THE Permanent Exhibitors Associa-

Sunday as the managers of the Cen
tennial were. A vote was taken by
letter Of the members Of the Associa-

Monday the result was announced
1,195 votes out of the whole number Of
2,196 exhibitors had been received, Of
which 689 we're in favor of opening on
Sunday, and 500 we're opposed to it.
So hereafter the exhibition will be open
on Sunday, but the machinery will be
stopped and nothing will be sold on

GRANT IN ENGLAND.-The English
people seem to be irving to outdo the
toadyism shown to the Prince of Wales
during visit to this country a fewyears
ago, by like fiattering attentions to ex-
President Grant. Wherever he goes
he is met and cajoled, and feasted, and
fIattered, and befondled, till, were he
any other kind of man than he is,
he would long ago have become
weary and disgusted with il. When
the Emperor of Brazil came to the
States last year, he avoided as much as
possible the fattery and fawning of
American toadyists, and travelled as a
private citizen. Not so Grant. True
to his character, he accepts every par
ticle of homage that is offered him as an
offering to his superior eminence. The
derefence-Dom Pedro was Of some
account and was accustomed to true
difference; the other is Of no account
and knows it. Hence he takes what
he can get.

UNLIKE MOST FIRES, where the
losses dwindle upon the closer esti-
mates, the losses by the St. John fire
are now placed at much larger figure
than was estimated when the calamity
occurred. The total loss, it is thought,
will exceed twenty millions Of dollars,
upon which the insurance is placed at
about six millions. This is a very
heavy loss for town like St. John and
the underwriters doing business there,
but her people have the American
spirit, and already show plain signs of
quick reconstruction. Contributions in
behalf Of the sufferers, for the present
necessities Of the helpless, amount al
ready to the handsome amount of
100000 in money, in addition to large
quantities of provisions and clothing.

The United States Consul at Buenos
Ayres writes to the State Department,
under date Of May IA, an account ii
one of the most disastrous rain storms
that has ever occurred in the Argen-
tine Republic. 1t lasted almost con
tinuously for several weeks all the
pampas in the province Of Buenos
Ayres were flooded, and the number of
cattle, horses and sheep lost are esti-
mated at hundreds of thousands, if not
millions.
In San Francisco, on Sunday morn
ing, the congregation Of Grace Church
found the church doors closed, and
when they were forced, the sexton,
John F. Gamerston, was discovered
lying on the floor of the chaucel, with
his throat cut. 1t is supposed he will
recover. Trouble with members of
the church which led to the acceptance
Of his resignation, is supposed to have
caused the deed.
There was severe storm at Mem
phis, Tenn, on Sunday evening. All
the steamboats, at the levee were driven
from their moorings, aud one of them
was damaged to the extent of $500.
A church and several dwellings were
partially unroofed.
From seventeen to twenty thousand
of the homeless suferes of the fire at
st. Johns are daily supplied with sub
stantial food at the rink, where contri-
buttons are concentrated. The amount
Of provisions already consumed has
been enormous, but the stock holds out
well and is constantly replenished.
During the last week the revenue
officials have broken up fourteen illicit
distilleries in the mountain counties Of
Tennessee, killed one illicit distiller,
badly wounded two, and made twelve

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

The operations along the Danube
have assumed a much greater impor-
tance than heretofore, and all interest
is concentrated on the movements Of
the opposing forces in that quarter.
Early in the week the Russians began
the crossing Of the river, and up to the
time of receiving the latest dispatches
upwards Of $4,000 Of the Cars troops
had reached the Turkish side. The
crossing was not effected, however,
without opposition. The Turks made
determined resistance to their pro-
gress, and some severe fighting took
place. They were finally compelled to
abandon their Notifications along the
river and retire inland. When the
news Of the crossing Of the Danube was
announced in St, Petersburg it was re-
ceived with great demonstrations Of re-
joicing. The Gar issued q proclama-
ton to the people Of Bulgaria, declar-
ing that the object of the war was the
amelioration of the lot of christian in
habitants Of Turkey; promising equal
protection to all the inhabitants of Bull
garia without regard to nationality, and
to replace Turkish despotism by regu-
larly organized governments in which
the native inhabitants will be called
upon to take part. The proclamation
concludes: @Follow faithfully the in
structions Of the Russian authorizes.
Therein lay yourstrength and security.
With humility pray the Lord to grant
US victory over the enemies of chris
tianity, and TO send down his blessing
upon our just cause"
Much severe fighting has taken
place in Asia. In fact it has been al
most continuous. Twice the Turks
claim to have defeated the Russians
with heavy losses, and the Russians
claim to have defeated the Turks the
number of times. A correspon-
dent ofthe London Standard, who pro-
fesses to have seen the fight, says that
the Russians attacked the Turkish po-
sition at Zewin, on the 21st, in heavy
force, but were finally compelled, after
a most stubborn battle which lasted the
whole day, to retire. The loss in killed
and wounded in this engagement was
very great. The attack was renewed
the next day, and most stubborn fight
ing again ensued, but the Russians
we're forced to retire.
On Sunday the Russian batteries
opened upon Rutschuk, in Bulgaria,
md terrible bombardment was kept |
Up for several days upon the town.
The Turks met the bombardment with |
,oolness and replied with telling effect.
The scenes during the shelling Of the
,ity are described as fearful. Shells
crashed through the roofs Of the hos
,itals, bursting among and killing and
many of the inmates.
In Montenegro the Turks continue to
ldvance, the Montenegrins being no
onger able to offer any successful re-
istance.

The wholesale hanging of Mollie
Maguires, last week, does not seem to
have cured the survivors of their mur-
derous propensities, nor greatly in
creased their fear Of the laws. Two
men who were witnesses in the trial of
the recently executed men have been
assassinated, and two others-also wit
nesses, have mysteriously disappeared,
and it is feared that they, too, have
fallen victims to the murderous COM
