The Pennsylvania railroau company,
whose zines penetrate every section OF the
Union, and directly connect all important
points with Philadelphia, has made magnifi-
cent preparations for conveying, with safety
and comfort, the millions of people who in
tend visiting the Centennial Exhibition di-
rectly to the Centennial grounds. The loca-
ton of the Exhibition made it impossible
for any other railway to directly reach the
Exhibition buildings and grounds, and the
management, ever since the site was des-
ignated, has employed its gigantic equip
ments and unrivaled facilities to make the
Exhibition Il success, by providing the
amplest accommodations at the minimum
price, for both exhibitors and visitors. 1t
was fitting that railway company national
in its character and operations, should thus
second the commissioners in illustrating our
centennial history by demonstrating the
high degree of excellence attained by the
railway transportation system of America,
in making the great thoroughfares uniting
the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi
valley, the West, Northwest and Southwest

Pocket Money for Children.

There is no error more fatal than
Imagining that pinching youth in his
pocket money will teach him frugality.
On the contrary, it will occasion his run
ming into extravaganza with so much
more eagerness when he comes to have
money in his own hands as pinching
him in his diet will make his appetite
only the more rapacious. If you put
into the hands of your child more money
than is suitable to his age and discre-
tion, you must expect to find that he
has thrown it away upon what is not
only idle but hurtful. A certain small,
regular income any child above six years
of age ought to have. When he comes
to be capable of keeping an account, he
ought to be obliged to do it he will
thereby acquire a habit of frugality, at
tention and prudence that will be OF
service to him through his whole life.
On the contrary, to give young person
money to spend at will, without ac-
quiring any account of it, is leading, OF
rather forcing, him upon extravaganza
and folly,

Centennial Guests.

A nice lot of playthings, in the form
of three hundred aud fifty live alligators,
left the South on their way to the Cen
tennial at Philadelphia. The hideous
looking reptiles embraced all sizes, from
the little thing six inches long, just out
0f its shell, to one thirteen and half
feet in length, named Chilly" The
latter, a venerable rascal, with rather
repulsive countenance, is supposed to
be nearly $50 years old, judging by
marks he carries, as set forth by Audu-
bon and other naturalists. These alliga-
tors were captured in the vicinity OF
Pearl river, Louisiana, and near its en-
trance into Lake Pontchartrain. In
one collection is a small, mean looking
the named "Ned," who has learned to
stand on his hind legs, dance "iuba, u
and play tricks. Ned is about three
years old, and if this precocious play
thing keeps on he will be likely to ride
an act in a circus before long. While
the steamer Robert Mitchell, on which
they are, lay at the levee, large
number of curious people crowded
around the wooden tanks or boxes in
which the alligators sported. At one
time Mr.. Bond felt uneasy, and he
called a comrade to watch his pets, tc
keep the people from carrying off half 0
dozen of them to eat. Mr.. Bond feeds
the alligators on fish. At present they
are healthy, and some of the amphibious
aud ferocious brutes look as if they
would eat hog in minute, or a man
either. Memphis Paper.

The Molly MAguires.

The evidence adduced at trial of the
Molly Maguires WAS most startling.
One McParlan, of Pinkcrton's detective
agency, who had joined the society to
obtain evidence against them, detailed
the workings of the society. A mem Der
aggrieved goes to the body master, "
the chief of district society, and asks
consent for the murder. If the consent
is given, the body master examines his
men to find some one personally un-
known to the contemplated victim. If
he cannot find any such, he makes ap-
plication to the body master of some
neighboring division, giving personal
guarantee that the favor will be recipro-
Gated at any time. In accordance with
this plan, McGeehan and Boyle came
over from Carbon county to murder
Yost, with the distinct understanding
that the Tamaqua division were to fur
nish men to kill John P. Jones, of Car
bon county. The agreement was carried
out to the letter. Yost had offended
Duffy, one OF the prisoners, and Jones
had incurred the enmity of McGeehan
by refusing him work III the mine OF
which he had charge. The murder OF
Jones was tho thirty pieces of silver
paid for the murder of Yost. For the
clean job McGeehan made of Yost's
murder the society set him up in the
liquor business i'll Summit Hill. 1t is
not possible to describe the excitement
in the court room when this exposure
was going on. The various members ot
the society present were very white il
the face. The detective coolly exposed
their secret signs and passwords. Good
citizens were rejoiced, as they believe
the events of this trial will certainly
work the destruction of the Molly Ma
guire power.

southern shores of the great lakes, on tie
Mississippi and Ohio rivers, and on che A.
lantic harbors. The main road from New
York to Philadelphia, though passing
through the principal cities of New Jersey,
does not deviate six miles from an air line,
and this deilectionis due to the interposition
of navigable waters. These routes not only
excel in drectness as we'll as in the number
of important cities and towns they connect,
but they are confessedly superior in con-
struction and equipment. Between Pitts
burgh and New York, 444 miles, the entire
line is double track, laid with heavy steel
rails with joints connected between ties by
a process that gives the effect of continuous
rail, on which there can be no unpleasant
iarring All bridges on the line are of iron
or stone. A large portion OF this distance is
provided with third track, which enables
freight trains to keep entirely out OF the
way of passenger travel, and permits the
express trains 10 run their allotted distance
w.lhout interruption, and near Phlladel-
| phia, and other important terminal points

tances, been completed.

Germany's Porcelain Ware.

The manner of presenting the porce-
lain ware in the German department in
the Main Exhibition building on the
Centennial grounds is artistic and
striking. There is high partition wall
of crescent shape, draped with dark ma
room cloth, upon which are suspended
plaques, plates, and the shelves for the
larger goods descend like the steps of a
staircase. EnthrOned in the center is the
magnificent Victoria vase, painted with
the "Chariot of the Sum-" the great
fresco of Guido Reni. On each side OF
this are the Victoria flower vases. Be-
side one of these is dark gray bodied
vase of the most exquisite symmetry,
upon which is painted the great fresco
of Kaulbach-the Emperor Otto the
Fowler visiting the tomb of Charlie
magne at AK la Chapelle. The painter
was inspired with the subject, and has
succeeded in getting into his work some
of the wonderful chiaroscuro of the
original. The dead hero sits serene and
awful upon his throne, the awless scepter
lying in his nerveless hand upon his lap.
The magic lamp at his feet diffuses such
Strong light that an awe-struck barbarian,
in an attitude of fear, interposes his
buckler to shut out the vivid rays. Behind
him are the king and his attendants,
and the fair face of the queen, perplexed
in the extreme between terror and
curiosity, afraid to look, and yet deter
mined to see. And the vase itself II
worthy of the painting. 1t is nobly se
we're in its mass, graceful in its outlines
and chaste in its decorations.

A. 7. Stewards Property.

DR.. Marcy, the physician of the late
A. It. Stewart, gives some interesting
statements in reference to the disposi-
ton of Mr.. Stewards property, and
especially as to the future of the busi-
ness in connection with Mr.. Hilton. DR..
Marcy says he knows it was the express
wish of MIR. Stewart that Mr.. Hilton
should step into his place, so as to
perpetuate the name of the firm, and re-
lieve his wife from all harassing care.
The doctor says further There were
many reasons why Mr.. Stewart did not
publish to tho world through his will his
plans in regard to the disposition of his
property, either for charitable or other
purposes. 1t was sufficient for him to
know and trust his wife and friend. 1t
was certain that Mr.. Stewards partner
could not continue to run the business
ca bis own capital and interest in the
business, though himself very rich
man. 1 know that Mr.. Stewart had al
ways standing to his own credit at the
banks 5000, 900, 80 that he could with
stand almost any business panic or dis
aster. The extent of Mr.. Stewart S
property held in the wholesale and retail
stores is greatly exaggerated. He kept
no more stock on hand than was really
necessary for so large a concern. Only
few days before his death he spoke to
me in reference to the home for the
working girls. In that conversation he
said that the building would be pushed
forward to completion at once and occu-
pied. Already, 1 know, $2,0O0,000 has
been spent on the building, and $780,
600 are to be spent in furnishing it.
The building will accommodate 2,00C
persons with sleeping apartments. This
is another of Mr.. Stewards plans, and in
this way he was anxious to afford charity
to the humber classes"

HIS ExPERIENoE.-"I If this were but
an honest world" said friend to us the
other day, "ther'd be some fun in hv-
ing. Six months ago." he continued,
"I left a good salaried position and
went into business for myself. Since
then have had 5000 worth of goods
stolen from me, taken $110 in counter
felt money, and have 800 trusted out,
half of it among parties who probably
never can pay, and the others seem to
be in no hurry about it. 1 think I'll re-
sign."
