The complete success Of the Atlanta
cotton exposition is somewh bat retarded by
the failure of the railroad companies to
make favorable excursion rates. The
management is very solicitous on this score
and Some relief is hoped for. Oar state
railroads, with Southern connections,
should cooperate in the movement, ,especi-
ally since there are 40 Pennsylvania ex-
hibitOrs there, who have Won by their ell
ergy and public spirit SO far the foremost
| position among their associates.
THE New York SHn in starting upon a
| new rcvolution--"t the sun do move An
| nOunces that it will continue to shine ''for
all, big and little, mean and gracious, coil
teLted and unhappy. Republican and
Democratic, depraved and virtuous, intel
ligcnt and obtusc. The Suns ligh! is for
mankind and wOmankind Of every sort !;
but its genial warmth is for the good,
| while it pours hot discomfort on the blis-
tering backs of the pcrsistently wicked. :"
BLAIR county takes the cake With the
finest courthouse in the state. 1t cost
s1GO, 900 and is planted in the little town
of Hollidaysburg. 1t is built of Ohio
greensboro, with sandstone trimmings,and
| is finished with hard wood in the best
modern style. The court room might
easily be mistaken for city church The
judges seats are as decorOus rs chaEcel
furniture :; the jury box is better equipped
than the ordinary "amen cOrner,' and
| tue criminal dock is twice Us respectable
and not half rs guilty looking Us the aver
age choir loft.
THE Frederick, Nd, court has before
il for consideration the thousands Of suits,
involving tens of thousands OF dollars,
brought by the mOnomaniac, DR.. Harrison
Wagner, who had no real claims lnt OBJ
tained judgments by the neglect Of the
defendants who thought there was nothing
in the suits and paid no heed to the litiga-
ton. The knavish plaintiff has the tech
| nicalities of the law Oh his side, but the
court has strongly intimated that it will
not allow them to prevail in behalf of
such wholesale swindlins and veNatiun of
an entire community.
THE commission sent to Richmond 10y
the state of Massachusetts, to see if the
Ninth regiment did misbehave on its way
to Yorktown has readily been furnished
with evidence that the number of the
soldiers of the regiment engaged III the
alleged misconduct was from City to
seventy five that improper advances were
made toward women in the public streets
that they took possession Of vehicles, put
ting the drivers off that they invaded
barrooms and helped themselves, refusing
to pay for the drinks, and that they COM
mitted many other acts of wantonness.
Already the Bostoncso answer that the
Ninth are not representatives of the
Culchaw " but raw Irislman from the
wharfs. All tho same on the field Of
Yorktown the blco ly Ninth out marched
and outdrilled all the the other Yankee
militia.
THE famous lie Moyne crematory, near
Washington, Pa, looks like country
school house, built Of brick, with CORFU
gated iron roof, and in an enclosure fenced
off from a field on young LIE Moyne's farm
just across the way from his residence The
building contains small reception room
wherein is left on q table the handsomely
carved box in which Mrs. Ben Putnam's
body was brought from Cincinnati, ard
little other furniture adOrns the apartment.
Next to it is the oven, with place under it
for a roaring fire, and an iron rack on which
the body to be crematcd is laid, wrapped
in an alum water soaked sheet. The oven
is heated up for day before cremation
and afterwards is given about twenty
houls to cool off. Five or six pounds of
ashes arc the average result. 1t costs only
s45 to take the body from the station at
Washington. cremate it and return the
ashes for shipment. About a dozen
have been burned and recurrence OF the
event creates no more excitement in tho
st lid town than an ordinary funeral.
THE Republican professed love for the
soldier was most beautifully illustrated in
the Lynchburg postofice matter. The
late incumbent, Captain Wilson, was des-
porately wounded in one of the assaults on
the Confederate works at Vicksburg, and
was left by his comrades, who supposed
him to be dead. His wound destroyed an
eye, and inflicted serious injuries on his
shoulder, SO that he is not able to Ia
Dor for the support of his family.
Aftor long and painful suffering, he at
last recovered sufficiently to rejoin his
friends and family in Illinois, to find that
a grateful state had inscribed his name on
a monument erected to the gallant men
who had fallen at Vicksburg. This man
