CORRUP7 YON IN HIGH PLA CES.

The most disheartening contemplation of
the recent history of the nation is that which
in peering into the management of the gov
eminent finds muck of corruption and dis
honesty. This has been the case more es-
pecially of late years, and no amount of in
vestigation and example seems to check it 10
the least We may for q time be so Influenced
by partizan zeal and prejudice as to rejoice at
the downfall Of him who has been opposed to
us in politics, but in calmer moments of re-
Fiction it comes to US with all the strength of
conviction that such state of affairs is preiu-
dcial even 10 the credit of the government.
When world sees that government is ma
npulated by tricksters and corrupt men il is
natural that their confidence should be shaken,
and, If the evils continue, it must at last be-
come confirmed distrust. So far the credit of
the nation has not been much disturbed, be-
cause of our institutions; but the strongest con-
structions must yield if the ram continues to
knock against it. This republic has grown
with rapid growth, partly attributable to
the people and to the vast natural wealth
of the country, but it must be remembered
that we started at the point where il took other
peoples centuries TO reach. Our government
was founded in the midst of civilization,
whilst other nations fought with and through
the errors of earlier times, So that whilst we
have attained the present position partly by
our own efforts, yet ii is plain that having now
caught up to other powers we must take our
stand in the ranks and be content with the
even step of civilization. We cannot 90 on
in the future as we have done in the past
During the period of our development the ad-
vance has been too much of gush to be Sc
riously impeded by any minor evils in the
government, but now as we must walk at a
slower pace we will find evils and imperfec-
tons hurteul. AS we go along we will find
imperfections in our laws SUCH indeed, has
already been the case, for we have found
flaw in the law respecting the election of our
President. These must be corrected, and must
be done as fast as they arise.
Now we have got to that period where we
are finding on, our mperiectons, and it is the
most vital period Of our existence For 10
correcting these evils we show to the world
that our government is not perfectly sound,
and II at this period corruption is even suspi-
cioned let il be inquired into most searchingly
and punished most rigidly. No cry of revo-
luton should iutimidate, for If the worst
comes to the worst the country had better
wreck under an effort to save itself than fall
to pieces under processes of its own rottenness.

Mr. Editor IL am always glad to be correct
ed when in error either as to fact or argument
do not desire to mislead your readers, aud
thank you for your effort 10 keep me right as
to the Mount Zion petition. But with due
Difference do not think | am. The point
made was that the prohibitory liquor law for
Brookeville and Cracklin district was strictly
local in its provisions. Its object was to secure
to each village and neighborhood entire con-
troll over its liquor traffic. Mount Zioa was
not to control Unity, nor Unity Mount Zion.
Now II so happened that one of the two names
mentioned by you, as giving responsibility to
the petition, is a resident of the immediate
neighhorhood Of Unity with all of his rela-
tons, associations and intercourse with the
village, and the other, | imagine, will hardly
feel complimented, or be willing to acknowi-
edge himself y resident Of Mount Zion. I'M
Ill you can show one or both TO be residents
OF Mount Zion, respectfully submit that
have made no "mstake" IN my communica-
ton Five-sixths OF the thirty signers which
you mention as having signed Browns petit
ton was made up Of residents of Brookeville,
Mechanicsville, Laytonsville aud Unity, con-
sequently as the lawyers say "outside of the
record, as was shown by MIR. Hutton in the
argument, and therefore can only be classed
with regard TO this law as intruders in the
local affairs Of Mount Zion. ADD.

Gov. Swans Wedding.

On the goth of this month The Hon. Thomas
Swain was married TO Mrs Jno. r. Thompson
at the residence of the bride, Princeton, N.
J. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
says 1.-THE occasion was a brilliant one.-
The tying of the knot that united Mrs
Thompson, aged ffty-three, with Ex-Governor
Thos Swami, at the serene, but hale and
hearty, age of seventy-two, was therefore de-
ayed until nearly O'Clock. From that time
until 1880 the newly married pair held Ia re-
ception ard received the congratulations oil
friends.
The private car of John W. Garrett was
then occupied by the bridal party, and went
flying over Jersey sands to New York The
summons to the wedding was printed on
cream-coored paper, folding square. Fifteen
hundred were issued, many by way of COM
pliment. None of the immediate family Of
Mr.. Swami were observed to be present. At
the wedding ceremonies Hassler's orchestra
of fifteen pieces were placed on the piazza,
with Professor Mark welding the baton -
The signal being given by the opening chords
OF the wedding march in Wagner's "Lohen-
grin, the procession moved.
First came the two ushers, Messrs Gomery
and karga; second in line moved Mrs Gen
Brunette, sister Of the bride, resting upon the
arm of Mr.. Swami. The bride herself, dressed
in plain, close-ftting white satin, with a
diamond necklace (Mr. Swann's gift, J and
roses in her hair, was escorted by her brother
in-law, Mr.. Randall. The nieces of the bride,
Miss Lois Brunette, a TALL handsome brunette,
and Miss Lizzie Norris, u petite blond, fol-
lowed.
The social rule ordering an absence OF
bridesmaids and orange blossoms was OBJ
served.
The Rev. Alfred B. Baker, rector of Trinity
Protestant Episcopal Church of Princeton,
assisted by the Rev. Robert s. bod. then per-
formed the ceremony, and the responses by
both bride and groom were given in tones
foil, clear and audible TO all IN the room The
last words Of the clergyman having been
spoken, Mr.. Swami leaned over and kissed bis
wife with smack as audible as was his re-
ponses, whereupon Mr.. Randall claimed a
similar privilege.
Mrs. John X. Thompson, nee Josephine
Ward, the bride, is the daughter of old Gen
Ward, who represented the Weslchesier dis
trict, OF New York for several terms in Con-
gress. She is the widow of Mr.. John II
Thompson, who was senatar from New Jersey
at the time of his death and is a sister OF Sam
Ward, the famous lobbyist. Mrs. Thompson
was celebrated beauty in her younger days,
and is still remarkably handsome woman
Mrs. Thompson is the granddaughter of
Elkanah Watson, the famous annalst of Phila-
delphia, and one of her sisters is Speaker
RandalPs wife. Mrs. Thompson, then
Miss Ward, made her debut in society when q
girl Of sixteen at Mrs. Persons, in Troy, N
Y, and at once created profound impression
on account of her rare beauty, united with
remarkable ease and grace of manner. While
still young girl she married John Il. Thomp.

prominent politicians in New Jersey, and sht

Immense value-a collectiOn Of

again we miss what would be of
immense value-a collection Of
surgical and medical achievements
during our war. It is generally
believed that during the war we
made great advances in medicine,
and especially in surgery. Now,
when all of the great nations Of
Europe, excepting France, prepare
to cut each others throats, we
might show what we did to heal the
wounds of our own war. Still, it
may help emigration to throw out
the impression that in America tue
science Of medicine and public
relief means alone taking care Of
the teeth.
SCANT EXHIBITS
In mathematical and philosophi-
cal instruments we show the world
some microscopes and spectacles.
In maps we are strong. We have
done good things in furniture, but
they are not seen in this Exhibition.
A washstand, some chairs, O. glass
castor and billiard table sum up
all we can show the French. T am
glad to see Virginia in this group,
if she only sends washstand. In
glass and decorations we do little
or nothing, and in pottery less than
nothing. With clays and colors
enough to rovolutionize the taste
of the world, we might show
profound and an original advance
in tho ceramic arts. But we have
only two exhibits, and these more
in the way of limitations of Puriap
statuary. we have modest disc
play of carpets, two exhibits-one
from Yonkers, the other from Mas
sachusetts yet all the world
knows we make fine carpets. We
have only one display of cutlery,
which shows that we have not
found all the uses for our iron and
coal. In gold and silver we might
do better, especially as we have
passed tho Silver Bill and Mr..
Sherman proposes to redeem all
the greenbacks in gold. But we
fail in this department. There are
some gold pens, some filigree work
and q good collection of Tiffany's
jewolry, The American Watch
Company shows what we can do
with watches, but this is q meagre
display considering how we have
wrested the watch industry from
our Swiss friends and made the
American watch one of the Eu-
ropeap articles of commerce. Here
was CHANCE for our protectionist
friends, but with characteristic
selGshness they missed their chance;
GAS AND COAL.
In heat and light we are strong,
and we show the uses we make Of
gas and coal. These Europeans
have not quite made up their minds
as to whether gas is a poison or
not, and so they have much to
learn. In stoves, gas fixtures,
lamps and furnaces we have eleven
opt Of fifteen from New York.
MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES.
In this group we note the Dis
trict of Columbia. I am afraid our
foreign friends will think that our
perfumery is all made in Toledo
that town sending the only Ameri--
can contribution to that fragrant
group. We do nothing worth mem
ip leather and toys, but
since Brazil is not here, as she was
in Vienna and Philadelphia, with
her birds and flowers in feathers,
we are glad to see a sample of what
we can DO in the form of decora-
ton all the way from st. Augustine.
Florida.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.

In musical instruments America
is strong, although neither Steinway
nor Chickering is present. Perhaps
these houses have enough money {;
but let us hope there ore as good
fish in the sea as have ever been
caught, especially when we see
pianos from Baltimore and organs
from Vermont and violins from
Philadelphia. We should like to
SEQ good old-fashioned banjo
one that could thrum out "Uncle
Ned" and "Dixie's Land" to per
picked Frenchmen, but it is not
here. The banjo and the bones are
80 thoroughly American that their
absence is noted. The spread Of
musical taste, and let lis hope also
musical culture, are SO marked in
America that we have pianos and
organs from Detroit to Cambridge
port

PARIS, May l.-America, while
not comparing with Holland, Bel.
gium, France or England in mag
nitudo, nor with China, Japan or
Italy in richness and beauty of
special objects, still gives an honest,
comprehensive and representative
exhibition. Everything is good
not, not as in other exhibitions, a
nero advertising contest between
pianos, sewing machines and reap
ers, but representative of the genius
and progress Of the country.
While the American secs how much
more his country could do he feels
that in most things we hold our
own with tho oldest and richest
among the nations.
WHAT AMERICA EXHIBITS.
You will note, if you scan the
catalogue carefully, that in the
eight groups into which the ex~
hibits are divided America holds
a prominent place. In works OF art
we are not strong, but Ohio teaches
the masters of the ceramic art
what she can do in painted porcelain,
That shows that the arts are find
ing homo in the prairies. We
have some engravings from Boston
and New York. L suppose tue
sewing machine makers could not
have everything their own way, and
SO many of thom remain away, and
The country which gave the world
the sewing machine only sends US
one OF two.
BOOKS
In books and paintings we are
strong. Plain people, satisfied with
the Lords Prayer in one language,
will be surprised to see that Ameri-
can industry has amplifed it into
500 different languages The
author of this work is Philadel-
phian, with the partly Russian and
partly French name of Ivan G.
Michels. Of books and papers
there are forty exhibits. One firm
presents American chromos, and it
would be interesting to have the
real sentiments of O. French art
jury upon what our friends in Bos,
ton have done in the way of chrome
lithography. The Harpers, the
Appletons and the Lippincotts and
other great houses take part in the
show but we miss other houses
who, one would think, had done
something worthy of consideration
in o worlds exhibition, There is.
however, a difference between mere
pedlers and shopmen and merchants
strenuous for the honor of their
country. In stationery and ink we
have fifteen exhibits, nearly half
from New York.
