In weighing the characters of men we must penetrate the envelope of affectation and assumption which many habitually wear. Some men mourn that they have made and broken so many resolutions. It is sad that you have broken them, but thank Ood that you made them. The first step to misery is to nourish iu ourselves an affection for evil things, and the hight of misfortune is to be able te indulge such affections. Ra always frank and true. Spurn every sort of affectation and disguise. Have the courage to confess your own ignorance and awk wartlnesw. Confide your faults aud follies to but few. Master Coville, of Dan bury, once received a prize Friday afternoon for a composition ou reverenqp, and further distinuguished himself In the evening, on the occ.ision of his pastor's visit, by shutting the tail 'of the dominie's coat iu the parlor door and impelling him to leave it there by introducing a pin in bis chair. The pastor returned home with cloud on his brow and one of Coville's coats on his back, leaving Master Coville executing a hornpipe in the woodshed under the auspices of his fatter. Among the most noticeable local religious features ot the day, saya the New York Evening Post, Ls the marked success of the popular Sunday evening services now holding at Cooper Institute under the auspices ol the City Mission. The Rev. S. II. Tyng, Jr., is tha officiating clergyman. He delivers an extemporaneous prayer and preaches, the congregation, led by a few volunteers, sing-1 ing the hymns. These services are intended for the people generally, and are entirely unsectarian in their character. Dr. Tyng's sermons are printed and distributed tb the large congregation, hieh every .Sunday is increasing in numbers. The bight ot good fortune is to find and keep our true poise and sphere; and humility, which wo take to be spontaneity, a fine sense of reality, a good understanding and honest deal with nature, seem to be the best guide and guaranty to the end desired. For it dooH not eet itself down and does not pet itself np, but stands plainly, like every high and heroic trait, for hat it is. A true lovelinens is not ho much in thought as in the absence of thought, and the better self wins its finest victories in our moods of oblivion. The man absorbed in his true task, intent only on nerving, be a bondsman or a king, is always modest, aud yet at bis best. Sumner Ellis. Men are so Inclined to content themselves with what is commonest, the spirit and the senses so easily grow dead to the impressions of the beautiful and perfect, that every one should study by all methods to nourish in his mind the faculty of feeling these things. For no man can bear to be entirely deprived of feeling such enjoyments; it is only because they are not used to taste ot what is excellent, that the generality of people take delight in silly and insipid things, provided they be new. For this reason one ought, every day, at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a tine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words. (Joe the. , Yhen the devil finds us in the wilderness and single-handed meets m, the devil alone and we alone, he is not much of a devil, he ls not hai d to put to rout.

Theodore Far ker. . EEAcnrrt. Behavior. If there is any thing in which the beauty and the wisdom of knowing when to leave off is manifested, ' Jt is in behavior, and how rare ls beautiful behavior, greatly by reason of the want of due-proportion in the characters and objects of mot t persons, and fron their want of some perception of the whole of things! Let any man run over in his mind the circle of his friend and acquaintances, and of tho.e he nas become acquainted with in history and biograoby, and he will own how fw nr. or Jiave buen persona ot beautnul behavior, of real greatness of mind. Observe thoeal.n ness of great men, noting by the way that real greatness belongs to no station and no et of circumstances. This calmness is the cause of their beautiful behavior.

The second District is without a represen tative, owing to the death ot Ferdinand liasler; the G.h and l'ih Districts were not represented. At two o'clock the Board was called to order, l'resident Sutherland in the chair. Ileports were received from two Marion county societies, which, on motion of Mr. Taylor, were referred to the Committee on Credentials. A call of new delegates was made, when several names were added to the list of delegates, which are incorporated in the list heretofore presented. The Indiana Horticultural Society, by invitation, came in and were seated, after which the President read his annual address. THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. Mr. Sutherland's address was comprehen sive and exhaustive, covering all the fea tures of the exposition enterprise, from its inception to the present time. In the outst the president pays a fitting tribute to the memory of Ferdinand Basier, member of the lioard from .Sullivan county, whodied on the l.tn ullimo. lie then recounts the various incidents and annovauces attendingthe first and an bsequent steps of progress taken in organizing and pushing forward to a sue cossful issue the great Indiana enterprise ot 1S7". These have been published at the date of occurrence in the daily papers, and need not be recapitulated. Mr. S. devoted much space to summing up the results of the last exhibition, with which the people generally are already Ltmiliar. He refers to the trouble with the euarantors in the kirdeist of spirit, and irandidly believes that another year will realize at least one-third of the indebtedness held by the guarantors, if all in terests come to working harmouously. He presents a scries of calculations Koinsr to show what may be accomplished this next reason, and has high hopes lor the result. These calculations based upon the experience of the passed, were f resented to the joint committees in Octoer, and published in full in the Sentinel. Mr. Sutherland makes a number of recom mendations, such as increasing the price of admisssoc to thirty-rive cents, abolishing complimentaries, holding the exhbitlon twenty days instead of thirty as before, etc., all of which will come up for consideration before tho Board adjourns. This, oi course, is a mere outline oi the address, which was long, sensible and practical throughout. On motion of Mr. Hamrick, the address was ordered fo be spread upon the record. Mr. Heron, Secretary or the lioard, then read his report. EE POUT OF THE SECRETARY. A great portion of this report Las been already published during the progress of the Exposition enterprise and h'ince its cloe. The report starts in with a general statement of receipts aud disbursements, which is shown in the Treasurer's report following this. Tho history ot the transactions wltn the banks u also given, in which be says: "Tha cry came for more money, more money! In vain dirt the otilcers plead to stop expenses. Enthusiasm rau high. Each department superintendent urged the necessity to have his part of the exhibition com plete: and even the guarantors vowed that they would rather pay the whole amount of their bonds than leave anything undone to insure success. He recounts the delay and embarrassments encountered in collecting the amounts subscribed; insurance upon buildings, recommending that 1-loral Half be Insured in the sum ot 83,000; litigations the Board has contended with; a brief history of the Exposition enterprise from its inception, including a statement as follows: There was used In the construction of the improvements ICO.OOO brick, kiln count; or in . other words actual count. whereas, if counted by measurement. as 'estimated by contractors, it would add forty per cent to the amount, equal to i,;ju,ow(. There is a,rt.sj cubic yards of stone work in the foundation, and 6W.ii.31 feet of lumber used in the constructiou of the build ings. There is 9T6 feet of water pipe, and 10,660 feet, or over two miles of gas pipe, through tha structure: 202 reflectors, and 1.3d2 gas burners, which consumed 570.900 leet of gas during the exhibition; &S feet of drainage pipe are laid; 917 squares (10x10 feet) of elastic rooilng were required, and 110 kegs of nails. The main building was under roof in ninety days after ground was broken for the foundation. Mr. Heron makes A COMPARISON WITH OTHER EXPOHITIONS. The gross receipts of the Indiana Exposition were i3,0O0 at twenty-five cents admission. At the. St. Louis fair, the gross receipts were $72,000 at fifty cents admission. At the same price of admission the receipts would hate been $2.,000 less than here, and yet they claim a grand success. At Chicago the receipts were 137,413 at fifty cents admission, only i.UUO moro than, the Indiana -Exposition at the same rates, with double the amount of capital invested in buildings, and nothing to pay as premiums. The Cincinnati and Louisville managers are very reticent about their finances, and it is evident that their success was not so great during the past season , as previ-oudy.-The annual fctatemeut of our Exposition shows' a profit of twenty per cent, on the amount invested the past season, The debt incurred by the assessment notes to the guarantors do not bear interest, and the Interest on the 30,000 the Board has agreed to carry over, as a portion of the assessment on the bonds is to be included in the nxpeuse account of the coming season. So thai the guarantors will be bearing that expense, as the assessment notrs given as payment on the bond are payable only from a surplus ot net receipts. The real estate owned by the Hoard, valued at ?i"j0,0CO, is not subject to taxation. With tbe experience of the past and ati average season of general prosperity a safe calculation may be of $00,000 net profits from tho s jason operations of tho Fair and Exposition of 1S74. PRINTING AND ADVERTISING. The Secretary says at loast four times more labor and expense has been given to this department the past season than heretofore.

At a heavy expense 13,000 beautiful lithograph posters were distributed. He fent out more than double the advertising matter of the Cincinnati or any other Exposition in theeountry. Five thousand circulars were sent, in April, to all the principal newspapers in the country. InMavand June 10,000 more circulars and 10,000 premium lists were sent out by mail and express, besides 00,000 extra copies ot the two Indian

apolis morning dailies, with any amount of display advertisements in the country papers, making the Indiana Exposition the best advertised in America." The annual reports of the Board are next dealt with; then the library, office affairs and a touching reference to the death of Ferdinand Basier and S. F. Penticost, members of the Boards closes the exhaustive and interesting report of Mr. Heron for 1873. After the reading of the Secretary's report,' Mr. Carlos Dickson, Treasurer of the Hoard, submitted his annual repoit. REPORT OPTHK TREASCRKR. KKCKIPTS. 1S73. .Sept. 27. Received from A.

Caldwell, (Jeneral Superintendent, submitted the following report: REPORT OF THE OENERAb SUPERINTENDENT. Indianapolis, Jan. 5, 1S7I. Mr. Prexiilfnt and Mcntcrs of the State Board of Agrictdtnre: I can not make to you such a report on this occasion as I should like to have done. Your constitution plainly defines the duties of General Superintendent ander which I was duly elected, but those duties properly belonging to my office of construction, etc., were by your CommiUee on Buildings' placed. in the hands of Hezekiah Caldwell. This committee did well in giving him the superintendency of the' building; but I think he had no right to take from me those rights belonelne to the General Kuoerinten dent by the law. I submitted to this, hoping it might prove for the best; but it rendered a great injustice to me, showing In me a seeming incompetency when I really was divested of the power to act. This much of an ex planation is necessary, both to set myself right before the public, and to show why I make no more elaborate report. One year ago, when this exposition project was sought to be brought to a tangible basis bv raising a guaranty bond of 100,000, and the committees appointed bv the Board of Trade and City Council had given up the matter as a failure, and returned the books to the Board of Trade rooms. Together with your Secretary undertook to raise it, assisted by John M. Todd and J. D. Vinnedge. After many days of incessant labor, in the most inclement weather, the bond vtas delivered to and accepted by the State Board of Agriculture about the 6th of March. 1873. And thus was culminated the professed, desire'' of the State Board of Agriculture, and the bondod bone of the citizens of Indianapolis. I rejoiced in this, for I looked forward to this enterprise as of great Importance to the State of Indiana and the city of Indianapolis, be lieving out of it will grow the grandest sue cess witnestüod in the country. You have a fjood foundation, and only need to improve t. The financial crisis doubtless caused much trouble iu raising money that under other circumstances would have been avoid ed. It is gratifying to know that no accident of any serious character happened inbe construction of this mammoth building, ana that an exhibition was given that surprised Indiana and rendered aiirac!ion to every visitoi. . I call your attention to .THE FOLLOWING RECOMSIKNDATIONR. 1. That the standi next season be sold without reserve to the highest bidder for cash in full, one wek previous to the opening.1 2. That only such refreshment stands be allowed on the grounds as are now erected for that purpose. 3. That only two candy mautilactures be allowed space to erect tents. 4. fnas no suowj of any character whatever be allowed on the grounds. 5. That unoke peddling institutions, patent right mediciucH, lung testers, lifting machines, etc., be debarfd, and that the eale of Ep-com, candy, cider, lemonade and cizars confined to the stands above. 6, The

young trees yet living be properly boxed, and a row of trees be planted immediately outside the time track from the east end of the amphitheater to the west side of the executive building?. 7. Exposition avenue should be graded and graveled, at least in front of the main building this year, and platform built from sidewalk to the street railway track. 8. All goods should be received in front ot the east and west doors, except heavy machinery. This will avoid cinting upth grounds with wagons. 9. Whenever practicable there should be built at the west end of the main hall, sufficient room to accommodate all machinery and fcrin implements that may want shelter. There is an effort on foot to widen and deepen the State Ditch, and turn Pogue's Bun into it above the Car Works. This would not be of advantage to your grounds, and should be averted, if in your power. The Fair Grounds are not in good condition from the fact that but little could be done last season, on account of building, etc.; much can and must le done this year. In fact your Superintendent 'will have a year's constant labor in fitting up the grounds, making necessary repairs and improvements, working up the next Exposition by traveling solicitors and securing novelties that we much lacked in our last. The Fair portion of the exhibition was satisfactory and ' drew greater crowds than at any other time of the Exposition, showing the public's deep Interest In a worthy direction. I have placed in the hands of the Secretary a schedule of property belonzing to the Board. Respectfully submitted, U. W. CALDWELL, Gen. Supt. On motion of Mr. Crim the reports of the Secretary and Treasurer were referred to the tXuntuitteeon Finance. The Committee on Credentials presented a report, but since a number of delegates had reported since their report was completed, the same, with the additional credentials, were referred back to the committee with instructions to.reportthis morning. This committee will meet at eight o'clock this morning in the State Geologist's room, for examination ol su h credentials as may be submitted. rKOCKKDimS OF THE DELEGATE BO Alt D. At 9 o'clock Wednesday the Board wascalled to order, President Sutherland in the chair. Roll-call showed nearly all delegates and members present. The Committee on Credencials submitted a suplsmental report, which was concurred in. The additional delegates were given in the list published in the Sentinel yesterday morning. An invitation from Mrs. Sarah A. Oren, State Librarian, to visit the library rooms before final adjournment, was accented, Mr. Williams introduced the following resolution: Rrsolrctl, That we recommend to the different counties to oner premiums In thediirerent townships for the best vrotked common or graveled roads iu Kuid township, the premium to be u.sm1 for the improvement of the road iu the district taking the premium. Adopted. Mr. Poole moved that the Committee on Rules and Regulations be requested to inquire into the expediency and propriety of reducing the length of time that live stock should be compelled to remain upon the Fair Ground at the annual exhibition, and report upon the same. Mr. P. remarked that considerable complaint was occasioned last session among stock men over the fact that they were compelled to keep their stock upon the grounds for ten days, which prevented them from visiting other stock shows and exhibiting their animals; and Mr. Poole said that unless some other rules were adopted, he was convinced that the stock show of 1874 would be a lamentable failure. Mr. Meredithoffered the following sulstitnte: Kerolrt, That the State Fair proper durlns the neason of 1H7 1, continue only during one week, and that nil exhibitors of live stock be granted the privilege of leaving the ground at the expiration of that time, granting the visitors the privilege of remaining durins the continuance

of tho Exposition if they so desired. Adopted. Mr. Milhous, for the Committee on Rules and Regulations, submitted the following: RemümU That the rules of the State Board be so amended as to absolutely prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors on the fitr ground during the continuance of Its exhibitions, and provldfor the forfeiture of all privileges ou the conviction of the first offense. The Board then adjourned until two p. m. Order wa9 called at 2 o'clock. The roll of delegates and members was called, showing most of the representatives present. A delegate from Montgomery county reported. W. II. Ragan was designated a delegate from Hendricks county. The President announced . that the time had arrived for J,he election of members oi the State Board. Mr. RBgan placed in nomination for member from the Sixteenth District Jamas S. Collins, of Whitley county. Messrs Farnham, Higgins and Willey were appointed tellers, and Messrs. Lockridge and Meredith clerks.

Mr. Nelson, of Sullivan, tsked it John Giles, of his count v, had not been placed in nomination. Mr. Taylor stated that he had withdrawn the name ol Mr. Giles at his own suggestion. Quite a discussion followed. upon the withdrawal, wtiich some members pronounced unauthorized. . Matters were becoming hot when a motion to proceed with the ballot prevailed. The voting resulted as follows: Williams, 33; Giles, 15. Total, 48. Mr., Williams. was declared elected. Third District There being but one nominee, the Hon. F.

' Monroe county; Seventh District, Jacob Mutr, Johnson county: Fourteenth District, Stephen Davidson, Fulton County; Fifteenth District, John Sutherland, Eaporte; Sixteenth District , R. M. Lock hart, DeKalb countyMr. Heron announced that Prof. Cox had been called away, and would not be able to address the Board during this session, though he might be here in the evening. Mr. Milhous offered the following resolution : AVWiv, That in the prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors ou the Fair Urounds. all malt liquors Khali be included, and that it shall be so advertised and announced at the time of the sale of booths or refreshment stands. Adopted. Mr. Conrad offerod the lollowing: ifraowf. That in consideration of the great dissatisfaction on the part of breeders and exr hibitors at the last State Fair, in consequence of the inequality of premiums in the different breeds of hogs, it Is requested that the Committee on Ireinlum List equalize the amount lo lie paid ou the different breeds of hogs at the next annual exhibition. After a discussion by Messrs. Sample, Burke, Cobb, Baldridge, Mitchell, Hamrick, Davidson, Poole and others, the resolution was referred to the State Board. Mr, Lockridge offered the following: iir.toImi, That in order to attract competition from a dlsUnc9 the State Board of Agriculture be requested to appoint euch a time for the next annual exhibition as will not conflict with any of the larger lairs to be held in adjoining Hutes. Mr. Lockridge supported the resolution by an earnest speech, in which he claimed that the stock show last year might have been much larger, had there not have been a conflict of time between the Indiana exhibition and the St. Louis fair. Mr. Hamrick argued that the Board ought to tlx the time at once, and telegraph the same to other States, thai arrangements might be made by which no conflict shall be experienced. Mr. Meredith moved to amend by making the time of holding tue State Fair begin on the last Monday of September. Mf. Williams suggested that a proviso be added to the effect that snch date be adopted, if it does not; conflict with other State fairs. The suggestion was accepted by the mover of the resolution. The resolution as amended was then adopted. Mr. Farman, from the Committee on Premium Eist, submitted a report, suggesting a number of changes in premiums on cattle, sheep, hogs, etc., and recommending that premiums ibe offered in some of the departments which may be competed lor by young people under eighteen years of age. On motion of Mr. Hamrick the report was referred to the State Board. Mr. Meredith moved that entry book No. 21 be stricken from the premium list, and spoke in favor of the motion. This strikes out premiums on best sheep for mutton and wool combined for profit not embraced in any other classes. Mr. Farmau remarked against adopting the motion upon the ground other classes than thoroughbreds should be allowed a chance for competition. Mr. Cobb opposed the cutting down of premiums in &ny class. He would raise them if anything. He was opposed to the wedding of the State Fair and Exposition from the beginning, out now that it had taken place; he was not in favor of a divorce. He thought it not advisable to cut down premiums and increase rates of admission. City of Indianapollscan well afford to pay all it has paid, and all it has yet to pay, for the benefits it has received. The Board must keep ou top. Speaker ruled out of order by the President. Mr. Seward spoke ia favor of Mr. Meredith's motion. On motion of Ir. Williams, the motion was referred to the State Board. Adjourned until half-past seven p. m. Professor Cox not having returned, there was no evening session. SPADE AND PRUNING KNIFE. POMOLOGY, BruOLOOY AND RERRIES THE HORTICULTURISTS NOT KILLED OUT, BUT WINTERING WELL. The Society were out with the early bird and after the worm at nine o'clock. Some reports were read from the districts of the State, and variously discussed in an instructive and practical way. One good feature of these lruit men, which comes of their Edenlc life, is that they are always good natured. If they disagree, they don't quarrel, nor do they assume to know everything. Dr. Furnas, in discussing the reports, made some very instructive remarks on the cause of pear diseases; also, he gave some remarkable facts on the benefit of hogs in tho orchard, both to the bogs and the orchard, claiming that hogs running in an orchard never have cholera. He passed to the discussion of birds 'in the garden and some other enemies in the form of insects. The profits of fruit growing the past year have been good. Fruit ' growing wih pay. Mr. Hampton gave a fact on hog cholera directly in point. He had pastured a lot of 175 hogs in an orchard and not one died, when more : than 300 died outside which had no apples. According to the program, the premium essay on Horticultural Education was read and discussed by Messrs. - Hagau and Ferris. The reports of the different districts were then continued. These several reports from the district committees were a most excellent feature of the occasion. Some of them were highly suggestive, containing both facts and opinions which are the fruit ol long experience by the practical gardeners, especially the report of D. E. Hoffman, of Winchester, in the Ninth District, combined both wit and wisdom in an unusual degree. Mr. Weltz, of Ohio, made some instructive remarks on nursery and fruit matters' in his State, and answered many questions. A mild symptom of . a good condition appeared about . the "- middle of the forenoon in the attendance . of three ladies. When the society reaches its true standard, these meetings will be largely and constantly attended by the ladies as well as interested spectators from the citizens in generaL The Committee on - Fruits on the Tables was announced as follows: Messrs. Weltz, ot Ohio; Dr. Furnas, of Hendricks county; Simpson, of Knox county, and Han ford, of Elkhart county. Adjourned to half-past one. AFTERNOON SESSION. , The members were a little tardy in coming together. The President announced the district committees for the ensuing year as follows: ' First District, T. BElliott, Posey county.

The premium essay on Peach Culture ws read by Mn Teas, of Richmond. The author was Mr. Argus Dean, of Otto, Indiana. Following this was a miscellaneous discussion on the strawberry. Dr. Furnas can sell strawberries always at fifty cents a gallon and make ten times more money than by feeding hogs. He has settled back cm Wilsom. lie does not want a quart, but a wl.eeU barrow load, so as to have enough for breakfast, dinner and supper and between times. Mr. Hofiman, of Winchester, was surprised fLV1"' i,urnas ir saying o much about tho ilson, of Albany. Others expressed their views. Without question the weight of evidence was in favor of the Wilson in spite of sourness. Mr. Mendenhall made a fint for the Charles Downing as superior lo any other, and had Mr. Weltz for his supnort ou that side. EVKNINtl SESSION. - The society re-assembled in the erening. The next time and place of meeting were discussed. It was finally resolved that when the society should adjourn it should be toPlalnfleld on the second day of Deocmlsjr next. Mr. Nicholas Ohmer, ot Psyton, Ohio, being in the hall, he was called "upon to make a lew remarks upon the subject r Horticulture. To enable him to do so, the regular program for the evening- was set aside. Mr. Ohmer then proceeded to speak on the cultivation of pears. he having bad oons'uU erable experience in that particular feature of horticulture, owning a large pear orchard near Dayton, and beiug reckoned one of the most extensive horticulturists in that State. The discussion was followed by Messrs. Powell Rowland, W. II. Ilagan, Leo Welt, and others. The session was mostly taken up in an informal discussion of pear culture, and adjourned to reassemble this morning, without transacting any further business of public importance. . II EI RS WANTED.
