Although that fact is not formally az

Although that fact is not formally ad.
mitted, yet it seems to be pretty well
settled, says the Washington Star, that
the proposed Worlds Fair will not be
held in New York in 1888. The diff
culties appear to be, first, want of
money; second, want of suitable site;
third, want of proper management;
fourth, want of interest in the show
itself. Up to the present time less than
a million dollars have been subscribed
in aid of the enterprise, fact which of
itself proves that the people do not care
for the exhibition. There is plenty of
money in New York, and if the pro-
posed exhibition were a matter that
strongly appealed to the interest or the
pride of the people of that city there
would be no trouble or delay in raising
ali the funds necessary to make it a
success. These provided, all the rest
would follow easily and quickly enough.
If. therefore, the matter is not already
formally abandoned, it may as well be.
1t is clear now that if pushed forward it
would drag along painfully, and finally
result in such hating and spiritless
affair as nobody could well be proud of.

1t must, says the Philadelphia Times
Qnd }, ''seem like leaf from his visiting
statesman days to Garfield to see again
in Washington the old familiar faces of
Madison Wells, Mrs. jerks, Pitkin,
Pinchback and the odds and ends of
that piebald throng that made his Lou
isiana sojourn beautiful picture to hang
in the halls of memory. A reform ad-
ministratjon without these great and
good men and women would be pretty
poor affair. But as their confessions are
no longer dangerous, perhaps they may
not find silence a commodity under Gar
field as it was under Hayes"

Electric Lighting Of Streets.

Mr.. Edison has obtained permission
from the municipality of New York to
lay the wires for his system of lighting
the streets by electricity, and he is-un
derstood to have gone vigorously to work
with his preparations The wires are 10
be laid under the pavements instead of
extended over them, and of course
cable is demanded instead of simple
wire. The cable preferred by Mr.. Edi-
son is Swiss patent, invented in Cor
taillod, in that republic, by Berthoud
and Borel. The supply of this especial
wire is rather limited at present, and
this will tend to prevent the immediate
general use of the lights. The importation
of such cable, moreover, makes it more
costly, from customs duties and
freight, than if it were prepared
here, and arrangements are making for
setting up an American factory, from
which the supply of cable may in future
be obtained The Edison lamps are still
10 De manufactured at MEMO FarK, as
hitherto. The cables used are about half
an inch in diameter, and will be laid
under the sidewalks. The main or street
cable is leaden tube containing single
insulated wire, while the branches, one
of which will be carried into each house
that employs the light, consist of three
eighths of an inch cable made up Of
seven small wires, each insulated. These
are distributed through the house to the
lamps so that each separate light can be
used at pleasure. The metre is in the
cellar, and householders pay for their
electricity as they are supposed to pay
for their gas, according to the quantity
used.

The report that "hades" is substituted
for "helP' in the revised Testament is
full of comfort for a large class of per-
sons, and Bob Ingersoll is particularly
pleased. Says this cheap philosopher:
blades is a compromise. 1t is a con-
cession to the philosophy of our day. 1t
is graceful acknowledgment to the
growing spirit of investigation that hell,
after all, is a barbaric mistake. Hades
is the death of revivals. 1t cannot be
used in song. 1t won't rhyme with any
thing with the same force that hell does.
1t is altogether more shadowy than hot.
1t is not associated with birthstone and
flame. 1t sounds somewhat indistinct,
somewhat lonesome, little desolate, but
not altogether uncomfortable. For re-
vival purposes. hades is simply useless,
and few conversions will be made in the
old way under the revised Testament.

The brutal murder by burglar of the
man whose house he had entered, in
Pennsylvania, last Wednesday night,
ought 10 go far toward educating pub
lie sentiment up to the point of demand
ing more severe punishment for the
crime of house-breaking. 1t is as clear
ly established as anything can be by the
circumstances attending it, that
when a burglar enters a house
he is prepared and intends TO
commit murder, if necessary, to carry
out the purposes of his visit, and the
law ought to be framed and enforced
accordingly. In other words, burglary
should be made capital offence.

Stanley Matthews as a member of an
association for the promotion of civil
service reform, is veritab lie curiosity.
He was prominent in the use of the civil
service for the payment Of Hayes debts
to the persons engaged in the arrange
ment and contamination of the great
fraud, if indeed his own nomination to
the Supreme Court bench is not part
of that same system of rewards for loud
smelling services. Professions of devo,
ton to civil service reform, from such
a man, are affronts to honorable reform
ers.

New Mountain House, CressOn Springs,
Pa. Opens July LIST, 1881.

On the summit of the Alleghenies, o.
200 #. above sea level, within a stones
throw of the main line of the Pennsyl-
vania Rail Road, with no fatiguing stage
or omnibus ride necessary to reach it, lie
Cresson Springs. It's accessibility, the
purity of its atmosphere and the beauty
of the mountain scenery surrounding it
combine to render it the most popular
mountain resort in the country. Twice
daily, Open Observation Cars are run be-
tween Cresson and the Logan House, AL
toona, through the matchless scenery of
the Horse Shoe Curve, Allegripus, etc.
All trains stop at Cresson. By the erec-
tion of a new and elegant hotel during
the past fall and winter, the accommoda-
tions at this charming resort have been
greatly enlarged and improved. The
entire place has undergone thorough
renovation, particular attention having
been paid to the drainage and water sup
ply, resulting in . most thorough and
comprehensive sewage system, embrac-
ing in its scope all the cottages connected
with the company. The grounds have
been graded, sodded and otherwise
beautified.

Planting Roses.

A blacksmith had in his possession,
but under mortgage, house and piece
of land. Like many others he was at
one time fond of the social glass, but was
happily induced by a friend to join the
temperance society. About three months
after, he observed his wife busily en-
ployed planting rose bushes and fruit
trees.
Mary" said he, II have owned this
cottage for five years, and I have never
seen you doing this BEFORE"
II had often thought of it before" re-
piled she, ''and yet had no heart to do
it until you gave up the drink. For l
was persuaded that should I do it, some
strangers would pluck the roses and eat
the fruit. Now, with Gods blessing,
this cot will be ours; and we and our
children may expect to enjoy the produce.
We shall pluck the roses and eat the
fruit"

A Desperate Situation.
kansas City (Mo.) Times

& Truesdale was detailed to shovel grain
from one of the bins to the chute
Through this bin ran perpendicular
dange screw elevator, which, being at
tached to the shaft by a belt, was kept
constantly in motion. By some accident
the unfortunate man slipped while near
it, and his foot being caught in the ro-
tating f1ange was drawn down the shaft
on which it works until the knee Joint
was level with the floor. Knowing that
unless something was speedily done his
body would be ground to pieces in this
sausage-machine, with a presence of mind
that was extraordinary, raised his body
until it reached the belt which turned
the fange, and by sheer strength of mus
Gle held the machinery still, thus putting
his strength against the strength of a
twenty horse engine. In this condition
with his crushed and mangled limb still
in the machine, he held out against the
engine for three-quarters of an hour,
when he was rescued by other workman,
who had come to see what was the mat
ter with the machinery. He was taken
to the Sisters Hospital, and DR.. Bigger
says he will ultimately recover the use of
the injured member. Truesdale is about
six feet high, and weighs only ITO pounds,
but is perfect giant in muscle. The
forty-fve minutes he spent holding the
machinery, he says, will always be a
horrible remembrance.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
Declaration by France and the United
States.

LONDON, July 9.-The Paris correspou-
dent says: At yesterdays sitting of the
Monetary Conference, Evarts, delegate
from the United States, read the follow
ing declaration of French and American
delegates, in the name Of their respective
Governments:
THE depreciation and great huctua
tions in the value OF silver relatively tO
gold which of late years have shown
themselves, and which continue to exist.
have been and are injurious to COM
merce and general prosperity, and the es.
tablishment and maintenance of fixed
relations Of value between silver and gold
would produce most important benefits
to the commerce of the world. q.
A convention has been entered into BY
an important group of States, by which
they should agree to open their mints to
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold, at fixed proportion of weight
between gold and silver contained in a
monetary unit of each metal and with
full legal tender faculty to money thus
issued, which would cause and maintain
the stability in the relative value of the
two metals suitable to the interests and
requirements of the commerce of the
world.
Any rate now or of late in use by any
commercial national il adopted by such
an important group of States could be
maintained but the adoption of 1871 of
silver to one of gold would accomplish
the principal object with less disturbance
in monetary systems to be elected by il
than any other ratio. Without consider.
ing the effect which might be produced
towards the desired object by the lesser
combination of States, combination
which should include England, France,
Germany and the United States, with the
concurrence of other States both in
Europe and all the American Continent,
which this combination would insure,
would be adequate to produce and main
tain throughout the commercial world
the relation between metals that such
combination should adopt.
