Close of the Centennial Exhibition.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.
Rain has been falling steadily since
morning, but, in spite of the discourag-
ing weather, great numbers of people
are in attendance at the Centennial
grounds, to witness the formal closing
of the Exposition. Since early morning
steam and street cars going to the grounds
have run crowded, and at two o'clock,
the time of the beginning of the ceremo-
nies, it is estimated that 100, 900 people
were inside the inclosure. Shortly before
two o'clock President Grant, escorted
by Gen. Hawley, ascended to the platform,
followed by the Centennial Commission,
Board of Finance, Foreign Commission
ers, and invited guests. After the ex-
citement of the multitude, occasioned by
the presence of Gen. Grant, had subsid-
ed, the orchestra, under the direction of
Theodore Thomas, performed Wagner's
Inauguration March," composed for
the opening exercises of the 10th of May
last. At its conclusion Rev Joseph A.
Reiss offered up prayer. The chorus
accompanied by the orchestra then sang
a chorale entitled Fugrie" by S. Bach,
after which an eloquent address was de-
livered by the Hon. Daniel j. Morrill,,
United States Centennial Commissioner
from Pennsylvania, and Chairman of
the Executive Committee. The orches-
ira then rendered selections, after which
the Hon. John Welch, President of the
Centennial Board of Finance, delivered
an address. After Beethoven's Fifth
Symphony" had been rendered, Director
Gen. Goshorn addressed the audience at
length. Handel's Hallelujah Chorus was
next given by the orchestra, and Hon.
Joseph r. Hawley, President of the
United States Centennial Commission,
delivered an address reviewing the his
tory of the Exposition. The audience
Joined in singing "America," after
which President Grant declared the In.
ternational Exposition of 1876 closed.
The Doxology was sung by the chorus
and audience, accompanied by the or
chestra, and the formal ceremonies were
concluded. The ceremonies took place
in the Judges Hall, owing to the rain.
Although the Exposition is now formally
ended, the grounds and buildings will
be accessible to the public for several
days to come, though the Exhibition
will be in an incomplete form, many ex-
hibitors proposing to fence off their ex-
hibits tomorrow, preparatory to packing
moods

HiCoOughed to Death.

DR. Elton says he was called to see
man named Henry Hoskins, slate miner,
aged forty-hve years. Hoskins said that
he had gone to work without breakfast,
as he had not felt well. About eight
o'clock he had drank some cold water,
and the hiccough set in, violently at first,
but subsequently he did not mind it as
much, thinking it would soon disappear.
1t did not, however, and then he tried
several local remedies, such as drinking
nine swallows of water, putting cold
piece of slate down his back, and such
like cures. He became alarmed, for he
felt he was getting weaker every minute.
1t continued with renewed violence, and
Hoskins was advised to go home by the
boss. His wife made him hot coffee, and
he tried to eat breakfast, but his appe-
tite was entirely gone, He began to
shiver, and the hiccough still continued
as bad as ever. The doctor was then
sent for He at once administered twenty
drops of sal volatile and fifteen drops of
ether in wine-glass full of camphor-
water, but that did not do any good The
doctor tried to divert the mans mind
from it, but il was ali to no purpose. He
then gave the man thirty drops of lauda-
mum, and drove back to his house to pro-
cure other medicine. Still the hiccough
continued, and in fifteen minutes after
the doctor left he was corpse. Hoskihs
seemed to to be perfectly healthy in every
respect. His throat swelled great deal
before he died, and he seemed to strangle
before his sufferings were over.-P0tts-

to die. The body was identified as that
of Charles Brown, burglar of Indian.
apolis, a member of well-known gang
of house-breakers.
Mrs. Susan McDermott, a resident of
Philadelphia, was fatally burned few
days ago by the explosion Of coal-oil
can. She was kindling fire at the time,
and as it did not burn briskly enough she
endeavored to hurry it up by the use of
oil, and, while pouring 1t on, fire COM
municated to the can and exploded it.
The contents we're thrown over the lady
and her child, little girl aged fourteen
months, whom she had in her arms. She
rushed into the street, carrying the baby
with her, and, help coming to her aid,
the child was rescued before it was very
seriously burned. The mother was almost
literally baked from her knees to her
neck, and, although she suffered intense
ly, she was conscious till death.

Yankee Trade in Paris.

Lucy Hooper writes to the New York
World: Notwithstanding the pleasant
weather and the preparations for the Ex-
hibition, and the number of English that
daily flood the boulevards and the Rue
dc la Paix, there are wailings loud and
deep on the part of hotel-keepers and
tradespeople. There are no Americans
in Paris, comparatively speaking, that is
to say, for the Rue Scribe Is not yet a
desert, neither is the Grand Hotel a
bowling wilderness, but it is an un-
doubted fact that, owing either 10 the
attractions of the Centennial or to the
financial pressure in America, or to both
causes combined, the influx Of travellers
from our country is far less than usual.
This is generally the great harvest sea-
son for the hotels and shops of Paris;
American tourists are rushing around
seeking for board; American ladies are
buying their fall and winter outfits;
American gentlemen are ordering wines
and furniture. The Hotel Chatham, for
instance, at this season usually presents
the aspect of q Long Branch hotel
of Saturday night at midsummer. Last
year guests slept on billiard-tables and
on the sofas in the reading-room, and the
servants were colonized out so that their
rooms might be rented to travellers.
Now there is space enough and to spare
in the biggest and best suits in the most
popular houses. Dressmakers have be-
come meek and accommodating, and
actually welcome a stray customer with
a smile instead of receiving them with
