Ciraud Centennial Preparations.
It is impossible to read the descrip
tions of the daily progress of prepara
tions for the Centennial Exposition,
without being deeply impressed with
their magnitude, and the Vigor of the
rflbrts now being made in this and
other countries, to bring here for ex
hibition the most wonderful array of
curiosities ever collected in any part of
the world. Of the nrtintic ond indus
trial completeness of the Exposition,
the most gratifying proofs are afforded
by the applications for immense
amounts of space, and the cure taken
in vurlous counties to exclude objects
which full below a high standard of
merit or intrinsic interest The dul,
Hess of the times, instead of injuring
the Exposition, may lead to its im
provement, partly because it affords
to many important workers more
leisure for perfecting collections than
they would have at ordinary periods,
and partly because It increases the in
centive to seek new markets for all
valuable articles. If deficiencies occur
in any department of the Exposition,
they will probably be only such us
may arise from the neglect of some of
the individual States to make adetj uate
provision for the representation of
their industries and resources; and
such defects, however much they may
be regretted, will injure the communi
ties directly interested rather than
diminish the attractiveness of the Ex
position itself. It is very desirable,
however, on mnny nccoulits, that all
portions of this country should lo
well represented, so that the nation ns
a whole, as well as each portion, may
receive due notice and credit .Meek'

Washington, February 11. At last the
Centennial bill, appropriating $1,500,000
is safely through both houses of Congress,
and only awaits the signature of the Presi
dent, wbice it will doubtless receive to
morrow. The debate in the Senate has
been intolerable monotonous, and was ut
terly without excuse in view of the fact
that they all knew that nothing would
have the slightest effect upon the final re
sult. There is necessity fo an amendment
to the Constitution making a man ineligible
for the Senate until he shall have served
two years on the editorial staff of a morning
paper 22x28, and has acquired the art of
getting all the news within that space. If
the sixteen absentees had been present
the vote en the bill to-day would have
stood 49 to 23. The Democrats present
divided equally, eleven on each side.
Cincinnati Februarr 14. The Coroner's
jury in the case of the persons killed at
Robinson's Opera House February 6, re
turned a verdict to-day that the people
came to their death from shook I and in
juries, the result of a stampede caused by
a cry or nre raised during the perfor
mance by a person unknown to (be jury,
and from the over-crowded condition of
the bouse. We find it was almost an lm-
possibility to gain an exit, and under these
circumstances these persons were unable to
escape. The jury express the opinion.thal
bad management was displayed Id placing
so many tickets on sale.
