Mil. Phkbidentand Gknti.kmkn : It
ia my task on thin delightful occasion
to present to you, as beat 1 mnv, some
thing of the pi-ogress and outlook of tho
prcpnrationa for the coming Centennial
celebration. Some three years ago. aa
wo were nearing tho close of tho first
century ot our ..National Independence,
some of those, now in this presence,
without anv aucney of their own, found
themselves surrounded with difficult
duties and irravo respoiisibillies relat
ing to the proper celebration of tho
Centennial anniversary of tho event
that brought our Republic into exist
ence. I think 1 am entirely safe in
saying that thoso duties wore all the
more accoptublo becauso they wore, in
tho main, prescribed by law, and be
causo the coremoniea to which they
related woro to ho "conducted under
tho auspices of tho Government of the
United suites." lAppiauso.jj
Tho propriety of tho patriotic under
taking received tho sanction of Con
itress, and was by that body commended
to tho people as a Hitting mode of do
ing honor to the memory of tho patriots
and soldiers who declared for and gavo
nracUPal cflect to tho pnnciiilo ot sell-
covernmcnt by the establishment of tho
Republic. Tho management thereof
was committed to commissioners from
tho several States and Territories, and
to the Centennial Hoard nf Finance, a
corporation created l.y Congress, and
authorized to raiso capital to' tlio
needed preparations by selling its own
capital stock. Tho ceremonies aro to
bo something mora than the spontane
ous and noisy and impulsive demon
strations so usual on the Fourth of J uly.
They are to bo in a lorm to oxomphly
and show forth the progress and
achievements of the Ropuhlio in tho
first hundred yoars of its existence by
an "exhibition of tho natural resources
of our country and t heir development,
and of its progress in thoso arts which
benefit mankind." In other wordsa
N at ion n I and International Exhibition,
through which shall be seen at a glance
tho nroirrcsa that bas been made in
discoveries and inventions, and in tho
arts and sciences, and in the general
wavs and processes ot human achieve
ments ; showiiifr, also, how In these
things our infant Kepublio compares
with the older nations ot tho world. 1
am suronothingcoiild bo more intensely
interesting than this picture. It will
show bow we used to do things, and
how we do them now. Tho thoughts
of each will return to bis own experi
ence At this moment, 1 doubt not,
those of mv venerable friend on my
right Mr. McMicbaoll are already
winging their way back to the days
of the primitive modes ol the art ol
printing and are comparing the sheep
skio ball, the molasses roller, antl press,
with Hoe's improved press and its ao
coniDanvinit instruments tho folder
and sticker, by which from ten to
twenty thousand impressions are
thrown off and done nn in an hour.
Having commenced the battle of life
with the hand press, It saddens me
somewhat to witness thoir humiliation,
Many a sigh goes up ia theso days of
reckless progress lor the tlmos ana
ways that were. The modo of trans-
portation and travel, how changed I
The i pack-horse and broad-wheeled
wniron have been quite superseded by
tho iron horse.' The lightning linos of
stages that nsed to dash throngti the
country at the reckless rale of throe
and a half miles an hour have fuller,
into disfavor becauso of the railroad
trains moving at ten times that rate of
speed. Ihnthuatasml

There is something of touching
forest in tho retrospect of history. lS'o
Governor of Pennsylvnniaovcr enjoyed
emotions of purer delight than did
Simon Snyder when he congratulated
the people ol tlio btate on the tact inai
a turnpike road had boon constructed
from Philadelphia to Heading, 48 miloa,
and that a bridge had been eroetod
over tho Susquehanna river at Colum
bia. And 1 am sure, Mr. President,
our humble servant was novor bettor
alisflod with the way things were

broad-w boeled wagona in M arkot street,

neighborhood of tho Allegheny Moun
tains, lint natural developments and
progress in djscovories and arts were
not ulwaya welcome. The man who
first brought anthracite coal to Phila
delphia was tiwatod as a meddlesome
iniKwter, and was required to taKO ins
black dirt off the street. The people
of tho State of Now York resisted the
experiments of Fulton and Fitch on
ho Hudson, alleging that their "aiup-
per-dashcr" boat would drivo all the
fish back Into the bay, to the great
privation of the Inhabitants. I re
member that cortain Millerites, who
were hanging on the ragged edgo of I
limo, accepted Morses experiments
with the magnetic telegraph between
Hnltimore and Washington as evidence
hat the world would come to an und
n a few months. I knew at least ono
who maintained that it ought to come
to an end because of man's interference
with mattors which belonged to God

President, by authority of Conurcss, as
you are aware, extended a cordial in
vitation to tho Governments of foreign
countries to bo represented and take
part in tho International Exhibition.
Every one of these,. to the numbor of
luirty-threo, have accepted tne invita
tion, and are making vigorous prepara
tions to participate. Every Govorn-
monton this Continent, great and small,
will be represented; also, all tho great
nations ot hurope and the Asiatic and
Oriental countries. Tho foreign out

moBt delightful incidents or develop

Great cheering from all purls of tho
hull, waving of bandkorchiefa, clapping
of hands, the immense audienco finally
yielding to a very general impulse, and
manifesting their appreciation of the
co-ojierution of Great Itritain by rising
to their teot as ono man and joining
in tho tumult of applause. A gentle
man then proposed three cheers for

spondod to with three deafening shouts,

11 is generally an American's weak
ness, when ho invests money, to inquire
bow much he is likely to gut back, and
in this case I am safe in saying, that as
everything will belong to tho stock
holders and as but little over half the
capital will be represented by stock, it
is estimated by thoso who know nest
that 60 per cent, will bo paid hack nn

But there are other results that I am
sure will be realised. J he educating
influence of the Centennial Ceremonies
will be worth more to our people than
tho total cost doubled and trebled. Ita
harmonizing influence, Nationnl and
International, cannot be estimated by
dollars and cents Cheers it must

Tho Commissoner of Pensions hits
finished his annual report, which shows
that thero nro on tho pension rolls
2.T4,B21 pensioners, a deereaso of 1,420
from Inst year. They are classitiud aa
follows: Army invalids, 100,478; wid
ows and dependent relatives, 104,831) ;
survivors of tho war of 1H12, lS.STS ;
widows of soldiers of 1812, S.10'3 ; nuvy
invalids, l.Gliti; widows and dependent
relatives of navy officers and seamen,
1,784. More than cloven per cent, ot
the soldiers of 1812 died last year. The
amount appropriated lor army pensions
was 1:11,500,000, of which 111,718,4:13
were paid to invalid soldiers and for
artificial limbs ; $15,525,734 to widows
and dependent relatives ; $333,000 to
widows of soldiers of 1812, leaving an
unexpended balance of $337,2.11, which
has been covered into tho' Treasury.
Tho appropriation for navy ponsions
was $55,000, of which but $31,(151
was expended. Commissioner Atkin
son estimates that a reduction of $500,
000 can ba safely mado on the appro
priation for next year. '1 horo aro now
pending nearly forty thousand claims
u n anted upon, mostly on account of
lack of clerical nssistanco, which causes
much dissatisfaction among applicants.
Tho Commissioner recommends addi
tions to tho clerical foreo. Jjegislntion
is asked to define sufficient proof of
marriage of pensioners widows, so as
to make cvidenco of cohabitation suffi
cient to drop pensioners from the rolls.
Large numbers of pensioned widows
are known to bo cohabiting with men
whom tho Department cannot provo to
bo tboir lawful husbands, hence no
authority exists to drop their names.
During lust year (175 applications lor
bounty land were made, and 407 war
rants woro issued calling for (j.3,500
acres of land. Tho Commissioner rcc
ommcndstlioabolishniontof the present
system of examining surgeons, and the
appoint ment of sixty fi rat-class su rgeons
at fixed salorics, who will give tliuir
time to the service. He thinks this a
measure of economy, and one which
wilfYacilitato the payment of pension
ers. Fifteen hundred and thirty clnims
were investigated by special agents, of
which three hundred and nine were
found to bo fraudulent. Two hundred
and forty-three pensioners were drop
ped on evidence of fraud, resulting in
saving nearly $150,000. Ovorl(,000
were recovered Irom those wno havo
been drawing pensions fraudulently.
The Commissioner thinks tho knowl
edge that an etllciunt secret scrvico
exisU prevents a largo amount of fraud
ulent claims being presented, and rec
ommends tho reorganization and en
largement of the service on tuo plan
now in o,xrntion iu tho Treasury and

recommended to uuthorixo tho annual
pnblicUion of lists of pensioners resid
ing in each county, publication to be
mado in tho paper having tho largest
circulation, and that printed lists be
posted in court rooms and other promi
nent plncos, which would expose many
cases ol Iraud. ,
Silent Men. Washington never

framing the Constitution ol too t linen

performed in Committee ol the W hole,
of which Georgo Washington was tho
Chairman ; but ho mado two speeches
during the Convention, which were
of a very few words each.' The Con

and built of wood, like most houses

and luuL'tiilicont in finish. It strike
ono as being tho residence of a gentle
man of unlimited means and renne
mcnt. Everything about it Is ncnt.
The furniture is rich mid elegant, but
quiet in design und color; the library
is filled with well selected books, and
tho pictures aro works of art Tho
only effort at display tbut seems to
have been made is observable in a car
riage block which stands on the curb
in front of the grand doorway. This
block Is of white marble, and bears in
glaring gilt a tastefully arranged mon
ogram, formed of the letters
"J. .M."
"J. M." stumls for John Miller, lute
Secretary of the Contract and Finance
Company, whoso remarkable defalca
tions, running through a scries of years,
have been the talk of the Pacific coast
for a month past.
In many respects Miller is one of tlio
most rcmarkiiblo criminals on record,
and certainly one of tho most auda
cious scamps ever fostered by tho Pa
cific coast. Scraps of his history huvo
from time to time boon published, but
nothing like a connected narrative of
his villainy bos yet appeared. He had
lived hero from eight to ton years,
highly respocted and courted by tho
best society. Ho was gentlemanly in
his manners and in his business a per
fect giant llo was a pillar in one ot
our leading churches, and a few wocks
lieforo the crash came which hurlod
him from his pedestal, wua chosen Su
perintendent of its Sunday school. He
bud worked his way from a clerk f
tho Contract and r inance Company tc
t ho ollico of seeretury at a salary of
110,000 a year, gold, and was regarded
in a business point of view as the peer
ot Manford, Hopkins, Crocker and oil)
era who form tho Central Pacific com-
I binntion.
besides tho f 10.000 income he was
known to be rich and to havo married
a lady in Sacramento who had likewise
a large fortune. Hence his luxurious
homo and thoovidencoofwculth around
him excited no other comment on tho
part of his neighbors than that Miller's
lines were cost in pleasant places.
A SUDDEN CRASH.
Ono day there camo a littlo voice
into Lcland Stanford's privato office
which spake a word or two into his
cur. ueioro tho evening ol tne next.
I day Mr. StiinRud knew that John Mil
lers numo was not John Miller but A
it. wooumn, mui no uuu a wue living
in Lynchburg, Va., and that every dol
lar of his wealth had been stolen from
tho Contract mid Finance Comnanv.
Such a revelation created a flutter in
tho Central Pocilio office, but tho so
orut wuS well guarded. Stanford and
Crocker at onco went to work to in
vestigate the actual extent of the de
falcation, lliev honed to do this with
out arousing Miller's suspicion, but
tailed. Ono day he came to Mr. Stan
ford and said quietly that ho was not
fooling well and ho believed ho d run
up to the MeC'loud river and catch
some trout
Repairing to his mansion he packed
a small valise antl asked his wife to
niitko ready to accompany him as far
as nacrumunto. the next morning
both went to Sacramento.
Meanwbilo an examination of Miller's
accounts was begun, and the first thing
tho expert struck was a talso entry ol
$10,000. Then Stanford know Ihe fish
ing trip was a blind. The telegraph
was set to work to catch tho tugitivo
Kvory train on every road under Cen
tral Pacific control was boarded, hut
for a long time Miller could not be
found. Accident, however, brought
him in contact with a baggage master
at Marysvillo who knew him and point
ed him out to the conductor. Ins ar
rest quickly followed. Ho took mat
tors vory coolly, saying he guessed
there must bo sonic mistake. He was
taken to San Francisco and confronted
with Stanford and Crocker. Altor a
brief interview, ho asked to seo his
wife. An officer was detailed to escort
him to bis house. Arriving there, Mil
ler asked permission lo retire a mo
mont. When ho returned ho whisper
ed a word lo his heart broken wile,
and she quietly wont out of the room.
In a moment alio returned, und to
Miller's great dismay exhibited and
to the officer a package containing
113,000 in greenbacks, over $75,000 in
United Stales bonds, and a lot ol val-
uiililo paper belonging to the company
which he had taken Irom his person
and told his wife to secure. Alter this
evidenco that Mrs. Miller refused to be
party to his crime, Millar sunk in his
chair and meekly asked to be taken
back to tho railroad office.
tlEAVY bKrALCATrONS.
Tho cine onco struck tho export at
work on Millor's books rapidly unearth
ed a deep mine of rascality. The ori
ginal $10,000 defalcation grew in an
hour to $100100. Tho next dny it
swelled to $200,000, und the affair bo
camo the sensation of tho hour. Fi
nally, Miller contcsKod all, and set about
making restitution. Ho turned over
hundreds of thousands of dollars, but
still tho daily reports of the expert
called for more. H inally the now house
wont, and block after block of city real
estate, improve! and unimproved, was I
made over to tho railway company.
Whon tho oxport had finally finished
his work it was found that the extent
of M il lor's peculations exceeded $ 1 ,000,
000 in the space nf five yours. The
amount of pro'ierty offered in restitu
tion exceeded one million and a half,
but as most of it was reul estalo in
rapidly improving localities tho com
pany accepted it in full reimbursement
of their loss. They also, so far as was
in thoir power, granted Immunity to
the defaulter, tins being done to pre
vent t he possibility of exposing tho af
fairs of tho Contract and Finaure Com
pany in court an event likely to prove
disastrous to mora than one reputation
on this coast.
Till ROMANOV OP MILLER'S CAREER.
Thus tar tho history of this defatil-
tor differs but little from that of other
gentry of the same ilk. Hut in other
crimes bigamy anil that of living for
years under a bogus identity Miller's
case surpasses that of any other in cool
audacity anil boldness ol design.
Simultaneously with the discovery
of bis peculations came that of the
fact that bis nsme was not John Millor
but A. It. Woodruff, ami that he for-
mcrmerly lived in Lynchburg, Va.,
where he had a wife and one or two
children. His family wore in ignor
ance that ha was living In Han rran
oisco as John Miller, but believed that
aa A. It. Woodruff ho was a prosperous
wool trrowor In Aslralia. for every
Australian steamer brought them a
letter full of love and stTootton finn" a
fifty pound note. By means of a friend
in Australia Miller kept up this decep
tion without difficulty.
his two wrvts.
Ono day he and wife No. 2 were re
turning from Lake Tehoe. They bad
a compartment in the palace car from
Summit Tho station there is in the
anow sheds, and therefore the interior
of the car was somewhat dark. The
train ran down the mountain for an
hour or eo and presently left tho snow
sheds behind and emerged into tho
light. Miller left the compartment to
gut his wifo a glass of water. As be
passed through the car be saw in a
section wife No. 1, with her father and
sister, on their way to San Francisco
on a pleasure trip. The recognition
was mutual, tvue no. 1 ncuny mint
ed with delight Quick as a flash, he
formed his determination what to do.
Two circumstances favored him. Wife
No. 2 was in her stateroom reading a
book and out of sight. Nobody in the
car knew him, and this fortified him.
Ho kissed wife No. 1 with great ardor
and shook hands with the old gentle
man. Thca he asked to be excused
for just an instant There woro some
gcntlomen in another part of the car
with whom he had lull some unfinished
business. Then he wont to wile No. 2
and soon made an excuse for another
briof absence. Then he went back and
sat down by wifo No. 1, and a happy
reunion was enacted, lie said that ne
bad arrived from Australia only a few
days before. That ho bud some busi
ness with somo California wool men
hich had detained him for a few days ;
that he was then going homo to sur-
Erise and delight bis wife, and make
or comfortable and happy for the re
mainder of her days. Ho had not
writton her because be wanted to sur
prise her. He hod got rich in Austra
lia, bill still ho had to return as soon
as possible.- Her coming to California
was a most fortunate circumstance, for
now ho could see her without going
East. They could bo happy tor a week
or ten days, antl then he could sail on
the same steamer he camo on instead
of waiting for the next, which left a
month later. Wile No. 1 demurred at
this, but Miller, knowing that be could
not keep up tho deception for a month,
insisted that ho should sail in ton days.
KVAD1NQ WIPE NO. 2.
As tho train sped along Miller while
chatting with the coolness of Mephis
topheles, was hatching a plan to get
wife No. 2 out of tho car without wife
No. l's seeing her. Wife No. 2 wanted
to stop at Sacramento antl go to San
Francisco by a later train. He men
tally resolved that wifo No. 1 and her
party should not go to Sun Francisco
at all if he could prevent it. o he at
onco told her be had some important
business in Sacramento, and must stop
over there that night Of course she
and her party must stop too. Wife
No. 1 consented. Wifo No. 2 was
managed just as skillfully. Tho train
makes a stop of twenty minutes at
Sacramento. Sho was asked to keep
her seal in the compartment mud he
could get a carriage to tako her to a
friend's house. Whun the train stop
ped Miller hastened wife No. 1 and
party out of the rear end of tho car,
shoved them hastily into a carriage
and told the driver to take them to the
hotel. Then he got wifo No. 2 out, put
her in a carriage, and sent her to her
friends, saying be would call for her at
train lime. This gave him a breathing
spell, which hecniployod in porfecting
bis plans to evade detection. Theso
were subsequently carried out and so
well was everything managed thut
wifo No. 2 never suspected anything
and wile No. 1 never dreamed that her
husband was anybody but A. 11. Wood
ruff, and thut his Australian story was
not true.
Miller's house was just finished whon
this occurred, and tho next two weeks
wore to he occupied by wifo No. 2 in
getting the house ready. He told her
that ho would relieve her of his pres
ence by going off for a week to tho
Yoscmito. To wife No. 1 ho suid that
More going back to Australia ho want
ed to go to tho Ynsemito, and as they
would doubtless like the trip, ho would
tako them. They all went and on the
trip or soon alter, Miller made wilu INo.
1 a present of $(,0,000 in United States
bonds "a part of the fortune lie had
made iu Australia."
ANOTHER NARROW ESCAPE. '
Hut the presence of wifo No. 1 was
still fraught with more danger. On
their return from tho losennte, and
immediately before wife No. 1 returned
to tho East", site insisted upon staving
a few days In r-an rrancisco. Jhcy
put up at the Lick House. Fortunate
iy wile No. 1 did not like Sur. Francis
co, so to Miller's great relief she cut
her stay short, llcloro going ho took
her to a dry goods store and bought
her $1500 worth of goods. Subse
quently tho billl was sent to Miller's
house, and fell into tho hands of wife
N o. 2. to whom it was a cause ol alarm,
lint Miller quieted her by saying that
ho had only ordered tho goods tor the
wife of a friend of his in Portland, Or
egon, and the bill was mado nut iu his
namo by mistake.
And so Miller struggled to maintain
his position. His full was a terrible
blow to the prido of Stanford, Hunt
ington, Hopkins and the rest of the
Central Pacific ling.
Melixiw Soil Around Trees. Un
less the surface of the ground is mulch
ed around young trees over an area of
six to ten feet in diameter, the ground
should he kopl clean and mellow.
Every farmer knows that a hill of corn
or potatoes win not amount to nnicii
unless cultivated, and yet, there are
many who will neglect to give tlio
same care to a tree which is worth a
hundred bills of either of the former.
In rich soil, trees may grow rapidly
without cultivation, and no amount of
grass or weeds will retard them ; but
there are other things Dosidcs growin
to bo looked aflor. If the weeds and
grass are allowed lo grew up around
the stems of annle. peach or ouince
trees, the bark will bocoms soft near
their base by being shaded, and there
by bo in a suitable condition for the
reception of the eggs which will event
ually become peach or apple borers.
Tako any duxen young applo trees in
the sections where tho apple-borer is
abundant, and allow a portion to be
choked with weeds and tne remainder
well cultivated, and then watch the
result. From our own experience, we
believe that the chances are aine to one
in favor of those cultivated being ex
empt from this pest HVfrrji Farmer.

Moody and Siinkey aro "plain pco

Moody is not ot scholarly habit Ho
docs not poAutcsa a trained mind. In
thought ho is narrow and shallow. In
lunguage, his vocahulury is meagre.
Ho is not gitted.wilh eloquence of any
sort He has n very limited power of
ratiocination. He is almost wholly
destitute ol the fuculty of imagination,
and his only illustrations are stories
which, though sometimes toucuingiy
told, arc of vury poor quulity as stories,
llo never studied doctrinal theology,
and is not at u It conversant wilh the
mooted questions of Biblical interpre
tation, lletlocsnot seem to beamanof
marked ability, natural or acquired, in
any direction, and w o have not bocn
nblo to discover in him any such force
of character as could help to account
for his success. There is nn ill-defined
sort of thing called personal magnet

tho secret of individual influence; but
so fair us wo have ever found out what
is implied by that term, and bo fur as

John Wesley and Georgo Whitfield
were st-holaa und theologians, men of
eminent niieiieci anu ptwttesseu ui nieui
powers of eloquence. Whitfield was a
consummate orator, nan a glowing im
agination ami moved the vast multi
tudes whom he addressed through
forces which ore appreciable by tho
human mind. Wesley was not only a
man of rich speech, but had tho very
gem
eniuH ol a t urnot tor organization.
Furthermore, both of them were men
! of great natural force and striking per-
sonal character. Tho celebrated revi
of whom bas recently been operating
in tho Western States. Knapp was a
rude man, an extravagant sensational
ist of tlio most excitablo and exciting
kind, and won such success as he had,
among jieoplo -who were liable to bo
carried away by his appeals. About
Hammond we know less, though wo
understand that his power is principally
over children, who are easy victims to
aentimcntality and terror. Finney, tho
most notable of thoso named, wrought
out great results in his lime. Asadi-
i vino ho was learned In theology and
metaphysics, belonged to tho school of
high Calvinism, aim possessed a logical
faculty of such extmordinury potency
that, when once he got bold ol an au
dienco by mcuns of il every sinner be
fore him was seized with a feeling of
abject helplessness and despair. Wo
havo seen him grapple with a multi
tude till they seemed pnralyr.ed. Ho
would Bet out with what appeared lo
be an obvious proposition, and, if you
admitted it or were in a pnssivoorpli
ahlo stuto of mind, ho would wind tho
unyielding chain of logic around your
soul till resistanoo was impossible
Then he would mako such a display of
Divine vengennco ami tho terrors of
, the law as drovo tho shrinking soul to
prostrate ilself before the Cross. Wo
should look to Brclhcr Moody in vntn
for any srlch powers as belonged to
Whitfield, Wesley, Finney, and other
successful revivalists.
Mr. Moody is an earnest and sincere
man, and a firm believer in his ow n
words. This is undoubtedly tmo, and
il is often snid to account tor tho im
pressions ho produces. If these quali
ties were not possessed or exhibited by
other preachers, wo might regard them
as the causes of Moody's success. Hut
i no ono will assert this te be the fact.
I Wo are ready to admit that somo
thiiifrs may be explained on the ground
that lie possesses them in an unusual de
gree, llo is deeply in earnest; ho is
nlircly sincere; his faith is wholly be
yond doubt; he aims directly nt the
heart ; he believes that Divine power
is working through him. Ho deals
with only tho fundamental ideas of re
ligion repentance, faith and tho lovo
of God. lie handles them as a practi
cal man, who knows the nature and
i ,. of bis fellow men. llu has n

their dramatic character. W e mean
such features as tho sudden call for si
lent prayer, the peculiar singing of
Ssnkey, the requests to anxious sinners
to stand up, the jubilant shouts of pi

reqnesU for special intercession with
Heaven. We do not undervalue these
manifestations when we say that tome
of them are peculiarly dramatic ami
sensnlional.
