WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

"Marshalps gold nugget" will be ex- hibited at the Worlds Fair by California, and it is safe to say that thousands will consider it one of the most interesting of the innumerable objects which will be displayed at the great exposition. This is the identical nugget which Marshall picked up in the American River, Febru- ary 16th, 1849, when selecting a site for Sutter's mill, and which constituted the first discovery of gold in California. The nugget is about the size of 8 lima bean, and, on account af its associations and the almost incalculable wealth and devel- opement which have resulted from it's finding, is regarded as an almost priceless treasure.
 The French commission informs the department of horticulture of the Worlds Fair that M. Andre, prominently the greatest landscape gardner of Europe, will take charge of the decoration of the grounds around the woman's building and that part of the horticultural grounds which will be assigned to the French ex- hibit The French florists are not only willing but anxious to furnish all the plants for this exhibit.
 The New York Central railway will strikingly illustrate the improvements that have been made in railway transpor- tation by showing @ complete vestibule train, and alongside of it reproduction of the first train of cars used in this coun. try, the cars of which resembled old fash. toned stage coaches.

of thed days exercises uniform in all To- calities, will give the national observance an important duty. This program is promised for general publication through the press the first week in September. Its leading provisions are as follows:
 The schools everywhere are to assem- ble at the usual hour on the morning of Oct. 21. A detail of veterans is expected to arrive soon after, and all will repair to the yard. The ceremony will begin with reading of the proclamation. Then the flag will be raised by the veterans, and saluted by all the pupils in brief exer- else, terminating in the song My Coun- try 'tis of Thee" After divine acknowl- edgements, the Song of Columbus Day, an original hymn for the occasion, and set to the old tune of "Lyons," will be sung by all. Following, will be decla- nation of the Address for Columbus Day, and reading of the Ode for Columbus Day, both original productions for the oc- casion.
 Opportunity will then be given for what ever additional features local enterprise may provide; and the morning observ- ance will end with short addresses by cit izens, and national songs.
 For the afternoon @ public school re- view is suggested or, if there is a civic parade, it is urged that the schools, es- corted by the veterans, be made the prom inent feature. In the mass meeting of citizens, with which many places will con- clnde the day. it is proposed that among the speeches ample recognition be given to the American system of free, universal education as a source of American pro- gress and the hope of the future.
 The date, the first of September, for the publication of this program is fortu- nate, for it falls at the opening of the term of the majority of the American schools, when teachers and pupils are in the mood for an eager and spirited under taking of the celebration.
 October 21st is less than two months distant, but all of this time may be used to excellent advantage in preparing for the celebration. In undertakings of this character unavoidable delays are apt to occur. The schools which begin immedi- ately on the work which must be done to make the celebration a credit to them selves and their town, will escape the an- moving situations likely to arise if every thing is left until the eleventh hour.

THE PEOPLE ON COLUMBUS DAY

It seems settled that the popular ob- servance of Columbus day, Oct. 21, is likely to be the most general of any of the centennials through which we have passed. There is no doubt that the Amer ican people, as a whole, have become thoroughly interested in the significance of this Tooth anniversary.
 One strong reason for this wide interest is the public school leadership of the na- tional celebration. AS soon as this school leadership was proposed, the press of the country began to commend the idea; it was received favorably by superintend- ents of education, teachers and thought full citizens generally.
 So it came about that the idea proved acceptable to everybody. Then it was further promoted by the official recogni- tions it received. The National Educa- tional Association adopted it, and ap- pointed all the state superintendents a committee to carry it out; and special committee with headquarters at the AouOh SOlupdIlOH Oulco, DOSJOH, UC push the movement and to prepare uni. form official program for use in every To. cality. Commander-in-C Chief Palmer, oi the grand army, saw the opportunity the plan offered, and issued general orders that all the G. A. R. posts in the country link themselves with the schools in 6 grand patriotic, bipartisan demonstra tion on Columbus day,-assisting the schools to raise and salute the flag, ant escorting them in the review.
 Congress finally recognized the move ment by directing the president to pro claim, Oct. 21 holiday to be observed by suitable exercises in the schools. Th' proclamation recently issued by the presi dent gave emphatic accent to the schoo idea, and recommended that the people everywhere make it the center of the To cal observances. l The official program, by making certain

The differing opinions of those who have knowledge are far less to be feared than the dreary unanimity of ignorance. The period of inquiry is always period of controversy. The final outcome of controversy is wisdom.
 A persons mind can be set just as 0 switch is set for traiE turning it this way or that. The total abstinence pledge is nothing more nor less than the setting of the switch of the mind so that the train of habit will run smoothly along the line of self-control.

"There is nothing right asked by labor that can be divorced from the principle of prohibition"
 John G. Woolley said in his great speech before the Christian Endeavor so- ciety: "Too long we have heard and preached and lived dwarfish and a little gospel under stained glass, in artificial heat, making nosegays of personal expe- rience. Too long we have kept the face of Jesus Christ, like an old ambrotype in limp morocco covers, to ornament withal our spiritual center tables; too long en- ployed the church as an ambulance, and ourselves for 'stretcher' service, digging graves and bearing off the dead, while at the cradle of our citizenship, License, the courtesan, sits and rocks and sings her nameiess lullaby. Ask the motherhood of New York where it wants protection. It will answer: We want it where our sons are.' Where are the sons of New York? In the saloons. The same con- gross that refuses even to consider the ravages of the liquor traffic appropriates one hundred thousand dollars year to investigate hog cholera. One hundred thousand dollars outlay to save swine from infection; one hundred million in come to spread contagion in the way of boys. Gospel temperance is apoplectic with idle sentiment. I have seen the sa- loon jackals come yelping all along the ways to shred the fallen bodies, to shred the souls and bodies of men, and even while watched their frantic flight and observed them on their way, have seen the majestic lion of the law leap from his marble lair in the capitol and fell them with a blow of lethal velvet. It has hap pened many time in this city of New York that a man has lain aside the linen apron of the bar for the ermine of the bench. The men who simply 'quit,' be- gin again restrictive permission perpetu- ates the saloon piracy and after one hundred years of negative reform the sa- loon is going to enter the twentieth cen- tury in triumph, dragging the church chained to it's chariot wheels"
