A New York man has won the prize for
the best design for the diplomas to be
given the successful exhibitors at the
worlds fair. The accepted d asign repre-
sents an arch, through the upper opening
of which can be seen a bird's-eye view Of
the exposition grounds. On one side is
Columbia in a reclining position resting
against buffalos head and holding forth
her hand to three young Americans. who
represent the white, colored and Indian
children of the land. The opening in the
lower arch is blank and is intended for
the name, etc, of the exhibitor to whom
awarded. Below the base of the arch is a
caracol, at the helm of which stands
Columbus. The oarsmen are figures rep
resenting Europe, Asia, Africa and South
America. From the bow the figure of
fame rises, holding in her hand a laurel
wreath. The description is hardly ade-
quate to a clear comprehension of the
beauties of the design. However pic
torial representations of it will shortly
appear in the advertising columns Of the
papers, in connection with mention of
baking powders, liver pills, etc.

Last Tuesday the SAVANNAH MORNING
NEWS completed the twentyhfth year during
which it has been under the control Of Col j.
H Estill. In an editorial taking notice Of the
occasion the MORNING NEWS very properly
claims for itself much of the credit for the
great advance made by the city in which it is
published during those years. No paper in
any city has been more faithful to its duties
to its local public than the MORNING NEWS.
No good cause has gone without Its support,
and often its suggestions and insistance have
caused changes and reforms that have great
ly benefited the city. The outside public
has always seen. in the MORNING NEWS a
clean, dignihed and enterprising paper, con
servatiye in its editorial expressions of opin-
ion, but behind none In collecting the news of
the day, Col. Estill and the MORNING NEWS
deserve the success they have won and the
esteem in which they are so generally held.

Uruguay entertains an original idea of
reciprocity in trade. Not long ago Brazil
made requisitlou upon Uruguay for the
surrender of several forgers of bank notes
who had escaped from Rio and taken
refuge in her territory. The Uruguay
ans, however, were not disposed to give
up something for nothing They replied
to the Brazilians that if their government
would reduce the customs duties on GER
tain Uruguayan products they would be
happy TO surrender the forgers, as a quid
pro quo. The Chileans have wrongfully
been called the yankees of South Amer
ica;" that distinction is undoubtedly due
to the Uruguayaus.
