The Toronto Globe says:
To to the first OF October last American
silver circulated in Essex at par, When
the in tentions of the American government
tn issue the new silver fractional currency
became known, the Windsor merchants felt
that it was time to take action. They &C
cordingly met and entered into q BOND,
formally executed, by which they bound
themselves under a penalty OF $oO, to take
no American silver except at the following
rates:
The three cent silver coin at two cents.
The five cent silver coin at four cents.
The ten cent silver coin at eight cents.
The twenty cent silver coin at sixteen
cents.
The twenty cent silver coin at twenty
cents.
The silver dollar coin at eighty cents.
The result Of their energetic action has
heen the all but entire withdrawal from cir
cnlation of the obnoxious currency. A cor
resnondent writing from Windsor on the
anhieot saws: "The discount had reached
ak ner cent, and that just represented our
lose on all transactions, because people will
always use the cheapest money. Any Cana
dian bills taken over our counters we had
to rive the premium for. In few days

ARRANGEMENTS for the Centennial.

A recent letter from John Welsh, Esq,
president of the centennial board Of finance.
has been published, in which he says:
At one moment great anxiety was felt
lest there should be scarcity of accommoda-
tions for visitors. 1t has been entirely re-
moved. Hotels of very large capacity have
been erected in the immediate vlclnlfy OF
the exhibition and throughout the city.
Old ones have been enlarged, and by the
agency of an enterprising association very,
large numbers of private dwellings,. OF
which Philadelphia has 10000 more than
any other American city, have been utilized
for the purpose; so that under no probable
circumstances can any inconvenience OCCUR
for want Of comfortable accommodations.
The strongest assurance is also felt that the
charges will be moderate.
In the matter of the charge for admit
lance, fifty cent note paid at the gate ad-
r1its to grounds, and there is no further
charge. A visitor can enter one building
or all of them, as he sees proper. We quote
the text of the letter touching this ques
tiOL:
In the arrangements connected with the
entrance and exit of visitors, exhibitors
and employees, the greatest simplicity has
been aimed at. Each class will use special
gates. The ticket for visitors will be fifty
cent note, and if not in the possession of
the visitor it can be obtained in exchange
for other money at an Office near each gate
of entrance. Children pay the same as
adults. To vary from q uniform price en-,
tails 30 many Inconvenience as to forbid
it. Fifty cents for nine hours visit to a
museum of the products of the world, dis
tributed among beautiful buildings and on
grounds of SURPRISING attractions, must be
satisfactory to every one. Such exhibitors
and employees as are required on the grounds
will be furnished with special tickets.
Properly authorized representatives of tn e
press, within reasonable limits, will be
recognized as entitled to free admission.

Il
The busy season IL near ito close, and our
| citizens are coming their summers pro-
granme Of pleasure and recreation. The
centennial exposition win draw largo num-
bers to the Quaker metropolis, but it is
gratifying to note that moro than ever b.
fore is . disposition manifested to seek in
Southern resorts that health and enjoyment
which it has been too much the fashion to
purchase at great cost in distant places.
For two Or three years this tendency to sup
port homo institutions has been notably on
an increase, with the very natural result
that attrsctsveness and facilities have kept
pace with enlarged patronage, until .
elimination has been attained in the erec-
| ton of the "Grand Hotel" at Point Clear,
which leaves even hsbitual visitors to the
famous oaravanseries of Saratoga, Newport
OF Longbranch nothing to wish for.
On one of the loyliest sites of the entire
American coast, where invigoFating sea-
breezes mingle with health-giving zephyrs
from scented pine forests, whore drives
and promensdes through groves of spread
ing oaks and magnolias WOO lAssitude from
the invalid and the indolent, Messrs. II. C.
Baldwin l. Co. have erected hotel unsur-
passed for completeness in all its appoint
ments. Every comfort and convenience Of
first class fashionable watering place can
De had at tho Grand Hotel Its fittings and
arrangements are superb and wholly new.
Its facilities for billiards, ten-pins, beating,
shooting, fishing, driving, etc., are COM
plete and under experienced management,
so that the man of tho world need fear NO
deprivation of accustomed pleasures; while
superior band will be ever ready ct the
call of Terpsichore's dsvotees.
That the capacities Of Captain Baldwin's
magnificent establishment will be thor
oughly tested by the elite of Mobile and
Montgomery society seems already assured,
and we can safely promise q full repre-
sentation from the Crescent City during
the glorious Southern summer evenings
now so near at hand. Point Clear vas
ever popular with our people, and many
pleasant "reminiscences lnger with them
and recall by-gone men and times. Under
the new regime, with such reasonable
charges as are asked, the old popularity
can not but be increased. The rate for
board is to be only $50 per month, or 81 so
per day. Passengers leaving New Orleans
on the morning train arrive at Point Clear
to dinner. The beautiful and fleet steamer
Annie makes daily trips from Mobile to the
point. All letters for further information
should be addressed to H. C. Baldwin &
Co., proprietors, Point Clear, and promptly,
too, for the formal opening will take place
by the first of June.
