The Yorktown Celebration,
RETURN OF THE CENTENNIAL COMMISSION
 PREPARATIONS AND EXPECTATIONS.

The Yorktown Centennial Commission have completed preliminary arrangements tract of 800 acres has been purchased, and the site selected for the memorial shaft com mands view of the river for several miles, both above and below the town. The old Moore House, in which the equalization was signed by Lord Cornwalls, is not now occu- pied; but it is undergoing repairs, and will be fitted up for President Garfelds head quarters during the Centennial ceremonies The country in the immediate vicinity affords magnificent sites for large encampments of troops and for parades, having plenty of water, shade trees and extensive fields. The committee are now devisiDg the best plan for landing the Nations guests, and those who visit Yorktown-going by water-to take part in the cerem onies.
 On the 18th of October the cornerstone will be laid by the Masons of Virginia It is expected that f, ,O0O Masons will take part, making an encampment there for two or three days. On the 18th Governor Holli- day, of Virginia, will deliver an address. On the 18th the President will receive the monu- ment on the part of the Nation, and the dedi- catory exercises, consisting of an oration, poem and ode, will take place. It is sug- gested that 0 grand chorus and orchestra be organized to render the ode. Judging from the responses received by the committee, there will be present ct least 10000 troops. All the thirteen original States will be repre- sented by their Governors and citizen sol diery. Itis expected that French regiment will be present,

Corn as Fuel.

Not few good people, in parts where fuel is cheap and food dear, have been shocked by reports from the West of settlers resorting to corn for fuel. To the sentimentalist it seems dreadful, almost sinful, that grain which might feed thousands of hungry people should be "destroyed" in that way; ana we have heard some speak as though it would be almost virtue in the Iowa farmer to freeze to death and save the corn for it's more legitimate use as food.
 The LoeOa State Register looks at the question in @ more matter of-fact and sensible way. It has tried corn as fuel, and finds that corn in the ear can be burned in stoves made for either soft or hard coal, and is an especially good fuel for cooking stoves. Moreover, the cost of growing corn in Iowa is so small that it is as economical to raise corn for fuel on the prairies as it is to import coal or grow wood, certainly off the lines of railway.
 An acre of corn can be raised for about $6, including the rent of the land. Fifty bushels of corn will weigh $500 pounds, or equal to ton and three-quarters oi soft coal. This, at fifteen cents per bushel (which is as much as corn was worth on the farm away from railroads last winter), would be as cheap for fuel as soft coal at $4 per ton. Two bushels of corn will make fire which will keep family warm all day, even in very cold weather.

A Singular Case of Sleep. Walking.

A story of somnambulism which comes from Maine sounds very much more like some romance of the footlights than plain matter-of-fact statement which is vouched for by an entire community of respectable people. From their tes- timony it seems that Miss Sadie Lord, of Clinton, a little village on the Bangor Railway, has for some time past given evidence of tendency to sleep walking. This her mother, the well-to-do widow of farmer, has done everything poss1- ble to coun teract, but, as the event has proved, without effect. Two hours be- fore midnight, a few evenings since, Mrs. Lord was awakened from sound sleep by an unusual noise, and was at once astonished and troubled to find that her daughter was not beside her. A moment afterward she heard the young lady in the next room, and, upon looking further, she found her fast asleep, and with but scant clothing, wandering about in an aimless fashion, which so alarmed the mother that she was barely able to gasp out her daugh- ter's name. Upon this the girl started wildly out of the room, out of the house and across the fields toward the railway track, upon which the night express was rapidly approaching. In an agony of suspense the mother rushed after her, but to her cry the sleep walker gave no reply. Unconscious of her danger she ran in front of the locomotive, es caping death almost by hair. Ther she went on into the darkness and out of sight. As soon as possi ble the churcl bell of Clinton was rung, a genera alarm sounded, and all the men in tht little community turned out to searcl for the girl. She was found at last { long way from home nestled under ar ox-cart in a farm-yard, and apparently sleeping as peacefully as if she was il her own warm bed. Her escape iron the passing train and the deep Kenne
 bee, which flows near her home, can
 under the circumstances, be regarded a
 little short of providential.

Causes Of War.

A certain king sent to another king, saying:
 "Send me blue pig with black tail, or else-"
 The other one immediately replied:
 "I have not got such an one, and if l had"
 On this weighty cause they went to war. After they had exhausted their armies and resources, and laid waste their kingdoms, they began to wish to make peace but before this could be done it was necessary that the insulting language that led to the trouble should be explained.
 "What conld you mean," asked the second king, "by saying; Send me a blue pig with black tail, or else--'"
 "Why," said the other, "I meant 8 blue color. But what could you mean by saying: T have not got one, and if l
 "Why, of course, if I had, I should have sent it,
 The explanation was satisfactory, and the peace was accordingly concluded.
 The story of the two kings ought to serve as lesson to us all. Most of the quarrels between individuals are quite as foolish as the war of the blue pig with the black tail.

He Exaggerated.

What MT. Gradgrind admired was not fun, but facts. Humorous exaggeration was quite out of his line. Gradgrind would have been delie htei to have met with clergyman living in Kentucky, of whom friend sends Us thu following an- ecdote
 A we'll known minister by the name of Walsh, living in Kentucky, was noted for making evtravagant statements. One pleasant Sunday, while on his way to the sanctuary, he started up a fox, which ran under tree that had blown down, or, as it is called, the Clap of a tree." When he reached the church the first man he met was Deacon Nash.
 :sBrother Nash," said he, 'as I was coming to church this morning started up fox, and it ran under the lap of a tree. When came up I took hold of a limb and gave it good shake, and l believe, Brother Nash, that five hundred foxes ran out from under that tree."
 "Why," replied Deacon Nash, ''I be- lieve, Brother Walsh, if you had given that limb another shake they would atl have ran out"

Fashion Notes,

Bright gold color, not to say yellow, is one of the most popular shades in dress.
 Little puffed pockets of ombre and Bayadere silks are worn, with sashes to match. ~a
 Albatross cloth is the new material destined to rival Chudda cloth and nuns yelling.
 Embroidery of the finest kind is con- sidered more elegant on null dresses than lace.
 Sateens and cambrics are more in de- mand at the moment than muslin, lawns or linens.
 Bright and soft colors harmoniously combined form the market feature of summer fashions.
 Figured delaines to match and com bine with plain ones appear among the spring novelties.
 Many small tucks, much shirring and fine embroidery are the adornments of null muslin toilets.
 Ombre or shaded Surah is in demand for collars, cuffs, and revers of suits in sober or neutral tints.
 Shirred waists, with shirred yokes and belted in fullness at the waist line, ap- pear among late novelties.
 Brocaded stuffs, with the flowers and figures outlined in gold or silver, are used to brighten dark and dull tinted toilets.
 The Easter season evening toilet of high ceremony is of white Surah, trimmed with white Spanish lace, pearl and crys- tal beaded.
 Bayadere striped goods form the cuffs, collars and revers of all dressy costumes ot silk or wool in solid colors or cheviot mixtures. -
 Little children begin to wear Mother Hubbard garments and hats, which make them look as if they had stepped out of the covers of Kate Greenaway's books.
 Gray summer silk suits are beautifully frightened with collars, cuffs and acces- sories of Bayadere stripes in shades of peacock blue, maroon, garnet, old gold and steel.

Do Nothing.

Giving good advice costs nothing /; many people are fond of giving advice. But good advice is sometimes useful, and here is an instance in illustration A prominent and well-to-do citizen re- lates that he was once sorely perplexed by business question he could not see his way clear in regard to it, and puzzled and worried, he sought the ad- vice of m old. Quaker friend in whose judgment he had great confidence. After stating his case and describing his per plexity, this advice was given him by the Quaker merchant: "So long as thee cannot see thy way clear what to do, do nothing" That advice stands good to- day as it was when given to our friend fifty years ago, and it may be safely ac- cepted as sound and wise advice to fol- low.

A Turtle Farm.
RAISING TURTLES FOR THE NORTHERN
 MARKETS. ....-.. ..

Some years ago, rustic gave to Mr. Dorlon, the owner of a terrapin farm near Mobile, dozen diamond back ter rapin, beloved of epicures from Balti- more to Boston. They were of no value in Mobile and were rarely eaten, but it occurred to MT. Dorlon to send them to Fulton market, New. York city, for sale. Almost by return mail he re- ceived from his commission merchant SIS and an order for more. Then he be- gan to deal in them systematically. Digging two canals and arranging an ingress and egress for the tide, he bought terrapins as fast as he could get them, imprisoning, the captives in his capacious canals, where they could swim in the fresh currents, snooze in the mud or bask on the sand-ridges, as suit ed their fancy. As soon as wild fowl come into season the terrapin are dug out of the ooze at the bottom of the canals-where at the beginning of autumn they bury themselves in order to keep warm-and are put into perfo- rated box floating in the tideway. Kick ing their heels joyfully in this warm, pure water, they rapidly get rid of their muddy blanketings and exhibit their rugged, armored backs and the red and yellow scales with which their hard little heads are adorned. Then, we'll cleaned, they are packed in box on top of one another, right side up, press ed down tightly, a few air holes are bored in the bottom, and away they go to New York, to be sold at three or four times as much as they cost.
 The men who supply MT. Dorlon with his annual stock of terrapin are the oyster men, who are not engaged in their regular occupation during the summer. Early in June the turtles land upon the sandy, seaward beaches and crawl under the bushes to bury their eggs. This continues for about six weeks. Every morning the shoremen take their dogs and go turtle-hunting. The dogs are miserable, breedless CUTS, but are tralned to track their game to its nest and, having found it, bark vo- ciferously until the master comes up and puts the terrapin in his bag. A man and good dog used sometimes to cap- ture hundred turtles day, but now they are far more scarce than formerly, To remedy this, the breeding of the captive turtles in the canals has been encouraged, and, in year or two, MT. Dorlon will probably have large num- Der of tame bred terrapin ready for market.

There are few houses in New York who have gained and earned the entire confidence of their patrons. Among these, Knox, the Halter, Broadway, cor.

Thousands of the best citizens have standing orders for him to supply them with seasonable hats, leaving, to: him the selection of style and fixing of price, knowing his styles are always the latest, his goods the best, and that his prices are honest.

Travelling in Old Times.
AN OVERLAND JOURNEY OF WASHINGTON . AND HIS WIFE.

A careful inspection of the vehicles of former times leads us to the conclusion that our forefathers were lined with zinc and copper-fastened-for nothing short of it could have withstood the jolt ings and jarrings, the bouncings and bumpings entailed upon those who used any other mode of locomotion except that which nature provides. The chariot in which General and Mrs. Washington went to Philadelphia upon his election to the Presidency was no doubt an in- strument of torture. To the discomforts of this rumbling old carriage may be added, for the General, the mcessant wagging of Mrs. Washington's tongue, for it is 8 we'll known fact that Martha was of shrewish nature, and made no bones of giving the General her views in very forcible manner. The method of travelling which they pursued gave pub licity to the fact that the General had a curtain lecture every night for night l cap. In the course of their journey they arranged to spend the nights at the ! houses of the gentry scattered along be- tween Mount Vernon and Philadelphia, and Martha was often heard to nag her lord and master until loud snore an- nounced that the General was safe in l the land of dreams from all worldly an- noyances.
 The chariot was the acknowledged mark of aristocracy. A journey in these days entailed retinue, somewhat after the following order
 l. Marster and Missis in carriage. 2. Marster's 'sboy" on horseback, with led horse for Marster to ride when he wished to stretch his legs.
 3. A wagon containing two hair trunks and Missis' maid.
 The rate of progression was about four | miles an hour. ..-E
 The habit of carrying servants even on neighborly visits obtained in Virginia and Maryland until the abolition of slav- cry. A form of entertaining called Spending the day. was the fashion. This consisted of going to 8 friends house early in the morning and staying until late in the evening, consuming the interval in succession of meals. Be- sides the visitors, the coachman and horses, there was usually ''maid, "who sat on the rack behind the carriage, swinging her legs in ecstatic delight at the prospect of 'going abroad"
 Chaises were the only two-seated ve- hicles in use, and were something like a modern top buggy, except that they had but two wheels. Consequently, going up hill, the occupants were being spilled out behind, and going down hill they were spilled out before.
