PRVS1DKNT PALMES. Hon. Thomas W^therell Palmer, the President of Jihe World’s Fair Columbi an Commission, was born in Detroit. Mich., June 23, 1830, being now in tne prime of life. He comes from New En gland by descent, his father, Thomas Palmer, haviugbeen born .in tbe town f Ashford, Windham county,.Conn., in 1789. Thomas Palmer emigrated to the West and in 1809 was carrying on a in a convent, the one selected being that near Baltimore, Md. From the quiet of the convent Miss Honore step ped into a field of conquest. Her men tal acquirements and inherited grace and refinement soon gave her an en viable position in society. In 1871 she married Potter Palmer, one of Chi cago’s representative and wealthy cit izens, ana has since then resided in Chi cago. She has travelled much, and has a wide acquaintance among both the wise and fashionable people of two con tinents. Her contributions to city and State .charities, while large, are sur passed by the good she privately does. Mr9. Potter Palmer is well calculated to adorn and fill the office to which she has been called, and her known energy, combined with her acknowledged exec utive ability, presages that the Board of Lady Managers under her guidance will accomplish much.

A colonnade with a cafe at either end forms £the length between Machinery and Agri cultural Hall, and in tbe centre of this colonnade is an arcbway lead g tx> tbe cattle exhibit. From this portico there will be a view nearly a mile in length down the lagoon.

Tbe general design is In till style oT the French re naissance, and it will be a dignified and beautiful specimen of architecture as be fits its position and purpose among tbe various structures by which it will be surrounded. The flrst great story will be in tbe Doric order, of heroic propor tions, surrounded by a lofty balustrade and having tbe great tiers of the angle of each pavilion crown ed with sculpture. The second.story with its lofty and spacious colounaoe, will be of the. Ionic order. Externally tbe design may be divided in its height into three principal stages The first stage consists ol tbe four pa vilions, corresponding in height with the various bui dings grouped about it whicb are about sixty-five feet high. The second stage, which is of tbe same height, is a continuation of the central rotunda 175 feet square, snrrounded on all sides by an open colonnade of noble proportions, it being 20 feet wide and 40 feet high, with columns four feet in ■ liameter. This colonnade is reached by staircases and elevators from the fou principal halls and is interrupted at the angles by corner pavilions, crowned with domes and groups of st tuary The third st&^e consists of tbe Jase of the great dome, 30 feet height, and octagonal in form, and the dome itself, rising within graceful liues.richly ornamented with heavily moulded ribs and sculp tural panels and having a large sky light of glass to light the interior.

He was ap pointed by President Jefferson Judge uf-ihe Territory of Michigan, and in his official capacity became acquainted with th» celebrated Chief Tecumseh, for whose good qualities be bad the highest appreciation. Judge Wether- ell was more intimately associated with the early history of Detroit than any other man. benator Palmer has every reason to feel proud of such an an cestry. He received his education at St. Clair College and the University of Michi gan, graduating at thg: la, ter institu- ioa. He made witfi some friends a pe destrian tour through Spain, and thus become familiar with a people and country to whiob he was later accredi ted as minister from the United States On bia return he entered into mer cantile life in Wisconsin and later in Detroit, where be has since re- idel, securing to himself the un versal good will and esteem of his fel low citizens of both citv and State. He became active in State politics, serving as a member of tbe Board of Estimates and also as State Senator. He was elected United States Senator A“ PROJECTED RAILROAD. To Run Through South Carolina to the Gulf. Dr. Ed Newton received a letter on yesterday from Mr. W. A. Gaines of the enterprising town of Mt. Carmel South Carolina. He says that the upper Caroliniens very much nerd and are now trying to secure railroad connections with the Gulf section of Floaida. They are endeavoring to secure a route from Asheville,North Carolina by Greenville, Abbeville, Mt. Carmel, South Carolina and Washington, Mil- ledgeville, Gordon, East-man and Du pont Georgia, and Gainesville F lorida. Theii plan is to arrange with exist ing lineson the route, as far as possible build necessary links so as to start early and have the largest possible line on the least capital. , Many cities on the proposed route are now interesting themselves in the pro jected plan and with a little enterprise on their part the road will be assured. It is hoped that Athens will interest herself in this enterprise, the success of whicb means a great deal. There will be a railroad convention in Milledgeville in a few weeks, and it is hoped that a committee of citizens will meet with them to consider tbe matter. Any information concerning the matter will gladly be furnished by Mr. Gaioes, chairman of the corresponding committee. and an obelisk and fountain in the la-1 from Michigan and served six years to goon will form this vista. tbe southern point of ,arge sculptured eagles and among the g^Tcars.

The aunex will cover nearly nine acres. It will be entered by tunnel-* and bridges from the machinery ball ind tbe administration, mines and transportation buildings. It is to be a simple building, built of wood in an economic manner. Its ty\ e is that of a mill or foundry. Its shape, however, is peculiar. It is to be annular in form, the diameter being 800 feet. In tbe inner circle will be a park in which visitors, fatigued by tbe hum of machinery, may rest. The an nular form chiefly commends itself be cause tbe circle of tbe electrical elevat ed railway can run constantly around the entire nave, and passengers in it can thus see the Exposition without tbe great advantage of bia native state and the interests of tbe great West. Senator Palmer was elected President of the Water-Ways Convention, held in Sault Ste. Mariq under the auspices of t he Duluth Chamber of Commerce, in August, 1887, to consider tbe condition of affairs resulting from the increase of commerce between Lake Superior and the lower lakes, an important position, whicb he filled with much credit. In 1989 he received his appointruant as Minister Plenipotentiary and Efivoy Extraordinary to the Court of Spain, connected to him with memories of his youth, and now for tbe third time brought so closely to his atten tion as presiding officer of the Nation al Commission in the 400th anniversa ry of the discovery of America by Spanish citizen.

Attached to ibis great annex will be tbe powerhouse, containing the tremen dous display of boilers, while in the ad joining portion of the annex building will be established the voluminous plant of engines and dynamos.

The Great Yale-Harvard Race Over the Thames Course—The Record as it Stands—Scenes 'Along the River During the .Contest. ^ New London, Conn., June 27.—The sixteenth annual four mile, eight oared, straightaway race between Yale and Harvard university crews was rowed over the Thames course from Winthrop point to Gale’s ferry, and was won by Harvard by eleven lengths. Time, 21:23. Yale’s time, 21-J57. The record now stands: Yale, nine victories and seven defeats; Harvard, seven victories and nine defeats. The Yales hold the time and record. Har vard's plucky victory is the biggest sur prise that bas occurred in college ath letics for many years. Good jndges of rowing conceded the race to^Yale,almost to a man, and so strong was this senti ment in favor of Yale that stacks of Yale money left at the poolrooms went une vered, even at odds of $100 to $70 and $100 to $60.

Let me tell you some- bing. One of your number, a handsome young socu ty man, said to me with something very like a sneer : “The girls would dance; it was tbe r fault. If they could not gel a man to dance with they would dance with each other.” Do y..u like that? I don’t. I feel resentful, but knew tbat you de- served it.

London, June 27.—The Marquis de Leuville, the erstwhile suitor for the hand and heart of Mrs. Frank Leslie, is being sued by his late manager.

The fact is that the uoble max- qnis keeps a shop in Piccadilly for the sale of bric-a-baac. The present plaintiff was formerly manager of the marquis’s shop, and he alleges that he was dis missed without cause. The court has re ferred the question to arbitration. Two Negroes Shot to Death. Dangerfield, Tex., Jana 27.—News has just reached here that two negroes living in Cass county, ten miles from this place, named Will Hartsfield and Mann Sheppard, were taken ont and shot to death by unknown parties. There is no clew to the guilty parties. Sheppard had a notoriously bad reputation and was a very troublesome negro, and this is the supposed cause of his being shot. all.
