Close of the Great Exhibition.

The programme for the closing ex-
ercses at the Centennial Exhibition on
Friday, November 10, is now being
matured. 1t is expected that the
President of the United States will be
present and make the formal declara-
tion that the Exhibition is closed. 1t
has not yet been decided whether the
Centennial authorities, with the in
vited guests, will proceed in a body to
Machinery Hall, there stop the great
engine at the appointed hour and then
proceed to the main stand, or whether
the engine will be stopped by
telegraphic signal from the stand
during the exercises.
An organization is being perfected
by which facilities will be afforded to
exhibitors, both foreign and American
to continue the exhibition of their
goods in the Main Building after the
close of the Exhibition, that building
having been purchased from the Cen
tennial Board of Finance for the pur-
pose OF creating permanent exhibition

Europe.

There is lull in the war between
Turkey and Servia wnich has been in
augurated by the signing Of two
months armistice between the bellig-
erents. The effect will be temporary
cessation of hostiltes, during which
efforts will be made by the Great Pow
ers, or some of them, to negotiate
permanent peace The news that the
armistice had been agreed upon had
had the effect, also. to produce panic
in the cloth and yarn trade In Liver
pool and Manchester, En- gland.
The Post says: yesterday was the
most exciting day the cotton market
has experienced for years, and the
enormous sale has thrown the business
altogether out of gear. Yarn prices
are reduced all round There are
large offers at about Id advance, but
they are mostly declined, so that little
business results. The exports of yarns
are more active. and show, in most
cases, large advance Business in
cloth is at stand-still Buyers do
not follow the upward movement eager
ly, and sellers dare not 20 on even at
the recent fullest quotations without
furt her instruction from their princi-
pals" The Courier says: "For some
days the Turkey-Servian armistice
which is now. announced, has been
confidently expected, and the
Manchester market for goods and
yarns as our cotton market, has been
perceptibly regaIning in tone. Only
upon one occasion, upon the eve of the
American civil war, have sales reached
such a figure as was announced yester-
day, and at Manchester with the .ad-
vapcing prices business was active and
transactions large"

ANNA DICKENsoN MARRIAGE
The peculiar misfortune of woman
thus gifted is that she is separated by
her genius from general society This
is a penalty which all such persons feel
keenly. There are few men who are
sufficiently her equals IN talent to COM
mand her respect Then as for love
matters II may be asked vho is there
that would fall in love with such a
ioness ! Let Zone envy that degree
OF talent which must cause perpetual
desolation. If Miss Dickinson ever
marries, it must be the act of condescen
sion. Women OF taieut, when they
take a husband, must view him
from the weaker vessel" Mrs Sig
Quincy was In her day a noted poet,
but who ever heard Of Sigourney !?
He was merely carpet-dealer, un-
known beyond the im'ts of the trade.
Jenny Lind threw herself away upon
an inferior fellow whose name she has
since been compelled to wear, and Mrs.
Stowe has always ranked ABOVE her
excellent husband, the professor. And
Mrs Siddons too, that famous ira
gedienne. there must have been a
MIR. Siddons, but though he was a
clever player, he was lost in the gran
deur of his wife. Nobody ever heard
of Siddons except as a small piece of
masculinity attached to wonderful
woman. = Troy (N. 70 Times.
1t is hard to stand by principle
when that principle isn't in style.
Now there is Mrs. DR.. Mary " alker.
She commenced by putting on full
suit Of gentleman's black, But now
what do she DO? She wears coat
and vest and trowsers, of course-but
what coat and vest and trowsers.
Coat trimmed with fur, fastened with
smok ed-pearl buttons, broad piece of
ribbon pinned between the shoulders,
the back buttons sawed off and the
skirts themselves dangling with mink
tur tails. And her vest: Made of
blue velvet, shirred and knife pleated
and set all over with rows of ball fringe.
And her trowsers: Constructed with
feather trimmings down the side, cut
bias and made full tergo, and set off
at the bottom with frilled white cuffs.
Neither the State nor the Navy De-
partment has recent information con-
cerning the United States steamer
Franklin, but it is supposed that she
will be heard from some time this week.
While there is no doubt Tweed, the
prisoner on board, will be delivered to
New York State authorities Immediate
ly on his arrival, it is not probable that
official correspondence on the subject
will be published before meeting of
Congress. When the Spanish Govern
ment informed that of the United
States of Tweed's arr est, and its readi-
ness to surrender him in accordance
with the wishes of our government, the
American legation was instructed to
conduct the arrangements to that end.
So we'll has the Centennial Exhibit
ion been managed pecunarily that
there is now little douht hut that the
surplus will be No. less than one aud a
! half millions.

The Moth.

This little insect, SO destructive In our
households, is known TO naturalists by
the name OF tiDea, ana belongs to the
family of the lepidoptera, or sealy-
winged insects, OF which it is the
smallest, the most beautiful; and the
most destructive. 1t is second cousin to
the canker worm, the apple worm, and
the turpentine moth, but among its
Aristocratic and honorable relations is
the silk worm. The immediate family
relations OF the common moth, are the
bee moth, the carpet moth, the hair
moth, the grain moth, ana the pack
moth. AS soon as the egg laid by The
mother moth is hatched, straightway the
Tiny worm proceeding from it begins to
iced upon the fabllc TO which it is
fastened, and spins itself a cocoon, In
which it moves freely and unseen, and
from which ernerges in due time a but
teifiy. In May or June these winged in
sects deposit their eggs. Before this
time every thing they can harm should
be placed beyond their reach. Before
putting away FUR and woolen goods
they should be Thoroughly beaten to dis
lodge any eggs that may have been de-
posted on them and exposed to the sun
and air for hours. 1t Is, said that brush
ing oyer their retreats with turpentIne

thefr, yisitations,, and that corrosive
snbifmate Washings, sulphur tumIga-
tions, and the acIi ion of heat and steam
Will destroy them. Prevention is the
best cure. II furs and woolens are care
fully sealed up in paper cases, or put
away in chests and trunks which the.
moth-fiy car. not penetrate, they are'saie.
Fabrics already attacked by them
should be beaten and summed repeatedly
and the raVages viii be checked. This
LITTLE insect loves darkness, aud hides ls
evil doings from the light OF day. To
keep it from plush furniture, twice
year, on bright, sunny day, take the
furniture out of doors, remove the bot
toms from the chairs II they can be,
removed, and give the cushions a good,
switching with long, .pliable switches,
till the dust is removed. Then brush
them thoroughly. While the cushions
are being summed, give the frames a.
coat OF yarnish. Let the furniture re-.
main in the sun nearly all day.

An Anssces. to Moral.

EDITOR HERALD: was highly amused
by the "Fable" which your correspondent,
over the pseudonym "Moral," told so well
in your issue Of to-day.
He is evidently "fellow of infinite JEST -
one who readily seizes the best points of q
story, and repeats them admirably. Clear
ly, be ought to be in circus as q clown.
Possibly have made mistake. It may
be that "Moral" would do better as "the
little performing trick dog" in travelling
show, than as clown in circus. Perhaps
I owe the clown an apology. "There's
millions in it" for him. Now there is deci-
ded point to his joke-everybody sees 1t at
a glance; but still there is, also, little
mystery about it, which he, good natured
fellow that he is, will no doubt readily ex-
plain.
1t is this His fable tells about an "Ass'
and "little dog" Everybody could see
at once that the professional gentleman
is intended by the "Ass," but who is the
''frlsky, frolickipg, foot-licking little
iog?" Pray tell US that. Is 1t "Morall"

No Peach Crop West.

The following extract from private let
ter dated, Illinois, February 14th, 1875, will
interest our friends down the State: "You
will have no competition in the peach crop
from this section of Egypt (Southern I'LL
aoise). We have had but little winter, but
enough in 24 hours to kill the universally
advanced peach buds. On the 1st of Feb
ruary the warm winds from the South of
the day previous changed to Northwest,
accompanied with sleet-than hurricane
of snow and in "a hours the thermometer
fell from IS degrees above zero to degrees
below. The crop is gone, as this is the
great peach country Of the West, and as q
similar calamity last year, led our growers
to ship to Chicago and St. Louis, as well as
other points West, with happy results. The
news will give our growers due notice, so
that they may make their preparations
sooner this year. A Michigan paper also
states that the crops in that State has
been nearly, If not totally destroyed by the
late sudden changes In the weather.

Mr.. Naf's Funeral.


The funeral of the late William Heath
Nar took place yesterday Afternoon at 3
o'clock at his late residence, No. 1901 Mar
ket street. The remains were placed In a
handsome coffin, covered with black cloth,
and heavily mounted with silver. Rev. DR..
Frost offered prayer at the house, after
which the casket was taken to the hearse,
and then, followed by thirteen carriages,
was borne to the old Swede's Church.
There the funeral cortege was met by d
large concourse Of people, consisting of the
young and old, whites and blacks, rich and
poor, showing that the deceased had nu-
merous friends in all parts Of the city,
many of whom no doubt he had some time
IN his life aided in some way, and who
wished to show their respect by witnessing
the final disposition of the earthly re-
mains of their aged benefuc:or. The cof-
fin was taken into the church, Which was
soon filled to its utmost capacity by the
large crowd. The services we're conducted
by Rcvs. DR.. Frost, of Trinity Chapel, Mr..
Littell, of St. Johns, and Mr.. william
Murphy, of Old Swede's Church After
the conclusion of the reading of the
18th chap. cor. by Rev. DR.. Frost, and
a prayer by the same gentleman, the coffin
was conveyed to the grave, where prayers
we're again offered by Mr.. Littell and
DR.. Frost; the Lords prayer was also re-
pcated in concert by the three clergymen.
An opportunity was then given the friends
to take o last look at the coffin, when the

A Market st. improvement.

Joseph R. Tatnum Esq, who owns the
property at 2l3 Market street, is contem,
plating very decided improvement at that
point. He intends tearing down the pres
ent structure and replacing 1t with more
substantial and neatly furnished brick
building four stories high and will be all Or
nament to that portion of our city and in a
business point Of view great convenience.
The building will run through to shipley
street, and the first floor will be cut into
large and convenient stores He has not
yet quite determined upon its plan but 1t is
seriously considered and the improvement
will no doubt be made soon.
1t will add much to the Importance OF
that par. of Market street on business
point and will no doubt lead to other i'm
portant improvements. The upper portion
of the building If erected will be rented as
society halls.

appealing to the Lac.

Bridget Sheridan, last evening, appeared
before Esq. Frazer and wanted to sue Mary
McHugh, stating that upon one Monday
she had returned to her boarding house,
kept by Mrs. McHugh, and because she in.
nocently remarked that the McHughs
were ali dementcd she had been driven from
the place and compelled to sleep in the
street. Mary made response to the allega-
ton that Bridget had come in violently, and
had used very harsh language. 1t appears
that Bridget subsequently was compelled to
go to the police station and get the
Mayor to send policeman after her
clothes. Mary was held in $50 bail for her
good behavior, but Immediately sued
Bridget for seven dollars board, which was
paid together with the costs by her.

Plea!y OF Money.

The scarcity Of money 1t would seem is
the wrong term, if applied to Reading as 1t
is stated by the eagle" Of that place that
there is plenty there and the banks are
freely ;liscounting basiues paper aecommo
Iations. Paper is still avoided to some ex-
tent. Rates of discount are 8, and = per
cent. SO states Capt. Boas of the Reading
Savings Bank. The same statements are
made by business men in regard to Will
mington, and the business men of philadel-
phia state that there 10 plenty mopey there
in the banks which can be obtained with
good security.
