THE CRYSTAL PALACE


Description Of Articles.
The number OF visitors at the Palace on Saturday,
as might naturally be expected was very limited in
consequence Of the heavy storm which prevailed
throughout the greater part Of the day. The build
ing, as is already well known. Is not waterproof,
and leaks in several places. This we told is un
avodsbIe from the nature Of the materials used in
its construction, as well as the character OF the
structure itself Exposed st oil points to the intense
heat of summers sun, the seams, in some parts,
though tightly closed, are forced open leaving
flee passage for the rain. Considerable damage, We
are informed has been done to some of the articles
and the exhibitors are now compelled to cover their
stands whenever it rains. On Saturday the foors
were literally flooded in different parts. and the ex-
hibitors, to save their goods, had them concealed
beneath oiIcloth coverings. Now this, as we ha 7e
shown, is very necessary precaution, but is ex-
csedngy annoying to visiters who are thus deprived
of the opportunity Of seeing many Of the most vaua
BILE and Interesting articles Can means be devised
by which this serious difficulty may be removed. or ID
it to be put down among the other disadvantages
under which our exhibition has labored ever since its
commencement. During the winter and part Of the
fall. We must expect considerable wet weather aud
it win hardly pay to have large portion Of the art-
ees entirely hidden from view. Besides. il we have
many such days as Saturday last, umbrellas aud
overshoes will be found Indispensable inside the build
log. Let those leaks therefore, be oaulked in some
way If possible Cor the benefit Of both visers and
exh ib:tors.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT.

The ladies will thank for calling their attention
to the beautiful specimens of . ncedlcwork in the
American department, displayed in the shape Of
quilts capcs, &c. Years have been bestowed upon
many OF those quilts on exhibition, and their rare
fineness will excite the admiration of all Among
the collection. that which particularly attracted our
notice was called the Henry Clay Quilt" an article
exquisely beautiful and bearing upon it evidences
OF superior skill. This was made in Kentucky, by
niece of the great American Commoner." 1t is
about eight feet square, upon padded satin,
with very heavy white silk fringe, fully
twelve inches in depth, and on each corner hangs
large silk tassel giving an extremely rioh
appearance to the entire work. Around
the edge of the quilt. about six inches in width is
raised oak wreath consisting Of the leaves and the
acorn The body of the quilt is laid out into stars,
each being different in color, and all Of them present
ing variegations which woald be difficult to surpass.
The centre Of each star is decorated some by like
Of the ilustrious Kentuckan and others by the
American eagle. perched upon a rocky cliff and
bearing in its beak, upon scroll, the inscription
ellis countrys friend in the hour Of danger" In the
centre Of the quilt, upon pufed groundwork, is a
large monument, surmounted by AN urn, and imme.
diately under the urn is written" Session, 1907
and below this is the Latin MOTTO tlce ct deco
rum est pro potria mort" This entire work is made
by the needle, and was completed not till after the
illustrous sage it intended to commemorate had
passed to the silent halls of DEATH Some of the
pictures Of Mr.. Clay are said to have been held by
him in his hand the fall before he died, which are
designated upon the quilt. Great. indeed, must
have been that lady's vencration for the lamented
patriot, who could undertake the years Of toll
sary for the execution of such work. No one can
examine this without bestowing upon ii almost un-
limited praise.

THE SWISS DEP ARTMENT.

Swiss Department, but we think that some inlorma.

for which tho Swiss are justly celebrated
viii lie acceptable at this particular time
to persons visiting the Crystal Palace. Something
more than a mere description is required to render
visit TO the exhibition both interesting and in
structive. Geneva is the principal manufacturing
city Of Switzerland and Is particularly remarkable
for the immense number Of watches, icwcLy. mus
cal boxes, and objects Of taste in the fine arts which
are exported to oil parts Of the world. McCulloch
