CalifOrnia2s Exhibit.

California is preparing to make a
splendid display at the Paris Exposition.
The aggregate space asked for is over
10000 square feet, and the estimated
weight OF the exhibit is 500 tons. The
exhibition OF minerals will be the finest
the world has ever seen. A pyramid,
twenty feet square at the base and nearly
seventy feet high, will represent the
100000 cubic inches OF gold which
have been produced on the Pacific coast.
This mass would be equivalent to solid
block of gold as large as a room sixteen
feet square, and very nearly sixteen feet
in height. Around this pyramid fifty
plate-glass showcases will be arranged,
in which the mineral wealth Of the coun-
try will be shown. Life under ground +"
ON the Comstock lode will be exhibited
by diagrams, and the Suro tunnel will
be fully represented.

around this strange world vary by their
motions and rapidly changing phases
the marvellous spectacle. The inhabit-
ants Of Saturn, however, know. nothing
Of our earth; and, even If by the con-
struction Of colossal telescopes they dis
covered us, they never could tell whether
we were an independent orb or were
fastened to the sun. The best name
they would apply to us would be minute

nus, nineteen times the earth's distance
from the sun, or 2,130, 900, 900 miles,
the earth's annual orbit is simply little
circle of three degrees on each side of
the sun. The sun itself, nineteen times
smaller than it appears to us, transmits
to the Uranian inhabitant seventy times
less light and heat. Even during its
transits the earth is not perceptible to
people on that world. From Neptune,
most distant planet of our system,
5000, 600, 900 miles away from the sun,
the sun seems a huge star, Of dimensions
thirty times less than that. seen by us.
Here the earth is absolutely invisible;
no conceivable instrument could make it
seen. Thus, out of the millions of stars
which spangle the heavens, out of the
vast infnity Of worlds there are only
five, at most six, to inhabitants on which,
if any there be, the existence Of this
world of ours can be known.

DARTMOUTH COLLEGE. Rev. DR.. Sam
uel G. Bartlett, professor of biblical litera-
ture in the Chicago theological seminary,
was elected president of Dartmouth Col
lege TO succeed Dir. Asa d. Smith, who re-
signs from ill-health, by the trustees at
Concord. January 30th. There were Il
number of candidates for the position, and
DR.. Bartlett's election will meet with favor
among the graduates of the college, es-
pecially in New England, where he is
intimately known. lie is native of
Salisbury, N. H., was graduated ut Dart
mouth in 1886, and Andover theological
seminary, and preached first ut Monson,
from 1886; he WAS professor in West
ern Reserve college until 1852, then pastor
of a Congregational church at Manches-
ter, N. H., going to Chicago rs pastor OF
the New England church in 1857, and, the
next year. becoming connected with the
theological seminary. The retirement of
President Smith will be widely and gen.
timely regretted. Itcompletes the changes
from the old administration to new that
have been going on in all Our New Eng
land colleges the past few years, and re-
tires the last Of the old and long-in-ollice
presidents. DR.. Smith goes out against
the wishes Of the trustees, and in obedi'
ence to The imperative demand of his over
worked constitution for rest and relief
from care. The old administration has
been marked by notable accessions to the
college funds, and, with better times, and
as these moneys become available, the
new will owe its success largely to the
practical genius of President Smith in this
direction.

HE REPUBLICAN PARTY SAVED. The
arbitration is the escape of the republican
party from threatened destruction.
a conspiracy had been entered into to
count Mr.. Hayes in rs President. 1t was
based on fraudulent returns from Florida
and Louisiana. The plan proposed was
to be carried through by the President of
the Senate, supported Us it was expected it
would be, by the republican majority in
that body.
This was the scheme, but it must now
be apparent TO every one that it could not
have been carried out; and that if it had
been carried out, it would have ruined the
republican party forever. The majority
of the Senate would not have consented 10
it, and the failure would have left the re-
publican body broken by n radical and FL
tai schism, and covered with the shame OF
defeated conspiracy
Now it is true there has been contro-
vcrSy within the party, not much worse
than all parties continually have to under
90; but the result is that the republicans
are eXtricated from their immediate peril.
The almost absolute decision of the Presi-
dental question is left TO Judge Joseph p.
Bradley of Newark, II partisan to whom
his party never looked in vain, Hayes
being counted in, the frauds by which This
result is established will be covered with
the quasi mantle of the Supreme Court
and If Tilden should possibly be declared
elected, the republican purity will yet
have been preserved.
The gain to the republicans in this cleo
toral bill is something immense and UNI
paraleled, while the democrats have been
sgnaIIy circumvenled. The democratic
House of representatives had the determi-
nation Of this great question in their own
hands; and now it is in the hands Of DO
seph ? Bradley.-N Y, Sun, (dcnej.
