TIE CENTENNIAL DECISION.

The decision of the supreme court in
the centennial case will compel the man.
ayers of that national exhibition to fork
over to Uncle Sam the full amount of
the money advanced by the national
treasury. The stock of the concern,
which was yesterday quoted in the
eighties, has fallen to twenty-five cents
on the dollar. The judiciary at Phila-
delphia also gets a setback, inasmuch
as the appeal of the government
from the decision of the circuit
court of Philadelphia, which de.
cided in favor of the centennial commits
sioners, is overruled by the unanimous
decision of the full bench. Had the de.
cision of the Philadelphia court been
sustained, not few who specialized in
the stock would have made good haul.
The truth is, there was a centennial
ring, which included in its membership
nearly all the owners of the Philadelphia
newspapers, and about all the commits
sioners. The game was worked quite
adroitly. First it was announced that
the.show would be failure, would net pay
expenses, ETC., until those who were in the
ring bOughts took at low rate, and then
commenced to bull it up. Those on the
ground floor bought it in at fiftv cents
on the dollar; and after the government
appropriation, by liberal newspaper
laudation, shot it up to eighty. Now
that it has dropped to twenty-five, the
peaceable citizens of the Quaker City
will indulge in cuss words and bewail the
ingratitude of the American republic.

Lieut.. Col. w. H. Mercer writes from
Weymouth, England, that many rivers
in America are much chOked with a
weed very difficult to eradicate, and from
which worm is produced which seizes
on the largest trout, and eats through
every part of the fish until it be-
comes unfit for food. Both these
nuisances are now established IN tie
Frome, near Dorchester; the gallant
colonel has taken two larye trout in
one day which were perfectly black
and unfit for food. \ large trout
lately caught was cut open, and guam
tity of the worms were found eating
through the fish. A few years ago, when
the weed wa unknown, many bridges Of
wood were thrown acros, the river BY
the railway company. The wood came
from America, and doubtless carried
seed Of the weed in some of its MANY
splits and cracks. When piles were
