Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe is trying to Avork up a reputation for youthfulness, and a paragraph is being industriously circulated stating that she is living at Hartford, as bright and cheery and gushing and artless as a bright, innocent young girl. She may be living at Hartford, but we dont accept the girlishness until Ave see her slide doAvn the front banister. Burlington Hawkey e. We are sorry to notice that the Parsons Sun felt called upon last Aveekto pass in its -checks.

We had been led to believe that the Sun was a good paying paper, but it seems that the editors have been drawing on their own purses to keep it alive, for some time. One thing is quite evident, and that is Kansas has a great many newspapers that liaAe no legitimate' support, and are only kept aliA'e by their blackmailing practices, and the sooner a few of them dies the better it Avill be for papers that are run on their merits.

And if it should be in a Kansas Republican community, the editor of tie Kansan Avould be sure of an election, for the reason that they never tail to elect men of the Anthony, Veale, and Baker stamp, if they knoAv it. The Methodists own about $400,000 worth of property in this siate, which, under the present law, is exempt from taxation other denominations own at least $1,600,000 on the same terms.

One-fourth of the people of Kansas are church members and liaA'e an interest in this property three-fourth are drawn upon to maintain it, independent of any interests theAr may liaA'o in it; and yet Ave are reminded that this is a free country. The Washington Star quotes General Butler as saying that Tilden is honestly elected, but Avill be counted out. And the Star adds that Gen. Butler is in this city and can deny the saying if it is not true. Not a thousand miles from Richmond a Avife lay in a dying condition.

Having brought up a clever orphan girl, who was groAvn, the dying wo-man called the young woman to her and said I will soon leayemy little children motherless. They knoAv you and love you, and after I am gone I want you and my liusbaud to marry. The young woman, bursting into tears, said We were just talking about that. But speaking of Judas reminds us that there has not been to exceed a baker's dozen men since his day with the exception of Kidd, the pirate, about whom so much could be said as George T. Anthony.

Hutchinson Examiner. We notice that among the list of Les Miserables, draAvn as one of the petit jurors for the November term of the U. S. Circuit Court, that convenes in Topeka on the 27tli instant, is the name of J. Clarke Swayze, the lightning editor of the Topeka Blade.

The Eldorada Times and Garnett Plaindealer are about the only papers in Kansas, besides the Blade. which has a properly constructed table of county election returns.

The Topeka Blade had little in but Veal during the campaign, nevertheless Veal was elected representative by G96 majority. Hiaicahta Dispatch. His friends say that our expositions of Veale elected him. We begin to comprehend that if Ave want to keep public robbers and scoundrels generally out of office in Kansas. we must not let their character be known.

The Leavenworth Times gives an account of a drunken carousal of the assassin Embry Avith his particular friends Sherry, Bond, Joyce, and Frazer. They went to the saloon of Mr. Giacomini and finding there two gentlemen named Leonard, proceeded to insult them, Avith the hope of getting up a row. Sherry got a knock-down and Embry stood back at a safe distance with drawn pistol, as usual.

It wont be long now before the lottery organ will be holding up the hands of its candidate for Executive, by telling us that he is a mitey Governor.

We wanted to bring out our rooster, when Phillips county gave a Republican majority of 49, but it would have been such a sickly crow, that we concluded to postpone, and if Tilden is elected, then whar is we." Phillipsburg Chief, Main Building. Bahamas.

The most beautiful exhibit from this distant irroup of islands is the display of tiny pearl shells formed into flowers, trailing vines, wreaths, flower baskets, A representation of an orange tree in bloom, made of these beautiful shells an exquisite cornucopia and a floral arch with the inscription Memorial formed by these lovely shells, beneath which is a sparkling bead cross are all of surpassing beauty. Necklaces, bracelets, and other ornaments made by stringing certain seeds upon fine thread or wire, and brightened with a coat of fine varnish, attract attention and find purchasers. Sea beans, an article that grows in the water and is washed upon the shore by the Avaves, Avhen polished by being rubbed Avith polishing poAvder, glisten like fine stones, and are sold as ornaments for Avatch fobs and sleeve buttons. Their colors range from nearly Avliite through the shades of broAvn to black. Beautiful tortoise shells, sponges, and other marine products were sent from these islands.

Brrmuda. This island occupies a lonely, isolated position amid the great Atlantic's waves, northeast of the Bahamas. Among her exhibit we must look at the display of coral, conch shells, hard Avoods, and building sand stone. Some specimens of lace made of natiAre material, hats, handsome baskets of fine construct-tion, and fans made of wood are suggestive of the nature of both the work and the recreation of the inhabitants. Jamaica sends beautiful specimens of ladies hats and scarfs, suitable for even bridal purposes, made from lace bark.

It is white in color, is put upon a bonnet frame like lace, silk, or velvet is trimmed Avith the same material made into wreaths and representation of trailing feathers, and makes a very attractive head covering for the belles of the land. The fibre of the lace bark is very fine, in the piece it looks like gauze. The article is made into toilet -mats, card baskets, and various wardrobe appendages. Jamaica also sends specimens of variously tinted flowers made from the cuticle of the leaf of the yucca or dagger plant. Crimson and violet morning glories are made of this material and are very beautiful.

Artificial flowers made of the scales and 11ns of tish, lobsters, demons rate that the love of the ornamental need never despair of gratification. Her specimens of tobacco are short and small leaved. Sarsaparilla root, senna, jallap, coffee, and some very black black tea will undoubtedly keep us aAvake until we reach another department. New Zealand. A journey to this distant Pacific Island is more easily made in the Main Building than upon a wave-tossed ship.

But New Zealand is another gold field, the exports of the precious metal from 1802 1875 being $151,271,293. Coal, iron and other mineral interests are being also developed. Beautiful bird plumage is a prominent feature of the exhibit. Elegant muffs made of feathers of the white, the gray, mottled and brown albatos challenge the envious admiration of the fair sex. Black swan muffs and tippets increase the pleasing variety.

Wraps and robes coATered with the glistening green, orange, Avliite and red plumage of the island songsters indicate the Indian taste for bright oontrast. In another case Ave see an elegant exhibit of muffs made of green and gray and speckled cormorant. In contrast with these, we find here some purses made of the membranous portion or webs of gull feet. Some photographs of the native inhabitants show us what a very savage-looking people they are. Civi-lization, however, is reaching her beneficent Avand over them, and the white man is making his elevating impress throughout the island.

Egypt. Tile oldest people of the world send greeting to the youngest nation, and lias a share in the American Centennial representations. The Egypt of history has always been intensely interesting to the human family. At the sound of the name the mind reverts to her Pharaoh, the inconstant wife of Potiphar, Joseph furnishsng corn to his needy brethren and father, the persecutions of the children of Israel, and the destruction of Pharaohs reArengeful hosts in the red sea. Entering the Savilion AA'e first notice a view of airo in oil.

Near this, appropriately enough, is a model of the pyramid at Ghezeh, which was erected by Cheops, 4000 years before Christs birth. The higlit of this celebrated pyramid is 45G feet. A plaster model of the head and bust of Pharaoh, and one of Moses, from statues found in Egypt, represent those ancient celebrities as quite young men. The faces are almost girlish. The door of the sanctuary of a Mosque has been brought for our ocular inspection.

It looks aged, the wood is dark, inlaid with bones. A saddle cloth of velvet nearly covered with heavy gold bullion, with pistol hols' ters attached and correspondingly decorated a sword heavily ornamented with gold and precious stones and a profusion of other weapons of warfare fill one glass case, and forcibly remind us of the grandeur of King Solomons reign. In another case is a head piece to put on over a horses bridle, that is a mass of gold tassels, and is also richly set with garnets. The writer counted 40 great tassels of gold bullion on this head-piece. The neck piece, intended to cover part of the martingal, is brilliant with rubys and emeralds, and is furthur embelished with 50 heavy gold tassels.

A circular table cover nearly a mass of gold embroidery and surrounded by heavy gold fringe strikes one with wonder at the mistaken extravagance of royalty. Some articles of wearing apparel also are loaded with the most precious of metals. Upon a long table is a stuffed crocodile, 12 feet long, resting upon palm leaves. In one case is a door curtain worth a fortune of gold and a few sack-shaped habits for men and women, that hang from the shoulders and have the plainest of sleeves. The upper portions of these habits, that cover the breast and back, are woven of gold.

The garments seemed woven, and seamless. Specimens of ancient brass vessels patiently carved various articles of ancient furniture dromedary saddles and donkey saddles covered with cloths of dark blue velvet and gold silk cocoons in large quantity, silk cloth with gold stripes; odd musical instruments that would produce more racket than music Varieties of textile materials bulrushes, grass, flax, wheat and com aid in giving variety to the Egyptian exhibit. The corn of Egypt may very good, but the ears are mere nubbins compared with the Ameri-'USr-an product. ')exmark. Next we step into the SM-tment of the Danes.

But the is meagre compared with Other nations. We see how-oecimens of carved wood NUMBER TIHRTY-EIGHT. Main Building. Tunis. In one of our earilest papers we had occasion to speak of a Moorish bazaar and cafe where Moorish music, dancing and coffee might be enjoyed by the lovers of Arabian entertainment.

By order of the Commissioners the dancing Avas suppressed, and the business was limited to that of a bazaar proper. A Moorish Villa, and a booth marked Algeria avus also on lie grounds. Many incredulous persons foolishly supposed that these representations of Oriental buildings, and also the proprietors and attendants Avith turbans and floAving towsers nnd long sashes were all sham. There are considerable numbers of people so superficial they think that about everything and everybody in the Avorld are a sham except themselves and their limited possessions. Calm, careful observers could soon detect the genuine from the assumed among the foreign attractions of the Exposition.

Bayard Taylor, who by travel in the Orient became too familiar Avith the people and the languages of Eastern nations to be deceived, was satisfied by the tests he made and the evidence of his observation that the proprietors and the wares of the Jerusalem Bazaar, Moorish Villa, Argerine Bazaar, Turkish Bazaar, are genuine, and thearchitecture of their pavilions and booths correct. But many of the attendants employed at these places, except the Turkish Bazaar, are Americans, and whoever is deceived relative to their nationality is self-deceived but the illusion is none the less sweet for that. The exhibit of Tunis is grand with rich colors and gold. Shawls, scarfs, table covers of cashmere, silk and gold impart an idea of the Oriental splendors of story and song. Brimless capes and skirtless coats coats cut en-militaire like the Zouave jacket magnificently einboridered with gold thread almost to the exclusion of the other color, yet further hold the admiration.

Moors and Turks could not be quite happy without a supply of soft rugs; and the rugs and blankets displayed can-stitute a prominent feature of the exhibit, and are remarkable both for durability und dearness. A display of Aveapons chased and inlaid with silA-er and gold also testifies to the national taste for rich effects. Jewelry, musical instruments and engraved silverware fill their sphere in this exhibit. The representation of a large, bounding, roaring lion, in mosaics, 2000 years old, which formed a portion of the paA'ement in front of the temple dedicated to Diana, at Carthage, attracts the attention of studious observers. The revelations of the excavations sIioav that the pavement in front of this celebrated temple consisted of mosaic representations of the chase and of the var-ious Avihl beasts.

Turkey. The Turkish exhibit resembles that of Tunis and Egypt. A large business is also done in this department in bright jeAvelry, beads scarfs, smoking turbans, aromatic Avood fans, amulets and otto of roses. A curosity collector. Aliose knowledge of England is so defective that his answers to questions are mostly unintelligible, is stared at by the curious croAvds even more than the quaint old coins, (represented to be from 1G00 to 2G00 years old,) that he exhibits for sale.

Some specimens of carving in ivory are Arery pretty. Noticing Turkey's exhibit of gums and spices particularly very fine specimens of gum tragacanth and arabic, in about equal quantities make A ery superior mucilage for the editors desk her mastic, sponges, and her celebrated opium and tabacco, we give a parting glance at the rich emborideries in linen, cashmeres and silk, and bestow a silent vote of tnanks to the Turks Avlio have brought to America a truly interesting as Avell as large and valuable exhibit. India. Have you been to India yet asked a lady Aisitor of another. Reader, let us spend a few minutes in India.

Here is a case of beautifully rich shaAvls that so many of the fair sex desire, but cannot afford to possess but further on is a case of other shaAvls and Avraps yet more expensive, for they are either partly Avoven of gold thread or are heavily embroidered Avith the same. How many of my readers Avould enjoy paying from $300 to $500 for something to put around the shoulders and back when receiving fine company or going out to ride The exhibit of gold and silver jeyvelry is not large, but Avholly unique. A set of carved black Avood cabinet furniture, exhibited by Watson of Bombay, is unlike any other furniture exhibit at the exposition both in pattern and style of carv-ing. Carved blackwood divans, both cushioned and with plain cane seats, seem like the originals of some Avood-cut illustrations Ave used to find in Sunday school books Avhen a boy. Here is the model of a State Carriage.

We regret to learn of friend Evans is one of the live, independent neAvspaper men of Kansas, and one who can ill be spared from the ranks at this time.
