Lost Opportunities.

President Grant was the proper
person to be invited To make the
opening address at the Centennial
Exposition, but he should have said,
"Gentleman, that is duty for
which my genius and education are
not fitted. | deputize - -,
a gentleman of the highest character
aud our most learned American ora
tor, to perform that duty"
President Grant has made several
mistakes iD his Presidential career.
His greatest mistake was, when the
salary back-pay bill was presented
for his signature, that he did not
say. "Gentlemen, the tendency of the
times is too strong in this direction.
1 think it my duty to veto this BILL"
When be saw his appointees living
profigate lives, squanderiDg money
wantonly, he should have said, "Gon-
tlemen, you are setting our people
bad examples; your ways must be
mended or your places vacated. "
When he undertook to capture the
little toe-head at the mouth of the
Gulf Of Mexico he made a mistake.
When he shut his ears against the
voice of the great lights of the Re-
publican party like Charles Sumner,
he was going wrong. When on his
first nomination for the Presidency
he said, 81 shall have no policy" he
made mistake. When that nomi-
nation was rendered him he should
have said, 81 carrot accept; my ed
ucation and talents lie 10 the direc-
ton in which | have been successful;
let statesmen have that position. In
the quiot which we may now hope to
enjoy, l may study political economy
the philosophy of government and
the laws of statesmen. If the states.
men we now have are not successful
four or eight years hence there may
be reasons for me to attempt the
Presidency"
What Il GIANT GRANT would be
if his I had always been in the right
place!

Centennial Opening.

The Centennial Exposition nponed
in Philadelphia on Wednesday the
10Th instant. The estimates of the
number Of people present run all the
way from 200 to 100000 An or
cheStra of one hundred and fifty
pieces played national airs while the
guests collected When guests were
seated Wagner's Centennial March,
composed for the occasion, was play,
ed. The next performance was Bishop
Simpsons prayer, which tells the Lord
inmany words how great and good He
is, but has no very electric sentences
in it. John Welsh, President of the
Centennial Board of Finance formally
presented the buildings to the Com
mission. Lanier's Cantata, a tumble
Of spasmodics gotten up for the occa-
sion was next performed by voices
and orchestra. President Hawlev,
of the Commission made a good
speech in presenting President Grant,
whose speech was commonplace.
This comprises the programme at the
opening.

Blue Laws.

As regularly as the news of the
death of sthe oldest inhabitant," or
how man voted at the last election
who had voted for all the Presidents
from Washington down, or Of the
woman whose two children were bit
to death by rattlesnake in hens
rest, the third scaded to death while
she attempted their rescue, and she
herself cut her throat in desperation,
with several other impossible and i'm
probable stories, so are we regularly
treated to a repetition of the long
ago invented stories aboat the "Blue
Laws of Connecticut" "You must
not walk any where on Sundays but
clrcumspectly to and from church !"
"No musical instrument must be
played on that day but the drum and
iewsharpl" ga mother kissing her
babe on Sunday shall be fined 6
pence" and hundreds Of other ridic-
ulous things that Connecticut people
never thought of until they saw them
in the prints of their traducers. are
samples. The "Bluo Laws" as re>
alitiea, are myth Connecticut peo-
pie aud other New England people,
IN very early times had laws unpa-
latabe and ridiculous to other peo-
pie, especially to the people from
whose intolerance they had escaped
and who hated them. Some of those
laws appear as ridiculous to us now
as Sunday does to an Indian, but
the so called Blue Laws are o fraud.
They never existed. They were
first Invented and compiled by: an
Engli5hman who hated the New
England people and their habits, and
who thus sought to bring Thorn into
ridieuls Afterwards when Now
England sentiment groW anti-slsvery
the newspapers Of the border and
slave states, TO Great prejudice
against anti-savery people, quoted
frequently from tho Englahman's
Blue Laws as if they were historical
record. La this way many people
haze lnnocently come TO believe that
the blue Laws were true laws. We
would as soon be caaght believing
the sacrllegious tramp who illustra-
ted scene in his travels through
New England with picture of a
hanging cat and an ancient looking
Puritan in prayer With his family,
while the tramp writes underneath
To Barnbury came I, o profane one
And there | saw Puritane one
