of equal value, so they do not show whether
the persons to whom they are awarded have
received first, second Or lower premiums.
Each medal when granted is to be accom-
panied by report setting forth the reasons
why the exhibit is deemed worthy of an
award. This report, which is signed by the
Judge and by as manyin the examining group
as concur in it, is furnished to the exhibitor
and he may make what Use of it he chooses.
Thus in place of the former anonymous YER
dict the exhibitor possesses the written opin-
ion of experts, to which their signatures are
attached, setting forth for what qualities the
exhibit is awarded medal. The judges sub
NIT their reports to the Bureau of Awards,
and if found in proper form and conformity
to the rules they are made public. The
medals are delivered at a later day. The
number OF exhibitors is 3O,S64. number
of awards will aggregate $4,000. Of these
1000 remain to be announced.
Several awards may be given in the same
class of articles, based upon the same or dif-
fering qualities. Tne judges are directed to
make an award whenever they find a merito-
rious article. The award does not set forth
that the article is the best of its class, but
simply its praiseworthy qualities. Tue re-
ports are based upon considerations of origin
ality, invention, discovery, utility, quality,
skill, workmanship fitness for the purpose
intended, adaptation to public wants, econ
omy and cost.
1t will be noticed that our Maine exhibits
receive frequent and gratifying mention. For
what qualities the products are commended
we shall learn as soon as the full reports of
the judges are ptinted.

REPORTS from all parts of the country
agree that the fall trade is far in excess of any
season since the panic, that profits are fair,
that collections ale easy, that confidence is
re-established. The way for specie lesump-
ton is making itself easy, and unless the re-
dictionary policy of the infationists is per-
mitted to prevail the day for return to the
hard-money stan dard is not distant.

SUICIDE and simuations of suicide appear
to be favorite recreation with a certain
grade in the United States Navy. Not long
since Claude Aventine, discharged apotheca-
ry, made dramatic exit from this world OF
trouble, apparently for the sole reason that
his wife was in Portland, and it was too much
exertion to visit her; so he sent her word to
meet him in another world and hastened
thither himself. Now another man of the
Navy, name and rank not given, comes to Sa-
co, discovers that his wife is going to the
great show at Philadelphia with the individ-
ual generally known as another" and pre-
tends an attempt at suicide, making himself
however can iidate for the bath and not for
the hospital. If his wife is woman of spirit
she will not lose her trip on account of her
husbands play-acting.

NEW JERSEY is boasting of a peculiar
apple tree. A quarter of century ago VIII
liam Babb took bud from tree which bore
greetings and another from one which bore
sweet apples. Cutting them in half he placed
the sour and sweet halves together and
budded them to tree. The result is an
apple halt sweet and half sour. They ought
to call it the Tilden and Hendricks apple.

SOME one is anxious to call He'll Gate
"Newton's Channel" But the people will
not suffer the old name to pass away; it is
too picturesque and expressive to be dis
carded. 1t is corruption of the Dutch

popular pronunciation have given it larger
meaning

THE vocabulary of the Maine Standard is
more curious than pleasing. 1t speaks of the
editor OF contemporary journal as one who
"reves in the slime of foul detraction as a
hog delights to wallow in his own filth. Low
and vile both by instinct and education in the
slums OF society, he is incapable OF becoming
anything better than putrid excrescence up
on the profession" There is much more Of
the same kind where this comes from. Posi-
bly, it is looked upon as rhetoric in the Ken
nebec valley, but to the reader elsewhere it
suggests the thought that the Standard itself
is an ''excrescence upon the profession" and
one to which ugly epithets might with JUS
tice be applied.

UP to Saturday last the Philadelphia Exhi-
bition had been open lis days, and 81, OIL ,313
paying visitors had passed through the turn
stiles. The receipts from this source were
$1,SS4, ,534. The attendance and the receipts
so far have exceeded those of any other exhi-
bition, even that at Paris in 1867. The esti-
mated expense of the Philadelphia Fair was
four million dollars, requiring an attendance
of eight million visitors if reliance be had en-
tirely on admissions for repayment. But as
large sums have been received for trading
concessions and expenses have proved less
heavy than anticipated smaller number oi
visitors will be required to pay the expenses.
If the present average attendance is main
tanned to the close of the Exhibition, receipts
will be considerably in excess of expenditures.
The Fair is to be open in all 156 days, closing
on the 10th of November.
