Some idea of the magnitude of the
preparations already made for the Column
bian Exposition which is to be held at
Chicago next year, may be gathered from
the figures compiled by the exposition
authorities for the congressional COM
mittee that is investigating the under
taking with view to reporting on the
S5,000,000 appropriation bill. To COM
plete the exposition and conduct it to its
close will require of the directory total
expenditure of $22, 246, 4o3. Up to March
l the total expenditure was $780, 1884.
The liabilities under contracts lalready
made amount to 81, 692, 724. The receipts
have been SO, 252, 404, and the amount due
from stock subscriptions and city bonds
is $5,713.051. The National Commission
has expended s1s4,522, and estimates
thai 81. 067, 9S3 more is needed including
$4,000 for awards. The lady managers
have spent s57,S11. and they think that
they will require s227,57 more up to the
close of the fair.

Mr.. E. c. Swett's programme as de-
veloped in his Biddeford speech aims at
making Maine not SO much the summer
play ground of the United States as the
summer beer garden. A good many of
Mr.. Swett's rural Democratic friends are
likely to object very strenuously to that
sort of thing. The city Democracy which
is generally for free rum and plenty of it
are just now having their innings. But
the tramp of cowhide boots is certain to
be heard later, and it won't keep step
to free rum music.

The Rev. E. Walpole Warren tells the
New York World--or rather the World
says he does-that
have refrained from taking out papers as a
citizen of New York because the city is so
wicked and corrupt that would not wish to
be identified with it as voter. Until it has rid
itself of an administration that is vile from top
to bottom will remain an alien. The entire
municipal machine, l believe, from Mayor
Grant down, is absolutely corrupt.
1t would be interesting to know how
the Rev. Mr.. Warren expects the condi-
ton of New York ever to become any
better. If all the good men of New York
should follow his example it is evident
that not only would New York not be-
come any better, but grow infinitely
worse. The only possible way of getting
good government in this country is for
the men who want good government to
vote for. men who are able and willing to
give it to them. If all the good men are
going to stay away from the polls of
course the corrupt of the community will
work their sweet will. Mr.. Warren, if
he has said what is attributed to him,
has been INDUCING in some very hurt
full and very silly talk.

The demand for the closing of the
Worlds Fair on Sunday seems to be gen.
orally seconded outside of Chicago where
public sentiment is divided. The Gin
cinnati Gazette which is published in a
city where there would be likely to be a
strong demand for keeping the fair open
on Sunday thinks that during the Fair
visitors to Chicago would likely be we'll
satisfied, did they stay over Sunday, to
have a quiet day of it, going to the
churches to hear good sermons and
music, and to other points of attraction.
1t can not be denied that, generally speak
ing, the people of this country have a
great respect for Sunday, and for the
rules regarding its observance which
Christianity enjoins. We are liberal
people, and yet are not Sready to throw
down the bars and allow despisers of the
old faiths to trample upon our ideas of
the preservation of one day in seven as a
day of quiet and rest.

The New York legislature is close to

Congressman Oates of Alabama thinks
Democratic sentiment in his state is in
favor of dropping both Cleveland and
Hill and taking new man on whom all

where Most Weeds Came From,

Most of our weeds, like much of
our vermin, have come to us from
beyond the sea. Just how they emf
CRATE in every case will never be
known. Some came as legitimate
freight, butmany were 'stowaways;" ("
some entered from border lands upon
the wings of the wind, on river bo-
SONS, in the stomachs of migrating
birds, clinging to hairs of passing
animals and hundred other ways
besides by man himself. Into the
New England soil and that south
along the Atlantic seaboard the
weeds first took root.
Also the native plants, with a
strong weedy nature, developed into
pests of the farm and garden. Many
of the native weeds are shy and
harmless in comparison with the per
sistent and pugnacious that have
like vagabonds emigrated to our
shores. Professor Byron d. Halsted
in Popular Science Monthly.

Colorado When the shifts or gangs
of men change at night for the

of Butte is as crowded as Broadway

Our stupendous Water System.

The traveller embarking upon a
steam boat can sail from Pittsburg,
4,300 miles, to Fort Benton, Mon,
and from Minneapolis, 1900 miles,
to Port Eads, on the Gulf of Mexico.
Should he choose to extend bis voy-
age to the head of navigation upon
its forty-fve navigable tributaries
his outward journey would exceed
16, 600 miles, through twenty three
states and territories of the Union.
This stupendous water system is
equivalent to land locked harbor
an estuary, or an arm of the sea,
penetrating into the North American
continent farther than from New
York to Liverpool, with coast line
of $4,000 miles, having hundreds of
populous towns and cities and in
Vulnerable ports and havens from
which the agricultural and manu-.
factured products of One-third of the
arabic surface of the United States
can be shipped to all parts of the
globe.
The territory which it drains is
considerably larger than central Eu-
rope.-John j. Ingalls, in Lippincott's.

Wash and boil and steam and stew:
Press TO pulp the motley crew."
Raindrops patter, sunheams glance,
Still they sing H. they dangling dance;
Buckets and boxes buttons and bags!
All of them made out of RAGS old ragsl
Please believe US, tits our due.

Househ old Hints,

1t will be found advantageous to
select a good supply of pet names at
the threshold of married life. The
following suggestions, based upon
the inexorable logic of history, may
be found of value:
Tootsey-Most properly applied to
man of forty-five with one eye a
large red nose and stiff black whis
kers.
Birdie-Not to be tolerated unless
the bride weighs over $50 pounds
and has false teeth.
Girlie-Refers exclusively to the
fourth or fifth time bride of thirty
eight summers and upward.
Sweetness--A very choice epithet
applicable to almost anybody whom
the cold world would regard as any
thing but sweet.
Owniest Own-Finds great favor
with husbands who have married a
fortune. Detroit Tribune.
