V~ ~ NEW Yoax, May 24tlI,'1876.
TnE CENTENNIAL.
I have been to Philadelphia, and have seen
., the great show. It is a big thing, and every-
bedy in the United States ought to. see it.
'Make no “mistake-fyou Ought to see thc‘Ex-
position. “The display of machinery is won-

derful; the displayvcf minerals and other‘

productions of that natuge is still more so,
and the art department is rich as rich can
be. Europe a'ld America have contribultd
the best of their works. There has been the
most generous provisions made to show every-
thing that is rich, rare, curious, and instruct.
ive, and there can be no better month or
week spent than at the grant Exposition._
It isaliberal education to go through the
various departments and study what is-of
interest. The ancient jewelry, that goes
back to the time of Charlemagne, the ancient
pottery from Herculancum and Pompeii, and
still father back of that; the pottery of

modern days, showing by contrast the differ- '

ence between the ancient and the modern ;
the world of ombroidcries, laces, fancy work

'of taste and utility—in short the wilderness

of everything, ancient and modem, that “jean

be used and that can delight the eye or the

other senses. Such aicoilcction-will not be

seen'again fora hundred years, and probably

never will be again. .
FASHIONS.

.The most gorgeous contrast of color upon.

white, or the yellowish tinges in vogue, will
be seen in dressy costumes the coming sum-
mer.
every body is under the necessity of wearing
the red, white and blue, taste goes a stop
father, and sanctions such unions as eardiL
. _ nal red, with either brighter Maine Louise
blue, or, what is more effective, deep navy
blue, and corn or yellow. The three colors
are worn in bows find‘saslics on black silks,
grenadine especially, and on white muslin
dresses. Please observe the distinction ; the
warmest, richest shades must be used, not
merely bright ones. It will not do to‘ wear
cherry-color and azuro altogether, for stylish
effect on white dress or a black one; the

reds and blues are tobc deep and bright to;

. gether. Instead. of the , uniform; .reiief .of
black and brow‘ri‘t'rinimin‘gs seen-lso long,
street suitg pf panorama thi‘d‘ithoifashiolia—
ble pearl grays “he . piped with blue and
crimson very gikelyvbéth together, in slight
lines that light the dress in the most sub-
dued, bewitchiug way, while linings of the
samepeepout from sleeves and rufll , or
the reverse cf block trimmings on th e,
making a "summerolike graciousness of at
tire, very pleasing to the eyes of men, and
those women who do last see any special sin-
fulness in a bit of color.

' ’l‘IlE rasssrrnnnuv GENERAL assnxnnv.

This is a great year for the Presbyterians.
They have been a Republican sect from the
days Of the seige ofDerry, and feel specially
patriotic, from
Witherspoon, the signer of the Declaration
of Independence, and whose influence was

'prominont’in securing its adoption, was a
Presbyterian minister of high repute. It
would hardly haye answered to hold the
Assembly in Philadelphia, because it would
not have been the easiest thing to find long--
ings there among the Presbyterian families,
who are probably entertaining a country
cousin for every spare bed and lounge within
their walls. Besides, it might not have been
the easiest thing to keep a quorum of mem-
bers in the assembly, with the attractions of
the Exposition so near. But New York is
just close enough, so that the Assembly can
get its business done, and than take a run
down to Philadelphia before they go home.
Meanwhile Broadway shows an unmistaka.
ble sprinkling of exceedingly cheerful gen-
tlemen in black, with fresh-looking girls, in
debcgc' dresses, just off the style, bgt making
up for any deficiencies in dress by an exceed-.

ingly sharp and critical manner of observing '

things. Don’t they know what people ought
to take an interest in 7 Don’t they read all
about art furnishings, and pottcries, and por-
celains, cloissonne, and repousse, and all the
jargon that cultivated folk talk ? They are
busy as bees and ants never were ; they come
down to breakfast in their bonncts, and never
take them off till after the evening so .. ice,
whatever that is, lecture, concert, or visit to
the Academy of Design. They swarm in
the museums and art stores, catalogue in

hand, anxiously studying up high art enough _
to put them On conversing. terms with city ‘

visitors next summer, who will open their
eyes to hear the wives and daughters of
country ministers pick them up on enamels
and their Japanese. Every well-cultivated
person understands, something of Japanese
now-a-days; it is quite necessary tofcorrect
taste and principles. Just now _ quotations
are a little t0wards renaissance, that is, the
style of decoration where the china and table
legs and figures on the wall-paper are all
Scrolly and funny, like dragon’s wings, and
yop can’t tell whether they are animal, ser-
pentine or flower. But whatever there is,
these sharp Presbyterian girls will see all,
there is of it, and on their return will be"
quite qualified to write a guide-book of the“
city and its sights. It is not well known by.’
outsiders like myself, that there is a sort of
feminine vGeneralvAsscmbly, whichmeet side
by side with the other. It is called the W0-
men's Board of Missions, but depend upon
it that is only a blind, and the women mean
to have ahand in managing the affairs of
church, just 'as soon as they can impress up-
on the minds of the brethren how capable the
sisters are of. relieving them of missions and
their own work too. '
sroizrmc. . t
New York must constantly be amused, no
matter how the times are. The latest‘sensa-
tion and one which has occupied the attention
. of the sporting world‘ more than anything
that has happened .for a long time is the
.match made by a Californian named Parker
to ride three hundred miles in fifteen hours,
on mustang ponies. For this match thirty-
.. ir‘ictengs. wild, unbrokenpaud ugly,
: ii: 1'.) rd, and .21i7’3'iju. kept for; some
{inn- " 1i: i‘ ‘ ' near The city.
3* .. . .., ~ ' - [tepsaddle and
mount, with.-- ; g. ‘ :' changing asof-
tenas'h'e pleased.~ The ponienmnu‘sed to a
regular track, and frightened by the erowd
present, made .their rider a good“ deal of
trouble, anda rain setting in, which soaked
him and rctardcd’his movements, besides
making the track very heavy, lost him the
match. He rode-two hundred and seventy-
fivc miles in the time, and immediately made
another match in which he barred bad weath-l
er, and which there isno doubt he will win.
The idea is to bring that breed of horses to.
the States, horsemen believing that for sad-
dle and 'light work generally, a judicious ad-
mixture of the mustang element will be of
benefit. They are curious-locking little
- beasts, but are as strong and wiry as necdjbe.

‘ . TnE GAME or POLO. .
'llns new game, Introduced by young Ben-

nett, 0f the Herald, and a parcel of English
swells, bids fair to be the sensation of this
season. The game is nothing more nor less
than_hookery on horseback. Sides are cho;
sen, the players are mounted on horses, and
armed with a light, long mallet. Stakes are
not, and‘a ball is tossed into the ring, and the
sport begins. Each side tries to force the
. ball beyond the stakes of its opponents. It
affords room for a greatdeal of fancy riding
"and a great deal of. dexterity in the use of
the mallet. For this game, those same mus-
tangs aroused, their smallness enabling the
rider to reach the ball with more case, and
their wonderful quickness suiting them for
a game, in which the horse plays quite as im-
portant a part asthc rider. It is an- exciting
game, and will become immensely popular—
indeed, it will have as wildarun as base ball.
Hundreds of amateur horsemenfrom abroad

. and the prices obtained, or, rather the readi-

Becausc it is the centennial year, and

the fact that old John-

r

l have already 'witncssed the practice games of
the New York elab, and have organized
clubs in their own cities. Look out for
Polo—it is the coming amusement.

nusixnss
remains as dull as it can well be. There

will be a sale of domestics next week of six‘
- thousand packages—the largest ever held to
determine the question as to whether the
bottom has dropped out or not. Over a
million of dollars-worth will be offered;

 

ness to buy, will determine the course of the
merchants for the season. In the meantime,
the grain people have been awakened to the
situation of their business, and an effort is
being made to get back a portion. of the lost
trade. Vanderbilt has commenced an eleva-
tor or two, and additional facilities for load-
ing and unloading canal boats are to be at
once provided, so that the handling of grain
can be done a“. less cost. Baltimore, Beston
and Montreal have all advantages over New
York now, and something must be done at
once, or the grain trad-ris lost to the city for.
ever. _ Pin'rno.

Mr. Harrison, of Guilford, moved that
when the house adjourn on Friday, it be to
meet on Wednesday at 11:30 o'clock, as Tues-
day is Decoration day, and many members
Will wish to attend the ceremonies in their
several towns. ’ ' _

Mr. Graves, of Litchficld, objected, be dis-
claimed any lack of regard for theUnion dead,
but thought this idea of Decoration day
should be forgotten north and south, and that
it was time for the two sections to come to-
gether again with no customs to perpetuate
the memories of the past.

Mr. Cleveland, of Hampton, said that Mr.
Graves wished the people of the north to for-
get the past. Well, he thought that there
were some people in this state who would be
willing to forget it.

The motion was then agreed to.

Sad Fate of a Peddler.

 

The man had a satchel’fuli of them swung
around his neck. He stood on n soap-box in
Franklin Square last night. On his right was
a filthy gasoline lamp tied to a lath with a
timed twine, said lath being fastened in the
frozen snow. The man was a healthy-looking
fellow with six hairs in his moustache and
velvet cuffs on his coat. He opened his
satchel and his mouth at the same instant,-
and the little street gamins crowded around
him. He took a chew of tobacco and then of.
fered to sell his wares at ten cents apiece.
They were India rubber fingers used, he said
to torment the girls_so as to induce them to
bite. After biting them it was in order to
laugh at them. He thought it was very funny
to see a girl biting at one of these fingers. He
was a very funny fellow himse" 11', but there
was samebody in the crowd who felt funnier
than he did. This funny fellow hurled a
snow ball at the finger vendor which took of
feet on the end of his nose, and going into his
mouth spoiled one of his funniest expres-
sions. The follow turned inquiringly around
to locate the place from whence it came, and
he received another one from the opposite
side. Another and another in quick succes-
sion warned him that his services Werc'not
appreciated. Hurriedly he demanded from the
soap box, and, with his lighted gasoline lamp
in one hand and tho_satchel in the other, he
made his legs rapidly carry him to a place of
safety. Some people like humbugs and take
pleasure in beinghumbugged, but they don't
live in Troy. 'It is about time for those gen.
tlemen to learn that fact.-¥Troy P-rm.

 

A New Capitalist.

 

He did’nt look asif his pockets held fifty
cents, but a rich 'man has a right to dress
as he chooses.
until he saw the right sort of a'face, and then
he asked : “Can you show me a bank ?” .

“ Yes, Sir ; three doors below, or just
across the street, or right back there.”

“ Thanks. I‘d like to put acme money in
some bank, but I’m a little afraid of banks.
I always did prefer a note of hand to a
bank."

The citizen pricked up his ears and asked :
“ You have some money to land, have you 7"

“ A trifle,” was the answer. “Do you
know of anybody who’d like togtske some
and give me a note for a year at seven per
cent. 7” I think of going to Mexico for a
while i" "

“ Let’s see 2" mused the citizen, “I don’t
know but I'd take some mysc .”

“ Lemme git a drink and then we'll talk,"
said the stranger.

“ Yes, certainly; come on," replied the
citizen, and the two went into a basement.
Drinks were ordered by the citizen, one after
another, until his shinplasters felt lonely.
He said he could make good use of a few
thousand dollars for a year, and some of his
friends might also take a few thousand more.
The stranger put down gin, whisky, lager,
and brandy until his legs gave out. The
citizen laid him on a bench and tried to sober
him, but the feliow went .dead asleep while
they were trying to force vinegar down his
throat. The bar-keeper said he was an old
loafer, and a policeman was sent for to take
him to the station. When they got him
duvn there and searched him, they found
four cents, a brassbacked comb, and a door-
key in his pockets, and the citizen who want-
cd to borrow a few thousand dollars went to
see if the mail had come in.—Delroil Free

William Lloyd Garrison Setting
. ' Type.

The paragraph is going the rounds of the
newspapers that a few days since, on his
seventy-first birthday, the venerable William
Lloyd Garrison, reviving the instincts of his
old apprenticeship to the printer’s craft, set
up type. in the office of the Newburyport
Herald, where fifty years ago he learned his
trade. The writer remembers another and
more notable occasion when Mr. Garrison
took his standat the compositor's case, and
it will be recalled by numbers of our Brook-
lyn residents who were on the Fort Sumter
expedition. It was on the evening following
the flag-raising and the delivery of Mr.
Beecher’s oration. The whole material and
machinery of :thc Charleston _Meroury
ofiice on this twelfth of April, 1865, were
pressed intb the work of putting in type the
report of the celebration, and there was a
call for printers. Mr. Garrison and George
Thomas went to the Mercury office, and the
former volunteered, and put in type the first
“stickful” of the report, using for that pur-
pose type that had rendered the bitterest
pro-slavery and rebel service in- an office
which, not long before the war, had printed
the offer of a. reward for Garrison’s capture,
dead or alive Mr. Garrison showed, himself
a good workman at Charleston, and lately at
Newbnryport. Faithful in one thing, he has
been faithful in all, and began his life work,
as many aman has done before him, by fidel-
ity in his apprenticeship. ‘

 

Au Escmsn Laxnroan SPANKING Bore.—
P. A. Tnler, the well:knowu English liberal
M. P., the other day, wanted to know of Mr.
Cress, minister for home affairs, about the
case of “Mr. Reginald Gaston Wilberforce;
barrister at law‘ and justice of the peace,"
who had cruelly flogged two boys for “dig-
ging a rabbit out of ahedge" and who had
been sued and fined £15 therefor. Mr. Cross
repliogl that he made it his duty to communi-
cate with the county court judge who tried
the action, who informed him that the boys
were found on Mr. W'ilberforcc's land not for
the first time. Mr. Wilberforce complained
to their father, telling him he could pros.
ecutc them before a magistrate, and asking
the father to punish them. The father said
he could not flog them himself because -his
hand was disabled (laughter), but he asked
Mr. Wilberforce to flog them, and proposed
to 'send them to him for that purpose.
(Laughton) Accordingly, the following
morning, they went to Mr. Wilberforce
(laughter), and he asked whether they would
rather have a flogging orbe sent before the
magistrates. Each said he would rather
have a flogging. (Laughter) Each put
down his clothes. (Laughton) Mr. Wilber-
force did not touch them with his hands, but
flogged them with a birch rod. The boys
said he had not hurt them much, and nothing
more was heard of the affair until ‘an action
was brought, some weeks later. The ques-
tion left to the jury was whether the flogging
was too severe, and the jury found for the
plaintiff, damages £10. Now, be (Mr. Cross)
held that it wasa great error in judgment
on the part of Mr. Wilberforce, who had
authorized him to state that it was a matter
which he most deeply regretted; but he,
must say, in conclusion, that this remark
ought to be made, that Mr. Wilberforce did
not inflict this punishment as any part. of his
duty as a magistrate, and it was not done in
any judicial capacity. (Laughton) Mr. P.
A. Taylor—I beg to give notice that, on an
early day, I shall call attention to this case,
nd move- a resolution. (“On 1 oh I" and
cheers.) '

 

Byington has written a letter to the Nor.
walk Gazette, in Which he alludes to Gov-
English as a presidential possibility, and there-
upon every hair in the head of the Hartford
Courant stands on end and the Courant pro.
coeds to demonstrate the total unfitness of the
overnor for the duties of the white house.
‘0 be sure, Gen. Hawley had reason to feel
aggrieved at his defeat for the senatorship in
1872 but we could never exact] understand
why he should have expected ov. English,
who was a member of the legislature that
year, to give him any aid or comfort.—New
London 'elegram.

 

“ No picture ought to be hung higher than
the height of the average human eye, when
the owner of the eye is standing.” This is a
sensible rule that is violated by half the
house-keepers in town. Whether it comes
from a desire to save picture-cord, or wire,
or whether the pictures are generally of than
class to which distance lends enchantment, It
is not easy to say, but the habit of homing
pictures seven feet from the floor, so that no
really good view of them can be obtained
without much effort, is certainly very com
mon. - .
