The centennial celebration in New York
didn't make the hotel keepers of that city
happy. Almost without exception they say
They expected to have their houses crowded
for at least two weeks, but the crowd did
not remain morr than three days.
The reason they lost N oney is that there
was very considerable falling off in their
regular business for two weeks before the
celebration, and there has been a falling of
IN it since the celebration came to an end.
Thousands Of people who woull have Wis
tied New YORK before the cen;en 7ial waited
for the low centennial rates of transporta-
ton, and other thousands took advantage
of those rates, and visited the metropolis
sooner than they otherwise would have
done. The hotel men argue, therefore, that
if there had been no celebration they would
be better fl financially.
Great as the crowd in New York was
there YVES no time whom a room could
not have been obtained at any one of the
leading hotels. Nearly all the hotel men
purchased cots, and in other ways spent
money in anticipation of a big demand for
accommodations. In some cases the cots
were needle /, but not in all. In fact the
hotel men think they could have done with
out cots at all
The greater part of ths strangers was
from the neighboring towns and villages.
They came into the city In the morning
and left it ia the evening. They brought
their food supply with them, in baskets,
and hence thsy did not benefit ths restaur-
ant keepers to any great exteuk
As an illu tration Of tbs fact that the
supply Of accommodations exceeded 9
demand for them, it is stated that the COM
mittee on comfort had a list of private
houses at which 81, ,000 persons could be ac-
commodated with beds. Only about 900
persons applied to this committee. This
shows that nobody had to sleep in the
streets for want of bed
AS matter of fact the crowd that is ex-
pected on any great occasion is generally
overestimated. The New York newspapers
talked SO continuously about the big crowd
centennial celebration, and called attention
SO often to the probability that thousands
perhaps would be unable to obtain shelter,
that many were influenced to remain away
from the city during the celebration. The
crowd would have been larger probably If
the newspapers had said less at was cal
culated to alarm many of those who had
| about made up their minds to witness the
| celebration cerem onies.

The centenary celebration at Versailles,
France, on Sunday does not appear from
our dispatches to have been conducted upon
q very grand scale. Praaps the ACCOUNTS
OF it which we have received do not do
justice to it, and, besides, it seems less i'm
posing because we compare it with our CEN
tenllal celebra ion of last week.
There as a very ma ked difference in
the two celebrations however. In New
York tie centennial of the beginning of
constitutional COVER ment was celeb ated.
In Versailles the ce tennisl of the begin
ming of a revolution that finally left France
a republic wa celebrated.
1t was on May 5. 1859, thai the states
general of France conve ed wi h the con-
sent of the king, Louis XVI France was
in financial troubles, and the Ere ch minis
ter # finance saw no other way to save the
country from bankruptcy than through
the agency Of the sates-generaL He
wanted money, but he knew, doubtless,
that before he got it some concessions would
have to be made to the people The king
was prepared to correct so ne of the abuses
of which there were loud complaints, but no
thought entered mis- mi I'D that in converting
the ates- general the first step had been
taken toward constitutional government
in France.
NJ member of that assembly that con-
vened in Versailles 100 years ago last Sun
day thought Of precipita.ing a revolution.
or of ridding France of monarchia form
Of government. The most radical Of that
body thought only of demanding certain
reforms. The people were not hostile to the
monarchy, nor we're the masses of them
sufficiently informed about what bad taken
place in this country to desire to follow in
our footsteps. Tney had grievances, how
ever, and there is no doubt that they were
determined to have the evils of which they
complained remsdied.
The states-general became transformed
into constitution maxi & assembly and
France was given a con ,titution. What
followed the adoption of the constitution is
familiar to students of hist Try. France,
though republic now, is not 50 firmly a l.
chored to republican principles as to be in
no danger of the one man power again.
But whether France remains a republic
or not, the convening of the states neral
century ago, marked the being of a
brighter and better era for the masses, not
only in France, but in nearly all of con-
tinental Europe. The celebration of the
centenary of that event, therefore, meant a
great deal

Sewing on Buttons.
From. the YOUTHS Communion.

From the Youths COMPANION.
When get bright idea, always want to
pass it along, said lady, as she sat watching
young girl sewing. DO your buttons ever
com off, Lenaf"
Ever. They're always doing it. They are
ironed off, washed off, and pulled of, until I
despair. ! seem to shed buttons at every step -
Make use Of these two hints when you are
sewing them on, then, and see if they make
any difference. When you begin, before you
lay the button on the cloth. put the thre /
through, so that the knot will be on the tight
side, Tnat leaves it under the button, aud pre-
vents il from being worn or ironed away, and
thus beginning the locsening process.
Then, before you begin sewing, lay a large
pin across the BUTTON so that all your threads
will go over the pin. After you have finished
filing the holes with thread, draw out the pin
and wi your thread round aud round beneath
the button. That makes compact STEM to
sustain the possible pulling and wear OF the
buttonhole."
ut is no exaggeration to say that my buttons
never come off. and I'm sure yours won't, if
you use my method OF sewing

Gen. Sherman has had uis feelings hurt
because, as he alleges, a South Carolina
company marched in the centennial pro-
cessio in New York last wee without the
stars aad stripes. He Us that was the
olly incident that marred the occasion,
and he intimates tina: tne comp any should
have been turned out of the parade. He
says the President called his attention to
the absence of the flag, and that neither he
nor the P esident returned the salute of
the company, as they were not saluting in
dividuals, but the flag South Carroll ia
took an active part il the war in whicl
Washington was the comm ,nding spirit,
and if it is true, as Ge Sherman says,
that com 7any from that sta.e neglected
last week to provide itself with a United
States flag in addition to its own colors,
the matter is regretable; but it is to be sup
posed that South Carolina will get al ing
very pleasantly, even though Gen. Sher-
man refused to return the salute of one Of
her companies.

Where the white pond lilies teeter.
And went to fishing like quaint old Ike.

But the fish were cunning and wouldn't rise.
And the batter alone was baited.
So when the time for departure came.

The Paris exposition was opened Yester.
day, although it is far from being in good
shape. Exp sitions, however, are seldom
prepared for the opening when the opening
day arrives.
1t was the purpose of the French govern
ment to have grand opening, but other
nations wou not lend it any assistance in
that direction. 1t wa, therefore, compelled
to rely wholly upon itself for tie Opening
ceremonies, and it was decided to make
them a' simple as possible. There was not
much show or parade.
The exposition is reported to be mag
nifcent one. No European nation is taking
any part in it officially, but most all of
Europe has contributed to it in an unofficial
way. OF course the United States is rep
resented in it, and very we'll represented.
1t has more space allotted than any other
country except England, and its space is
about all ia en- up WITH articles which are
certain to attract attention, and direct capi-
al and immigration to this country. Its
exhibit will surpass, in some respects, that
of any other nation. In agricultural i'm
plements and machinery and electrical in
ventions it i'll easily stand first, and III
manufactures it will not shun comparison.
The French are making extraordinary
exertions TO insure the expositio $ success.
Wien Germany was invited to take part in
it Bismarck replied that expostions were
played out, and that Germany had some
thing much more important TO attend to-
Of course an answer like that nettled the
French, and they seem determined to make
it appear that in the esti nation of the civil
lied world the exposition IS about as impor-
tant as anything that Germany is likely to
have on ha d.
