The Great Centennial Success.
The Philadelphia Saturday Eiening
Post, in an article with reference to the
Centennial Exhibition now closed, says:
The country may congratulate itself that
it has been most completely successful as
a great achievement, as a fitting commem
oration of the event it- celebrated, and as
a source of benificent influences which
will be lasting.
Simply as a great achievement it takes
its place as the greatest victory of peace
on record. In the face of apathy to be
awakened, local jealousies to be overcome,
and the most dreary financial dullness,
the managers by their magnetic enthusi
asm, resistless executive power and skill
in the use of means, achieved a triumph
of which the nation is proud, and whose
glory makes their names illustrious.
They are already crowned with the praises
and the thanks of the people, and those
who at first opposed, sneered or doubted,
now heartily join in awarding the enco
miums they deserve.
Of the greatness of the exhibition in
the number and excellence of the articles
contributed from the whole world, the
1 . 1 - . m
exnausuve aescnptions we nave given
during its progress make it unnecessary
to speak. The most critical have been
silenced into admiration. One feature
deserves special mention. The American
people have been here to see the show,
and have thus put themselves on exhibi
tion There has been no study so inter
esting as the crowds irom every section
of the land who have thronged the
grounds. In this regard it is a success
which every American may speak proud
ly. Good order, &obrietv, ood nature
and intelligent observation were cliarac
teristicB noticeable by the most casual
observer. The caterers to vice who
thronged to thi3 city at the opening of
the exhibition, expecting a rich harvest
from the assembled crowds, soon fouud
their mistake, and most of them retired
in disgust. It has been a frequent re
mark of visitors upon the most crowded
davs that not an intoxicated person was
Been and scarcely a profane word heard
on the "rounds, and observant foreigners
bear cheerful witness to the general good
order, intelligence amd couriesv.
The Exposition will leave many lasting
and most valuable impressions upon the
thought and life of coming years. It has
quickened every form of industry, by
opening new subjects for investigation and
invention, imparting information to in
ventors and manufacturers which would
otherwise have required years of travel,
observation and study; not merely to our
own workers, but to the thousands from
other lands who have been attracted to
the focus where was shown what the
world is doing. New outlets of trade
have been opened, and new industries
will spring up. It is as though ten years
had been lived in one, and subsequent
development in many directions will be
in equal ratio.
Narrow-minded people have been
broadened. Those whose limited obser
vation of their own surroundings had
fixed the guage of their opinions, have
discovered that the world is wide and
contains enough which they had never
dreamed of to shame littleness and beget
proper humility. Every visitor has car
ried away thought-pictures which will in
terest, instruct and benefit him for life.
The brotherhood of man has had more
marked recognition than ever before.
"What other nations have done compels
each to acknowledge the need it has of
the other, increases respect and will add
to the consideration in which others will
be held. The universal conference on in
dustrial subjects, and the general inter
change of courtesies will do much to es
tablish a community of thought through
out the world, form a world-wide public
opinion and add its influence to bringing
the nations to settlement ot difficulties
by arbitration or international congresses,
and thus long lines of pavement toward
the millennium will have been laid.
Much has been done to awaken the
country from the financial prostration
which was becoming chronic. There has
been something besides dull times to dis
cuss, and for a little season the theme has
been almost forgotten. The change has
been so agreeable that there will be no
haste to return to its oppressive monot
ony. As with the hypocondriac, our
hopes and confidence reviving, health will
more easily return. The amount of
money actually put into active circulation
to meet the demands of the occasion is
no insignificant item toward making bet
ter times, footing up as it does many
millions.
Take it all in all, there is abundant
cause of congratulation that this grand
enterprise has been carried forward and
terminated so auspiciously, and we take
it as an omen that future and more glori
ous Centennials are in store for those who
shall be here to see them.
An arduous and dangerous journey
from India to England bus been accom
plished by Dr. "Waters, of the Bombay
army, who obtained three months' leave
of absence, and determined to vary tlie
usual course of travel by a journey across
Persia, Russia and the continent. Start
ing from Bushire, he rode through Persia
on horseback, a distance ot one thousand
miles, in fourteen days, averaging seventy
miles per day, notwithstanding the
wretched condition of the roads. One
day he rode 150 miles, to make up for lost
time. Arriving at the Caspian, he took
boat to Baku, thence to Astrakhan, and
from that point to Czaritzen on the Volga,
where he took tram to Warsaw, and ac
compiisneu nis journey to jMigiaua via
Berlin and Calais. After a month's so
journ in England he returned to his post
by a route no less novel. He went to
Damascus by way of Alexandria and
Bey rout, and thence struck directly across
tue great Syrian JUesert to liagdad,
journey that has only been attempted by
two previous European travelers. From
Bagdad his return to Bushire was easy of
accomplishment, the completion of the
journey within the limited time at hi
disposal required skillful horsemanship,
great endurance and undaunted courage.
The expense incurred was much less than
that ot the ordinary sea voyage.
3Icttai.lt Deceived and Disappoint
ed. A romance at Leavenworth, Kansas,
has come to an untimely end. A veteran
of seventy-five contrived in some manner
to open a correspondence with a lady in
another State, aged fifty-four. Each con
cealed their true age from the other, and
ere many letters had passed betweeu them
they became engaged to be married, and
the lady, having settled her affairs at
home and had the usual amount of sew
ing done, went to Leavenworth to meet
her atfiauced, who had in the meantime
taken out a marriage license. "When they
met there was mutual disappointment.

Girl.
Mr. Mansfield was a well-to-do farmer.
He owned a good farm of one hundred
and sixty acres, free from debt, and the
;iome was very precious to him, for he
lad inherited it from his father, who
was born and had died there; and Ezra
fully purposed to do the same. He had
but oue son, who was the youngest child
of the family, there being eight bright
active gins, who had arrived in rapid suc
cession, fur the first seventeen years, and
L,zra Jlanstield and Lis wite never mur
mured, as, at each new arrival, their
hopes were disappointed; but when at
last a little boy came to bless their home,
their delight could hardly find expres
sion. The sisters, of course, almost
worshipped the little fellow, and he was
watched and petted by the whole family;
and was in
imminent danger of being
spoiled by them all
In an unlucky hour, Mr. Mansfield lent
his name as security for a neighbor, and
as he had done the same favor for several
times with perfect safety, he had not the
most remote idea that he would ever be
called upon or troubled by it. Several
years had passed, and the matter had
slipped from his mind; when oue day,
when his little boy was hardly three years
old, he was astounded by the tidings that
Murray had failed, and that his property
would not begin to cover the amount of
his debts. The news was quickly fol
lowed by a legal notification that he was
holden, by virtue of. his tignature, for
the sum of live thousand dollars, in pay
ment of sundry notes, given at divers
times.
Ezra Mansfield was thunder struck !
He had no idea that he had ever signed
for such an amount, aud Murray had
oiten told him that he had taken up
the papers he had endorsed, r ive thou
sand dollars was the full value of his
farm. He could not give it up. llisheritae
that he had fondly hoped to leave uneu
cumbered to his boy! But Murray was
gone to parts unknown, and the papers
were left for him to pay. Other of his
townsmen were lurched as well as him
self, and it was a general panic. With a
sad heart he at last broke the tidings to
his family. - The four eldest girls could
realize the situation; the five other chil
dieu could not understand anything, only
that their parents were in trouble. A
council was held.
"I could raise the money by mortgag
ing the farm, crops and stock, but J
could never redeem it."
"Perhaps you can; we are old enough
to help you," said Jennie, the secomi
daughter, who was seventeen years old
"This farm must be saved for Eddie.'
"Let us try to keep it, father," said
Ellen, the oldest girl.
"What can you girls do to help?" said
the mother sadly.
"We can do a great deal if we try
Mortgage the place, father, and we will
see what we can do; we can not lose our
home, we w ill work our fangers off before
it thall go."
Every one was sorry for Mr. Mansfield,
and shook their heads sadly, when they
tound that he had mortgaged the property
to pay Murray s liabilities, aud
ana said tnat Ezra Jlansheld was a poor
man.
Mr. Mansfield, himself hardly expected
to ever clear oil the debt, but he
could live there a few years longer and
that was a comfort. The terms of the
deed of trust were, to pay five hundred
dollars, and interest, yearly.
The spring was iust opening, and with
a sad heart he looked over the prospect.
He hail always employed two hired men
to assist in the work; he must retrench
in help.
"Look here, father, Jennie and I are
going to be your hired men, and Mary
aud lluth are to be hired girls, only you
know we are going to work for love in
stead of money," said Ellen, as she took
the milk pails, and started for the barn.
"They will get sick of the job, I fear,"
said their mother sadly.
"Let them try," returned her husband,
'it won't hurt them to try."
"It they don t get sick or hurt them
selves."
And they did try with a will. Ellen
3Iantfield was full of energy, and the
arm work went on like clock-work. The
mother was feeble and discouraged, but
the girls never gave up. They drove the
team, to plow, and even held the plow;
they ran the mowing machine, the har
row, the horse-rake, and loaded the hay,
and the young children did chores,
weeded the garden, fed the poultry; and
everything prospered.
"Well, girls," said their father, the
next spring, "I can pay a thousand dol
lar on the mortgage, besides interest; I
almost think we shall clear the farm in
time, at this rate!"
lOf course we shall; we can do more
work another year, for we are stronger
and know how.
'But you must have more clothes this
year," s iid the mother.
"We will have what we need to be
comfortable, but we shall go into noth
ing extravagint till the iarm is clear."
Ezra Manjfield was proud of his girls.
and his heart grew light as he saw the
debt decreasing yearly, and in five years
tue last dollar was paid, and the home
was secured for Eddie, who, little scamp,
whs not old enough to appreciate the
efforts made by the girls upon his ac
count. "These girls of Ezra Mansfield are an
honor to our town," said Judge Ilawley.
"Just look at them! They are perfect
ladies, well educated, and they are not
ashamed to work. I would rather stand
in their places to-day than other girls I
know of. They are independent. Every
foot of land on that farm is precious to
them,forthey bought it with a price. Bless
them! they are worth their weight in
gold, there is no knowing what

The Pennsylvania Transportation Com
pany now propose to construct an oil
pipe line from the oil regions of Brady's
Bend, Armstrong County, to Philadel
phia, a dis,t mce of alxjut three hundred
miles, at a cost of $1,250,000, $1,000,000
of w hich is to consist of bonds secured
by a first mortgage. Of these bonds
$.200,000 are to be set apart to take up
an exiting loan to that amount, leavin
$800,000 of bonds and $250,000 of stock
or its equivalent, to construct three hun
dred miles of pipe, which, at a cost of
$9,500 per mile, will absorb the entire
sum and leave a deficiency of $1,800,000.
The holder of the before mentioned
bonds, however, is to have the right to
pay fifty per cent, of the charges for
carrying his oil with a bond. Having
thus paid its own obligations, the com
pauy is to ignore the fact, and reissue the
bonds upon the same terms as often as a
purchaser can be found.

long description of bt. Louis forty-six

Anecdotes of the American Revolution.
Among the officers of Marion's Bri
gade who distinguished themselves by
their activity and courage was Colonel
Peter Horry. He was troubled with an
impediment in his speech which, in mo
ments of excitement, caused him to hesi
tate in the pronunciation of certain
words. Once, while lying in wait with a
number of his men for a British detach
ment, he succeeded in drawing the latter
into an ambuscade that he had prepared
for them. At the most critical moment,
when his concealed soldiers were await
ing the order to fire on the utisuspecting
enemy, lie endeavored xo give me com
mand, "Fire!' in vain was the at
tempt, however. He could get no far
ther than "Fi-fi-fi!" Irritated at his inabil
ity to pronounce the whole word, aud in
a burst of human nature, very excusable
under the circumstances, he roared out
to his men, in homely language : "Shoot!
shoot! you, shoot!" Scarcely had this
emphatic adjuration passed from his lips
before scores ot the 'British lay bleeding
under the deadly fire of the riflemen in
ambush.
Another anecdote is related of Horry.
In his command was an officer named
Baxter, a brave man and a good soldier,
who, wounded in an engagement at
Quimby, cried out to Horry.
"Colonel, 1 am wounded!
To which the latter replied:
"Stand to your post, Baxter, and think
no more ot it V
A minute later Baxter again addressed
Horry :
"Colonel," he said, "I can't stand I
am wounded a second time!"
"Then lie down, Baxter," was the phil
osophical reply.
For the third time came Baxter's im
ploring utterauce:
"Colonel," he cried, "what shall I do?
They have shot me again, and if I re
main here anv longer I shall be shot to
pieces !"
"Be it so. Baxter: but stir not," an
swered Horry.
Baxter stood his ground, and before
the fight was over he had received anoth
er wound, making the fourth received
that day.
Colonel Horry was the biographer of
his famous chief. General Irancis Mar
ion, whom his countryman called "the
Bayard of the South," and the British
"the Swamp Fox," a significant appella
tion ol one whose movements were as
quick as those of the cunning animal af
ter whom he was named. Horry fells
the well-known anecdote of the dinner
that Marion gave to a young British offi
cer who had been sent lrom George
town. South Carolina, with a fiag-of-
truce to confer with the former on the
subject of an exchange of prisoners. The
officer found Marion to be "a swarthy.
smoke-dried little man, with scarcely
enough of threadbare home-spun to c iv
er his nakedness; and instead of tall
ranks of gray-dressed soldiers," he saw
with him "a handful of sunburnt, yel
low-legged militia men, some roasting
potatoes, and some asleep, with their
black fire-locks and powderhorns lying
by them on the logs." After the busi
ness had been arranged, the ouicer pre
pared to return 'to Georgetown: but
Marion requested him to remain to din
ner. The officer looked around him, but
saw nothing to indicate that dinner was
in preparation. Presently, however,
came a servant bearing a heap of roasted
potatoes, which, being placed on pieces
of bark for dishes, and the bark depos
ited on a fallen tree, constituted the
meal. Great was the officer's astonish
ment when Marion informed him that
this scanty fare was in greater quantity
than their ordinary dinner, and, more
over, that he was serving his country
without pay, and with no hopes ot liv
ing more luxuriously than he was living
until American independence should be
achieved. The officer returned to George
town so impressed with the simplicity
aud patriotism of his entertainer, that he
expressed to Ins superior officer his con
viction that it was useless to attempt to
subiugate the Americans. Faithful to
li is convictions, lie not long afterward re
tired altogether lrom the Uritish service
A distinguishing feature of General
Marion's personal habits was that he was
a temperance man where wine or liquor
was concerned. In tue year 1S0, dur
ing the siege of Charleston, he held i
commission as lieutenant-colonel in one
of the regiments engaged in the de
fense of that city. One day, just pre
vious to the siege, he w as dining w ith a
friend in the city in company with sev
eral other gentlemen. At that period
it was customary for hosts on occasions
of that kind to lock the door on their
guests in order to compel them to drink
deeply, even to intoxication. Marion's
entertainer did as much at the dinner in
question, but as Marion's temperance
principles would not permit him to re
main and participate in the debauch
that was about to follow, he determined
on leaving the diuing room. No means
of exit presented itself, however, except
through the window; but in leaping
from the window he so dislocated his an
cle as to force him to take to his bed.
While the siege was in progress Marion,
with all other non-effectives, was com
pelled to leave the city. In the end
Charleston fell into the hands of the
British, and Marion, who thus had so
strangely escaped becoming a prisoner,
eventually developed into the partisan
ranger whose skill and powers did so
much to harass the enemy, and to insure
a successful termination of the war.
Braddock Field.
A Strong Objection. "Are you sat
isfied with the jury, gentlemen?" said
Judge Noouan, this morning, after the
jury had been impaneled.
"We are," said the lawyers, in chorus.
A tall, gaunt figure rose up solemnly
in the jury box, and said impressively,
"But I am not."
"What's your objection, Mr. Snooks?"
said his honor, blandly.
"This young man on my right, your
honor, has been eating onions."
"Objection overruled ; go on with the
case," observed Judge aS'oonan, with a
significant glance at the sheriff, and the
tall man sat down resignedly, and held a
white handkerchief to'his nose as a kind
of signal of distress.
One night we were sitting out of doors
in the mooonlight, unusually silent, al
most sad. Suddenly some oue a poetic
looking man, with a gentle, lovely face
said, in a low tone, "Did you ever think
of the beautiful lesson the stars teach us?"
We gave a vague, appreciative murmur,
but some soulless clod said, "Xo; what is
it?" "How to wink," lie answered in a
sad, sweet voice.
A TitEMEXDOCs "Amen" from his vast
congregation followed Mr. Spurgeon's
prayer the other day that the Turks
might be soon driven out of Europe, and

Percheron Horses.
We take pleasure in calling the attention
of stock breeders to the fact that Mr. A.
Sackrider, the enterprising importer of Nor
man or l'ercheron horses, is acaiii in San
Francisco with six stallions of that wonder
ful race of horses, a portion of w hich are for
sale. The name Percheron is derived from
the fsct that they are mainly bred and reared
in the ancient province of La Perthe, a dis
trict situated to the south and west of Paris.
The history of this race of horses' is some
what obscure, but it is generally conceded
that they 6pruns from a cross between the
uue iiivu ana Aran siccus, liurouuceu inio
the country by the Saracens, uuder the fam
ous chief Abderame, and the lare, 6tronr
native mares of that region, l he return oi
the crusaders, briiifeing with them 6ome of
the finest of Arabian stallions, made another
infusion of oriental blood to the already
fpleudid stock of La Perche. Let their pedi
gree be what it may, the Percheron is unde
niably the finest specimen of the horso kind
for beauty, strength, endurance and speed
combined that the world has ever seen. Mr.
Sackrider's horses ure at the Kecord Slablcs

The popularity that this medicine lias

in calling the attention of our readers to it
as a family medicine. No household should

their good fortune in beiu able to furnish
a remedy so every way adapted 10 me wants

Reasons Why.
The reasons why Dr. Price's Flavoring Ex
tracts, .Lemon, Vanilla, etc., are superior to
all others is because they are prepared from
choice selected Iruits and aromaties without
coloring or poisonous oils, all the flavoring
principles are retained unchanged by chemi
cal action, highly concentrated, requiring
less to flavor.
