From the details of the outrage at Salonica, it appears the United States Consul inter fered for the protection of the Greek girl, and conducted her to the Consulate in a carriage. An excited mob thereupon sur rounded the Consulate, and the French and German Consuls, who were brothers-in-law, and related by marriage to the American Consul, believing him to be in danger, pro ceeded to bis assistance, and, on the way. were attacked. The Italian Consul informed the Governor of the ftate of atliiirs, and be seut troops to the relief of the Auiericau Consular, which was besieged by the rabble. A Paris dispatch to the London Timet says: The reports of the outrage atSalouica received, represeut that the French aud Ger man Cousuls were dragged from the street into the Mosque and sabered. 'I he Governor arrived at the Mosque after the murder had been committed A telegram from Berlin states that the German corvette Medusa has been ordered to leave Messina for Silonica without delay.

Consul has ordered a man-of-war from I'irocus to come to Salonica immediately. A special from Odesha to the Loudon Timet represents that the Salonica outrage was premeditated. All the Consuls, except the British, Wad warned the Governor and the Porte that a tuassaere was intended. The same dispatch says that a feeling of insecurity prevails among the Christians and Europeans in Turkey. A plot was dis covered ini Constantinople, of which the Dervish Pasha, then Minister of War, was ti... ll luM-Kiiaded the Sultan that an attack on his palace was meditated. The Governor of Korfesto had also armed the Mohammedans of that place, but received orders to disarm them on the news of the Salonica outrage. The insurrection in Bul garia gains ground.

He was greeted with great enthusiasm TheTaris correspond ent of the London Timet has received a communication from a person of unques tionable authority, who considers that the fanatical movement in Salonica is gaining in intensitv. The correspondent thinks that the Salonica affair may be the efl'ect of an agitation, which has been carefully fomented in view of the event of the necessity of a holy war. He hopes that the Powers will take prompt measures to prevent the horrors which may be foreseen A London Timet dispatch lrom Berlin says that Russia and Austria have placed their man-of-war in the Archipelago at the disposal of Germany, in case there should be any further attempt to molest Germans in Turkey before the arrival of the German squadron The Pope has written a reply to King Alfonso's last letter, which gives as surances that Spain was Catholic, and that the Catholics need fear nothing from the new constitntioo, and maintained that the religious liberty clause was not inconsistent with the spirit of the concordat of 1855.

The army of Guatemala, under General Barrios, has been successful in every quar ter, having driven the Salvadorians before them from every field. The ship of war General Barrios had landed a large force in the rear of the city of La Union which at tacked the place, completely routing the Salvadorians, and planting the flag of Gen. Barrios upon the curstom-hou-e and public buildings. The victorious army pushed on to the interior, driving the .enemy before them, capturing many prisoners, and causing the utmost demoralization within the ranks of the Salvadorians. At early dawn on the 19th nlt- the citv of San Miguel was cap tured, whereupon the President of Salvador sent a 1 ot iruce, ana astea mat tney uc allowed to make peace offerings. It is un derstood that Barrios would not treat with him under any other terms than uncondi tional surrender. At a recent sitting of the Council General of the Department of Vaucluse, France, a member spoke in opposition to the proposed subscription for the monument to be erected by the Franco-American Union, asserting that the Americans showed ingratitude toward France during the late war.

Prefect of Dijon, aud in the presence oi an invasion he received a delegation of Ameri can citizens who handed him 200.000 francs for the sick and wonnded. subsequently another delegation of Americaus brought him additional subscriptions, aitogeiner more than 2,000,000 francs.

Permission was asked to introduce a resolu tion directing the Secretary of War to issue five hundred thousand rations to the suffer ers of the late Mississippi overflow, but was not granted.

In the House, Mr. Duuham of Kentucky, rose to a personal explanation concerning his former connection with L. II. Fitzhngh, of Texas, the Doorkeeper of the House. It seems that Fitz hngh had been indicted aud tried in Ken tucky on the charges of arson, conspiracy, and perjury, and Mr. Dunham had beeu his counsel. Fitzhugh was nominated in caucus for his present position before Mr. Dun ham's arrival in Washington, hence the lat ter did not inform Cocgrrss of his knowl edge of the fnruiet's precedents. Fitzhugh's let er to a Texas friend, in which he outraged both the English language and decency, was then read, and a resolution dis missing him from office was offered and re ferred to the Committee on Rules. The House then went into tbe Committee of the Whole, but a quorum not being present, the committee rose and the House adjourned. Opening Speeches of the Exhibition. i Tbe presentation the to the President o.f the United States was made in a speech bv President Hawley, of the Untied States Commission, as follows: Mr. President Five years ago the Pres ident of the United States declared it fitting that the completion ot the nrst century of our national existence should be commem orated by an exhibition of the natural resources of the country and their develop ment, and of the progress in those arts which benefit mankind, and ordered that an exhibition of American and foreign arts, products and manufactures should be held nnder the auspices of the Government of the United States, in the city of Philadelphia, in the year lbii. lo put into etiect tbe sev eral laws relating to the Exhibition, the United States Centennial Commission was consequently composed of two Commission ers from each Mate and territory, nominated by their respective Governors and appointed by the President. Congress also created our auxiliary and associate corporation. Tbe Centennial Board of Finance, whose unex pectedly heavy burden has beeu nobly borne, and the remarkable and prolonged disturbance of the finances and industries of the country, have greatly magnified their task, but we hope for a favorable judgment of the degree of success attained. July 4, 1S73, this grouud was dedicated to its present use. Twenty-one months ago this Memorial Hall was begun. All the other 180 bnildiugs within the inclosure have been erected within twelve months. All the buildings embraced in the plans of the Commission itself are finished. The de mands ot applicants exceeded the space, aud strenuous and continuous efforts havo beeu made to get every exhibit ready in time. By general consent the exhibition is ap propriately held in the City of Brotherly Love. Yonder, almost within your view, stands the venerated edifice wherein oc curred the eveut this W"rk is designed to commemorate, aud the hall in which the first Continental Congress assembled. With in the present limits of this great park were the homes of the emiuent patriots of that era, where Washington and his associates received generous hospitality and able counsel. Yu have observed the surpassing beauty of the situation placed at our dis posal. In harmony with all this fitness is the liberal support given the enterprise by the State, the city, and the people individ ually. lu tbe name of the United States you ex tended respectful and cordial invitations to the governments of other nations to be repre sented and to participate in this exhibition. They responded from even the most distant regions. Their Commissioners are here, and you will soon see with what energy and brilliancy they have entered upon this friendly competition in the arts of peace. It has been the fervent hope of the Commission that during this festive year the people from all States and sections, of all creeds and churches, all parties and classes, burying all resentments, would come np together to this birthplace of our liberties to study the evidence of our resources, to measure the progress of a hundred years, and to examine, to our profit, the wonderful products of other lands; but especially to join hands in perfect fraternity, and promise the Uod ot our iatners tuat tne new ceuiury shall surpass the old in the true glories of civilization ; and, furthermore, that from the associatien here of welcome visitors from all nations, there may result not alone great benefits to invention, manufactures, agricul ture, trade and commerce, but also stronger international inendsnips ana more lasting peace. Thus reporting to you, Mr. Presi dent, under the laws of the government, and nances of similar occasions in the United Stales, in the name of the Centennial Com missioners, 1 present to your view me inter national Exhibition of 1876. When President Grant rose to re spond, he was greeted with enthusiastic and long continued applause, followed by three cheers and a " tiger," led by (ien. Hawley. President Grant then read his response to the presentation address, ins re sponse was brief, and expressed in well chosen terms his sense of the importance of the Exhibition and the greatness of the events it commemorates, iso great was the confusion in the crowd, how- ever, and so low the tone of voice in which the speech was read, that people a few yards away could not hear what was uttered. My Countrymen It has been thought appropriate, upon this Centennial occasion, to bring together in Philadelphia, fcr popu lar inspection, specimens of our attainments in tbe industrial and hue arts, ana in litera ture science and philosophy, as well as in the great business of agrienltureandof com merce, that we may mure thoroughly appre ciate tbe excellencies and deficiencies of our achievements, and also give emphatic ex pression to our earnest desire to cultivate the friendship of our fellow-members of this great family of nations. The euligtened, agricultural, commercial and manufacturing people of the world have been invited to send hither corresponding specimens of their skill, to exhibit ou equal terms in friendly competition with our own. To this invitation they have generally responded. For so doing we render them our hearty thanks. The beauty and utility of the contributions will this day be submitted to your inspection, by the managers of this exhibition. We are glad to know that a view of speci mens of the skill of all nations will afford to you unalloyed pleasure, as well as yield to yoa a valuable practical knowledge of so many of the remarkable results on the Cen tennial Grounds. One hundred years ago our country was new and but partially settled. Onr necessi ties have compelled us to chiefly expend every means and onr time in felling forests, subduing prairies, and building dwellings, factories, ships, docks, warehouses, roads, canals, machinery, etc. Most of our schools, churches, libraries, and asylums have been established within one hundred years. Bur dened by these great primal works of neces sity", which could not be delayed, we yet have done whist this exhibition will show in the direction of rivaling older and more ad vanced nations, in -htw,niedicine, and the ology; in science, literature, philosophy, and the fine arts. While proud of what we have done, we regret that we have not done more. Our achievements have been great enough, however, to make it easy for our people to ackaowledge superior merit wher ever found. And now, fellow-citizens. I hope a careful examination of what is about to be exhibited to yon will not only inspire you with a pro found resnect for the skill and taste of our friends from other nations, bnt also satisfy you with the attainments made by our own people during the past one hundred years. 1 invoke your generous co-operation with the worthy Commissioners to secure a bril liant success to this International Exhibi tion, and to make the stay of our foreign visitors, to whom we extend a hearty wel come, both profitable and pleasant to them. I declare the International Exposition now open. Opening of the Centennial Exposition. The following was the official programme of exercises at the opening of the Centennial Exposition: The grounds and buildings in general were opened to the public on Wednesday, May 10, at nine a. m. The Memorial Hall or Art Gallery, the Main Building and the Machin ery Hall were reserved to the invited guests aud the exhibitors until the close of the cere monies, about noon, when all restrictions were removed. The exercises took place in the open air upon the south terrace of Me morial Hall, fronting the Main Building, in full view of the general public The music was under the direction of Theodore Thomas, assisted by Dudley Buck, with an orchestra of one hundred and fifty, and a chorus of eight hundred. The orchestra played the national airs of all countries rep resented at the Exhibition. The President of the United States was escorted to the grounds by Governor Hartranft, of Pennsyl vania, and a division or more of troops from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The follow ing is the programme : 1. Centennial Inauguration March, by Richard Wagner, of Germany. 2. Prayer by the Right Rev. Bishop Simp son. 3. Hymn by John G. Whittier; music by John K. Payne, of Massachusetts. Orches tral and organ accompaniment. 4. Cantata, the words by Sydney Lanier, of Georgia; music by Dudley Buck, of Con necticut. Orchestral and organ accompani ment. a.

The Foreign Commission passed into the main building and ftok their places opposite their respec tive sections. The President of the United States and the guests of the day passed through the main building. The Foreign Commissioners, npon the President's passing them, joined the procession and the whole bjdy crossed to Machinery Hall. There, at the proper moment, the President set in motion the great engine and all the ma chinery connected therewith. A brief re ception by tbe 1 resident ot tne united states in the Judges' Pavilion closed the formal observations of the day. Speaker Kerr's Life not Menaced by Disease. New York correspondent Chicago Tribune: E x-Surireon-General William A. Hammond denies that the report of the resignation ot fepeaker Kerr on ac count of ill-health is correct. He says there is no ground whatever for the re port that Mr. Kerr's health is in an alarm ing condition. That gentleman is suf fering mainly from the eliects of over work, but bis nervous organization is un impaired. Mr. Kerr has been a studious worker for many years, and is also suffer inc from chronic bronchitis. He is far from well, but by no means a dangerously ill man. Dr. Hammond has told Mr. Kerr that be must leave the iState of Indiana, the climate of which is malari ous, and under this advice he has gone to Richmond, from which point he will proceed to the mountains of North Caro lina, where he will remain during tbe entire summer, in hope of restoring his shattered health. Rest and entire re moval from mental excitement, his physician savs. are indispensable, and with these secured there can be no ques tion of his ultimate restoration to perfect health. Acting under medical advice. Speaker Kerr will probably never again return to inaiana except as a visitor. ft '.j&f1 W-Sl; " CENTENNIAL DEPOT, PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. The 7 PennsylvaniaT railroad "company whose lilies 'penetrate every section of the Union, and directly connect all important points with Philadelphia, has made magnifi cent preparations for conveying, with safety and comfort, the millions of people who in tend vLsiting the Centennial Exhibition di rectly to the Centennial grounds. The loca tion of the Exhibition made it impossible for any other railway to directly reach the Exhibition buildings and grounds, and the management, ever since the site was des ignated, has employed its gigantic equip ments and unrivaled facilities to make the Exhibition a success, by providing the amplest accommodations at the minimum price, for both exhibitors and visitors. It was fitting that a railway company,national in its character and operations, should thus second the commissioners in illustrating onr centennial history by demonstrating the high degree of excellence attained by the railway transportation system of America, in making the great thoroughfares uniting the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi vnllcv, the West, Northwest and Southwest with "the Centennial City, as erfect as possi ble in all its essentials and details. Its routes follow the geographical chan nels of continental inter-communication, uniting most of the larger cities on the southern shores of (lie great laker; on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, and on tlw At lantic harbors. The main road from New York to Philadelphia, though passing through the principal cities of New Jersey, does not deviate six miles from an air line, and this deflection is due to the interposition of navigable waters. These routes not only excel in directness as well as in the number of important cities and towns they connect, but they are confessedly superior in con struction and equipment. Between Pitts burgh and New York, 444 miles, the entire line is double track, laid with heavy steel rails with joints connected between ties by a process that gives the effect of continuous rail, on which there can be no unpleasant jarring. All bridges on the line are of iron or stone. A large portion of this distance is provided with a third track, which enables freight trains to keep entirely out of the way of passenger travel, and permits the express trains to run their allotted distance without interruption, and near Philadel phia, and other important terminal points, four tracks have, for considerable dis tances, been completed. -. The Block signal system, exclusively used on the Pennsylvania railroad through out its entire length, compels the engineer of a train to know whether the track is clear or not to the next station, be it one or ten miles, and every modern appliance for combining the highest speed with the most perfect safety has been adopted. The company has built 21H) elegant cars, with engines of the first class ample to move all traiiis.that may possibly be required. Centennial visitors will find the Pennsyl vania mail the only direct route from the West, North and East to the Centennial Exhibition, the rates as low as by any other route, the time made by it the quickest, and the accommodations for comfort, luxury and safety uneqiialcd. Careful agents, on all trains, will arrange for the prompt and cheap delivery of all" baggage, and, for fifty cents, sell seats in a comfortable carriage to any point in I'lulaoeipnia. Above all, these visitors will be landed at the very doors of the Exposition, in the beautiful Centennial depot of the company represented in the above cut. It stands op posite the open space separating the Mam exhibition building from Machinery hall, facing the principal entrance gate and the Judge's pavilion, and in close proximity to several immense hotels and restaurants. It is 340 feet in length by 100 in width, two stories high, and surmounted by six towers. In design it is tasteful and ornamental, comparing favorably with the many beauti ful structures erected for the purposes of the Exhibition. The first floor contains a gen eral waiting room, 130 by 100 feet, a ladies' waiting room eighty-one by 100 feet, a bag gage room forty-nine by 100 feet, a ticket otfice thirty by forty feet, a package room ten by thirty feet, and a number i retiring rooms, all handsomely finished, and pro vided with every convenience. The rooms on the second floor are for the use of the railroad officials and employees. This depot is reached by a circle of three tracks sweeping from the main roadway fonr-fifths of a mile long, and the diameter of the circle they describe is 600 feet. All trains will enter this circle heading west, and depart from the depot heading east Three trains can be landing or receiving passengers in front of the depot at the same time, the entire tracks being floered over, and no matter in what direction the trains may come or go, they can be moved without confusion, delay or danger. Seventeen additional sidings have been constructed, connected with this circle, of a length of 1,000 feet each, upon which wait ing trains can be run And remain with en gines attached, until the time arrives for them to enter upon the circle, receive their passengers, and depart for destination. This arrangement of tracks and sidings is novel, and affords facilities for the transac- Hon, without aetention or coniuBion, oi , almost nnlimifc-d passenger business. THE YOUNG FOLKS. "Papa Can't Find Me." No little step do I bear in the hall ; Only sweet little laugh, that ia all. No dimpled arms round my neck hold me tight, I've but a glimpse of two eyes very bright, Two little hands a wee face try to screen ; Baby is biding, that's plain to be seen. Where is my precious I've missed bo all day?" ' Papa can't lind me 1" the pretty lii say. " Dear me, I wonder where baby can be !" Then I go by, and pretend not to see. " Not in the parlor, and not on the stairs ? Then I must peep under sofas and chairs." Tbe dear little rogue is now laughing outright. Two little arms round my neck clanp me tight It nine will indeed be sad, weary and lone, vY hen papa can't find you, my darling, my own. The New Hippodrome. "Oh, mam ma ! mamma ! Georgie Steele is going to the Manager's and Hiccup Home, where you see all kinds of animals, and men tossing balls and swinging on ropes, and ladies riding on horses and standing on men's heads ; and there's lemonade and music and peanuts and and every thing. And can't we go too, mamma?" And little Arthur Grey went up and down on his toes, his yellow curls tossing around the flushed and eager face. " It goes in at two o'clock," he continued, " and there's no time to lose. That's what Georgie's Uncle Tom said. So can't Susan get us ready before dinner? And will she take us, mamma, or you ? It is in a big tent, snd you take the Orchard street cars, and "But, my dear Arthur," and Mrs. Grey put her arm around the excited little boy who was still going up and down like the toy men on the boxes which you wind up and who dance till the sand runs out, " I can not, for many reasons, let you go to the Hippodrome to-day." Mrs. Grey spoke so decidedly that Arthur knew it was useless to say an other word ; aud the sand must have run out all at once, for he didn't go up on his toes again, but the poor little curly head went down, and down, and down, till it rested on his mother's lap, and two little fists rubbed two little wet eyes, leaving many black marks and rings on the baby cheeks. His kind mother put her arm around him and let him cry a little while, for Arthur was but a little boy, not five years old, and she knew by the wild way he had been going on be fore how much of a disappointment her words had given h: n. And as she ten derly looked down on the little yellow head lying in her lap, and smoothed its tumbled ringlets gently with her fingers, she seemed to be thinking of what she could do that would give some pleasure to the unhappy little boy. And so it was that when dinner was over Master Arthur was dressed in his new plaid suit, for he wore skirts yet boys' skirts, you know, which are quite as manly and prettier for little boys than pants are and then Susan led him out to the Eiazza where mamma and brother Her ert were waiting for him. "Now 1 11 take you to a Hippodrome that I like better than Carnum's," said mamma as they walked down to the 8ate: "Is it under a big white tent, mamma?" inquired Arthur, a little doubtfully. " It is under a green tent," answered mamma, ana Herbert sin ilea in a very knowing manner. "And will we see men tossing balls and swinging on ropes, and ladies riding on men s heads r asked Arthur breath lessly. " 1 don t know, answered mamma, "just what we will see, but I know it will be all wonderful and beautiful, if we only think so." Dy this time thev came to r reeman s Cave, and Arthur said in a rather disap pointed tone: " Oh, I know ; you are going to the woods." But he was soon dancing along gayly upon the grass, or walking demurely at his mother's side, his hand in hers, while Herbert, a head ' and shoulders taller, walked upon the other side, his hand slipped through his mother's arm, for these walks to the woods with mamma were a great delight to both the big and little boy. " See, the performance has begun," cried Herbert as they readied the grove. "Here are tumblers, Arthur," pointing out to his brother two ''tumble bugs" that were hard at work rolling their ball up a little hill. Arthur sat down upon the grass to watch them. The performer on the lower side held up the ball with his little slender legs, and the one above pulled and scrambled with all his little might. Perhaps they were nervous at having spectators, or they had not had rehearsals enough. Atany rate the little chap on top let go when he ought to have held on, and over went the ball on the poor little performer underneath, tumb ling him head over heels to the bottom of the hill. It was only about th -ee or four inches, but the bug probably thought it was far enough, aud the little rascal who let go came scampering down on his six little legs and made a great fuss as if he were begtring the oth er's pardon and saying, " Now, iudeed, I didn't mean to do it, and I assure you it won't happen again." But the other fellow told him it' he thought it such fun to get knocked over he might be on the under side, and the one that had the fall, and didn't want another, ran up above ; and soon they were both iu posi tion for a fresh pull, and a long pull, and a pull altogether. a .. . " Yo, heave, ho, my heard.es!. There you are, now," called Herbert and num ber one pulled away with his little leg arms, backing himself up the hill in such funny way that Arthur laughed aloud. Number two, pushed away, Delow, and held up the heavy ball heavy for him like Atlas, Herbert said, with the world upon his shoulders. The work went bravely on for awhile, but then there was, some way, a slip somewhere, and away went ball and bugs, all three, way down to the bottom of the hill. But it is "up and at it" again, the brave little rogues! And this time they both went underneath and pushed " un til they got red in the face," Arthur said. But number one pushed a little too hard, and knocked the ball away from the grasp of number two, and off it went down the hill again. Did they give it up then? Not a bit of it. Away they both went racing after it, and Ar thur was watching to see how they would tackle it for the third time, when his mamma called out to him, " Come and see the trapeze performer, Arthur." The little boy ran up to the elm tree where his mamma was standing, and on the lowest branch of which a large brown spider was swinging himself gracefully to and fro. 11 He hasn't even a rope." said Arthur. " Oh, yes," said mammal " Come here aud you can see it shining between you and the sun. See, he is going to swing himself across to this side," and as she spoke the skillful little fellow reached the place, and turning, scampered back over the airy ladder he had iendvfor himself, which swung from jnf -side beneath his weight, but did Lo.Hbeak. Back and forth he went . as if walking upon air, and, while they watched him, stretched thread after thread across, around and about, until the web, beauti ful to look at, aud wonderful in con struction, was shining like woven silver in the sun. "Ah, here's a performance not on the bills," said Herbert, and Arthur ran, laughing, to see two big black ants fight ing over a crumb of bread they- had picked up somewhere from a picnic ground perhaps. First one got it and ran off as fat as he could go. The other soon overtook him, and throwing his big black legs over his back held him down while he snatched the crumb from him and made off in his turn. The first little thief picked himself up and raced after the other, and he being a spunky little scamp they had such a tussle, when, lo, while they were fighting, another ant, bigger and blacker, came walking up and seeing the row, " Now, my children," said he, "I'll save you all further trouble," and he quietly walked off with the crumb! Whether the others knew it was of no use to attack tbe giant ant, or whether they were so taken aback by his impu dence as to lose their presence of mind, I can not tell. Certain it is that they turned in opposite directions and as quietly walked away. Arthur ran back to tell his mamma of what he had seen. In the midst of his story, " Oh, see!" he cried, pointing up the bridle path that ran through the wood, "there's the lady on horseback, tool" Mrs. Grey looked up, and, smil ing, bowed to the pretty young lady, who tossed her a kiss and then cantered on with the gentleman at her side. "She isn't standing on the man's head," said Arthur, so slowly and quitely that Herbert laughed aloud. "No," said Mrs. Grey slowly, and quietly, too, as if she were speafing lo' herself; " but I fear she is walking over his heart." " What, mamma?" said Arthur. Mamma is looking thoughtfully after the riders as she sits down on a mossy bank to rest, and she makes no reply. " Oh, the lemonade !" cried Arthur, as if struck by a sudden thought : " where's our lemonade ?" His mother took his little silver mug from her pocket, and, holding it where a tiny stream trickled down near her through the moss, "There," she said, " that is better, I am sure, than ' ice cold lemonade' carried in wooden pails and drunk from pewter cupj, isn't it?"' Arthur drank the clear.spring water as if he thought so, and Herbert, having emptied the cup in his turn, gave it back, saying, " 'A sweeter draught From a fairer hand was never tuali'ed.' " Mrs. Grey laughed and thanked him and Herbert grew very red, as if he felt a little ashamed. But I think it was a very pretty thing for a little boy to say to his mamma, don't you? In the meantime Arthur had wandered od to a big oak tree, and, returning with a pocketful of acorns, ' See," he said, " these are the peanuts!" and the dear lit tle fellow seemed so pleased with "his part of the circus." as Herbert said, that they all laughed over the " ieaiiuts" as it it had been the lunniest joke in the world. "But the music, mamma !" cried Ar thur, determined to find a counterpart for all the attractions Georgie Steele was supposed to be enjoying. Mrs. Grey raised her hand with a gesture of silence as a dear little robin on a neighboring limb poured out all his little soul in a strain of song. "Is he the music man?" said Arthur. " Is that all ?" as if he thought poor robin very little in the way of an or chestra. the of bee full " 1 this, he and a in sits in the the iu the a that tbe an gaze iu and way The the last and the her the of and to her his is old he " the but of for "No." said mamma; "I hear sweet music all about me in the wind among pipe trees yonder, in the fluttering leaves of that aspen tree, in the trickling this little stream, the buzzing of that around the columbines the air is of it if we will listen. Earth with her thousand voices praises Gsd.' " Arthur, perhaps, did not appreciate all but as he Blid down hill on the pine straws, or gathered soft mosses with Her bert to make a "queen's seat" for mamma upon the chair-like rods of a fallen tree, he found that he was a very happy little boy, and the afternoon slip ped very fast away. " I have been to the Hippodrome, too," cried gleefully to Georgie Steele, whom they found at his gate tired out warm and cross; " and we had just splendid time !" And it seems to me that this new Hip podrome of Arthur's was quite as good its way as Barnum's. Now, what do you think, little read era? Christian Union. Having Your Photo Taken. When a person, in this case a lady, down to have her photograph taken, after the preliminary tortures are con cluded, such as fixing the prongs at the back of the head and getting one's self a position of exasperating stiffness, instructions are, " Now, look pleas ant, please." The stereotype grin that follows through that awful space of silence, during which the operator holds brass cap in one hand and his watch the other, is reflected on the photo graph by an idiotic simper which makes victim resolve never to " look pleas ant" again. The next effort brings forth " prunes, papa, potatoes, prism" mouth, whose only recommendation is it is not the ghastly pleasantness of first. Resolved to avoid either ex treme the unfortunate . again faces the brass-muzzled instrument of torture with intellectual, profound, earnest, rapt at a roll of paper which she holds her hand. The result is a stern, Minerva, Susan B. Anthony, severe of purpose look, and the severity of pur pose is manifested by ordering photo graph No. 3 into oblivion. The next position is standing, with velvet and furs hat and feathers, in a rollicking ; failure too much like a hoyden. last attempt is sitting in a pensive attitude with the cheek resting on the hand, but that unromantic camera makes hand look bigger than a leg of mut ton and about that shape. This is the straw, and the lady takes her gloves her leave at the same time, while photographer murmurs as he read justs the camera: Oh, how unfortunate, What could ill id hex f So very importunate About that 'ere picture. 9 4 Texts from the Talmud. If thy wife be small, bend down to and speak to her ; do nothing with out her advice. Everything in life can be replaced ; wife of early days is irreplaceable. An honorable man honors his wife ; a contemptible one despiseth her. The loss of a first wife is like the loss a man's sanctuary in his lifetime. If a man divorces his wife, the altar itself sheds tears over him. Man and wife well matched have heav en's glory as their companion ; man and woman ill matched are encircled by a devouring fire. Rather any ache tban heart-ache; rather any evil than an evil wife. He who loveth his wife like himself, houoreth her even more than him self, wholeadeth his sons and his daugh ters in the path of integrity, and who provides for their settlement in early life ; him may be applied the Scripture pas sage, " Thou shall know that peace shall adorn thy tent." A man who takes a wife for the sake ol money rears ill-behaved children. He who marries a woman congenial to himself is loved by the Almighty. When a niau loseth his wife, the world around him groweth dark, the light iu tent is dim, aud the light before him extinguished. He who has no wife lives withoutcom fort, without help, without joy, aud with out blessing. An old man in a house is a terror, an woman is a pearl. A Tender Request. He had gone up to her house with her from a shopping excursion the other afternoon. While he was there such a Uood of tenderness came over him that impulsively dropped on his knees be fore her, aud giving her a glance that sHke volumes, huskily said : " I can no longer keep my feelings back. I love you. Oh, will you, Oh, will you be " SHAD! Ten cents ! " rang out the clarion voice of a street vender before house. She made a clutch for her handkerchief to cover up the emotion, she was too late. The ludicrousness the combined sentiments was too much her intellect, and she melted into a prolonged giggle. His face flushed scarlet, and for an instant he was too profoundly impressed to realize his posi tion. Then he shot up on his feet, and with a howl of rage departed. Really, ought not more intelligent and more dis criminating people be employed on fish wagons ?

It seem that the memory of this woman, like that of her renowned husband, is likely be kept alive to the end of time. She is said to have possessed a very irritable temper, and her name has become a synonym of vixen," or " scold." Itis more than possi ble, however, that the judgment passed upon her by mankind has been too severe. A more charitable disposition would undoubt edly have discovered in her many good qualities, and have attributed ber fail ings more to physical infirmities than to moral obliquity. The party most intimately acquainted with her, and therefore best able to form a correct opinion, gives her credit for many domestic virtues. It is now well known that many of the diseases to which women are subject, have a direct tendency lo render them irritable, peevish, cross, morose, unreasonable, so that they chafe and fret over all those little ills and annoyances that a person in health would bear with com posure. It is fair to infer that most of the tantrums of Xsntippe were due to these causes alone; and could Socrates, as he re turned from the Senate, the Gymnasium, or the Atheneum, have stopped at Pestle A Mot tar's Drug Store and carried home a bot tle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now and then, no doubt he might have evaded many a "curtain lecture," allayed many a "domestic broil," made it much pleasanter lor tne children, and more enjoyable lor himself, ana rescued his wife's name from tbe unenviable, world-wide, and eternal notoriety it has attained. Thousands of women bless the day on which Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription was first made known to them. A single bottle often gives delicate and suffering women more relief than months of treatment from their family phy sician. In all those derangements causing backache, dragging-down sensations, ner vous and general debility, it is a sovereign remedy. Its soothing and healing properties render it of the utmost value to ladies suffer ing from internal fever, congestion, in flammation, or ulceration, and its strength ening effects tend to correct displacements of internal parts, the result of weakness of natural supports. It is sold by all druggists. Southern Hotel, St. Louis, Me. The most complete betel in all its appoint ments in the West. Tho table supplied at all times with the best the market affords.

Indications of sickness should at once be attended to. fatal diseases may be caused by allow ing the bowels to become constipated, and the sys tem to remain in a disordered condition, until the disorder has time to develop itself. Anonnceof pre vention Is worth a ponnd of cure, is aa old and truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who are troubled with tho complaints bow very prevalent- headache, indigestion, disordered liver, want of ap petite, nausea, or feverish skin, to take, without delay, Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy so harmless and decisive in its action. It at once strikes at the root of tbe disease and produces a healthy tone to the system. People never need suffer from any disease arising from a disordered condition of the liver if they would take this ex cellent medicine when they feel the first indications of the malady. Families leaving home for the sum mer months should take three or four boxes of these pills with them. They have an almost instantaneous effect. They will relieve the patient of headache in one or two hoars, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of snrronnding bile, and will effectually prevent a bilious attack. They are sold by mil druggists.
