The celebration of the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the Federal Constitution began at Philadelphia on Thursday, the iotliinst., under favoringconditions. It is estimated that 230,000 strangers were in the city. The principal streets were gay with decorations, and were thronged with eager sight-seers. The civic and industrial parade was an imposing affair, about 300 "floats," 12,000 men, 3,000 horses, and 150 bands of music being in line. A Philadelphia telegram says of the grand parade: To give an idea of the enormous proportions of the pageant it may be said at ar2u o'clock cmJy seven of the twenty-three di viHiona n&d

passed ty tne reviewing stand, and by the time the seventh division had passed southward the head of the column had arrived on She countermarch, having traveled twenty-thre squares south of market street The march was made without casualties, farther than that an unknown man dropped dead near Chestnut street, persnmably from heart disease, and a little jtfrl was somewhat injured in a crowd.

They Rely on Outside Help Eminent Counsel to Be Engaged. A Chicago special of Thursday says: There was a striking contrast in the demeanor of the condemned anarchists yes terday as compared with Wednesday, rheu the news from Ottawa was uppermost in their minds. A night's rest and reassuring help from friends on the outaide acted as a cordial to the terrible ordeal through which they had passed, and a settled stele of mind was evident on every feature. The prisoners' relatives and friends seemed to be buoyed up from some unknown source, and chatted quite freely during the morning hours. The visitors had read the lengthy opinion of the Supreme Court an ! called to discuss its salient points. The one hope expressed web that a Federal question could be made serviceable to get a favorable decision from the Supreme Court of the United Btates with the assistance of some renowned attorney. That Benjamin F. Butler has been in communicat on with the seven men is well known, bun as he has offered them no particular encouragement as yet Mr. George Schilling has been delegated to go East and pay the fcreat barrister a visit, and also see Gen. K. A. Pryorand possibly 'Bob' Ingersoll before returning' WEST. Illinois has increased her whisky production 16 per cent, in the past year. In the country at large the daily production is 204,573 gallons. At this time last year it was 188,744. The Chicago elevators at the present time contain 9,493,544 bushels of grain. Of this amount 5,640,341 bushels consist of wheat, ,325,761 bushels of corn, 1,306,674 bushels of oats, 70,239 bushels of rye, and 155,29 bushels of barley. The Chicago papers al express sitisfacUcn at the ruling of the Illinois Supremo

Court in the Anarchist case. Chicago business and professional men who were interviewed expressed relief at the confirmation of the sentence. A Boston dispatch says: "The announcement was received with exclamations of pleasure and approval. The New England editors generally approve the court's action, and express opinions opposed to a reprieve. Anarchists are scarce east of New York, and their theories are not popular. Gen. ButUr said to-day: The anarchists are deluded and mistaken. They made themselves enemies to society, and must suffer the severest penalty.' A number of the Land and Labor Club says: The anarchists will never flourish in New England, because there is too much old Vankee common sense 99 Milwaukee dispatch: "No feeliug about the anarchist verdict was expected here. The socialists say but little. Robert Schilling, the labor leader, takes the ground that the anarchists are insane and should be sent to a lunatic asylum. The Freie Presse, Republican, iavors commutation to life imprisonment. Generally, the people are satisfied with the decision, especially the moneyed classes." St Louis special: "The news was received on 'Change with n cheer. There are few anarchists in St. Louis now, so far as can be learned, and these express no opinion. Both the Republican and the Globe-Dem

ocrat have favorable editorial commeufc on the action of the court. They express the hope that the execution of this sentence "will wipe the red flag from American soil There is some discussion among the lawyers, but no one of them doubts the law, the facts or the justice of the decision. n

St. Paul dispatch: "The decision has given general satisfaction htre, though there is some grumbling txmokg a few anarchists. Anarchism has no supporters of prominence here, but American citi .ens who remember the bloody details of the Haymarket unanimously agree that the decision is just what it ought to be." Indianapolis telegram: "Everywhere in this city people talk of nothing but the decision in the anarchist case. Expressions of approval are general r.nd emphatic. The people think that the decision will heve a salutary repressive effect on the socialists here and elsewhere in the United States." Pittsburg dispatch: "The decision caused universal satisfaction in Pittsburg. The announcement was greeted with an almost universal exclamation that it was a righteous decision." Dispatches from Tucson, Arizona, report that a heavy flood has swept away

twenty miles of the Southern Pacific Railway track, between Tucson and Benson. The disaster is expected to materially delay traffic on the line. James Wbite, who "bore an excellent reputation," was shot dead by William Ochs, a banKer, at Kenton, Ohio. The man of excellent reputation was committing burglary in the banker's house when killed. A Lead viue (Colo.) dispatch gives particulars of a terrible accident on the unfinished portion of the Colorado Midland Road, near Lake Ivanhoe, to a construction train carrying 282 laborers. They were on two cars loaded with steel rails. The train was passing o er a piece of marshy ground, where much difficulty had been experienced in securing a roadbed, and here the engine Buddealy shot into the ditch, carrying with it the two cars on which the laborers were Heated and burying them :in a mass ot debiis. Harry Banker, chief of the trackmen, was caught under the engine and scalded to death. James McMahon and George Roe were killed by loose rails falling on them and sixty-one others were severely injured. Seventeen of these may be crippled fo:: life, even if they survive. GAiiENA (El.) dispatch: "A chunk of pure copper, weighing one hundred pounds, together with s number of smaller specimens of the same metal, has been unearthed by CI icago, Freeport and Dodgeville Railroad graders in the town of Monroe, Wis. A company has been formed to prospeot for the mineral, of which it is believed there is x large and valuable vein in that locality." Details of the great strike of rock salt a.t Ellsworth, Ken., have been published. The vein is 1(5 feet thick and 96 per cent. pure, the other 4 per cent, being lime and magnesia. Tha salt is pure white and fit for table use oa grinding only. The vein is only 705 feet below the surface. EAST. The New 'fork Underground Railway Company, with a powerful array of directors and presumably a good deal of money, is ready to begin work upon its underground hole as soon as the requisite permit can be extracted by mimdamus from the Commissioner of Public Works. In Schenectf dy, N. Y., Thomas Knight, a molder, fatally shot Ida Wallace, a girl with whom he ' vas talking in a restaurant He admitted bis intention to murder tho girl. SOUTH. Ax assignment was made in Louisville, Ky., by Lapp, Goldsmith & Co., liquor arid tobacco xn rchants. Liabilities, $100,005. In Needmore; near Manchester, Tenn., the floor of a school building gave way while a revival meeting was in progress. Sixty or seventy people went down twenty feet, and most yt them were severely injured, one man fatally. Ex-Gov. Lu ce P. Blackburn, after lingering between life and death for nearly forty days, diid at Frankfort, Ky., on Wednesday. Hi s wife and children, among them being Senator J. C. S. Blackburn and Dr. Cory L Blackburn, were at his side. Gov. Blackburn was born in Woodford County, Kentucky, June 16, 1816. He had been marru d twice, his first wife being Miss Ella Boswnll, daughter of Dr. Joseph Bo ? well; the second, Miss Julia Churchill, whom he met ai d wedded in Paris in the fall of 1857. Br. Blackburn received his medical education in the Pennsylvania University, and con menced the practice of his profession at Lexington, Ky., soon after. In 1843 he was elected to the State Legislature and served in that body for three years, when he resigned and removed to Natchez, Miss. Dr. Blackburn was placed at the head of medical affairs there during the epidemic of yellow fevor. With great sacrifice and heroism he went to the rescue of Memphis an! Hickman, Ky., in 1878, when those to'vns were visited by the scourge. It was this act that endeared him to tne people of Kentucky and resulted in his nomination f or Governor. During his Cerm as Governor he davoted much time to prison reform, alter the expiration of his term of office Gov. Blackburn returned to Louisville. A y mr ago he went to Frankfort, where he remained up to the time of his death.

WASHINGTON. The Agricultural Department reports a heavy reduction in the condition of corn in the West sine 3 the last report. In the seven corn-surplus States tb average is 10

per cent, lower than last month. Dakota spring wheat returns aro better than before, while from Minnesota, Wiseons:.n, Iowa, and Nebraska the reports are a shade worse. Another United States representative abroad has fallen into disgraco says a Washington special to the Chicago Herald. This time it is liule Letcher, Cousal at Rio

Grande de Sul, Brazil. The complaint against Mr. Letcher is a too frequent indulgence in the seductive but intoxicating liquors of that tropical clime, united with an irrepressible desire, alter such indulgence, to paint the town w bright vermilion red. In those cr.rousals, it is represented to the State Department, Mr. Letcher is accompanied by such of his Amerioan friends residing in Rio Grande as are possessors of sim lar ronvirial dispositions. One of Com ul Letcher's pastimes, it is alleged, is drawing his revolver and tiring half a doen shotci in quick succession, to the great annoyance of more peaceably disposed citizens. The Brazilian authorities say they cannot arrest Mr. Letcher for these practices owina; to the treaty regulations, which grant absolute immunity to consular and diplomatic representatives in foreign countries. They have therefore referred the matter to the State Department, with an earnest petition that Mr. Letcher be removed. In Washington it is understood that the retirement of Potter, Assistant Secretary of State, was precipitated by some statements made by the assistant which were not in harmony with Mr. Bayard's views concerning the fisheries negotiations. POUTICS P. H. KEiiiiY, of St. Paul, who had been accused of leaning to Hill for Presi dent, is out in a card declaring for Cleveland. The New York Republican Convention met at Saratoga on Wednesday. Es:-Mayor Seth Low, of Brooklyn, was the temporary Chairman, and ex-United Stites Senator Warner Miller permanent Chairman. A full ticket was nominated, with Col. Fred Grant at the head for Secretary o;f State. The platform "arraigns' the administrations of President Cleveland a id Governor Hill, indorses the protective tariff, demands "liberal" pensions for the old soldiers, advocates restrictions upon immigration, and favors local option. RAILWAYS.

Acibcular from the office of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pac.fic Railroad Company announces the following changes: Ij. St. John has been made General Manager; A. Kimball, heretofore Vice President of the company, has been appointed Assistant to the President; W. G. Purdy, Secretary and Treasurer, has, in addition to these offices, been elected Vice President; J. F. Phillips, late Cashier, has been appointed Assistant Secretary and Assistant treasurer. GENERAL.

Reports from the cotton districts indicate that the crop will fall short o! what it was last year. A band of Cuban filibusters wre attacked off the Florida coast by Spanish soldiers, and several were killed. An Ottawa (Canada) telegram says: "The Department of Customs has been apprised of a trick which has jusi; bee:i played on the American authorities by the Captain of the Alfred Adams, a British Columbia sailing schooner. The Adams was seized inBehring'K Sea lantfmonth by the United States revenue cutter Itush, and her sealskins and fishing tackle taken away. A prize crew was put on bocrd and the Captain was ordered to navigate the schooner to Sitka. The Captain seemingly obeyed for the time, but after having parted company with the Rush coolly headed the Adams for Victoria, B. C , where she arrived a few days ago. The prize crew could do nothing to compel the Captain to proceed to Sitka, as it is understood to have consisted of onjy two men, and the crew of the Adams not having been removed was too strong for them.0 Judge Zubia, of Paso del Norte, Mexico, who lately thumped Mr. Brigham, American Consul at that place, has been suspended from office. The statement of the public debt of the Dominion of Canada, just issued by the Finance Department, shows the total not debt Aug. 31 to have been $228,494,4.til, an increase since June 30 of $3,407,099. The trial trip of the Boston, tho companion of the Atlanta, appeals to have be;n a success. She not only comes up to the condition of o,500 horse-power contained in the contract, but she actually obtained a maximum of 4,200 in the trial that is, she is 700 horses better thin was called for. Pbesident Cleveland declined an invitation to visit Columbus, Ohio, on account of previous engagements. A telegeam from Winnipeg, Manitoba, says: "Open rebellion is everywhere talked of against the arbitrary conduct of the Dominion Government in applying for injunctions to stop thd building of tho railway, and the people are preparing i organize in order to bo ready in casa of emergency. It is now learned on excellent authority that Sir John has written to several Conservatives threatening to execute vengeance on the people if the province does not submit. Everybody now believes that he saw the telegram threatening the sidetrack at Winnipeg, and advised its sendinir. He is denounced on all hands, and doubtless will be burned in etfigy at the proposed demonstration shortly to be held. All the newspapers in the province, Conservative as well as Reform, unite in denouncing the Dominion Government, and call upon the people to stand firm and to defend their righto with their blood if necessary. It is believed by all that a serious crisis has been reached, but the action of the government seems to unite the people in a determination to ii&ht to the bitter end for their rights." Ax the National Convention of Brewers in Detroit resolutions were unanimously adopted reciting that General Master Work

man Powderly has proved himself opposed to the sale of Intoxicating beverages, that the constitution of the Knights of Labor prohibits the admission of organizations whose members are identified with the manufacture or sale of intoxicating beverages, and, the order of the Knights of Labor "having refused us assistance in our struggle, liesolved, tUat we, the National Association of 1 nitc d Brewery Employes, condemn the action of General Mas tor Workman Powderly as detrimental to our emancipation, and liesolved, that should we enter politics we shall support only such candidates, regardless of party, as shall openly declare themselves opposed to prohibition." FOREIGN. As WAS anticipated, a large number of British radical membc ra of Parliament are preparing for an agitation campaign in Ireland. San Fuancisco telegram: "The British

ship Hahneman, which has just arrived here, touched at the Pitcairn Islands on her voyage from New South Wales. The officers found that the descendants of the -uutineers of tho ship Bounty now number 107, of whom flfty-Beven are women. Only three deaths were reported to have occurred among the islanders during the last throe years." A Dublin dispatch says that "Mitchelltown was crowded Friday morning with people who had come from all the neighboring towns to be present at the trial of William O'Jirien. Large numbers of police and soldiers were also on duty to quell any outbreak that might occur. As was expected Mr. O'Brien" did not appear in answer to the summons which was served upon him. The Court finding that he would not present himself for trial, issued a warrant for his arrest. Thin caused a great sensation, und an open-air indignation meeting was held, ut which Mr. Labouchere, M. P., and others denounced the Government in strong terniB. As a result of this indignation meeting for the purpose of condemning the course of tho Government toward Ireland, a conflict arose between the people and the police, 'the riot originated in an attempt to assault the Government stenographer, who was present to take down the speeches of Mr. Labouchcre and others. The police essayed to protect the stenographer and were set upon by the crowd, whereupon the con stables charged upon the crowd and repulsed them. The mob rallied and made a desperate attempt to seize the stenographer, when the police fired into them, killing two men and wounding several. It was officially stated in the English Parliament, Saturday, that tho American Government has ordered that no more Can adian sealers be seized in Bchring's Sea, pending judicial proceedings, and that vessels and persons ulready seize I be discharged, reserving all questions involved for negotiations at Washington. A CABLE dispatch says that another person has died from the effects of injuries received during the rioting at Mitchellstown, Ireland. Fifty-four consiabies were injured to such an extent that physicians' services were required. One hundred and fifty civilians were also injured. The police at Mitchellstown assert that the trouble was due to the Nationalist leaders shouting for the mob to hold together. The Nationalists are jubilant over the good fight they made. A Tipperary boy broke

through a square composed of twelve policemen, and fought them singlehanded. The police finally overpowered him, but the mob made a rush and rescued him from his captors. Fourteen policemen were injured during the riot and were carried to the hospital. A policeman named Wheel an, one of a dozen who waited in a house near Emais, Ireland, to arrest a party of moaniighters, was killed with a club. Another was fatally hurt. Five of tho moonlighters were captured. A London dispatch says of the affair: The killing of tho head constable .vaa a tragic afioir indued. Who el an, at the head of a pease of twelve police, w as confronted by eight moonlighters, and immediately a bloody battle ensued. No fireanns were used all all. They were at too close range for that, but a hand-to-hand encounter was bravely fought. Wheelan was killed at the outset by a powerful blow on the head from a bludgeon. His (all was the signal for a determined onslaught by his companions, who, after a tearful Btrugigle, during which several broken heads were received on both sides, succeeded in overpowering the moonlighters, rive of whom thoy captured. Wheelan had been twenty-two yoars in the police service, and had been stationed at Ennis. He leaves a wifo and five children. In the House of Common b tho Tories made the most of Wheelan s murder, and were delighted at tho loophole it atforded thorn to exculpate themselves from the blaino that ittaches to them on account of the Mitchollstoirn tragedy. Editob William O'Beiex of Ireland, who was arrested at Kingstown, Ireland, was taken to the Mitchellstown jail on Monday. The streets through which Mr. O'Brien was taken to the jail were lined with troops. Stones were thrown at the police escorting him and several of them were wounded. The police then charged the crowd, using their batons freely and injuring many of the spectators. Dukinq a discussion in the British House of Commons of the amendments made in the House of Lords to the coalminers' bill Mr. Graham ( Advanced Liberal) was suspended for refusing to apologize for a derogatory reference to the House of Lords. Mr. Edward Harrington (Nationalist) was also suspended. The House at the time was considering the amendments made by the House of Lords to the truck bill in reference to weekly payments of wages in Ireland. Mr. Harrington, after being warned for his utterances during the debate, was ordered by the Speaker to resume his seat. He replied passionately: I will not resume my seat You have been watching to pounce upon me ever since I rose. I claim my riht to speak." Mr. Harrington was thereupon suspended, andj retired from the House : amid cheers by the Parnellite members. Mr. O'Bbies's cell at Cork is desciibed !

as something of a "black hole," with Little light, only nine by four feet in dimensions.

I Word Twisting.

Much of the wit of the present dny declares the Spectator, consists mereiy of a twisting of words, sometimes into absurd prose, and again into nonsense rhymes. A favorite device with some verbal contortionists is the transposition of the initial letter of words. They tell you it is "roaring with pain," instead of "pouriug with rain," for example, or invite you to "poke asmjpe." The form of wil; is a tedious one, and if largely indulged in, tends to become a habit, possibly leading to the undesirable practice of saying the wrong word, which is so common at present. There is an actual disease, termed aphasia, in which the brain and tongue refuse to work in harmony, but short of this, there is a laental vagueness which leads to absurd verbal blunders. Thus a hospital nurse, in referring to the victim of a terrible accident, declared him to bo "methylated beyond all resignation" (mutilated beyond all recognition) nnd spoke of a person of arbitrary disposition as "a regular tyradical." One would like to know just what reason there could have been, aside from aphasia, for the remark made by a lady, that her son 4 had ridden all the Way from Catabridge on hia encyclopiedia." The habit in, however, an old one; but another, consisting of the transposition and nix tare of words seems to be on the increase among us. "My dear boy1 one said an English schoolmaster to a pupil, "do you mean to say you have never heard of that magniiicent statue of Michael Angelo, by Moses?" "Sorrow may endure for joy," once read a clergyman, with the utmost feeling, "but night cometh in the morn-ing.-Another public speaker, to whom initial letters were stumbling blocks, announced to his hearers, "We all know what it is to have a half-warmed fish in our hearts" (that is, a halfformed wish). It was, no doubt, the same person who lef erred to "kinquering congs," while a gentleman afflicted by the same habit transposed the "eye of a needle" into the "knee of an idol." Sometimes words become hopelessly welded together, as in the case of the phrase "the imporfuritiesof man," used by a clergyman, who had, no doubt, been unable to decide between the words "imperf t otiona9 ' and "impurities," and had ended by amalgamating thorn into one. Extravagant Economies. Many women, who are extremely frugal in other things seem to have no idea of the value of time. Of their failures in this direction a writer in the Christian Jiegister gives a few examples: "Do you not know many homes where the supply of cooking utensils is so unnecessarily limited that u good deal of time is daily wasted and much extra labor expended in preparing the

meals, by having to wash one saucepan

m which to cook a second dish that

could as well hare been cooked with the same fire, and watched at the same

time as the lirsfc? Or a towel must do

duty as strainer or colander, no ac

count being made of the time required

to wash the towel nor of its becoming

worn or stained? Or a silver spoon is

used to stir or lift food for the lack of

iron or wooden ones? Why not afford such kettles and pans as are really needed for advantageous cooking and 'save' in some other department? "Have you ever seen some busy house-wife hanging out clothes on a cold, windy day, taking off a clothespin each time a garment is added to the line, trying to make the pin hold two and sometimes three articles? Since good clothes-pixs can be had for 5 cents per dozen, it seems rather far

fetched saving to stand on the icy ground double the time really required to shake out and hang the clc thes, and ! run the risk of taking cold while so doing. "Could any aiithmetician compute the number of half hours spent in rearing a family of half a dozen children, in untying 'hard knots' in shoe-strings that are too short or so worn as to require tying in more than ore place, and must again be untied before the little shoes can be taken off? Shoestrings cost, it taay be, 10 emts per dozen pairs. Could the hou:s which some mothers spend, during one year alone, in managing worn-out nhoe-lao-ing in order to stwe a few cetits, not better be utilized in doing some sowing, or other work, by which enough could be earned to stock tho family with shoe-strings for life? Oscar Wilde's Necktie. "I had a funny time with Oscar Wilde, " observed a brilliant young novelist from a coiner where he had been sitting silent with the pretty young lady who for the time being was the best beloved of his Eiomewha . fickle souL "I was awfully impudent to him, but I knew all about his being wrought over here to advertise 'Patience,' and I didn't feel like taking him very seriously. He was or.ly an advertisement got up for the benefit of polite society and to let people know what the isthetid craze was. " He paused as if he had fcrgotten what he had started out to tell, but upon being reminded thai he had not completed his story he continued rather explosively : "Ah! Oh, yes. I was going to say, I was walking down street or e night when he overtook me. I'd net him once or twice and lie walked aloag with ne, until present!" he asked me to come in while he bought a cravut. He went into a store and tumbled over everything ho could find with tie most toploftical air in tl: e world, and at last he said: I can't- find a en. vat in America of a color a gentleman can wear.' I 4ooked at him, and in that way youll sometimes bo very m.icb an noyed at a little thing, and 1 wa all at once utterly out of patience wit x him, and before I thought or realize I what I was saying I jlurted out, 'If you would let your beard grow as long as your hair, you might get along without one He looked rather astonished, but he mauuged to pull, up a smile, a id take it a an American pleasantry."
