A ALAUDABLE BOSTON NOTION.

| A AAAOOABLE HUSTON NOTION,
 Last year some of the good people of Bos-
 ton wanted to have Worlds Fair held in
 that city in 1885, and they tried to give the
 scheme start. But it would not go An | other plan for fair in Boston has been
 formed which now seems to have agoodpros
 pect of success. The idea is to hold For | eign Exhibition, to which all countries ex- cept the United States shall be invited to | contribute.
 In every Worlds Fair that has ever been
 held ven-eighths of the space, seven eighths
 of the expense and seven-sighths of the risk
 were for home exhibits, and the foreigners. | from whose showings the teaching was really
 to come, were occupants of only one eighth l of the space. Out of this grew the idea that an exhibition which should be confined to
 that eighth would accomplish the chief pur- 1 pose In view, and that the exhibition of
 American arts, products and manufactures zations already in existence which hold them
 at regular intervals. In the Fall of the year
 the New England Manufacturers and Me-
 chanics' Institute, which has already held
 two highly successful and interesting exhibi
 tions, is to hold another, preparations for
 which have been in active progress from the day that the exhibition of 1882 closed. The indications are that, as representative American exhibition, the Institute Fair of 1883 will surpass anything held since the Centennial What, it is asked, is more ap- propriate than to hold, at the same time, in the neighboring building of the Massachu- setts Charitable Mechanic Association, an exhibition in foreign arts, products and manufactures, thus affording an opportunity to all visitors to compare foreign industries with our own
 Acting upon this idea 8 number of promi- nent gentlemen of Massachusetts have orga- nized themselves into corporation and are hard at work preparing for the proposed fair. The building Covering seven acres) of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Asso- citation has been secured agents have been appointed to visit all the principal industrial centers in Europe and in Asia, and B commit l tee is in Washington arranging for such as- sistance as our consuls and consular agents l all over the world can render. One agent, l now at work in London, reports that he 1 could easily fill the whole building with Eng fish exhibits alone. MT. James Jackson Jar | yes promises a complete and interesting ex- hibition of Italian industry and art. It is | expected that the wonderful exhibitions | furnished by China and Japan for the Mel bourne, Australia, Worlds Fair, will be sent complete to Boston. And valuable contribu- lions are expected from the East Indies, Persia and Turkey, as we'll as from all the European nations.
 It is to be hoped that the plan above out lined will be successfully carried out Such an exhibition would be well worth the at- tention of the general public, and would have stimulating effect upon the industries of this county.

 No sketch of Vanderbilt's career is at all complete that does not go back to the time, somewhere about 1910, when old Cornelius Vanderbilt ferried people across from New York to Staten Island at IS cents apiece, and thus began the business of carrying freight and passengers by land and by sea, which, at the time of his death, had paid him some $70, GOO, GOO. But the history of the elder Vanderbilt has been written so often, and that of his son is so much more important, from money point of view, that I will skip his affairs and come at once to his famous heir. Old Cornelius Vanderbilt first married, in 1913, Miss Sophia Johnson, the daughter of neighbor living near his fathers farm on Staten Island she bore him thirteen chil- dren, of whom William H. is the third, but the eldest of those who have come to manhood. He was born in New Brunswick, N. J., on the 8th of May, 1891, and is there fore at present in his 62d year. His father was already doing good business when it was time to send William to school, and was thought to be quite rich, having Ssome $30,- 900, and having already built his first steam boat, the Caroline, which finally went over Mag ara Falls. So William was sent to school to the Columbia College grammar school, and in 1888 he entered the office of Dean < Robin son, brokers, in Wall street, and began to study the art of making millions out of noth-

Thre w Her Diamonds Into the Fire.

A Carlisle man and his wife remained over night at a hotel in Harrisburg recently. Before retiring the lady wrapped her dia- mond earrings, valued at $1,OOO in tissue paper and placed them on the bureau. Next morning, after completing her toilet, she was arranging things on the bureau, and, threw it into the open grate As she did so it flashed through her mind that her dia- monds were wrapped in the paper, and she made grab for it as the blaze caught and consumed it. One of the ear rings was pulled out with the blazing paper, but the other remained in the midst of the red-hot coals. The lady. forgetting her pain, picked the jewel from the fire with her fingers burning them considerably. The diamonds were all right, but their gold setting was very much tarnished.

The trial of the suit brought by Theodore
 restrain Joseph G. Lennon from producing Gounod's Redemption" is likely to be in teresting An answer has been filed by Mir. Lennon setting forth the grounds of the de-
 fence relied upon by him. He says that the
 oratorio was first publicly performed in
 August, 1882, at Birmingham, England, and
 that, as required by the copyright laws of
 Great Britain, copy of the oratorio was de-
 Ivered to the British Museum at London, and
 was there open for the inspection of the pub
 lie. He claims that there was thus con- structive publication of the oratorio under the copyright laws of Great Britain by the performance at Birmingham, and also pub
 ication at common law by the delivery to the British Museum, the plaintiff having, as aI- legged, knowledge of such publication. The defendant further answers that he is in- formed that Gounod sold the musical work and all it's parts to certain persons in Lon don, who became the proprietors of the ora- torio, who made a publication of the same and for 8 valuable consideration delivered copies to the plaintiff and others that the oratorio has been published in condensed form and has been sold in Boston by Oliver Ditson $ Co.,, and the defendant bought copy in November fast, and that directions for the orchestral performance were pub ished, sufficient to enable the reproduction of the oratorio of Gounod and the defendant was advised that he had 8 right to use what has been thus published, because the book and it's contents are public and common property in this country. The defendant also denies that the words 'tGounod's Re- demption" are understood as indicating only the musical work as described by the plain tiff, and alleges that they signify to the pub lie the music and words as contained in sthe book which has been published. The defend ant also denies that he procured any one to attend a public performance, and that at the plaintiffs orchestra in New York he took notes of the orchestral accompaniment played from the plaintiffs private copy, as alleged in the bill, and he denies that he in- tends to any notes thus made.

It is now said that Arabi Pasha, the leader of the recent insurrection in Egypt, was a prominent member of & Masonic association and that his Masonic affiliations account for much that was obscure in his conduct, as, for example, the abrupt cessation of resist ance after the fight at Tel-el-Kebir. It is also said to be due to Masonic influence that the vindictive intentions of the Khedive's party were frustrated, and that Arabi and his chief coadjutors were treated with such sur prising and manifestly reluctant lenity by the native tribunals, the death penalty being commuted to sojourn iu the pleasant island of Ceylon. This is interesting, if true.

Governor Butler has introduced a new system of receiving visitors at the Massachu- setts State House. His latest predecessor in the Executive office had all callers shown into large room, where they sat in rows on benches, and the Governor passed rapidly along the lines, disposing of them as quickly as possible. It WAS thought that in this way each person could be made to see that the Governors time was valuable, and would therefore excuse his brevity. But Butler has the kuack of getting at the pith of visi- tors errand quickly and of shortening ths interview without giving offense. Callere hand their cards to his messenger, and near ly everybody is shown in without much de- lay to the private ofice where he can talk without other auditors.

all over the land, and there is a disposition apparent in many places to make hotels safer. Thus in Indiana bill is to be intro duced in the Legislature to compel hotel pro prietors to provide rope, properly fastened, in each room, for the use of the occupants as means of escape. At large hotel in Min neapolis, very simple measure, calculated to add to the safety of guests in case any fire occurs in the building, has been adopted This consists of directions printed in large type, which have been posted at different points in all railways. on each floor, with hands pointing to each of the four stairways leading to the lower floor of the hotel With the aid of these p1acards any stranger or guest stopping at the house can readily as- certain the location of each of the exits Piacards also instruct guests on the upper floors as to the safest course to pursue in case escape by the main stairways on the lower floors is not feasible. These simple precautions ought to be taken by the propri- etor of every large hotel in the country.
 MT. Charles Theodore Russell, jr., Bos- ton lawyer, examines Governor ButIer's rec
 
 a legal point of view, and demonstrates their worthlessness. The Governors suggestions are that poll taxes be paid wholly to the cities or towns, and that all persons assessed merely such poll tax shall be declared by law exempted from State or county taxation or that nominal poll tax be laid for-State purposes, and that the service of voting be accepted as payment of such tax. As to the first suggestion, Mir. Russell argues that the change proposed would make the tax qualii- cation more rather than less onerous upon poll-tax payers. The change, moreover, would make an invidious distinction between classes of voters, which is the very thing the Governor is solicitous to avoid; not only would it throw all State and county burdens upon property alone, but it would allow the poll-tax payer to vote upon proof of mere assessment, while man assessed on proper ty must prove the payment of the tax. Be- yend this, Mir. Russell contends that per- sons assessed a poll-tax by the city or town could not be exempted from taxation within the Constitution.

The Dawson (GaJ Journal has reporter who is inspired by 8 fire. Here is part of one of his lurid efforts: Before the fire en- zine had reached the scene, the flames were wildly tossing their devouring tongues far out and above the crown of the grooming building. It was too late. His satanic ma- iesty had whipped his impetuous team into a pace at once too furious and too daring to be met and bridled, the fiery glare of the flames had lit up the grounds for hundreds of yards around, and while the great crowd stood in wondering awe, as the seething fur mace of fire and flames lashed and dashed about in it's roaring fury. the sudden crash of the dismembered roof, as it went splitting and hurling it's way to the ground, told in unmistakable terms that the work of destruc- tion was complete. In few brief moments more nothing was left to mark the site of T. W. Turner's store. Loss, $1, ,500.

Mir. B. c. Mitchell, who bought the main exposition building at Philadelphia for $97,- 900, made 'tgood thing'' out of his pur- chase. The cost of removing the huge struc- ture and other expenses amounted to about $100,OO0, and the materials of which it was built have been sold for about $500, 900, leaving 8 profit of $500, 900 to be divided among MT. Mitchell and the five other gen. tlemen whom he associated with himself in the enterprise. At the time of his purchase MT. Mitchell was frank enough to say that he fully expected to make large sum of money by it, that he was prepared to pay consider ably more for the building than the price at which it was knocked down to him, and that he was astonished that Mr. Richard Dobbins, who built it, and was as well acquainted with it's value as himself, should have let such 8 pretty plum slip through his fingers.
