It is expect ed that over three hundred thousand teachers will attend the Fair. There are two hundred and fifty public school buildings in the city which might be used for the accommodation of visiting teachers at a charge merely sufficient to cover actual expenses. The plan meets with much favor. The census bulletin of the popula tion of the United Seates shows an in crease during the last ten years of 25.GG prr cent, among the males and 21.02 among the females. This is about the usual proportion, and yet people will insist that there are more births of girls than boys. The reverse Is true. The reason there Is usually an excess of women of a marriageable age is because the number of men Is decreased by war, accident and emi gration. A curious case has come up In Bos ton. The Supreme Court recently granted an order restrainieg a well- known firm of aare book-dealers from disposing of certain letters and docu ments signed by George Wagliington, Lafayette, Queen Aone, the Earl of Sunderland, Thomas Jefferson and other historic charachters.. The in junction was granted at the instance of the secretary of State of Virginia, who asserts that these papers belong to the archives of that State* The de fendant owners, who offered the papers for sale, make the remarkable defense that the treasures were taken from the State while it was in a state of reb llion, and that it forfeited all rights to i he property by going to war with the general Government. Many people imagine that Mr. Cleveland has received an almost un precedented honor in being nominated a third time for the Presidency. But there have been numerous instances of similar honors in the history of the Republic. Joho Adams received elec toral votes tor the Presidency in 17S0, 1795,179G and 1800. All these elec tions were before the Twelfth amend ment to the constitution was vdopted. So that in the first two elections he was really voted lor with a view to the vice-Presldency. John Jay received votes in 17*0,1796 and 1800. Thomas Jefferson received votes in i792, 1796 1800 and 1S04, being elected in the last two years mentioned. George Clinton received votes In 1789, 1792 and 1796, and in 1808. He was electen Vice- President in 1804 and 1S03. Charles C. Pinckney received votes for President in 1797, ~ 1S00, 1S04 and ISOS. Aron Barr received votes in 1792, 1796 and 1S00, becoming Vice-Presidcet the last- named year. John Qaincy Adams ras a candidate In 1820. 1824 (when he was elected) and in 1S2S. Andrew Jackson was a candidate in 1S24, 1S2S and 1332—being successful in the last two, and receiving more electoral votes (though not a majority of the whole) than apy other candidate^ in 1S24. Henry Clay was a candidate In 1824,1832 and 1S44. And Martin Van Buren was a candidate in 1836 when he was elected, in 1S40 when he was defoated by William Henry Harrison, and in 1848, as a Free boiler, when he received no electoral votes. Since Van Buren no man has received the nomination for President the third time until Mr. Cleveland was so hon ored Thursday morning at Chicago. . Until the discoveries of the bones of the cave-dwellers and the drift men oi it was quite frequently assumed that the men of ancient times were taller and stronger than those of the present day. Poets wrote about the giants, and nursery tales abounded in advent ures of races compared to which our people are pigmies. As a matter of fact, no skeleton of the prehistoric period appears to have belonged to a man whose stature was equal to that of our tallest men. Some skeletons found on the Mediterranean coast seemed to have tormed part of men whose hfght was six feet; bat by far the greater number of bones found In the drift in France, Germany and Belgium belonged to men who were about five feet six, and whose strength, judging from )helr arm and legbones, must have been less than that of the strong men ot the present day. The chances are that the intellectual force of our ancestors was as inferior to the Intellectual force of the existing races as their physical force. In works of pure imagination and of abstract philosphy mankind has perhaps made but little progress within the historic period. It is difficult to detect actual advance between Tennyson and Victor Hugo on one^ side, and Job, Ezekiel, Homer and Horace on tbe other. Nor can any particular march of intellect be observed by a compari son between the leading metaphysi cians of today and Aristotle and Plato. But in every other branch of human thought there is marked progress, and such rapid progress that text-baoks become antiquated and obsolete in less than a century. This is not only the case in the exact Ecleiices In which the course of discovery necessarily effaces past theory, but also in such branches of knowledge as law, ethics political economy and social science, in which progress implies growing develop ment of tbe human mind. At tbe very time when Shakespeare was giv ing voice to thoughts, which are as true now as when be uttered them, the English people bad no share iu their own government; debtors starved to death in pdison, men* were immured io jail for a lifetime without a trial, women bad no lawful names, towns had no drains, ignorance was no fault, vice scarcely shame, and nobody com plained of these things. Their enor mity was not realized even by the clearest-headed men of the day. Sure ly tt is imposing on public credulity to say that the reforms which have taken place in these vital matters do not imply an adyance in brain-power. We need not go back to Shakespeare for proof that mankind Is growing wiser and braver and kinder with each generation. He who reads McMas- ter’s history is amazed to find how narrow-minded and bigoted and sel fish and hard-hearted and Bliort-Blgh-t ed Americans were only a century ago. At the very lime when Washington and bis compeers were laying the foundation of the best government the world had ever known the masses of the American people were in many parts of the country living In a sav agery which cannot be paralleled today outside of Russia. Women died for want of maternity; debtors poked their beads out of holes called prisons in Connecticut and begged the way farer for a crust os bread; slaves held their lives and the honor of their daughters at the mercy of their own ers; newspapers reviled the best men in the land in the foulest billingsgate; the cripple and the blind were often left to starve uuless they chanced to meet a good Samaritan. Some of these things might happen anywhere, even at the present time, but then they were matters of common occurrence, elicited little or no outcry, nor attracted much attention. Doe« not tbe disap pearance of these infamies simply growth in moral and mental and men tal stature? Whoever may hold to the contrary, the world is growing better every year that rolls over. Errors still rears its head, crimes occur, injustice is practiced, the weak are siill sometimes crashed to the wall, tbe base still oc casionally rise to the surfaoe ot the social wave, but all these wrongs arouse indignant protest from the masses, and tn honest men’s breasts a longing to cure them fiercely burns. It will be time to say that the march of progress has stopped when we find that things base and vile and shameful rouse no indignation. A noonon 66 GOLD PIECE. Quite BarePfstr. TlisnrbBrlgbam Tshi misted 1,000.000 af TIi County Commissioner Ballard of Saa Francisco Is the possessor of a rare and curious gold coin, which fell into his hands in California in 1819. It Is a Mormon $5 niece, and for many years has been employed as a charmer or bangle on Mr. Ballard’s fob chats The owner was bimself a lorty- nlner. and took part in the scenes of the early gold excitement in Califor nia. He says that the Mormons, who were among tbe earliest in the gold fields, re tarred to Salt Like with great quantities of the precious yel low dost. Much gold also found las way to Utah through other avenues. Brigham Young, who was at that time running a llttlb government in bis own account, established a mint and coined probably $1,000,090 in $5 gold pieces. Ehese coins soon found their way to California and passed current. At that enrly date, Mr. Bal lard says, the coins were welcomed as a great convenience in matters of ex change. The metal in the coins was unalloyed—so soft and pure in fact, that it wore sway very rapidly. On this account they soon disappeared from circulation almost as rapidly as they bad appeared. On one side of Hr. Ballard’s relic are two clasped hands, probably symbolic of brotherly love, while around tbe margin are the letters: “G. S. L. C. P. G.,” standing for “Great Salt Lake Californ Pure Gold.” Below the clasped bauds are the words: “Five dollars” and tbe date, **1849.” On tbe other side in tbe center of the coin, is tbe All-seeing Eye, and below that beehive, while around the margin are these words: “Holliness to tbe Lord.” Mr. Ballard has had some trouble keeping bis coin. Once he accidently lost the keepsake, bat was lucky enough to find It again. Another time a thief got into his house and took all the money from bis pocketbook except this old-looking coin, which, at glance, resembles a trank check. This was more than twenty years ago. Mr. Aallard then attached it to bis morocco fob chain, which is anchored to an old- fashioned silver watch, the movement of which is alBO' dated 1849. Another of these rare coins is preserved in the National museum at Washington.— New York Recorder. Their iu tense uevoilon to ••duty” puts the Tam many! tea in a new role. It is a fortunate thing that tbe laws about speculation do not f pply to po litical speculations. The trouble with some people is that they mistake a pung of dispepsia for a ewioge of conscience. With one swoop tbe Chicago con vention swept Candidate Stevens’ lit tle straw platform from under him. What kind of a Democrat Is he now? MB. CLEVELAND’S FRIENDS. There are some facts In connection with tbe nomination of Mr. Cleveland which it may be interesting to note just at this time. In the first place he was the overwhelming choice of the plain people of his party. Every effort of disaffected politicians and newspapers to persuade the masses that some other name would be more potent In the struggle for success at the pools proved unavailing.- Even when Mr. Wattereoo, whose words of advice have always had great weight Id tbe councils of his party, took sud den fright and wrote hysterically of tbe unwisdom of nominating Mr. Cleveland, he was as one beating the air. It tired him and it tired every body else, but it» did nothing more. The current could not be stayed. T11 popular will, tbe popular demand of the party were for the ex-President, and the more tbe small body of the disaffected shouted Us disapproval, the firmer the masses stood, tbe more determined their demand became. Tbe popular desire for Cleveland’s renominatiou so early manifested itself and was so distinct in its expres sion that but for the purely factitious diversion crerted in New York by Mr. Hill and his pertect machine, there can be little question that no othor name would have been thought of by the party. But when Mr. Hill an nounced that be proposed to secure the domination, timid leaders In other States began to say it would i>ever do to nominate Mr. Cleveland in tbe face of the Hill opposition in Now York. No one ever serionsly thought that Hill conld be nominated. The cry began to be raised then for some new name. Bat when tbe attempt was made to pick oat one of tbe real leaders of the party, of presidential size and availability, on whom to unitea singular difficulty was con fronted. These men, with hardly an exception, refused to be considered candidates while Mr. Cleveland re mained In the field. Governor Rus sell, of Massachusetts, bright, vigor ous, able, who bad twice been elected cbiel executive of the old Bay State, said unequivocally that tie was for Mr. Cleveland. Governor Paitlson, % of Pennsylvania, trusted and capable, who had twice overcome the phenome nal Republican m*j )rity of the Key stone State would Got listen to the siren voice of the tempter agiinst Mr. Cleveland. Side by side with these • ood ex-Socretary Whitney, of New York; *x-Governor Campbell, of Ohio; Senator Carlisle, of Kentucky; Senator Palmer, of Illinois, and, at the last, Senator Gormon, of Mary land; All these men, influenced alike by a feeling of personal loyalty and a sense ef political expediency, refused to enter tbe lists against tbe ez Presi dent. Outside of these names where conld tbe party reasonably look for a caudi- date ? Governor Boies, of Iowa, a re- IT WAS VISIONARY. BUT THE TRAVELER’S MOUTH WATER JUST THE SAME.

One Jane day, alter a rough ride of thirty miles and no dinner, 1 palled up in front of a house to make inquiries as to entertainment for man and beast for that night. The proprietor of the place was sitting on a woodpile by the gate. What are the chances for something to eat and a place to sleep?” I asked, after the usual greeting. ‘•Come far?” he answered* “Thirty miles.” “Wfiar from ?” ** Beatty ville.” “Come from the Bine-Grass?” “Yes, left Winchester a week ago. 5 “Live down that way ?” “Yes, when I am at home.” “I used to live down in the Bine Grass myself,” he said, with a remin iscent pleasure in his eyes. “Lived down thar till I was 21, married agal up in these parts and come up here to live. She owned this farm. 1 didn't own a darn thing in the Bine Grass, 5 and be winked slyly. “Bat git down and come in. I reckon we kin fix you. Hitch your ho«s to the sence. Want somethin’ to eat, do you ?” - “I should say ^o,” I replied, as obeyed his instructions. Mow'd a fried chicken with some gravy strike you?” *'Humble center,” I replied in tbe vernacular. “That’s Blue Grass victuals, ain’t hit?” he asked with an appetizing laugh. “And I reckon you ain't ob jectin' to some nice hot biscuits, flaky and white, with honey onto’em and, a piece o’broiled bam that ’ud make your mouth water?” Well, hardly,” I said, as the pleas ant vision tbe man spread out before me began to tickle my palate. “Good cup of coflee ain't bad, nuth- er, is it?” he went on, “and waffles thrown in fur good measure, and then taperin’ of on a big sasser full of fresh strawberries swimmin’ In cream.’ “Don’t talk about it,” I protested; “I'm hungrier than a wolf. Let me get at it.” My host’s face fell and there were almost tears in his eyes. Talk’s all there is to it, mister,” he said, mournfully. “Ic uater be that away in the Blue Grass, but we don’t git nuthin’ but corn bread and ^alt pork up this away.” I presume he saw the disappointment in my face and that 1 was about to ex press it vigorously for he threw up his hands appealingly. “Don’t say a word, mister,” he pleaded; “ef I didn’t get a chance sometimes to talk about the kind oi fillin' fit for a man to pat inside of himself I’d been a dead man twenty- five years ago.” And I didn t say a word. Clevk and Steve” will be the cam paign rliyrasters’ way of patting it. A man oat West was so stingy he died to keep from paying his doctor's bill. CHANGED HIS LUCK. HE COULD NOT SCOOP A JACK POT AT ALL. Hie Reason a Pillar of tne Cttardi Would Hot Leaser Actul'ther Naa Jay lircningi. The venerable and scholarly-looking clergyman was not a little surprised to receive a call from tbe leading pillar of his church io the middle of the week. Such a thing was decidedly nnusnal, and tbe good man at once conceived that an affair extraordinary must be in the wind. He greeted his parishioner warmly. The latter seat ed bimself nervously on the edge of a chair and returned the compliments of bis pastor iu a perfunctory, absent way. “Fine day,” observed the clergy man. The pillar looked hard at the carpet and acqulsced. ••Splended congregation last Sun day,” the man of God ventured. “Hey? Oh-ah-yes, indeed. Quite right.” The pillar certainly bad something on his mind. His air of deep abstrac tion was capable of no other interpre tation. “Can 1 do anything for you today ?” inquired the preacher, deferentially. The pillar started and became red In tbe face. Ye-es,” he faltered, “you can, I’ve—come—to—” £ Articulate discourse seemed by no means easy of accomplishment for the pillar. “To tell yon that—that it will not be. convenient for me to longer act as usher Sabbath evenings.” The pillar noticed the pained ex pression that flitted across his pastor’s face. ‘But I still can act,” he hastened to add, by way of palliative, “Sunday mornings, just as well as not, and am glad to do so.” The preacher wheeled about in his chair and looked fixedly among the leaders of bis lambs. The leader promptly fell to perspiring copiously, “I ( m sorry,” solemnly remarked the minister. “So am I,” the pillar promptly re plied, “but I can’t help it. Yon see, last Sunday afternoon and early even ing, I bad scooped the iack-pot nine times ont ot ten.” The preacher gasped feebly as if a twinge of pain had run through his frame. “And I hadn’t held anything less than two palre. “Well, that’s the way it stood when I went to church, And what do you suppose happened when I went back after service? Tbe best hand I got was a ten spot high. Why, it just changed my luck completely. As I was saying—” Tbe pillar rose to depart, apparently much relieved In mind. “I can’t be usher any .more Sunday nights, but I’ll enjoy continuing to serve in that capacity in the morning, And when he was gone the clergy man clntched the arm ot his chair con vulsively and reflected upon bis recent ^ concerning the great practical virtue of church laity. Tennessee is spoken of here and there—and within the State itself—as doubtful,” and likely to be more so. A green bug of an entirely new species has made its appearance in va rious parts of tbe country and is devas tating the clover fields. This will be campaign material for tbe Farmer’s Alliance. Queen Victoria is either in her sec ond childhood, or else has never grown out of her first one. She had Buffalo Bill and his Indians to “cut up a lit tle” for her on Saturday, and about teu days ago she found a circus In the woods and immediately bade it come over in her back yard to play. It is the unexpected that happens. Who would have thought that editor Morse was a match for Mr. James H. Rice and the rest of the Hoosier ma chine? When Mr. Morse used to give brilliancy to the editorial page of the old (.'ViCago Times, he attended all the Democratic conventions that were held in Indiana. He took bis vacations that way True, he had been a citizen of Ft. Wayne atone time, and this may bave jad something to do with it. Per haps he dreamed in those times of a day when he would have.a hand in Hoosier politics—who knows? The prohibition national conven tion will a*s *n ble In Cincinnati today. It U believed that over 1,100 delegates will be present. The apportionment ot delegates is about as cranky as some of tbe party demands, there being two delegates for each member of congress and one for each 1,000 votes polled by Clinton B. Fisk when he ran for Pres ident, A prohibition national ticket cent comer Into the party, mi a possl-- w m probably be nominated, though Tax simple palling of a signal “lever would bave prevented that fearful rail road diaster at South Harrisburg on Saturday. But tbe lever was not pull ed, and eleven lives are what the neg lect cost. The operator whose dnty it was to watch tbi3 especial train to see that it got through safely, was enter taining some friends in his signal tower at the time, and disobeyed tbe rules in order to show them what good judgment be had. He judged that tbe first section of tbe western express had left the block and4hat it would be safe to turn the second section on it, so he left his “clear” signal set. The dias ter which followed proved the tolly of depending upon “judgment” in the running of ndlroad trains when plicit rules are provided for the opera tor’s guidance. A desire to borrow money at low interest and with as little security as possible has been tbe nucleus lor sev eral political parties that have been bora in tbe United States in tbe last twenty years. But it is a iaetthat stands out in the world’s history that no people ever become prosperous by borrowing. “He that goes borrowing goes sorrowing,” is as true now as it was in tbe days of tteo Franklin. Professor Ryder, of the Universi ty of Pennsylvania, has been expert menting in oyster culture for a num ber ot years, and claims to have made valuable discoveries. He declares that tbe yonng oyster’s mo3t dangerous enemy is muddy water, and not ani mals of tbe sea. When the little fel low gets into tbe mud, he Bays, it dies. In order to prevent this the professor suggests that the oyster-farmer should stretch wire-netting horizontally on piles, and should strew this thickly with shells. On this the old oysters should be placed to propagate. In a year the young, thus protected, are harly enough to be planted anywhere. Tbe expense of this plan, he thinks, would be much more than counterbal anced by the immense increase In tbe oyster crop. The anti-Harrison leaders at Minne apolis did not show conspicuously good management. But their efforts should in comparison with the anti-Cleveland exertions at Chicago.
