A very graceful ni t, as well os a
popular ami appropriate one was the
lor ma! acknowledgement of I lie genius
of a poet and the high worth ol a
mail at Cliiekering hall on the even
ing oi the 20th. (Jreat men must

porthumous ripening ol their lame
and the uncertainly ol e\en tliat is
too often the bitterness ol souls to
whom fame of light belongs. The

a beautiful exception to this)
imjnet rule. Length ot years has]

One ol tlio most important events
ol the week was tliu public exhibition
of the new Connelly hire Kxtinguisltcr
by the Atlantic Fire Anniliilator
(Jo. of this city, tl.e efficiency of
which borders so closely on the miraculous
that the system is already the
subject of universal and entirely
favorablu comincn*, the piers being
tinaniinot.s in pronouncing it an enor.
nun s advance tn applied science. A
tank of crude 1'clmicuui, thirty feet
long, was lighted and in a moment
rolled up huge masses ol tlamo and
smoke, looking like the month of the
bottomless pit itself. The cxiingnishing
apparatus was tuinvd upon this
take ol tire and instantly?in a fraction
ol the time it takes you to lead
this sentence?every vest ago ol llame
was quenched anil the black masses ol
smoke mounted sullenly upward and
disappeared over the city. Then a
pile ol 400 resin barrels, covered with
lVtrolenni, and another pile of lumber,
aimilarily treated, were lighted,
and when they became two raging
volcanoes whose fierce heat I dro\ e
the watching mulli'iulc to precipitate
retreat, a signal was given to the
none hum) ami in mreo minutes the
volcai ova weie extinct and the crowd
in a stale ol limine applause. These
tests are admitted to l?e tiie most
trying ones to which any system
could he subjected, tor l'etroleum has,
heretofore been considered well nigh
unquenchable, water alone only
spreading it and adding to iis distructiveness.
The principle ot the
Connelly-Hastings system, as this is
called, is the application of pure carbonic
acid gas, commingl* d wish
water under high pressure. The uso
ol the gas mentioned lor this purpose
is not new, but the method ol employ
meut in this system is totally so, and
places the street engines constructed
under it, and the stationary apparatus
for the protection ot lactones, lumberyards,
oil tanks and public and
private buildings generally, as tai
ahead of all previous ''Chemical Extinguishers,"
as the railroad is ahead
ol the old stage couch. The street
engines containing, as they do, both
the extinguishing material and force
enough in the compressed gas to
throw it in a powerful stream, are
independent ol steam or reservoirs,
and each one is thus a complete village
fire department in ilseil. They
must certainly, effect not only a complete
revolution in the mailer ol
treating conflagrations in the ruial
districts hut an enormous diminution
of the yearly lire losses ol the country.
Business has left town?probably
gone ofl* to get under u live some
where and tan itself. And its a well
known tact that, when the cat's a'Any
the mice will flay. So with lis to kill
tune and keep cool are the two great
objects in lite now. People who
have to Btay in town feel that its very
little use working, Even the hand
cart proprietor who sits dozing under
the shade 01 a wall or awning, is disposed
to be querulous it waked up on
business grounds. The shining halt
dollar, which a lew weeks ago would
have brightened him up like a shower
hath now excites at most a treble interest.
Even the match peddlers go
lor ine so languidly as to be comparatively
inoffensive, and the youibtul
vendor of "strawber ries !" whoso well
developed lungs were wont in coohr
weather to disturb my morning nap
is so much a victim of summer laziness
as not to letch a single howl more
than is necessary to quiet a very easy
going conscience.
Strange to say, amusements rise
superior to the general prostration.
Jerome Park lias closed its success!ul
races this week amid tin applause of
swelling thousands. Toe heroic
"Polo" Club continue to risk noses
and shins lor a chance to knock the
ciiutik ol hard wood which lomm the
centre oi attraction in this aristocratic
game, the excursion boats swarm with
humanity, and the theatres perspire
jubilantly. "The Mighty Dollar" is
no less mighty than at lirst, horsehoeing
Joe Murphy makes the "Kerry
Gow" acceptable to big audiences, the
Vokes continue to captivate eyes, cars
and hearts, and "Pique" gathers
glory as it passes its 200lh performance
and goes on into the short
supplementary season which its popularity
compels.

l'ltii.Abici.ruiA, June 24.
The ( enteiinial may be said to
have reaehed its tm-ridan. In so i
complete an undcilnking it is natural ,
that a lew details should still leiuaiii .
imperfect ~ such will probably be the
ease throughout i t h existence, but
they are too s'lght to mar the client;
which is now complete. The materials
are all there and in lie ir places,
the machinery, literal and figurative,
runs without hitch or impediment, the
summer sun has not yet hud tune to
scorch the green lawns, nor the wear
and tear ol the visiting thousands to
delaeo the prospect. The "corroding
tooth" ol Oust and weather has not as
yet lairiy commenced its attack upon
the beauty ot banners and buildings,
and the delicate treasuiea within.
ICvcrytiling is trosli and dclightlul and
now is tfit time to yo.
j Muthtug among the recent arrival*
ol foreign goods has excited such
wonder ami admiration us the huudtwurk
ol Russia. Politically wo have
lieaid much ol tins country, and have
long know n it in a general way as
'gicit und progressive, but 1 think
Americans generally have had a vague
idea that Russia hardly yet got up
into the line ol modern citilniiou, at
least in uris and niauul&ciurcs. 1 he
piesent show, however, will thorough
iy dis.bttsu ol such notions sticii ol
our people as examine these specimens
ol her work. I can not, ol course,
more than allude to this department,
but bclore leaving the sut'ject muKt
say a woid about the Russian gold
and silver work, which is the most
i striking of all their display. The
richness of this work is hardly less
astonishing than its exquisite delicacy.
Vases, candelabra, set vsees ol beaten
metal and other rare and quaint articles
ol use and ornament make up
a collection worthy ot Aladdin's ,
palace. I'crhaps the tincst work in it
all is that shown on some cake bassets
which look like tine woven osier
suddenly turned to gold. Carelessly
thrown over these arc iringed napkins

artificers in the precious metals have
hcrcloioru supposed themselves to
lead the world, out 1 think tlio llusbiun
exhibit ol this year will cause
them to take a moie modest position.
The Exposition is rich in jewelers'
displays other than that just mentioned,
and the showing ol precious stones
is simply dazzling. Diamonds, pearls,
emeralds, rubies and alt the rest ol
ihem blaze and gliter on their velvet
beds in regal inclusion. In a single
small ease 1 noted one diamond necklace
marked $25,000, another at $17,ooo,
and two pairs ol solitaire* earrings
valued at $7,000 and $7,Out) respectively,
besides many other jewels ol
less linpoi tanee. \Y lieu a man gcis
the blues I rout meditating on hard
liuies it w ill do hllii good lo spend an
hour in this section ! the Main Building,
Then in the Mexican department
there is that pretty little chunk ol
silver weiging something over two
tuns, uud worth $72,000. This is almost
always sun minded by an admiring circle, the
individuals ol which well ilustrute the uniform
vvoikiug of average minds. 1 suppose no man,
woman or child lias yet approached this big
bonanza without giving it a lew taps to hear it
ling and then making some jocose remarks
about "carrying it oil in your vest pocket," an
observation which never failes to amuse the
maker. Almost as interesting a sight as tho
foregoing is tlic collection of facsimilies of
the great gold nuggets of Australia. These
are made of plaster, covered with gold leaf
and are such perfect initiations as to cause
the beholdens eyes to start untlll he learns
their true character. The originals of theso
half dozen tanlilizers weighed anywhere front
fifty to one hundred pounds and represented
a value of?well, never mind what limy were
worth. We can't any of us, get hold of it,
and the whole subject is sheor aggravation to
a poor man like.
Radix,
The Registration of Voters.
General Gary, of Edgefield, takes
the ground, in a recent letter to Gen
eral Conner ol Charleston, that the
want of registration makes all elections
null and void. 11c asks:
Is not lite teilure of the Legislature
to provide for Registration a change
as to a material Constitutional qualification
of electors? Is it not such a
change and modification of a Constitutional
qualification, as to render all
elections held without registration
null and viodY In the ease of People
vs. Kopplekoin ?16 Mich Hcports,
page 342, it is held t.hat when regis
tration is a qualification prescribed by
the Constitution, an election in a
township where no such registration
has ever been made, will be void, and
cannot be sustained by making proof
that none in fact but duly qualified
electors have voted. It would seem
the absence of a registration law, such
as is required by the present Constitution,
makes every election held without
it, necessarily illegal and void, in
June, 1808, there was a registration ol
voters ol this State, but since then, it
has fallen into disuse, by the Legislature
(.-tiling to provide ior ii,M "from
time to time."
