OUR EXPOSITION.
Exhibits Arriving More Rapidly.

One of the greatest hives of industry in
our city at the present time is the Exposi'
tion Buildings. Here the dull thud OF the
hammer can be heard in all directions, and
the whiz of the saw accompanies it. Work
ing men are busy all over ths entire build
ing, some erecting railing and booths Tor
exhibits, some putting the finishing touches
on the building. Boxes, lumber, brick, and
in fact all kinds of material lies around on
the floors of the numerous departments IN
the greatest profusion. There are some
rushing in all directions with implements
of all description. Painters with brush IN
hand are covering the wood work with
various colors
Power Hall isall ready to receive exhibits,
and is only waiting on the exolDitors W
come in with their goods.
Mr.. Norton, the able and efficient super,
iptendent of Power Hall, is untiring and
courteous in his efforts to locate the exhlp-
itors as they come in. He is thoroughly
experienced in his business, as he has acted
in that capacity several times.
Floral Hall is still under way, but there
seems to be little progress in this depart
mept. The Cascade, it seems, will never be
finished, as they keep piling up rock upon
rock, 1t is really an enormous affair;
something that will. when finished, be
superbly grand In fact no one can realize
the enormity of the whole interior OF the
building.
But it should be stated, in justice to
every one concerned, in no matter what
capacity, that they are doing all they can.
1t is big building; it takes great deal to
FILL it, and it will most undoubtedly,
barring all opinions to the contrary. be
ready to open to the public on the 10th
of September, the day designated.

The Brisbane Courier calls attention to the
fact that the whole of the Polynesian race is
dying out. The Maori people are declining
rapidly, and so are the Hawaiians. They
have shown themselves to be capable of the
acceptance of civilization; they have made
great improvements in a short time, and yet
they are dwindling. 1t is not that they perish
IN the process of civilization. An exchange,
commenting on the fact, says: "The fact
seems to be That certain branches of the
human race are under the sentence of ex-
~tinction. They lack productive power.
There are not sufficient children born to sup.
ply the gaps caused by death. The Caribs of
the West Indies once numbered many NIL
lions, but they have vanished until there is
only a faint trace of them in petty communal
ties formed by escaped negro slaves who mar
RED Carib women. And the allied races in
Central and South America have dWindled at
a rate which cannot be accounted for by wal
and massacre" 1t is a very good specimen
of theorizing only it does not explain how
the Caribs come to number many millions, if
they lacked productive power. There is a
good deal of absurd speculation on such sub
,jects.-Methodist.
At the recent session of the American
Board of Foreign Missions, at Syracuse, a
summary of its work since organization was
presented, showing that it has received and
expended, in all, about SIT, 100000; has Or
gained about $50 native churches, with up
ward of so, zoe communicates; has sent about
$50 missionaries, some $50 of whom were
women, and has issued religious publications
in forty-six different languages. That is Ger
tainly a record the Board has no occasion to
be ashamed Of.
A pleasant report is made of the kingdom
of Greece. 1t has, as a recent census shows,
doubled its population since 1888, and now
contains 1,6S0,O0O inhabitants. Athens was,
forty years ago, little more than a village;
ten years ago it bad $4,000 citizens, now 1t
contains $4,000, and there are $4,000 more at
its seaport. This growth is a direct result Of
independence and liberal institutions.
Russian jurors make up their verdicts with
out the slightest reference to the evidence.
Toward the close Of 1877 and the beginning
of 1879, frequent complaints were made to
the chief postal authorities in st. Petersburg,
of letters not having reached their destina-
tons, and inquiry being made, a letter carrier
named Alexeyef was arrested on suspicion.
In his lodgings were found, among other
| things, about 220 opened letters, with over
thirty money orders, in consequence OF which
he was brought to trial. 1t was proven that
he had gradually stolen a large sum of money,
which he did not deny but he excused him
self on the double ground that he was very
drunk, and had no time frequently to deliver
all the contents of his bag. These pleas must
have seemed of overpowering cogency to the
minds of the jury, for they pronounced him
+" not guilty." and he was acquitted.

Plain Statement OF Facts.

When l learn that only one farm in TWEEN
ty-five is paid for when bought, the wonder to
ME is, not that so many fail, but that so many
succeed. When Richard Roe buys John Does
farm for ST 500, pays $1,000 down, and givesa
mortgage for $4,000 at eight per cent, expect
ing to make a living for himself and family,
pay Mr.. Doe $50 a month interest, and have a
net three or four per cent. at the end of the
year on $500, it brings no surprise to me
that MI. Roe finds such farming don't pay.
What does the man owD, in fact? Just 3d.
OOO. That figure represents his capital.
There is no kind of business to be found to-
day, other than farming, in which $4,000 can
be made to yield any kind of a living to a
family without drawing on the principal. Any
gain IN interest is not to be thought OF.
Who, of all your readers, can point out any
industry, commercial or mechanical, that will
now pay Ten per cent. on borrowed capital?
What business will pay five per cent. Oh Dor
rowed capital, and leave the plant in as good
a condition at the end of the year as at the
beginning of the year? Not one. Those farm
ers who had so little foresight as to buy more
land than they could handle, are simply doing
what numbers of men in other callings have
lone and will do for all time-glving way to
men who know how to handle money. That's
The rub. Men undertake too much with too
little capital, and inevitably fail.
Farming does pay, and pay we'll, on the
capital actually invested, with such general
intelligent management as would be necessa-
ry in other business. There is no other bust
ness which offers as good security for the in
vestment; there is no other business which
brings more contentment and less wearying
anxiety of mind. The man who owns his
farm and has three or four per cent. at the
end of a year on paid up capital, after sup
porting his family, is actually in better con-
ditlon than nine-tenths of the men in other
callings. To persuade such a man that "Farm-
ing don't pay" would be an act of cruelty.
The man who is mortgaged up to his eyes
is neither farmer, doctor, nor lawyer-he is
only a laborer. Whether through fault or
misfortune, be has no capital, and should not
attempt to cast odium on a calling or interest
from which, under the inexorable law of sur
vival of the fittest, he has been crowded out.

capital punishment, and he swore by his
consular seal and the established church that
the sentence should not be carried out. The
government, however, remained firm as to its
decision, whereupon Knox threatened it with
the vengeace of his nation, declaring that he
would order up the British %gunboats lying
near the mouth Of the Meinam river and
cause the bombardment of Bangkok unless
the sentence was revoked. The menace was,
as may be supposed, idle, intended merely TO
intimidate the King and his Cabinet. But
they would not be intimidated, and soon
after Knox was recalled by his government.
This is the way the story is told by the
English and Americans in Siam, but it is not
at all likely that Pra Peccha has been be-
headed simply for his elopement. He must
have been found guilty of more momentous
offenses to justify such extreme measures.
Still, as Siam is an absolute monarchy, the
can do what it likes without
accountability to its subjects. The whole
thing, as reported here, is most extraordinary,
and, but for its tragic termination, would read
like the libretto of an opera bouffe. If a mar
can be officially beheaded for marrying a
pretty girl in Siam, matrimony, especially
under romantic aspects, will scarcely be re-
garded there with encouraging favor.-Neao
York Times.

IN SLAM.
Beheading a dan for Elopins witha Girl.

The official beheading of Pra Peccha, a
prominent dignitary of Siam, as announced
yesterday in a dispatch from Singapore is a
very singular proceeding, and the causes
leading to it are so remarkable as to be
worthy of mention. The circumstances as
narrated in private letters from Bangkok, are
substantially these: Thomas e.. Knox, until
recently British Political Agent and Consul
General, stationed at the capital, had resided
there for many years in an official capacity,
having married, soon after going to Indo-
China, a native woman, who bore him two
children, both daughters. They were edu-
Gated in England. One of them is represented
as particularly bright and attractive, and,
after returning to her own country, she was
greatly admired, and had many sultors.
Some months ago the young woman, who had
probably reached the age of 20 or thereabout,
astonished and enraged her father by clipping
with Pra Peccha, and coming back fast mar
ried according to Thai law and Buddhist
form. Consul Knox, who had intended her
for the British matrimonial market, was so
incensed at her husband that he formally
complained to the native government of
Peccha's connubial misdemeanor, which, in
his wrath, he is said to have pronounced a
violation of international law, a heinous
political and social crime, a deadly affront to
John Bull, as represented IN his proper per-
son, and a direct assault on the British con-
stitution. Hyperbolican II absurd as such
assumption was, it Is not unfrequently the
method adopted by British officers abroad
when dealing with people whom they are
pleased to consider but half civilized. The
Siamese government seemed to regard Pee
cha's offense as seriously as the British Con
sui had one 1t ordered the new husbands
immediate arrest and trial on the gravest
charges, high treason, we believe, being one
of them, and in due time he was, to the
amazement and horror Of his father-in-law
and bride, condemned to death. This was
much more than the British Consul had bar
gained for. Notwithstanding his wrath, ht
did not think hat a runaway match, deserved
