Exit the Centennial Exposition.

The Centennial Exposition, which
our readers no doubt thought was dead
and gone long ago, only departed this
life in the present week. The United
States Commission, an easy-going and
much-abused body, met in Philadelphia,
received the closing reports and dis
banded. They exchanged, of course, the
usual congratulatory resolutions, and
talked of testimonials to come. They
might be forgiven a final crow of tri-
umph, for their gigantic undertaking
was really amagnitice success, though
that was OWING, probably, more to the
thoroughness and attention to detail,
which characteriZes any enterprise of
Quaker trained Philadelphians, than
to the exertions of the Commissioners
as whole.
Excepting the Worlds Fair in Lon
don in 1851. ours was the only Inter
national Exhibition which covered ex-
penses with surplus. The amount of
gate-money exceeded all others. BY
the sum reporte |, it appears that 1868
$50 payi g visitors passed through t. e
gates; adding free list and half-pay add

siderably over 8.000,0O0. The Commits

That Excited IDIOT.

He is always on the street, and if you
walk much you will be sure to meet
him at least once n week. He bears
down at rapid pace, and appears to be
going to pass on your left. but at the
distance of two feet he suddenly ducks
to the right. You put on your brakes
and try to veer to the east; he veers to
the east; you try the west; he tries the
west; you try the gutter side; he tries
the gutter side; you try the inside; he
tries the inside; you become excited
and jump for an opening on his right I;
he flu,hes up and jumps in the same
direction. There are but two ways to
get by this excited idiot. The one is to
right-about face, and go round the block ;
the other is to grab him around the
waist and hold him till policeman
comes up and let's you go by.

Old Couples.

The Pennsylvania couple who were
married few days ago at the ages of sc
and 81 are considerably outdone by two
representatives of the Jewish race in
Russian Poland. The bride was a
widow precisely 100 years old; the
groom was youth of SO. Indeed, the
bride has daughter, with whom she
has lately lived, whose age is as great
within four years as her step.father's,
while great-great-g reat-granddaughter
is girl of 13. Notwithstanding her ad-
vanced age, the bride is said to be strong
i'll her faculties. She goes out of the
house alone, hears and sees perfectly
well" and retains all her mental powers.

The Hellograph in War.

The Photograph was used for the first
time in war by the British troops which
operated against the Afridis on the
Peshawur frontier, India. This instru-
ment consists of circular mirror, NOV
ing upon universal joint and support
ed on tripod. Wishing to send mes
-ages, the operator, by quick elevation
or depression of the glass, so as to catch
the full glare of the sun, is able to throw
flashes distance of twenty-five miles.
The length of the flashes corresponds
with that of the dashes in the Morse al
phabet, by which the messages are trans
lated. This method of field telegraph
does away entirely with the dangers OF
wire tapping and emitting by the enemy,
and, after thorough test. has Just been
adorted by Che Spanish military au-
thorifies.

Let us look at this wicked blood tax

Let US look at this wicked blood tax
from another point of view. In an
ounce of quinine there are $50 grains.
Each grain, therefore, at the American
price, costs three-quarters of cent. and
of this one-eighth of cent is blood tax.
Each patient who takes dose of quiz
nine of eight grains, therefore, pays l
cent to the monopolist. If fever and
malarial-stricken patients oil over this
land cannot realize this outrageous i'm
position, and can think of it without
holy wrath, they must be very sick, in
deed.-New York Euening Post.
