* •- • X * *-' , - THE BIG SHOW. . •---,;- -- TMM NOBXjis BBlfON. V % j|The prominence and perfection of the ilritish exhibit are remarkable. It was the determination of our mother coun­ try to make such a show here as she has never before made outside her own lim­ its, and she has nobly carried it out. She has put up the most artistic special buildings on the grounds, made the most notable show of mechanics, next to the United States, profusely filled her zoom in the Main hall with the finest examples of her potteries, looms and other mechanic and useful arts, displayed her agricultural inventions and commer- pTOi^noija^ in qt4^ tniC-CCCHdsd the representation of any other country. Truly, we have occasion to be proud of our ancestral home. England, Spain, Brazil, Norway and Sweden and the Netherlands have taken the greatest p&ins with their representations. DisrracmvELY AMERICAN. In s^ite of the vastness of our com­ merce, notwithstanding the great extent and scope of oai manufactures, we Americans are a nation of farmers, and the section of most vital value to us as a people is that wherein agriculture is en­ throned. The fountain head of knowl­ edge for our land in this direction is the Agricultural department at Washington, and a full representation of the workings of this great bureau is to be seen in the United States building here, lo give even a few ideas of the service performed to our farmers, and through diem to us all by the Agricultural department, would require a chapter longer than you oould pause to read this busy week. From there are distributed the seeds which feed us year by year. Will you believe that the Commissioner receives 4,000 letters, on an average, a day from our hardy tillers of the soil, asking him for seed? Why, all the money which changes hands each month in Wall street is of less importance than the seeds the Commissioner of Agriculture sends out to be planted in the fertile earth. VIENNA AND PHILADELPHIA; To sum up the comparisons, I would say that this is more truly a world's fair than that at Vienna--than has been ever seen before in an international exhibi­ tion. For the two or three nations we miss we have a dozen who were not in the Prater. If we miss the prodigious show of European civilization, we have enough to show what it is. Above all things we have our own oountry in her strength. This is enough to rejoice the heart of the American, who was taken to the dingy collection of sewing machines, false teeth and California wines, and asked to regard it as an "American de­ partment." This is, the first of all, an American show, and second an Anglo- Saxon show. We see what we have done in a hundred years. WE see wherein consists the greatness of mighty Eng­ land and the group of colonies which al­ ready threaten her supremacy. We see also what our sister American nations of the South have done. And, although the display is rare and crude, before many weeks are over there will be im­ provement in every department. . sometimes think that this Exhibition will not be in its fullness before September. ABOUT PRICES, ETO. Much has been said about the prioes of the restaurants in the Centennial grounds, and the restaurants and hotels outside and down in the city. There ** has been an advance in prices in some cases, and there have been many at­ tempts at extortion, but, on the whole, when we remember what human nature is, the Philadelpliians have been pretty decent, or, at all events, not so bad as they might be. Certainly they have not come up to the Parisians and Viennese in the great years of '67 and '73. It was that extortion that kept the great public away from the Vienna Exposition, and brought ruin to thousands of specula­ tors. The PhiladelpMans determined to avoid this pitfall, and altogether they have done fairly. There are a good many abuses and extortions; but they are not a circumstance to those at Vienna. The worst thing now, to my mind, is the price of beer--ten cents-- inside the grounds, A aian must be rich who is an habitual beer drinker and wants to do the Centennial thor­ oughly. To keep his head clear and his boty in good condition, he must take his beer regularly at frequent in­ ternals. Think what an amount of cash jhe will get away with in a month with [beer at ten cents! He can wait for his !ood until he gets outside; but, when it mes to beer, he cannot wait. chosen people must protect themselves. The Hittite and the Hivite, the Amalek- ite and the Jebusite, are ooming down upon the land. All about the Centen­ nial grounds are costly but ephemeral hotels, and at Elm station, on the Penn­ sylvania railroad, three miles- west of Memorial hall, there has just been fin­ ished a caravansary with 1,200 apart­ ments, capable of housing 4,000 immor­ tal beings at $1 a bed and 50 cents a meal. A narrow-gauge railway encom­ passes the grounds, with three-score open cars for the convenience of the vis­ itors. The Pennsylvania company s rails intersect the neighborhood at almost every turn; and provision has been made for 10.000.000 visitors---9.400.000 more than went to the International exhibition in New York in 1853 ; 5,466,536 more than went to the International exhibition in Paris in 1855 ; 3,830,000 more than went tovthe International exhibition in London in 1861, and 2,745,133 more than went to the International exhibition in Vienna in 1873. The Main building cost $1,600,000 ; the Art gallery $1,500,- 000 ; Machinery hall, $792,000; Agri­ cultural hall, $260,000, and Horticultur­ al hall, $251,337 -- total, $4,443,937, which, with the cost of fittings, prepara­ tion of grounds, etc., will reach a gr»*nd total of $6,724,350. The five principal buildings cover 48 J acres, and their "annexes" 26| acres, making a total of 75 acres, Or 25 acres more than were cov­ ered by the buildings of the Vienna ex­ position of 1873, and 34J acres more than were covered by the great Paris exposi­ tion of 1867. IN MACHINERY HAli. Now that a number of interesting manufacturing processes are going on in Machinery hall, the number of visitors has considerably increased. There does not appear, however, to be much close study of new inventions or complex mechanical processes. For the most part the people ask amusement, and simple apparatus for producing articles with which they are familiar, such as cakes of soap or pressed glass tumblers, are watched by larger groups than sur­ round the Jacquard looms that weave flowered silks. The rival printing presses attract a small crowd as long as they are in motien, but in five minutes' work they print more papers than can be given away in an hour, so that it is not feasible to run them long at a time. It is curious to see how it lessens ttie value of an article in people's opinion when they can get it for nothing. Many look at the presses and go on their way without taking a paper who would very likely pay five cents for one if they were for sale. The lqpg table of the Ameri­ can Watch Company, with its delicate machines and its double row of young women employed in making and put­ ting together the delicate parts of watches, always attracts an interested throng. The numerous looms for weav­ ing cottons, woolens, carpets, figured silks, and suspenders, attract attention, but not so much as some novelty like the type writer. Two or three of these machines are kept busy making letters for visitors from the country, who de­ light in anticipating the surprise of the folks at home at receiving news in print of the doings of their friends at the Fair. The sewing-machine companies make brilliant displays of machines cased in handsome woods, of embroider­ ies, and of costumed figures. Various are the devices resorted to for the pur­ pose of attracting the attention of the fickle crowd. One concern, for example, shows a miniature parlor under glass, with a doll sitting at a sewing-machine, another sitting on a sofa, and a baby doll playing with a poodle on the carpet; and a neighboring lival has a Litlle Red Riding Hood and the Wolf in life-sized figures. Comparatively few people throng before any of these handsomely decorated pavilions, however. Sewing- machines are an old story; everybody has seen them at the county fairs, and has time and again fcdmired the pretty things which the exhibitors make so deftly upon them, but which' nobody else ever snoceeds in making. FOSSHa SPECIMENS. CARTRIDGES. The United States building aims to )mbine the most interesting features of the various departments at Washing- Mi. It purposes to show the methods id facilities of our oountry in time of and time of peace. The first im­ pressions OE entering the building are Exceedingly warlike, for the spectacle of rls at work feeding machines formak- lg cartridges greets you at the outset, "le girls ^ear silver badges which bear le inscription " Ordnance Depart­ ment," acd they have decked themselves . honor of the occasion with tri-colored ackties and patriotio rosettes of the le hue for their hair.

Ala^ the stines are on the march, and fancy fishing is illustrated, a few feet distant from the last-mentioned articles, by some of the hooks and lines used by hardy fishermen of the coasts, which hooks and lines look more like anchors and tow-lines for sailing vessels than materials for the capture of the inmates of the sea. Some of the former are fif­ teen inches long, made of the strongest iron with a chain attachment. THERE are tw6 obscure but still great men in Boston. They were refused seats in a ward committee meeting the other night, and were both grieved into making an announcement of their greatness.

CATARRH is a common disease--so common that snuffing, spitting, and blowing of the nose meet us at every turn on the street. Your foot slips in theee nasty discharges on the sidewalk and in the public conveyance ; and its disagreeable odor, contaminating the breath of the afflicted, renders them offensive to their associates There is the highest medical au­ thority for stating that with fully one-half, if not two-thirds, of those afflicted with Con­ sumption of the Lungs, the disease commences as Catarrh in the nose or head, the next step being to the throat and bronchial tubes--lastly to the lungs. How important, then, to give early and prompt attention to a Catarrh! To cure this loathsome disease correct the system by using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov­ ery, which tones it up, cleanses the blood, audi heals the diseased glands by a specific influence upon them; and to assist, use Dr. Sage's Ca­ tarrh Remedy with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche. This is the only way to reach the upper and back cavities wuere the discharge comes from. No danger from this treatment, and it is pleas­ ant to use. The two medicines with instru­ ment are sold by dealers in medicines. PntPiiES on the face, rough skin, chapped hands, saltrheum and all cutaneous affections cured, the skin made soft and smooth, by the use of Juniper Tar Soap. That made by Caswell, Hazard & Co., New York^ is the only kind that can be relied on, as there are many imitations, made from oommon tar, which are worthless, «pace biiilu devoted to the display of articles from the Smithsonian Institute, and the com­ mission on American food and fishes. The exhibit is carefully prepared and adjusted with good judgment by the several gentlemen in charge of its sec­ tions, which occupy all the room on the right and part of the left of the main avenue. At the rear of the structure the first objects that attract the attention of the visitor, are the numerous animals which the taxidermist has prepared to present the resources of the country in t.hifl important particular. The collec­ tion embraces fierce-looking white and polar bears, sportive seals and walruses, graceful deers from every quarter, and mammoth whales from northern _ seas. In covering this subject the superinten­ dent of the department Prof. G. Browne Good, has demonstrated admirable ideas in his arrangement of the goods at^ his command. Animals beneficial or injuxi- ous to Tnftn are first shown, including pnimaTs, birds, reptiles, amphibious fishes, insects, crustacea, worms, mol- lusks, and radiates. Then the means of pursuit and capture of these animals for their skin, fur, or food are illustrated by implements, utensils, and traps ; prepa­ rations and preservation of foods, manu­ facture of fabrics, mechanical products and preservation of animals for scien­ tific uses are shown, and, finally, the protection, cultivation, and propagation of useful quadrupeds and bipeds are in­ dicated bv models, and in other ways. A tour tKough this department is re­ warded by ample information and the richest results to the student. Along the northern wail are photographic spe­ cimens of curious and common species of fish, and hung opposite them, at the entrance to the section, are models in plaster and wood of the ways and means employed in the northern seas for the capture of the whale, portraying forci­ bly the excitement and perils incident to the fisheries. In connection there­ with are cases of knives, spears, java- lins, ropes, and other instruments used in the dangerous but profitable busi­ ness. Near these is a collec­ tion of samples of alligator and other leathers, and of the various stages in which they appear from the rough hide to the manufacturer of feet gear. Next to this are all sorts of files, hooks, and reels which must needs fill the piscatorial sportsman's soul with delight to gaze on, but the direct opposite of \ JttitgBffasss St. Loo*. Mo.
