.. A LAST LOOK. s ' They say the years since last we met Have wron%ht sad change in thee; That it were better to forget L Our youth’s fond history. And yet I fain would clasp that hand, Would meet tﬂose eyes once more; Oue moment by thy side would stand, - As.l have stood of yore. They say the very tones that thrill’'d - My heart, and dimm’d my eyes, Now, by the cold world’s bligatning chill’d, .1 scarce might recognize, e " And yet I long to hear thee speak, o Repeat some bygone s.rain, Although the charm I there ehould seek - Were listen’d for in vain, ’ I.would not wish the years roll’d back, Could such a choice be mine, Nor falter in the onward track, 3 Though sever’d far from thine. But pilgrims may from hard-won heights Recediug homes sgrvey, , + And give a sigh to pass delights, Yet, sighing— —turn away - ‘. Cornhill Magazine. A REMINISCENCE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

" There was an iuteresting though unimportant scene in the life of Abraham Lincoln of - which I was an eye witness. 1t was on the occasion of the visit of about twenty Indian chiefs to the Executive Mamsion, del- | egated- by their respective tribes to treat personally with the Great Father in the adjustment of their affairs. They were habited ‘in their attire of feathers and paint, aid each one was impressed with the -gre-cuess of the occasion, the most eveutful, probably, ot their lives. Thei interpretor placed them in the form Of d'créscent in the ‘spacious Easr room, on the floor; as they would have been ill at ease on chairs. Yhus they sat on the carpet in decorous silence and wuited} the arrival of the Chiet Magistrate. 4 A'number of people had been invtied to be present’ at-the interview, ‘among whom were officers, ¢ivil and niilitary, and foreign diplomats, accotupanled by their wives in fashionable touilet. Several of the latter, whose feet had uot long left the asphaltof the boulevards of Paris, looked on the copper-colored. men—two or thrée using eye-glasses—with peculiar interest; the objects of It, however, sat under the close observation with calm dignity, as - calm as if they had been in‘the habit of sitting. amidst the gaudy splendors of an East room, aud ot being looked upon, every day, by distinguished men and handsome women; the absence of any manifes‘tation of surprise being a. characteristic of Indian nature. ~ At length Abraham Linecoln came into the room and stood before the dusky crescent; while a group of wellknown men, gathered behind him, to hear what ‘was about to take place, space being made by ushers about the chiets, the President and the immediate group behind him. The interpreter vceupled a place near Lincoln, to turn -the aboriginal lapguage into Euglisii as it fell from the hp. The ceremony began by a persondl presentation of each chiet to the Great Father, each one going up to the powerful white chiet and shaking hands—not extending the hand after the Cauc¢aslan- manner, but holding it ‘high and dropping it softly down into the Presidenual palm. The names were furnished as they came forwaid by ‘the interpreter — White Bear, Big - Wolf, Red Fox, and so on. e - The face-of. Lincoln was/ plainly seen by most of the people present, for it was bhighef tohan that oof any uuhor. yvuaen e catne into theé room, iU was, as usual, pale, and tinged with the sadness which was Its principal cliaracterisule -1n repose. - e tolded hiis biands betore him, and stood rather awkwairdly as he waited for the interview to- beginj Afierr making his compliments and’ shaking hands, each Indian returned to his seat on the carpes 1n the crescent of-his brethren. When he had performed the ceremony, each one in turn made his speech to the President, standing up lur e purpose, and sitting down when done 1n - parliamentary tashion, probably through instructious from tlie Interprecor, ‘'he ftirst one who essayed Lo Ldlk grew nervous, and in 4 burried way asked for a chair in Lhe spirit of fa? wrecked mariner who seeks .lor a place. When it was furuisued him he fook his seat and resuwed the entangled thread of Ljs ~discourse. Ag this trifling incidentok place, u giiile passed over the faces ot the spectators. and was reflected on that of Lincoln. This smile, ludeed, deepened, into an audible laugh in the rear; but, when the ear of the President .caught it, his face immediately straightened into seriousness and sympathy: with the dis-. concerted Indian. He did not at once -begin, and the interpreter said: . “Mr. President, White Bear asks for tife to colleet his thoughts.” ¢ The President bowed, and another smile went round at the plight of the perturbed Indian, but did not appear in the face of Lincoln. Soon, White Bear raised to his feet, .went at it again, and after a fashion got through with what he wanted to say, at which there was a murmur of applause. LnEe: : ‘The' burden 0f their speeches was ‘the same. They had all come such a long distance, and so quickly, that they felt as if they were birds. To see the Great Father had been the wish of their lives. They were poor, and required heip. They had always respected their treaties, and were the iriends of the white man. They wanted to be prospereus and rich lik their white brother. Big Wolf, particularly, enlarged on this theme. He ‘said that he would like to have horses and carriages, sausages such as he ate in the hotel in Washington, and a fine wigwam—=*like .this,” added he, as he designated the highly .-ornamented apartmentin which he stood: At this, the President could not restrain che desire to share in the general smile.: .~ Red Fox was the attorney and orator of the delegation. " He dwelt on the gratification: he experienced at seeing the Great Father. - It was the proudest and most important event of his existence. Had he been familiar with the Neapolitan proverb, “See Naples and then die,” he would doubtless have purchased it to suit the occasion. There was,” however, a cloud in the otherwise clear sky of his enjoyment.. He had an apprehension that when he returned to his people in the far West, they might not be- ‘ lieve that he had seen the Great Father and talked to him face to face as it wus his great privilege to do then and there. Hence he would like to re-! turn to his people laden down with presents—-“shining all over like a looking-glass”—to prove to them the friendly relations which existed between himself and the Great Father,

'There was no resisting this, and thereé was some good-humored laughing. but the faces of all the Indians remained serious and reserved., ¥ “Mr. President,”.said the interpreter, “tll\e, chiefs would be glad to hear you talk.” i

To which Lincoln intimated that he would’ endeavor to do so. : “My red -brethren,” said Lincoln, “aré\ anxious to be prosperous and have horses and carriages like the pale faces. I propuse to tell them how they may get them.”

At this the dusky men were all attention, and manifested their satisfaction by the wual Indian guttural sounds. . . Sy :

“The plan is 3 simple one,” said the President, as the interpreter turned his words intothe tongue of the red men. Their euriosity was fully aroused.. Even.the spectators looked inquiringly at Linoln, to know how he was going to pfovide horses and carriages for thos¢ who thus bluntly asked for them. L e “You all have land,” said Lincoln. “We will furnishyou’ with agricultural implements, with which -you will _turn up:the soil, by hand, if you have not the means to buy an ox, but I think, with the aid which you receive from the Government, you might at least purchase oneoX to do the plowing for several. Zou :will plant corn, “wheat and potdtoes, and with the money for which you will sell these you will be able fch to buy an ox for himself at the end of the first year. At the end of tke second year, you will each be able to buy perhaps two oxen and some sheep and pigs. At the end of the thild; you will probably be in a couditioz'ﬂ buy a horse, and in the course uf feW;l years you will thus be the pe=eessor, of horses and carriages like ourSelves_.” ' This plan «0r becoming proprietor of horses «iid carriages was not relished, for <c meant 'work, and the taces of sne Indians bore a disappointed expression as the President unfolded it 3 :

“I do not know any other way to get these things,” added Lincoln. “It is the plan we have pursned—at least those of us whohave them.! You cannot pick them off the trees, and they do not fall from the elouds.” A

Had it not been for the respect: which they owed'to the speaker as, the Great Father,.it was plain that! they would have exclaimed against hig words with the untutored energy of their Indian:nature. As he was well acquainted with that nature, having served as Captain'in the Tippecanoe war and spent his -early lite on the frontier, a suspicion entered my mind that he was blending with the advice alittle chaffing. To change the:subject and restore them to good humor, he requested one of the attendants to'roll up. a large globe of the world which stood in-ajcorner on a | three-legged support on wheels. The President placed his hand on the globe and turned it round; saying: “W e pale faces believe that the world is round, like this.” ] At this point Lincoln caught the inquiring eyes of the Indians fastened! like a note of interrogition on the legs of the globe. i *“Without the legs,” countinued Lincoln, in answer to_the mute interroga- | tions, with a twinkle in his eye. “We pale faces can get into a canoe, shoved by steam—here, for instance, at Washington,or Baltimore near by—go round the world, and come back to the place from which we started.” With due respect to the Great Father, they evidently thought, to give it a mild term, that he was given to exaggeration. He started off again to tell about the north pole, the torrid zone, the length and breadth of the United States, and how long it would take & man to walk from one end of it to the other, in which he got somewhat tangled; then, seeing a well-| known man of science on his right, Lincoln placed his hand on his shoulaer, geutly uwrged him -forward to a position in front Or the ladians, to whom he said: ' ; “But here is one of our learned men, who will tell you all about it.” - Saying this, Mr. Lincoln bowed and withdrew, and the savarnt, taken by. surprise, endeavored to extricate himself from difficulty: as best he could, by . continuing the theme where the President left off. - il One sombver event followed the Indian [reception. = Big Wolf, who had expressed the desire to have sausages like white men, satisfied his appetite in the hotel on this food without stint, and it was this product of our civili--zation which was his bane. Ina word, sausage killed him.—A4llbert Rhodes, in St.- Nicholas for November. .

A Bet on the Next Centennial, ; [Springfield (Mags.) Republican.] A very queer bet is that which two wealthy and influential Berlin bankers, desiring' to provide for their children’s heirs, ‘and: fearing that, through disastrous reverses, they might become poor, and therefore unable to do so, are reported to have. made concerning the United States. The one bet 3,000 marks (a mark is equal to about twenty-five cents of our money) that the United States will not remain a republic, but advance to higher knowledge of the arts and sciences; while the other—just as confident of winning the wager, of course—bets 4,000 marks :that our country will remain a republic, all the time intervening between this and the second centehuia],,bug not retain the high position in the aits and sciences which she now occupies.

The National Woman Suffrage association has issued the following appeal: “The eighth anhual convention of the National Woman Suffrage association will be held in Lincoln hall, Washington, D. C,,/Jan. 16 and 17, 1877. As by repeated judiecial decislons, woman’s right to vote under the fourteenth amendment has been denied, we must now unitedly 'demand a sixteenth amendment to the United States constitution, that shall secure this right to the women of the nation. In certain states and territories where women had already voted, they have been deunied the right of legislative action.” Hence it must be clear to every thinking mind that this fundamental right of citizenship must not be left to the ignorant majorities in the several states; for unless it is secured everywhere, it is safe nowhere. We urge all suffrage assoclations and friends of gumen’s enfranchisement throughout dhe country to send delegates to the convention, freighted with mammoth petitions for a sixteenth amendment.

A NATION OF GAMBLERS,

(From the Kokomo Dispét.ch‘.»)

- The American people are a nation of gamblers—political gamblers, we mean; however, we are not sure that the declaration would not be right without any qualifying werd. That the people of the United States may justly be eharacterized as a nation of political gamblers, we think, will generally be admitted. It is true that there is no country on the globe-where so.much is wagered on the elections as in. America. There is cause for this lamentable fact; however, and t{re reason is a partial palliation for the disgrace. In the first place, the peculiar nature of our government offers mducements and furnishes opportunities for betting on elections that are almost irresistible. The laws on the subject, where there are any, are not striet enough to prohibit the vice, or, more generally, are a dead letter, never enforced, never thought of, and in fact unknown to the masses of the people. Who ever heard of a man being prosecuted for betting on the electiors? If there is such a case on record we have never heard of it. The frequency of elections in this country ig another cause. And then there is that pecuiiar temperament of the American people that brooks no dare, and this is another extenuating cause for their national reputation for betting on elections. . But we haven’t time now, and, in truth, the limitof a newspaper article on the subject forbids us, to enter into a discussion-of the minutie of the cause. The broad fact stares us in the face that we are the greatest nation of gamblers on the earth, and why are we? We can only spare the space and 'stop long enough to start the reader on the train of thought which, if legitimately followed out, would lead him to the fountain source. ; e &

We have seen no estimate of the total amount that was wagered on the result of the Presidential election, but it is safe to say that it ran far up into the billions. - The city of New York alone staked —over half a billion dollars upon the revolving of the Presidential wheel of fortune. The sum of money represented by all the bets that were<made in the {United States on the vote polled on the 7th instant is simply incomprehensible. It would represent an amount beyond the conception of the human mind. "Any estimate based on what is known would fall millions below the correct sum.. Every city, town, and village in the land hag its John Morrisy to a greater or |less extent., The silk hats that were put in jeopardy would, alone, make the richest Crcesus the world. ‘has ever seen out of the possessor of” their representative value.~ Everybody bets—except thode that don’t, and ‘they are" as scarce as a needle in a hay-stack! We have never found one yet. The children, both boys and girls; young men and young ladies, the middle aged and the old, the merchant and the mechanic, the professional man and the street scavenger, the poor and the rich, the sorrowful and the gay, the wordly man @pd the man who fears his god, and even some of God’s own ministers, all, have a favorite candidate for office whom they think will be lelected, and they back their judgment, or hope, or guess, as it may be, with a bet. This: political | betting seems to be contagious. Whole communities as well as whole families sometimes catch it, and then “the dev‘il’s to pay.” But it’s not’'sohard on the ¢ommunity as the family. No differ--¢hce who wins, the money is, generally, all leftin the community. Not so, however, with the family. In thelatter case the members of the family, somehow or other, always bet as they always vote just the same way and when they.lose, especially if the unlucky heusehold should number some ten or twelve distinet and separate individuals, it goes rough with them then; or winning, if they be poor, they are also unfortunate, for their suddenly acquired wealth i 3 sure. to make them extravagant, proud and lazy, and -when all is squandered, leave them far below their original level, in society, wallowing in the slough of degraded poverty. . o The effect of gambling on the elections is most injurious- to every interest involved. Itis alike hurttul to the winner and the loser. Ifs banefulness is felt by all classes of society, and the interests of justice and good government suffer by its damnable influence. Whatever cortupts the morals, what“ever is in contradiction to the iniunctions of God’s word, can not be but injurious and mischievous in its practice, and therefore, we say, the winner of an election wager suffers loss equally with, if not n:ore, than the loser. .The man who is worsted in his courtship of the “fickle goddess” learns a lesson, generally, that partially compensates him for his loss, while his successful rival is led on by the se‘ductive sorceress to everlasting ruin:

As every lindividual is an integral part of society, whatever affect the one affects the other; and so no persSon can fsuﬁer loss without-entailing a correspanding loss upon the community of which he is a member. This, we believe, is good political economy ; and therefore, we say, the evil effects of betting on the issues of a political canvass are felt by all classes of society. ik L

The staking of large sums of money upon the result of an important election is'ecalculated to pervert the will of the people, put bad men in office, and, as a.consequence, justice and ‘goud government must suffer thereby. Men, who, in the ordinary affairs of life are perfectly honest and honorable, do not hesitate to stoop to very dishonorable means to win an election bet. The money at stake is more to them than that justice should run her natural course and the best'men be elected. A case in point: A bets B that C will not be sent to:Congress. The sum at stake is large, and the personal interests besides, of A, dependent on the result; being still larger, make it greatly to his material welfare that C should be defeated. In order to azcomplish that.desirable result, A spends much money and time, tampers with the political wires, defies the wish of the people, wiiis his bet, and C is relegated to private life, And what is the consequenee? B loses his money, and in his desparation bets more heavily on the following election than before in the hope of regaining. his losses, and, so, on he goes, till at last the. fascinating habit becomes fixed upon him and -he is no more a free moral agent. But still worse than all, @, the other candidate, the spurious politician whom the people would have rejected, is sent to the legislative halls of the Nation, where he has already distinguished himself as the heaviest ‘log-roller’ mht_hai Ogngées:(ilog al gang, and where he is destin begome, still more noted, for—God only knows what! . Thus, we say, it is, that the interests of justice and good government suffer by this damnable species of gambling.. | ~ Qan nothing be done to eradicate this national vice? LO-,VWe answer emphatically, no! not 80 long as the law makers owe their official gosibiqns to the influence of the betting fraternity

‘and themselves members of that fraternity. The laws on the subject must _be made stronger and then enforced before a change for the better will come. To do this, good men must be sent to our legislative halls—and how we are to accomplish that grand desideratum, we must confess, we are’ completely at a loss to know. - There. is one thing sure, which we do know, and that is that public opinion will have to be greatly purified before any law on the subject can be successfully ‘executed. The Indianapolis News is right when it says: “A sort of saturnalia is made of a Presidential election and, the customary restraints of society and morals are relaxed as if to indulge an evil tendency that can not he repressed. Certainly it is all wrong, all bad, without' the slightest feature of mitigation. It is gambling just as +fully and viciously and contemptibly as betting against the ‘tiger’ or ‘anteing’ in poker. There is not a bit of difference, essentially.”; The statutes of Indiana make professional gambling a felony, with a penalty of a term in the penitentiary for not less than one nor more than flve years and .disfranchisement; while betting on elections is simply denominated a misdemeanor, punishable by fine. Following is the only statute we have on the subject: :

“Every person who shall by playing or betting at or upon any game or wager, or upon the result of any election, either lose or win any article of value, shall be fined in.any sum not less than the value of the article so lost or won, or exceeding twice the value thereof, and any one of the persons so betting or playing may be compelled to testify against the others therein concerned.” !

" Isn’t-this a nice law for the regulation of a viee that is a hundredfold more pervertive of justice, good mor als, and the peace of society than the vice called professional gambling. which the same staute declares to be a felony ? . No wonder political gambling has become a national vice and the American people a nation of political gamblers! G T .

Nebraska as a Live Stock Country. Beeves, sheep, hogs and horses—one or all, there is *millions in them.”, At the base of all there is the. illimitable | market, wide as the world. Then comes the low down cost of production to supply this market—the low. cost because the climate favors health and.and vigor!in animal life, experience proving that there is no virulent form of disease among stock in Nebragka, and because, even on the wjld prairie, the pasturage afforded by the native grasses being abundant, and alt the hay that is required being obtainable at the cost of cutting. Grain teed, of course, is cheap; and sufficient shelter for the winter months is obtained by building the rough prairie stable of posts and boards, covered and wrapped, as with a blanket, with piled up straw and hay. No one has commenced as flock-master, and not found the avocation profitable.. In 1875 a flock ot Cotswuolds, shepherded on the plains, yielded Messrs. Creighton, of Omaha, an average fleece ot 10 pounds per head, the price they realized being 40 cents per pound in the dirt. The Hon. Moses Stocking, of Wahoo, in Saunders county, had on July Ist, 1874, a flock of 1622 Merinos, which he valued at $3.00 per head, amounting to $4,956.00; and from. these on June 30th, 1875, his profit was $3,495.38.| Mr. A. D. Richie, air experienced flock - master, of Orton, Seward county, states that his profits for the sheep year 1875-6 exceed his most sanguine expectations, and he believes he can get 'His money back. each year, and have the flock on which he starts besides.” Instances.of this kind could be accumulated. Let it be said, however, that there are'now 15, 00v sheep in Gage county; and at a sheep’ shearing festival held at Beatrice, the county seat, on May 11, 76, Mr. 8. C. Carey exhibited a Merino fleece weighing 201bs. 18 oz., and a second fleece from a. three-year-old Merino ram weighing 16 ?s. 5 oz.; Messrs. Paddock & Long, fleeces weighing 12 to 1414 bs. each, and Mr. Moses Stocking, a tleece of 181bs. 115ez., from atwo-year-old Infantado ram. The business is rapidly increasing, and soon textile .manufacturers will look to the Nebraska prairie for a large annual supply of wool. Mr. Cornelius“ Jansen, (one of the leaders of the Russian Mennonites, who are making Nebraska their home,) on 900 acres -of land purchased from the B. & M. Cmpauy, has established a flock of 1620 grade Merino sheep,.and a herd of 100 blooded cattle, choosing Nebraska for his enterprise after carefully examining the country from Southern Kansas to the Red River of- §he north; and Mr. M. S. Maloney, a |capitalist of New. York, (a practical flock-master) who has large.landed interests in Illinois, has purchased two. sections of land, .and leased one section from the State, in the Republican river eountry. 'To this ranch he is ‘bringing 3000 Merino ewes from New Mexico, aud thoroughbred rams from Vermont, anticipating from the cross a large sheep and heavy fleece in Nebraska, which in the mat-ter-‘of sheep, he eonsiders destined to: be the Scotland of the States.

Philadelphia’s Chri_-tmiw Trade To=

tally Ruined.

(Philadelphia 'Cbt?reépondence of N. Y. Times.) What one week ago. was the greatest exhibition the world ever saw is ‘to-day a desolate region, resembling a city depleted by a plague. The Cen-~ tennial exhibition is gone, but its results are.felt by tradesmen here keen--Ily. The reaction of the busy times, the rush and hurry, the quick/moneygetting which ‘awakened the sleepy poovle here, has had a woeéfully bad effect; for now, when Philadelphia is returning to its Quakerisms and the usual ‘quietude, the merchants are cryingout hard times; and put on long faces. The results of the exhibition, while being in the main decidedly satisfactory, are rather, in their remote relations, of a very distressing character. It is feared that the Christmas trade here‘has been almost detroyed by the large purchdses which were ‘made at the grounds. - And now, as ‘the debris is being cleared away, the' sheriff and the. auctioneer vie with' edch other in the collection of debts. /At spots in and ontside the grounds are the ominous words, “Closed by the Sherifl.” ~ Among the unfortunates . who hoped to reap a rich harvest, but are now in the hands of the law, are, it is said, the. One-Track Elevated Railway; the Ge'or%e’s Hin opservatory, which stanus like a giant ovetouking the grounds: ‘ua_g'uampbe'll Press buildinas avout which there: is a dispute with the builder concerning some $15,000; the Violet Glass house, and the Brazilian cafe.; The Grand Exposition Hotel, the largest near the grounds, . was attached, ;:but it is now believed has. been released, as it !is said by ‘those intervested that the! claims, amounting to some $9,741,90, were settled last week. In the famous shanty-town the sheriff has reaped a rieh ‘harvest,’ coming in now for his second -or third sale of néarly every building there.. What the inexorable minion of the lJaw leaves the smiling and bland auctioneer has:under his care. First of these come the sales of the builﬁlings in the grounds, which takes place'in the Judge’s hall on the [first day of December’ next. This ‘comprises the Main Building, which will be purchased by the permament ';Exhibiticgn Company ;. Agricultural Hall, the ecarriagge ‘and mineral an-. nexes, and about a dozen others. = The sum realized from the sales goes into the general fund to pay back to the stockholders a ‘percentage ot the ‘amount of money ‘they subscribed. Outside the grounds all the. hotels are disposing of their very full complement. of héusehold furniture, and it is not unusual to read in the auction “ columns of the; newspapers, 10,000 bedsteads for sale, and 20,000 yards of ‘carpet.” - .As these goods are thrown upon the market, and must be sold, ~as the parties who own:them are in want of cash,-and will not need articles or the. like for some years, they go for a mere song,and the funiture "and house furnishing trade Teceives a shock which may cause the closing up of & number of establisnments. The numerous’ buildings will -also be sold, -and this will further tend to prostrate -business, and it will not'be surprising to find those that do not:-secure ready purchasers soon in' the hands of the sheriff. Indeed this latter official is: the most popular man in this city just TNOW. : s :

Among the financial failures of the great ‘exhibitionis :the much-abused Official Catalogue company, who bid to pay $lOO,OOO for the privilege of printing and selling the catalogue. It is understood that their expenses, adding the $lOO,OOO, were abouf $225,000, Land that the receipts were far below that figure. 'The catalogue ‘did not sell well,~and was very faulty, more especially the first editions and the extras which were issued for the live stock and - other extensions to the ‘nfain exposition. In a kindly s-pi{it, | the board of finance, it is learned, will make such condessions to the company as will allow/the parties interested in it possibly - a small margin, but at any rate, save them from their utter’ annihilation: - Now' the tobacco and cigar dealers, W.S. Fleming & Co., who bought a. concession for the exclusive sale of the weed on the groundg, for some $16,000 refuse to settle with the finance- board, because, it is alleged, their business was ruined by the manufacturers. who had exhibits in the Machinery and “Agricultural .Halls, who gave away tobacco of all kinds 1n unlimited quantities, and the public did ‘not..patronize the beoths where the tobacco was s0ld; but rather crowdéd the place” where ‘it could be had free. With the other concessionists-thiere has been good for- | tune, so far as can be learned. . Each of the restaurants’ which had buildings of their-own paid the sum of. $6,000 for the privilege, and erected _their exclusive edifices. This includes the Grand American, Trois Freres; Lafayette,’ Lauber’s, and . such like, “while those parties: ' whé had restaurants in the large’ buildings, like’ Glenn’s, .in" the : Main Building, and Whitney’s, in Machinery Hall, paid $5,000 each for their privilege. On all the: goods sold within the vgroundqf the finance board éxacted 15 per cent.’ on the dol{a'rjan‘d daily returns were made of all sales to she committee on | “concessions. .- Of course, this did not include sales made where money had | been paid‘for a concession, but on articles .manufactured in-the grounds, such .as candies, wooden ‘toys, &c. The amount to be received from this source: of concessions will :be enormous, footing over $600,000. Taking a rough estimate, the total receipts of the exhibition, from. admissions, sales of buildings, money received for concessions, &c., will be nearly $7,000,000. When the expenses are deducted, it will leave nearfy- $5,000,000 for the stockholders, who, according to. the: strict interpretation of the act of Cons| gress, or rather the meaning put upon. it heve, must be paid before the Unit‘ed States Government, and then what-- ' éver: remains *is profit,” but perhaps _not according to Mr. Holman’s idea, “and goes to the authorities at Washington. .Among*%:-larges_tfs'tockhold- | ers are the States’ of New Jersey, -$lOO,OOO, and the merchants of Philadelphia, over $500,000.
