plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last
decade with the natural result of the lapse
of time; have brought into public view
multitude of new men, who's names are in
every ones mouth, and whose lives every
one is curious to know the particulars.
Great battles have been fought and impor-
tant sieges have been maintained, of which
the details are as yet preserved only in the
newspapers or in the transient publications
of the day, but which now ought to take
their place in
PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC HISTORY.
In preparing the present edition for the
press, it has accordingly been the aim of
the editors to bring down the information
to the latest possible dates, and to furnish
an accurate account of the most recent dis
coveries in science, of every fresh produc-
ton in literature and of the newest inven-
tions in the practical arts, as well as to give
succinct and original record of the prog

The work has been begun after long and
careful preliminary labor, and with the

Centennial Notes.


ALREADY the list of exhibitors from
the Dominion of Canada, who have Sc
cured space in the Exposition buildings,
is over 215.
A BEAUTIFUL marble group, delineat
ing, allegorically, free church In a
free State, is to be placed on exhibition
by the Italian Government.
IT is expected that 1900 Frenchmen,
two thirds of whom are merchants of
Paris, will exhibit at the Centennial.
Thirty thousand articles of French mer-
chandise are to be sent over for exhibs-
ton.
Dom PEDRO, the Emperor of Brazil,
has secured W. b. Morehead's elegant
marble mansion, on Chestnut and
Thirty ninth streets, in West Philadel-
phia, for his use during the Centennial
Exposition, the consideration being
$4,000.
AMONG the living curiosit;es which
the Government building will contain,
will be groups of real Indians, repre-
senting various tribes, who will cook,
eat and sleep in their own wigwams.
They are to be exhibited under the
auspices of the Indian Bureau.
SIXTEEN zinc casts of American eagles
are being placed on pedestals, on the
roof of the Art Gallery. Each eagle
measures thirteen feet from tip to tip of
the outspread wings, and its weight is
5000 pounds. The talons of the left leg
grasp an escutcheon bearing thirteen
stars.
THE Centennial Commissioners for
Nevada have agreed to request the peo-
pie of California and Oregon to unite
with them in the erection and mainte-
nance of a building sufficient to accomo-
date the people from the Pacific Coast,
to be known as the Pacific Coast Head
quarters.
THEODORE THOMAS has accepted the
appointment of musical director of the
Centennial opening ceremonies, which is
a guarantee that the musical feature of
the affair will be properly attended to.
Mr.. Thomas own orchestra will be in
creased to any required proportions, to
form the nucleus of the mammoth band.
RUSSIA has asked for 10000 square
feet of space in the main exhibition
building, being 5000 more than her
original allotment. Director General
Goshorn has informed Secretary Bokh-
meteff that though only II, 900 feet can
be spared to that Government in the
main building, the balance needed will,
if possible, be supplied in the structures.
The New York Press Club had just sat
down to enjoy their annual dinner when
the escape of Tweed was made known
to them. There never was o dinner
party broken up more suddenly than
was that, as the whole reportorial fra
ternity dropped knives and forks,
grabbed hats and overcoats, and set ont
to ascertain the facts and circumstances.
Tweed had more enemies in New York
that night than he had in the morning.

American and Irish StOnemdsOns.

In building in the country, 1 found
one must go to the city for skilled labor.
especially in stone, and avail himself of
the imported article. American me-
chanics can seldom be depended upon
further than the cellar wall, and unless
you want cellar wall all the way to the
caves, you must employ men who have
learned their trade. Then, our mechan-
les will strike the stone on the face, and
can be made to see no beauty but in a
smooth surface. But n quick, intelli-
gent Irishman, who has learned his
trade in the Old World, is as witty in
stone as in speech. He knows that every
stone was destined for a particular place
and not to be put anywhere Indifferent
ly. What satisfaction it was to find
that what my own eye, familiar with
natural forms and effects, preferred, was
approved by the most skilled workman |
We had been to widely different schools,
but had both learned the same lesson.
To bring harmony out of dissonance, to
contrast and set off one stone with an
other; to mix up as in nature the little
and the big, marks the skilled workman
from the bungler.-John Burroughs, in

Chastising a Tramp.

On Tuesday evening tramp called at
MIR. Hammersly's, at Traverner's Woods,
and asked for glass of water, stating
that he was SO hungry, and he had no
place to sleep at night. Mr.. Hammersly
took pity on him, took him in, gave him
supper, bed to sleep in, and breakfast
next morning. When he was leaving,
Mr.. Hammersly noticed great improve
ment in his personal appearance. The
night before he was thin and spare; the
next morning he was fat and pussy.
Suspecting that something might be
wrong, Mr.. Hammersly proceeded to ex-
anime Mr.. Tramp critically, and found
that he had appropriated to his own use
numerous articles of Mr.. Hammersley's
clothing, which he had put under his
own rags, and had stuffed his wallet full
of such useful articles as he could find
about the premises. Having the dead
wood on Mr.. Tramp, Mr.. Hammersly
snatched him into his meat house and
locked him in, and kept him confined
until he went to the woods and cut big
black gun. He then returned to the
meat house, unlocked the door, turned
out Mr.. Tramp, and bid him cut and
run. Tramp obeyed orders with mill
tary alacrity, but he had not cleared the
door sill before Mr.. Hammersly com
menced his part of the performance,
giving him the black-gum switch for
every jump for about half a mile. He
laid on the stripes fast and heavy, and
better time was never made from Ira
verner's Woods to Potts Mill, and never
did tramp get better paid for the abuse
of hospitality than Mr.. Hammersly gave
this thieving grascal.-E'dston pa Star.

The Popes old clothes are eagerly sought

naturally makes fine pickings."

THE CHRISTMAS BELLS.

The bells-the bells-the Christmas bells,
How merrily they ring!
As If they felt the Joy they tell
To every human thing.
The silvery tones, DER vale and hill,
Are swelling soft and clear,
As, wave on wave, the tide Of sound
Fills the bright atmosphere.
The bells-the merry Christmas bells,
They're ringing in the morn!
They ring when, in the eastern sky,
The golden light is born;
They ring, as sunshine tips the hills,
And gilds the village spire-
When, through the sky, the sovereign sun
Rolls his full orb of fire.
The Christmas bells-the Christmas bells,
How merrily they ring!
To weary hearts a pulse OF JOY,
A kindlier life they bring.
The poor man, on his couch OF straw,
The rich, on downy bed,
Hail the glad sounds, rs voices sweet
OF angels overhead.
The bells-the silvery Christmas bells,
Der many mile they sound!
And household tones are answering them
In thousand homes around.
Voices of childhood, blithe and shrill,
With youths strong accents blend,
And manhood's deep and earnest tones
With wonan's praise ascend.
The bells-tne solemn Christmas bells,
They're calling us TO prayer;
And hark the voice of worshippers
Floats on the morning air.
Anthems of noblest praise there II be,
And glorious hymns to-day,
Tx DEUMs loud-and GLoRIAs;
Come, 10 the Church-away!
