The English pulpit and press are outspoken in their denun- ciation of the Prince and assert that he is morally unfit to aspire to the English throne. TAKING the several States that voted appropriations to the Centennial in 1576, and the same ones now we find the amounts appropriated for the World's Fair in 15868 to be considerably larger, some having increased their appropria. tions ten per cent., while others have gone still higher. The State of Min. nesota leads so far. In 1876 she appro- priated 8500 while for 1503 she has agreed to furnish £50,000 to properly represent herself. This shows that the country is growing and the World's Fair will be a far greater exposition in every way than was the Centenial. — por Gov, Pattison has vetoed the bill wppropriating #24000 for the expense ff committee, that traveled about the State for the purpose of visiting various public institutions. "It no doubt is a fact that when the people send their representatives to Harrisburg these fellows always are after some scheme for having a good time at the expense of the public; and one of the schemes is to travel about the State as members of committees—the taxpayers to pay the bills. The last session was especially noted for this and weare glad to see the (rovernor put a check to it by #ttaching his veto the appropriation for the expen- ses incurred. —— LAsT Fall when Senator Delamater was hauled over the State in a parlor car the people trampled one another in order to get near enough to the then spotless candidate to touch his garments Now, according to the testimony of Geo. A. Jenks, before the Supreme Court, parties have even threatened to take his life. This Is a wonderful change inside his own ranks to have so used ns friends that they are almost tetupted to take human life for satis faction. The people of this State, as a whole, no doubt pity Mr. Delamater, today, but they can't show enough of hatred for the bosses who lured him on in his steulings, hoping to cover it up by State funds when their candidate for Governor had been properly seated. lm a—— SPEAKING of the Keystone Bank wreck and the enormous defaleation of the City Treasurer, the Philadelphia Ledger says: “Throughout the whole of it, in the practice of both city and "state, the dominating principle seems to have been that the city and State funds should be so placed-—should be #0 held | as to do the most good-—not to the tax. payers—not to the state as a corpora. tion—not to the city asa commonwealth ~not to the people at large, but the most good to some chosen officer or to the friends. or the particular political The last letter received explained how the prisoner other of the crime.

He finally went down and said he was willing to go back to Bellefonte "any time.

He says: “I shall not trouble about the matter, as I have made up my mind to step aside. Of course I shall take an active interest in the contest, and do all I can to bring success.

An observant man says that he has discovered a fly destroyer that discounts all the fly paper and fly poisons that have yet been put into use. Last spring he went into the country and brought back with him when he returned a num. ber of bunches of clover blossoms. He hung them up in his rooms to orne ment the walls, The clover dried and since then he says not a fly would stay in the room.
