The Crack in the Door.
The prettiest house, the prettiest garden,
the best servants, and the largest bank ac-
count in x. belonged to Mrs. Mehitable
Armstrong, widow. Some people also declar
ed that she was the prettiest woman in »X.,
but these were net the other women. They
said that she had red hair and was too fat,
and'what the gentlemen saw to admire in her
they couldn’t guess, ete., etc. ; but, say it as
often as they might, every man in the place
was Betty Armstrong’s devoted servant, and
a'dozenof them her lovers, also.
They called her aflirt,rand that was not
true, either. She only flirted with those who
began the game first, and that a woman has a
right to do. ' At X., if a gentleman called
twice upon a lady, his attractions were said
to be “very particular" ; rumor declared that
they were “engaged” ; and if he 'spent the
evening with her they were to be married
next week fer a certainty ; but Hetty Arm-
strong was" somehow not included in the
_ general rule. She had determined to do as
she chow. She went everywhere, with every
unmarried gentleman of her sex. She was
friendly when she chose to be, and flirted
when she liked.
After setting gossip afloat a dozen times,
- she gained her point, and the people let her
alone. It was Hetty Armstrong’s way, and
no indication of matrimonial intentions.
For years gentlemen had halmted her par-
lors, escorted her hither and thither, sung-
with her, danced with her, confided in her,
and adored her, and village gossip had not
married her, until suddenly a stranger made
his debut in X., and set the tongues a-going
beyond even Hefty Armstrongs power of
silencing.
He was tall, he was handsome, he was
. comparatively young. He had just that touch
of the exquisite show him which is so charm-
ing when “a man’s a man for a’ tha " ; fault-
less in toilet and manner, educated, accomp-
lished; he flung himself at Hetty Armstrong's
feet and declared himself her admirer. Of
course we do not mean to say that he mined
the knees of his faultless habillments by god
ing down upon them, or’ in any way conduct-
inghimself as did the knights of old when
heart-smitten, but, after the manner of the
nineteenth century, he declared his inten-
tions quite as openly. ‘ '
.She tried to be prudent and judge the man
(arefully. The result was that she declared
him to be “an angel." At last Hetty Arm.
strong fairly let go of the rudder of self-will,
to which she had clung so long, and al-
lowed herself to drift down the tide of cir-
cumstances which led her into the arms of
Charles Rokewood. She felt that life would
, be happier with sucha bosom to repose upon.
and'began to wonder whether it really was
necessary fbr a widow to be married in pearl
color when white was so becoming to her
complection. . ‘
So matters stood when Christmas drew
near and with it Hetty Armstrong’s regular
ChfistmasEve party. All X., or nearly all,
would be there, even the Rev. Luther. Para.
gon, who amiably forgot to say that he disap-
proved of dancing and charades when Mrs.
Armstrong declared that “she adored them. ”
It was always the merriest party of the sea.
son at X., and this time Mrs. Armstrong de-
clared that she would outdo herself.
She stood in‘ her richdress of lace and silk,"
flowers in her hair and on her bosom, before
herguests arrived, before her grate fire in the
' parlor, when some one touched her on the
shoulder, and, turning, she saw Charles
Bohewood. . ‘
Her face was a little paler, her eyes more
earnest in their look than usual, anda sort of
happy terror came upon her as she guessed
why hehad'co'me so early.
“ I knew I should find youalone," he said;
“and I have something to say to you; some-
. :.mg‘_n
When she stopped" him. “Don’t say it
now," she pleaded. “I have ,an evening he‘-
‘ fore me which calls far all my calmness. If
it iaa‘nything agitating-7L4 must ask you
to wait' After these guests of mine are gone
' f—orto-Inorrow, I'will hear you; not now.
' Charles Rokewood bowed. “Your will
' shall be my law, he said, and took her hand
and fined it. .. She let him do it, blushing
” the-while, not caring now to look at him.
. All the. evening, after the guest were there,
: her thoughts 'wandered back to that moment.
Sheknew what he would say, and she could
'only answer one way—only one—and she
llkedhim so well.
a “_ And I have felt so sure I could never
like any one again," thought Hetty Arm—
’nrong. ' “There is fate in it."
But she danced and sang and talked as
usual, and no one guessed that was what she
'was dreaming—not even Mr. Rokewood, who,
with a chosen friend, had slipped away from
the; parlors, and was smoking and talking in
the dressing-room. He was a little out of _
' .. sons. Het’ty,oonseious-of her duties as a
~ hostess, insisted on being public property,
and could not be lured into a tete-s-tete, and
‘ ' 7 the women who were to be talked to, he-‘did
‘ not eareabout. Enggged men are generally
known by their boori'sh' conduct to ladies
generally. Rokewood, although notengaged,
' believed himself far enough upon the road to
forgethis suavity, and fell back on cigars
and his masculine friends whenever his lady-
love-could not be whispered to, or gazed
at. .
Consequently damsels who thought Rokc-
-' wood- charming were wondering what had
become of him, when Biddy, the waitress,
mysteriously beckoned her mistress into the
Maud, inan awful whisper, said, “More
, spo'ons Were needed for cream." ‘
“Of course there must be," said Mrs. Ann-
strong. “Where was my poor head to so
forget it! I’ll get. poor Aunt Martha’s set
from my upostalrs'china closet. Please wait
on the'stairs till learns to you."
_ And sway ran Mrs. Armstrong to the see-
and floor where she plunged into a long, old-
‘fgsh'ioaed closet, and brought forth a legacy
of silverware left her by her maiden. aunt.
Counting 'the spoons over, amurmur of voices
from'the next room fell upon [her ‘ear. At
the same time she caught the perfume of a
cigar. She knew that Charles Rokewoorl had
the richest voice and smoked the best cigars
of any man of his set. -
“ You dear old fellow,” she whispered to
herself, “ Illaye been so cross to you, to-
night, that somc day I’ll be as kind to you as
I can, to make up forit." '
Then,,with a loving woman’s wish to see
the face that is so dear to her, she stooped
forward and pecped through a crack in the
door of the china closet opening into the sew-
ing room, devoted this.evening to the gen-
tlemcu’s toilet. lvery word was plainly
audible when her pretty car approached so
near to the crevice, and the first words ar-
rested her attention. The men were talking
of matrimony. .
“ It’s a deucedbore,” said his friend. “You
are tied to a woman's apron strings for life.
You can’t say your soul is 'your own. Take
my advice, and keep outof it altogether."
“ Look here, ' old. fellow," said Charles,
taking his cigar between his lips, “that sort
of a thing is all a man’s fault. Now, when I
marry, my first'act will be to prove myself
master. As you begin, so you go on, and
before the honeymoon is over the woman
who takes my name shall know that my
word is law." .
The spOOns in Mrs. Armatrong’s hands tink-
led just then, but no one heard them. ' Chari
ley went on : -
‘—‘ Of course you yield a good deal to the
woman you are in love with," said Mr. Roke-
wood, evidently brushing the ashes from his
cigar _; “but that’s because of the romance
and all that sort of nonscllsaewllich dies out
with the honeymoon. You can find women
to write poetry to, and talk sentiment with,
married or single. As for your wife, she's
the woman that keeps house for you, and the
sooner you make her aware of the fact the
better. When I marry, Jones, my dear fel-
low, it will be with in idea of perpetual
courtship in my mind. I'll begin as I intend
to go on, and be master, depend upon it." '
“ But not my master,” whispered pretty
Mrs. Armstrong, “not mine." .
“ Mistress Armstrong, thcm spoons," whis-
pered Biddy, at the stairs.
’Hetty Armstrong gathered up the spoons
which had slipped loosely down into her lap.
She looked at them she did so. They
were solid and elegant, as was all her silver.
Her eyes glanced about the room, which
wealth and taste had made the perfection of
elegance and comfort. Her room! She
heard down stairs the merry chat of her
guests, the sound of music‘ and dancing.
She remembered that in the kitchen her ser-
vants were making ready a supper fit for a
king. She turuedjto the mirror ; a handsome
woman still young . and elegantly dressed,
glancing proudly back. An hour before, all
this, the woman included, she would have
given to Charles Rokewood had he been a
beggar. Just a twinge of pain went through
her heart. One tear stole down her glowing
cheek. Then she gave a little, bitter laugh.
“ My wife, if Ihave one, shall have no
chance to show her temper. B she does not
like my orders, she must obey without liking.
I’ll break her in just as 1 would a horse—-
bring her down at once to the frame of mind
I mean to keep her in ; purposely thwart her
for a while ; contradict her, object to the
style of her dress; make her alter her way
of doing up her hair ; refuse to dance,
attendance at churchfindmake her send re-
grets to party invitations when she wants to
accept them ; show her at once what she
must expect. After a while I might-yield a
little more: but because, you understand—
not to please her!
“ Y-e-e-s,” said the friend, doubtfully ;
“ but—you canlt think how hard you’d find it;
and if you stay out late they make such a
row—sit up for you in a nightcap, and cry~
when you "come in.”
“I'd manage that,” said Rokewood, “by
staying out every night until daylight—the
one rule I should. put in practice would be——
never let a woman have her own way."
The spoons tinkled a little more, and Mrs.
"Armstrong’s face was terribly flushed, .but
she listened still : ,
“ I alone am queen of me 1” she mis.
quoted, and ran out to give the spoons to
Blddy.
“It was hard to find them," she said, “but
here they are at last.” . .
“ It was the merriest Christmas of them all
said every one of her guests; and Hefty Arm-
strong seemed the merriest there. .
Hetty Armstrong refused Charles Rake-
wood, the ne'xt day, and people who guessed
it blamed her bitterly. As for Charles him-
self, he was amazed and injured. and deeply
grieved, for he never guessed that his lecture
on married life had a second .auditor ; nor
that Hettie would have said, “Yes,” instead
of “No,” but for the crack in the door of the
china closet.

Clymer’s committee 'in developing the
Belknap scandal caught and ruined Pendle-
ton, compromised Clymer himself, and
brought out, Robinson‘s North Carolina
bribery record. The Kilbourn investigation
has induced a Democratic ex-member of
Congress to confess his membership in the
real estate pool. Old Bill Allen is being in—
vestigated by the' courts in Ohio for the al-
leged offence of swindling the orphan lega-
tees of his father-in-law’s estate out If an
8,000—acre farm. Governor Hendricks is
charged with being a member of an Indiana
ring which has swindled the people of thoua
ands.
. If the investigators will only push forward
with vigor the Belknap enormity will dwin-
dle into a peccadillo compared with the
swindles proven on the great leaders of the
Democratic _party,'and cause the people to
believe him comparatively innocent, consid-
ering his Democratic training. Push for-
ward the‘invcstlgations, say we, if it w0uld

Trans-Atlantic Navigation.
Number 2.
BY A. II. BISSELL.
It was in the Spring of 1838, that the nav-
igation of the Atlantic by. steam really com—
menced; up to that period the passenger and
emigration trade between Europc'and Amer-
ica, increasing in importance, had been car-
ried on, by sailing ships, many of ,them
stately craft, not a few of them stately craft,
and a large proportion of them flying the
American flag at the peak. Yet even the
best of them, dependant as they were upon
favoring winds, very often made long pas-
sages, anuoying in the extreme to those on
board, andexceedingly inconvenient to ship-
pers and consignees. Often too these vessels
were scant‘for room. Commercial relations
between the two countries demanded increas-
cd facilitics. Thcn'too, Great Britain, with
the pretentious and undisputed title of “Mis-
tress of the Seas," was unwilling to ' be he-
hind the Yankee enterprise which had flecked
the ocean, with these white winged messen-
gers of commerce. The use of steam as a
motive power on land had proved eminently
successful in “shortening distances," and in
creasing facilities of traveling. What was to
prevent its use in Trans-Atlantic navigation ?
Inland navigation presented no such formida-
ble obstacles as did the navigation of the
Atlantic, the most serious one being the ill-
ability of a vessel to carry its own fuel for a
long period of time. From this even san-
guine ones recoiled. But England must do
something to maintain her maritime suprema-
cy, and while English Scientists and English
Mcchanicians were hotly discussing the pros
and cons of the question, one of them, looked
upon Its a thoroughly practical man with pro-
gressive views offered to eat the first vessel
that crossed the Atlantic by 'means of this
agency; English instinct and English capital,
foreseeing the possible result, had determined
to hazard the attempt.
Two pioneer vessels, the Sirius and Great
Western, the former chartered, the latter
built expresslyfor the purpose were freighted
and dispatched for New York, carrying, also,
the best wishes _of the British nation. The
Sirius was chartered by a company of
capitalists, who had associated themselves
together, under the name, style, and descrip-
tion of the British and American Steam Nav-
igation Company. She was chartered to run
until the British Queen, which had been con-
tracted for could be built. She was a large
steamer for her day,.although, but of seven
hundred tons burden; was six months old,
ahd had proved herself the peer of any steam
vessel 'n British waters. The Sirius left
Cork, reland,von the morning of the 5th of
April, 1837, and it seems that her charterers
found forty-four persons adventurous enough
to take passage in her. Lieut. Richard Rob-
erts of the Royal Navy, afterwards the com-
mander of the unfortunate President, sailed
in charge of her on this unaided trip across
the untried ocean. '
The Great Western belonged to the Great
Western Steamship Company, was of thirteen
hundred and forty tons burden, and two
hundred and thirty-fourjeet in length. She
was a new steamer, built expressly for cros.
sing the Atlantic, and had in Capt. Hoskins,
her commander, an ofilcer of large exerience
and good judgment. She left Bristol, Eng-
land, April 8th, three days after the Sirius
had sailed from Cork. The result of these
voyages, was awaited with intense, almost
painful anxiety, on both sides of the Atlantic,
for by them it was confidently expected, the
problem of the possibility of establishing a
regular intercourse by steam, between- the
two continents would be fairly tried.
“These were not indeed the first attempts to
navigate the Atlantic by the use of steam.
In May, 1819, the 'Saval'lnah an American
built steamer registering three hundred and
eighty tons, ship rigged and provided with
an horizontal engine, sailed from the city
whose name she bore, and arrived at Liver-
pool after a voyage of twenty-six days. The
appearance of so novel a craft in English
waters, created not only astonishment, but.
delight, and as she entered the Mersey, and
all along the river to her‘ anchorage, she was
greeted with enthusiastic demonstrations.
Later she proceeded to the Baltic, and thence
returned to New York. Here her machinery
was taken out and she ran for some time
in the line between that city and her native
place. She was finely wrecked on the coast
of Long Island. ‘
It was not, however, deemed that the my":
age of the Savannah, had settled the question
of the navigation of the Atlantic by steam,
as her engines were so small, and so unsuited
to the risks of such a voyage, and so the ar-.
rival of the Sirius and Great Western was
awaited with much concern. At length,
after a voyage of eighteen days the Sirius,
arrived at Sandy Hook, and scarcely had
the news of her arrival sped through the
city, when the Great Western was also signal-
ed. In the New York Evening Post of April
33d, we find the following report of the
scenes and incidents of the occasion:
I“ The arrival of the first steamer had
caused a stir of eager curiosity and specula-
tion, which every new enterprise of any
magnitude awakens. The Battery was
thronged with thousands of persons, of both
sexes, assembled to look at the first vessel
which had crossed the Atlantic by steam, and
when later the Great Western was seen
ploughing her way through the waters to the
city, a prodigious mass bllcker than ever
lined the shore and bay. It seemed in fact a
kind of triumphs] entry.”
The municipality of New York offered a
reception to Capts. Roberts and Hoskins,which
was accepted, and they in turn invited the
public to inspect their vessels. The Sflus
remained in port one week, and the Great
Western two, the former leaving on the first
of May, and the latter on the seventh, both
taking out a fair complement of passengers,
and both arriving in England without accident
after reasonably speedy voyages. The Sir-
ius crossed several times after, and was then
put upon the line between Cork and London,
where she was finally lost; and the Great
Western was employed in the trade between
New York and Liverpool for many years
thereafter. In 1839, the British Queen re-
placed the Sirius, and a few months later
the President commenced making regular
trips, the two forming a line, leaving New
York and Liverpool every month. Passages
were also made during the years 1838 and
1889, by the Royal William and Great Liver-
pool, the. former very appropriately bringing
the news of the coronation of ‘ Queen
Victoria, so that at the beginning of the year
1840, the navigation of the Atlantic by steam,
may be said to have been fairly underway.

Taylor was about to wed Mr. Powell. He

furnish t e house they were to occupy.
“Spare no expense” were his instrcctions to
her. “Let every room be furnished 'on a
scale of regal uificence, and here is $20 to
do it with." ut for some reason Mr.
Powell changed his mind and would not wed.
Instead of a suit for breach of Promise, the
ungallant Powell instituted a suit to recover
the $20., A justice unhesit‘atingly decided
against him.

An exhibit has been prepared, under
Democratic auspices to be circulated as a
campaign document, to show what success-
ful financial managers the Democratic ad-
ministration ill this state have been. The
substance of it is that during the three years
of Democratic control the income of the
state has been reduced over one million two
hundred and eight thousand dollars. And
we are told in big letters that there will be
on hand in the treasury at the close of the
fiscal year, Slx nuxpuno THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Truly this is wonderful ! But it happens at
the beginning of the fiscal year just one year
ago, there was on hand accoring to the treas-
,urer's report the am of SEVEN HUNDRED
AND SEVENTY-ONE THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR DOL-
LARS. So it seems, by Democratic showing
that there has beena shrinkage in the amount
on hand, since one year ago, of more than
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
TIIOUSAND DOLLARS. How is that for
Democratic management ?
Moreover, it appears that on the 21st of
March, 1874, there was on hand about
EIGHT HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Here is a clear rinkage, in two years of
Democratic management, ‘of TWO HUN-
DRED AND SIXTY-FOUR THOUSAND
DOLLARS l 1 1
These are the official figures, and cannot be
controverted. So much for the boasted
Democratic financial management.
From the New Haven Courier;
Our Reform Ticket.
Yesterday morning we adverted to the pop-
ular demand for political reform which has of
late been making itself heard and understood
on all sides. As we then stated, _it is perfect-
ly obvious that the people are thoroughly dis—
gusted with the prevailing corrupt and low
tone of the public service, and wish to have a
radical change in the whole system of politics.
This feeling the citizens of Connecticut share
with the rest of the country. It is our pur-
pose, this morning, to show how fully the Re-
publican candidates for State offices fill up
the measure of the desired reform standard,
and how much more the Republican ticket
smust commend itself to the judgment of every'
honest and patriotic citizen than the opposing
Democratic ticket. The present is no time
for intense and unscrupulous partisans, dema-
gogues, or professional politicians of any sort
to come to the front. The men who are
wanted now as leaders are men of high per-
sonal character and standing in the commu-
nity, men who are uncontaminated with the
dirty dregs of politics, men who have never
descended and would never descend to wire-
pulling, in a word men of undoubted patriot-
ism, capability and integrity. The Republi-
canState ticket is composed of the names of
men oéexactly this sort, and thus it embodies
and cxpresses the prevailing popular senti-
ment of the present time; while the Demo-
cratic ticket suffers wofully by comparison.
The Republican candidate for Governor,
Haxur C. Dnlxsox, of Hartford, is well
known throughout the State as one of our
ablest lawyers and most honorable and con-
spicuous citizens. He is a gentleman, by birth
and breeding, a graduate of Yale, and a man
of wide and genuine culture. The same may"
be said—indeed, less cannot with justice be
said—~of his opponent, Governor Ingersoll.
But it is needless to draw any personal com-
parisons betweelf the two candidates for Gov-
ernor, either of wh.is the peer of the other.
It is more to our present purpose to point
out the fact that Mr. Robinson, while he has
always taken a deep interest in political affairs
and is not unacquainted with the. details cf
public life, has never been a strong partispn,
or involved in any way in the machinery of
politics. He is ii} full sympathy with the Re-
publican party, and has strong convictioils in
accord- with those of the better and larger por-
tion of that party, but he puts principle before
party and honestyvbefore success. .It is such
men whom the peoplenow delight to honor.
Fullyas conspicuous a» representative of
the best elements of the community is FRED-
ERICK J. lecsnpnv, of \Vaterbury, our can-
didate for Lieutenant Governor. Mr. Kings.
ored citizens of watel‘bury, and has held
many public and private positions of trust
and responsibility to the entire satisfaction of.
all concerned. Like Mr. Robinson, he has
taken a lively interest, as every'citizen should,
in the afiairs of his State and country, but
has held himself aloof from-all the degrading
and dishonorable influences otpolitical trick-
ery and jobbery.
'This description applies a fortl'orl to the
Republican candidate for Secretary of State,
FRANCIS A. WALKER, of this city, whose
many and admirable qualities it is not neces-
sary for us to rehearse before the New Ha-
ven public. General Walker has a more than
national reputation for executive ability and
practical good sense. As Superintendent of
the last United States census, he placed the
entire country under heavy- obligations to
him, by reason of the masterly manner in
which he performed the work. During the
war he was a faithful soldier and brilliant of-
ficer, and he is now one of the most highly
valued of our Yale professors. General
Walker,it is to be added,is and always has been
noted for his political independence, and he
acts with a party only so far as in his opinion
that party acts aright. His honesty is beyond
cavil or question, and he is emphatically a
man for the‘ times. Such men as General
'Walker are the natural. enemies of political
trickstérs, and the very embodiment of ‘the
idea of political reform. '
The Republican candidates. for Treasurer
and Controller, Messrs. JEREMIAH Oan} and
ELI CURTISS, are well worthy to stand beside
the other three just mentioned, as leaders of
the Republican reform movement of 1876.
They are recognized, wherever known, as
men of sterling integrity and high character.
Here, then, we present to the masses. of hon-
est citizens a ticket which, cannot fail to se-
cure their unqualified approbation. By the
side of it the Democratic ticket sinks into
the veriest insignificance. Aside from Gov.
,ernor Ingersoll, there is not a man among the
Democratic candidates who is in any degree
comparable with his Republican oppohent in
point of capability, individual merit, or po-
litical good-repute. The Democratic candi-
dates, below the Governor, are all politicians
of the most common and objectional order,
and were selected wholly for political reasons.
The Republican ticket is so obviously the
better of the two that it would seem as if the
people would need no urging to elect it. It
is essentially a reform ticket, and represent-
ing the best elements of the party and the
community, it should be voted by all who are
in earnest to secure reform.

Centennial N otcs. '
Pulmnatrnra, March 125b, 1876.
In addition to the great exhibition buildings
now completed with two exceptions, there are
many special buildings, nearly finished, which
add largely to the general effect. We mention
some of these in order to show the great de-
mand for space. ' Near the main entrance of
machinery hall the shoe and— leather building
stands.‘ This 131312 feet long and 160 feet
wide; every 'foot of space in it has been
taken up, anfixhibitors, as a general thing,
have only been allowed from one-half to twc-
thirds the space applied for; this building
will be used exclusively for the purpose its
name implies. It fivas originally intended.
that this department} should be in machinery
hall, but exhibitors of‘that trade soon saw
that they could not make the proper exhibit
of their goods and‘ business, hence they put
this building up at-their own expense. It
will probably be finished in two weeks.
There are also in same line, three separate
annexes to machinery hall, to be used as boil-
er houses and machine shops, and so great is
the demand for space that many are satisfied
with a little room in these buildings. There
are now over three hundred applications on
file for space that cannot possibly be granted.
North of the western section of the main
building-the building for the exhibition of
carriages is in course-of construCtion, and
will probably be ready in a couple of weeks.
Near this buildiné on the west, stands the,
school house builtiby Sweden, which is near.
1y finished and is quite noticeable for the
neatness and finish with which its frameworks
are put together. The various State buildings
are nearly corfipletedi The Connecticut build-
ing is about finished and will be quite promi-
nent for its small size and of its Yon/ire style
of architecture. The Japs have nearly com-
pleted their building, and it is partieularly
noticeable. for the ' nicety with which its
framework is put together, and the elegant
carving over and about the door: By the
way, as a matter of ifiterest and appreciation
of the superiority'of American tools, I am
informed on undoubted authority, that the
Japanese have ordered 900 saws of Henry
Diston, of this 'place, and it is highly proba-
ble before they go away they will all be furn-
ished with a complete outfit of carpenters
tools, They are undoubtedly well skilled in
the care and use of their tools such as they
are. Mr.‘ Diston told the writer that he never
saw an American caQentcr that understood
putting his tools ln‘such‘ good order as the
Japs did theirs, such as they are. So that we
may learn somethi' ' as well as they.
The increased acti t , especially in the main
building, is quite apparent, especially among
the foreigners. The Spanish are going to
make a very attractive display. They are en-
closing all of their space in what might be
styled a regular Spaniilh Bazar, and will have
'all the attractive features and costumcs’pe-
culiar to themselves. Their workmen are
very tasty in their gpersonal appearance and
workmanship. :
weden is puttin ‘i'up a‘stand in the same
modeled somewhat after the style of a
church, and fbr taste and workmanship will
not probably be excelled by any. ‘
Great Britain will have by far the largest
and most novel exhibit of any of the foreign
exhibitors. One of the commissioners told
us that their greatest trouble was to make
their stands and space compare favorably with
their building,which was by far more elegant
in design and workmanship than they had ex-
pected to find it. He said the Americans de-
served a great deal of credit for the prompt
manner in 'which they had accomplished so
great a task, the buildings being finished two
months ahead of the time for opening, while
at Vienna many of the buildings wele not
finished on the opening day.
» Having made Some inquiries regarding this
accommodations and prices for board, it
seems to be the general impression that there
will be room enough for all, and the ruling
prices will not differ much from what they
are at present. A great effort will be made
by the commission to have all accommodated,
by publishing a list of places, their location
and prices, for the benefit of persons coming
to the exhibition. Their plans are not fully
matured yet, bllt I may say the matter de-
serves more creditable mention than the arti-
cle written by a correspondent of the New
York Times and wblished March 13th. Of
course there will be abuses in this as well as
all great enterprises, but the people will find
that the commission will spare no pains to
correct any abuse in their power, and will
give all the information possible to make vis-
itors satisfied in every respect. The Penn.
R. R. Co. are to reduce their fare 25 per cent.
ogthe first of May ; the matter of trip tick-
ets has not-been fully decided as yet. The _
admission fee to the exhibition will be 50cts.
This will admit to all buildings. inside the en-
closure, and ab other charges will be allowed.
There will be no tickets issued, nor will they
take anything but a fifty cent note. For con-
venience, however, there will be an exchange
close by, where the proper change can be
given. The admission fee will be'only good
for one entrance. . The matter of a reduction
f is and children is still under discus-
81 . 'd it is thought that a favorable ar-
rangement will be made. Every article and
building in the enclosure will be under the
control of the commissioners, who will fix,
as far as possible, the charges of refreshment
stands and restaurant keepers, and any over-
charge or abuse of privilege reported to the
commission will be sufficient cause to cancel
their contract. The tardiness of the Ameri-
can exhibitors is getting to be quite embar-
rassing to the commission, many of the prin-
cipal exhibitors making little or no prepara-
tion as yet. The Director General has issued
an order informing them that if their goods
are not on the grounds on or before the 10th
of April, their spaces will be canceled. The
commissioners have been singularly fortunate
and successful in all they have undertaken so
far, and it would be a shame if our own
countrymen should be the cause of .any con-
fusion or hinderance of this unprecedented
and glorious enterprise on the opening day.

The Journal .of Commerce, referring to the
greenback conventions held in the. various
parts of the country, says : “N nmerlcally all
these people are not to be desplsed. Andlt
is quite probable that they are growmg In
numbers. For the course of the majority of
the house of representatives has been exactly
adopted to foster these heresies all over the
country. It was supposed when congress as.
sembled that the financial questions would at
last he put in the way of settlement. A large
majority ‘of ‘resumption’ and ‘hard money’
men were believed to exist in the house and
in the senate. The democratic party, having
control of the lower branch, was expected to
initiate and conduct the work. But instead
of doing that the democrats in congress have
been quarreliug with each otile',in and out of
caucus, for two months and a half and not
a solitary thing has yet been doae to gratify
the wishes or alloy the fears of the great mass
of the people.”
A Washington corres ondent of the Bos-
ton Journal says :——“ he republicans, al—
though the majority, are making good their
promise to catch two democrats to one _repub-
lican in the mud throwing contest which the
democrats have initiated by their sweeping
resolutions." .
Now while the thing is in order, would it
not be well for Congress to investi to the
conduct of the war.- Perhaps it .can _'DI‘0V-
en that the Union forces got the best positions
at Gettysburg and Nashvdle, and took unfair
advantages of the rebels. Here is a bonanza

HEART WRONGS.
We were sistersl May wsséyoungcr
And the fairer of the two. .
With her eyes of deepest azure
And her curls‘of sunny hue.
Yet beneath that beauteous visage
Pride and vanityiyewstrong,
Whic rparcnts-fondly humored
Hee cm of their fatal wrong.
I, Irene, of plaincr featl‘n'es,
Thoughtful ever, and sedate' ,
By my shy, reserved demeanor,
Made her charms appear more great.
I had never had a lover;
She could count them by the score;
This I thought not strange, but only
- - Drew within myself the mere.
' Tillone glorious, golden autumn,
0’ the spiritof my dreams
Cam change, most deep and wondrous,
As the brightly flashing beams
Of the mornin" " ‘ g’sunlight', chases—
All the shadows of the night,
So my listless-dormant nature
Woke into a noonday light.
_ . May had gone away that autumn, ,
'Toadistant seaporttown,_
For a few short weeks of pleasure
Ere the winter settled down.
Then it was I metmy Herbert—-
Then my hear-tiny master'knsw.
And the love which had been sleeping-
‘Into bud and blossom grew.
How it came about I know not
How he should have given to me
That which many‘tried in' vain for,
= Ever seemed a mystery. .
Yet it'was so; this he told me
- . On 11 Well remembered day,
As we watched? the tints of sunset -
Changing into evening’s gray.-
. Then, he drew my athl:W me.
, ._Whi_sperins softly M the. alt
Wastoo chilly forhis darling. .
That form-mks. 1 mass care .
For myself... But. like the Min; '
Of that sunsetfs gold to gray,
All my new-born joy and glsdnas
Into darkness died away.
.May returned! and in my suitor
Saw a prize well worth her'gain ;
Soshe s‘etherhearttowin him,
Spread her toils-and, not in’ vain.
no 'nottthink I ever blamed him,
. When’his choice stood forth' confessed,
That he should have likedher beauty
‘ ' and her girlish waysthe'best.
- I grew-st'rangely cold and distant, -
“As-I saw' the one sodear,
in the sunshine of her beauty
- . Finding warmth and light and cheer.
He would still have kept his promise——
'Even'then have wedded nae-
But was silent- when I charged him
With his change, and set'him free;
. 3Yet ftwas giving up the dearest,
Fondest- Wishes of my life; ..
’Twould have been my heaven of heavens
To- have been pronounced his wife.
To be cared for, and protected
. By his noble, manly heart—-
Ministering to his comfort—
Forming of his life a part.

They were married! and removing.

' Seldom. did we see each‘other—
Andj’twasbest it‘shonlgl betlnn.
Yet his home was net made happy,
As a husband's home should he'-
Than all other places dearer, '

This we learned from sister’s letters
’ - Filled with murmurs andcor'nplaint
~ At her husband’s “‘prudishnotions,"
‘- Chafing at the slight restraint.
Writing of the balls attended,
' 5 Of the compliments received-
Then, sarcastically-‘adding »
1 That for this her husband mined.
But one day there came a letter . .
,Which our every thought. engaged,
. Telling of afatalfever
That within that city raged. ,
And that Herbert was the first one
, , To be smitten with its breath,
. And he sent to me the message
To come quickly ere his death. .
Soon .1 Stood beside his bedside—4 ' '
Stood be'sidet‘him'there alone,
Ashe said, 'in‘ feeble accents,
, “ No one fsflouldhave known
If I'had lived, what now I tell yot . ,
Do I do my'wifea wrong
' When I say Irene. my darling.
' . I have loved you all along?
~ :It ‘wasbut'is-vpassing fancy
' That I- gave your sister-May,
Butl’vetried to do my duty = . - '
. Ever- since our wedding-day."
. Then he asked if :Iwould kiss him,
. Only-once before he died; -
1 , And his pleading. eyes-uplifted,
Would- not, could not be denied.

_ Years have passed since that sadmornlng,
. With swift flight—and Sister. May
An old man of wealth has married,
'And is happy, in her way.
But though I have had good ofiers,
I still keep my heart’s love true
To the only king [and 'master
That its service-ever knew.

For I know that up in Heaven ,
.All our wrongs shall be, made right;
All the shadowsshallbe lifted , .
From our clouded, earth-bound sight.
I shall meet my Herbert up there,
In the bright eternal day,
In the dawning of the morning
When the mists have rolled away... I-
