Centennial Notes.

JOHN HANcocK's quill pen is to be ex-
hibited.
FOREIGN commissioners arrive by
every steamer.
FRANCE sends magnificent collection
OF goods, many of which are of novel
workmanship.
THIEVES are lowering about the
grounds, anxious to find some portable
things for idle hands to grasp.
The Japanese building delights all be-
holders. Information in tea-box charac-
tiers is posted on the outer wall.
SIDE shows will spring up all around
the grounds. All the .Try-your-l lungs
for-fve-cents men in the country will
be there.
The Egyptian ladies will contribute
their mite to the Women's pavilion.
The weight of their mite is about five
hundred tons. Nothing parsimonions
about the Egyptian females
THERE viii, it is feared, be too many
petty fees and genteel modes of extor-
ton practlced on the grounds, as at
Vienna. The commissioners ought to
exert themselves to prevent this as far
as possible.
The French restaurant will be largely
made up OF mirrors, plate glass and gilt.
There will be music in the grand saloon,
and you will have the pleasure of paying
a pretty French girl for what you've
eaten.
A FRENCH piano maker will send a
new style of upright piano, which can be
converted into a bookcase, desk, cabinet
or sofa. When you want to rest quietly
all you have to do is to put your head on
the sounding beard.
IF $4,000 articles are on exhibition at
the Centennial, and the visitor devotes
five hours of each day to the exhibition,
giving one-half minute to the examina-
ton of each article, it will take him five
months to go through.
A STUFFED condor of gigantic size will
be depended from the roof of the CHILEAN
pavilion. It is said to be sixteen feet
from tip to tip, and was killed on Aeon
cagua, the highest peak of the Andes,
and the highest mountains of the West
ern world. Let the eagle hang his head
while screaming!
THE street railway companies have
made the most extensive preparation for
the summer. A large number of new
cars will be put on many OF the lines,
some of which, of a new pattern, will
have seats for passengers on the roof.

A Munificent Legacy.

BY the will of Walter l.. Newberry,
who died in Chicago in the latter part of
1868, one-half of his estate was to go to
found public library in that city in case
his DAUGHTERS died without heirs. His
last surviving daughter, Miss Julia r.
Newberry, died III Rome last month, and
on the death of the wife of the testator
or sooner, if an arrangement can bemade
with her and the other heirs, the city of
Chicago will receive this muniicent
legacy. The property consists mostly
of real estate, and is valued at between
100000 and $5,OOO,OOO. 1t is pro-
posed to unite the Historical Society
library and the Present public library
with this new institution, and thus form
one magnificent free public library.

Cnrinus Cmnndrums.

One of our little boys, says a cotem-
porary, has got the conundrum fever.
A few days ago he came running into the
house. and asked this question:
"Father, why Is your head like
drum2"
The old gentleman gave if up, when
the urchin remarked:
"What's in drum2" and he rushed
out to stone neighbor Parke's goat.
A day or SO later, while the minister
was making his usual call, the boy put
the following question:
s. Why was your last Sunday sermon
like the north poleG"
Such a strange question made their
hair shoot up with an alacrity that was
astonishing, and feelings of pride gided
through the brain of his parent, who had
pleasant nominations over the future ca
reer of that bright offspring who would
one day reach high distinction in the
affairs of life; but when the boy an
swered the minister, it was because it
couldn't climb tree, the father became
gloomy, and led the boy out by the ear
and fogged him.

A Cure discovered for Hydrophobia.

The New York Sunday Mercury says
the discovery has been made of a remedy
for hydrophobia. This remedy Is known
as wooraria, a most virulent poison, OBJ
tanned only In South America. The
Mercury cites cure in the case of a
man named James Mccarthy, Of Jersey
City, who was bitten several weeks ago
by dog. The bite developed into by
drophobia and the attending physicians
finally decided to treat the patient with
wooraria. Three hypodermic injections
into the arm of one-third of grain
each time were administered, an i'm
provement being apparent after each
one. He speedily recovered with no i'll
effect from the poison.

LITTLE MISS TURPIN's FATE.

He Was Stranger, and She Took Kim In.
A little conversation took place, one
morning, on the top floor of dingy old
lodging house in the metropolis, that led
to strange results. It was in the front
room. but made its way very readily
through the chinks and crannies In the
mortar to the neighboring apartment,
where little Miss Turpin was preparing
her frugal breakfast. The toasting-
nearly fell from her hand, and her dimity
apron narrowly escaped being seduced
by presumptuous fame from the CRATE,
when the harsh, gruff voice of her land
lord fell upon her ear.

The young medical student was man
of spirit, and would have vacated these
not very alluring premises aS once, but
he had not where to lay bis hea I, and
there seemed vital necessity just then
for some such proceeding on his part.
He had discovered, two days before, that
the faltering and shabby source of his
pecuniary supplies had suddenly failed,
and the knowledge that he was without
money or friends IN q strange city, to-
gether with an inability to beg, borrow or
steal, had robbed him OF sleep. The
loss OF this necessary rest to tired
brain and worn out body rendered him
the prey TO many different sensations
during and after Mr.. Shadrach's visit.
An iron band seemed to compass his
forehead, his eye-balls burned, his hands
shook. his knees seemed at times about

him to go on hoping for little desultory

These are among the principal States of

which also threaten to secede and set up
an independent republic. The leader of

THE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOOK.
The States Very Evenly Divided He
tween the Two Parties.

In the coming Presidential election the
two great parties will be more evenly
matched than they have been in any
National contest since the close OF the
war. With the exception Of South Caro-
lima, the vote Of the entire South IS con.
fidently counted on by the Democratic
party for its candidates. This vote with
that of the tolerably sure Democratic
States, and of New York, lacks only one
OF being enough to elect President.
The contest will be decided by the votes
of the doubtful States, Colorado, Indiana,
New Jersey and New York. The fol-
lowing table is based on the votes in each
State at the Fall elections of 1874, cor
rected in some instances by the returns
of later contests. Illinois in 1874 gave
united opposition majority of over 49,
600, but this included large German
vote, which is always uncertain:

THE Presidency is practical question
after all. 1t should not be bestowed upon
a man as compliment to the individual

be President should DE something more
