It will be unfortunate ir the exhibit shall fail in any particuor department, lrom this cause b'pn a trifling effort on the part of the citizens, or even on the part of the -eoool children, will easily lurnish all tnat is required, A number of counties ave contributed their full share and ,iiore, and the citizens of those which have not will certainly regret it by and oy when the real character and imporance of this greatest of the world's expositions fs more clearly understood.

The Managers and State Committee are serving the State at their individual expense, and are carefully guarding the expenditure. Will not some public spirited lady or gentleman, take this matter in hand in each community, and enlist their friends to arrange for some kind of public entertainment, or for a direct canvass among your citizens, on behalf of this State fund. Such measures have met prompt response wherever adopted, and no doubt will in your county. Not only should this have attention in the larger cities and towns, but in the smaller towns and villages, and in the country a3 well. Contributions in any amount, may be made by individuals |or communities, and should be sent without delay to J. M. Ridenour, Indianapolis, Treasuer of State Committee. There can be no good reason for the longer detention ef funds which have already been raised in the hands of local committees, and there is a pressing immediate necessity for it here, as a very large share of the expenditure must be made before May 1st.

It is also suggested to all local committees or individuals having articles intended for the State exhibit, that the shipment muse be made immediately, aa they must be at Indianapolis by April 5th, at the latest day. It is required that they shall be at Philadelphia by April 19ib. Shipments of this kind should be sent at once to Prof. E. T. Cox, care of Gibsons Warehouse, Indianapolis.

An Attempt at Bribery. LudwigSmithmeyer who was sentenced by Mayor Edmunds, yesterday morning to three days in tho work bouse, has evidently been reading the newspapers lately. At any rate, he entertained tbe opinion that all public officers were susceptible to bribes. He begged the loan of Mayor Edmunds private ear for a moment, which request was readily granted. Ludwig then offered, as the price of his liberty, to perform a fabulous amount of labor on the private premises of the Mayor. Mayor Edmunds answered with a decided negative, remarking that he in­

The cost of laying is lessened fewer fish plates &c are required and as the hammering caused by the rolling stock, in passing from rail to rail, is lessened by one-half, the wear and tear of tbe rails and rolling stock must be greatly diminished.

OHIO PALLS CAR COMPANY. There was a meeting of tbe Ohio Falls Car and Locomotive Company's creditors held yesterday. The general disposition seemed to be to give the company further time on their outstanding obligations. The opinion ex pressed by Dr. W C. DePauw, that if a new company should be formed, with a capital of $250,000, to take the works and run them, that they could make money. The sale of the works will likely bo postponed, with a view to organizing a company to carry on the enterprise.—[New Aibany LedgerStandard.

A good citizen will always exert himself to induce himself to invest in the town in which he lives. He will seek out active, married men, and strain every nerve to persuade them to move into his city, we have a case in point, which could, with profit, be imitated by all of our citizens.

The Plan."

There wag another large and ence at the Academy list nigbt? another set of people were kept in mirth and good feeling for a couple of bourn, and went home feeling that they had had.a profitable evening. The character of "Col. Sellers" constitutes the entire attraction. More might be made of "Laura perhaps, but at best tbe plot is only a thread upon which to bang the mental eatures of the visionary Colonel, and the other characters are but lay-figures to set off the flesh nd blood of their principal. "Sellers" is a distinctively American product, exaggerated, perhaps—as well to conform to the license of the drama which forbids that lines of character be drawH too fine, as to contain the essence of American hutuor—but illustrating in a marked manner a type of man to be found in almost every town. We have dozen of them hore, and not a few have their names emblazoned upon the maps in connection witn farms cut up into town lots

In one direction "Colonel Sellers" is an embodiment of our friend the Plan, and the fortune to be realized from the sale of bis Oriental Optical Liniment is no more visionary than the greenback millenium the former is trying to bring about, when showers of legal tenders and 365 bonds shall flow into every lap extended to recievethem It is because of the naturalness of the cbaractter, heightened and toned up to the verge ot the ridiculo"15 while an air of plausibility is maintained, that it is so popular. The audience instinctively recognizes a natural character and his shrewdness, knowledge of men and their ways, ready appreciation of ard accomodation to circumstances, all of which give him the appearance of be ing practical, quickly charms. Add to this the fact that he is a warm hearted man and a true friend, whoso unselfish ness is predominant and that his ec eentricities of manner are natural as the display ®f his

workings and you have the secret of Sellers popularity. It is a part, bow ever which requires a very careful de lineation. Imagine it in the hands ol the ordinary low comedian, and you can appreciate the delicacy of Mr. Raymond's art. It is as perfect a piece of acting in its way as Jefferson's Rip Van Winkle, and adheres as laithfully to what may be called tbe genius of the'conception. It is not over done or strained in any particular at no point does it offend the proprieties nor trespass beyond the boundaries of naturalness. In tbe drunken scene, for instance, whare there is generally an irresistible tendency to overdo, there is no exaggeration by Raymond. Ii is "a quiet, well-considered drunk" that does not offend or disgust, that is not drawn out or made unduly prominent. It is as different from tbe ordinary low aomedian-Toedles drunk, as black is from red.—[Ind. Eve. News.

TAERE was some galoot at tbe Union Depot yesterday, who represented himself to be an agent for tbe Indianapolis Journal Co. He wanted to furnish that paper and a map for $1.50. Failing in this on the first gentleman th "tackled," he wanted to borrow a quarter.

Using our Methods.

The Bapvrintendant of tho public schools at New Albatay is wakening up in tbe question of Centennial preperation. It will be seen that the excel lent idea of taking photograpbical views of buildings outside and inside is being put to use there if the following from a newspaper of that city is correct.'

The School Board are making preparations to have the city schools represented at the Centannlal. Photographs are being taken of some of the buildings, embracing both outside and inside views.. They will also have photos of blackboard work arranged for exhibition. The size of tbe pictures will be 14x20 inches.' Other work is also being dOne to show the advancement of olass es in different grados, and tee manner of teaching. A fuller description of the work will be given as soon as it is completed.

NOTICE 10 TAX-PAYER S.

To CITY TAX PAYERS: The 17th day of April, 1876, is the last day for paying your CITY TAXES for 1875 at id it should be borne in mind that the WHOLE AMOUNT CHARGED in the duplicate must be paid on or before that day or a penalty of 10 per cent* will be added to all taxes remaining unpaid after that date. The Legislature at the last regular session changed the time for paying from the third Monday of March to the third Monday ot April and there can be no extension beyond that time. A great many people have gotten the idea tbst the penalty is simply at the rate of 10 percent, per annnm, and that after it is once added tbe taxes need not be paid for a year. This is a serious mistake The per cent, is a PENALTY ADDED for non

payment, and the Treasurer is required by law to proceed to collect all delinquents immediately after the Clerk bas added tbe penalty and returned tha delinquent list to him which at fartherest will not be later than the 1st of June next, when the tax of each and every delinquent will be placed in the hands of a special constable (or collector) for collection. It will be seen then, that Instead of paying 10 percent, per annum, you really pay from 40 to to 60 per cent, and that. it would be much cheaper to borrow money at a big per cent per annum., with which to pay your taxes than to let tnem run delinquent. Those who have rea estate will confer a favor by calling at the office between now and the 1st. of April to see if tho property is correctly listed so that recipts can be made out.
