The CHILDREN AND THE CENTEN-
N1AL.-The Pittsburg (Pa.) board Of
education is discussing a scheme for
sending the school children of that
city to see the centennial exhibition.
Special trains, leaving Pittsburg at
daylight, are proposed, the children
to be well fed and cared for, and to
return on the fifth day by daylight
trains. The success of such scheme
would doubtless cause its imitation by
other cities.

THE GREAT HE'LL GATE ExPLos

THEGREAT HE'LL GATE EXPLOSION
The great event of New York Sunday
was the blowing up of what is called
He'll Gate, in the river at Hallet' 8
Point, which was fixed by Gen. New
ton at ESQ on Sunday. Those who
expected anything like an earthquake
were disappointed, as the only noise
heard was dull thud, and no damage
ensued above the waters or on land
The state of the tide, the nature of
the explosive compounds employed,
and the like, had been urged as rea-
sons why the explosion should occur
on day which is among Christians
regarded as sacred and peaceful.

THERE was recently, and still is, an
old gentleman in Maine who had four
sons and one daughter, and in the
same neighborhood was another old
gentleman who had one son and four
daughters, making ten sons and daugh
tiers in all. And what did these two
old rascals do but turn right in and
from time to time get up five we'd
dings, the four sons and one daughter
of the one marrying the four daugh-

THE accommodation, civility and
kindness shown strangers by Phila-

tendants of a visit to the Centennial
Though constantly pressed with in
quiries they cheerfully accord prompt
and reliable information to every one.
This disposition is source Of very
great satisfaction to the thousands

mended.
1t is to be regretted that so much
cannot be said Of many railroad and
hotel magnates, occupying the lofty
positions of telegraph operator, ticket
seller, conductor, brakeman, and clerk,
porter and bootblack. The represent
atives of these species Of the race very
frequently prohibit, by forbidding
manner, curt, sometimes angry, reply,
the specific object of their official exist
ence. In their pride Of place they are
nearly inaccessible; the path of ap-
proach is thorny with doubts and trep-
idations. The great problem is, not
what to ask, but how to conform your
self to the impressiveness Of the occa-
sion; in other words, how to obtain
the ear of the monarch without ruff
fling his imperial equanimity. He
may smile at greenness, never at IA
miliarity. If he does not lie, he may
tell Just half what you desire to know,
and SO grudgingly you are puzzled to
determine whether you are entitled to
the remaining half.
