A large quantity of unclaimed
goods left on the Centennial grounds
by the exhibitors will soon he euld tu
satisfy the claims of the custom house
officers, most of the property thus
abandoned belonging to exhibitors
from foreign countries. One year Of
grace was allowed in which the owners
of goods upon which no duty had
been paid could redeem their proper
ty, and much has BEEN recovered and
taken away since the close of the
great show, but more than one hun
dred cases of goods yet remain I'M
claimed and abandoned.
They comprise machinery and mer-
chandise OF almost every description,
from probably every country that was
represented at the Centennial, and it is
said they probably would not bring
more than one-fourth their cost at
auction, but even this would bring a
large sum of money,
There will be three sales held at
different times, commencing about the
tenth of this month.
The sales are to be advertised with
more prominence and greater attention
to particulars than usual, and the ap-
praisers' force are now busy opening,
unpacklng, valueing, scheduling and
otherwise preparing for them.

A New Way TO Stop Gambling.

Richard A. Proctor In the London Echo.
Every man OF sense and probity admits
that gambling is immoral; but, like many
other things admitted 10 be immoral. gam
bling goes on almost unchecked. The law
is. indeed, altogether powerless to prevent
gambling. That this is SO is shown by the
effect of the law according to which gam
bling debts cannot be recovered at Com
MOI, Law. Such debts have been made
debts Of honor, and nlen who would think
:;ttle Of defiaudipy an ordinary creditor
pay their gambling debts not only in full,
but early. In fact, sgsfbc among the gam
bling community have been known rather
to rob their employers than to delay IN
payment of debt OF honor (save the
mark!) OF course there are cases in which
gambling debts are not paid. 1t would be
strluge, indeed, ii it were otherwise 80
s,icl, 4 company of fools and knaves. But
certainly the Act and Vict.. c. l09, has
had nothing to do with such shortcom-
ings. In fact. if a law were passed by
which every gambling debt was made re-
coyeralle within three days. under penalty
nf Imprisonment or logging. believe thal
gambling would rcccive severer cIecA
Though such law would in reality coun
fenance gambfing) than from any law hitn
erto passed against betting or gaming.

A AcHcp.sOne.

An intelligent farmer living in Dcs Moine
county. Iowa. has invented a henephone,
modelled Oh the principle Of the telephone,
by which one old reliable hen, occupying
a central office in the henery sits on all the
nests about the establishment, leaving
other fowls free to lay eggs, scratch and
ctckle. AS fast rs a new nest contains Il
full complement Of eggs. it is connected
with the central Office by a copper wire
and the business is settled. The only
trouble with the machine is that it sits SO
hard that ii matches out the porcelain nest
egg with the others. SO that one chick in
every nest is born with glass eyes, and the
farmer has to buy and train dog to lead
it around. This makes II rather expensive.
