The park, large as it is, will not suffice
for half the outdoor operations in the Ex-
hibitiop, and therefore an annex for agri-
cultural purposes has been established in the
Island OF ST. German, which is distant abe ut
mile and half from the Exhibition; II is
annex will afford space for the competitive
trials Of machinery, and for many other cp'

THE EGYPTIAN CONTRIBUTIONS.
Passing along the Park by the side Of the
Exhibition building, we arrive at large en-
closed space. over which flies the Turkish flag.
This is the allotment in which the powerful
vassal ofthe Sultan, the Viceroy Of Egypt,
is preparing bis exhibition of the wonders
Of The tune Of tho Pharohs, and Of illustra-
tons of modern life on the banks Of the
Nile. The preparations are on grand
scale, and the Egyptian collection will be
remarkably interesting. The principal
building, which is rapidly approaching COM
pletiop, is quadrangular in form, more than
80 feet long and 80 broad, including peris

SOME of our exchanges are severe on all, in the
South, who buy or sell Harpei's Magazine and
Frank Leslie's daub. We cordially endorse the
sentiment; but what is the use of talking to
Southern men about giving pecuniary aid to their
bitterest enemies? They have been doing this for
thirty years, and would rather pay for Yankee
lies than take homemade truths for nothing.

A GEORGIA W1Dow.-An anecdote is
related by certain Squire, which pro-
ceeds as follows "Oh!" said the Squire,
" wish | was married and we'll out of it.
| dread it powerful. Id like-to marry a
widow. Iallers liked widows, once |
know'd one down in Georgia, that suited
my ideas adzactly. About a week after
her husband died, she started down to the
graveyard, whar they planted him, and
She read the prescription on to the monu-
ment. When she got there she stood a
looking at the stones which was put at
each end of the grave, with an epitaph on
'em that the minister had writ for her.
Then she burst out, Oh! h-o-o!" says
she, Jones was the best of men. re-
member how the last time he come home,
about week ago, he bro't down from
town some sugar and little tea, and
some store goods for me, and lots of lit
tie necessaries, little painted hoss for
Jeems, which that blessed little child got
his mouth all yaller with sucking of it;
and then he kissed the children all round,
and took down that good old fiddle of
his'n, and played up that good old tune ::
"Rake her down, Sal, Oh rang-dans diddle.
Oh rang-dang diddle, dang, dang, da."

Too OLD FOR TnNr Tnap.-A paper
tells the f1llowing wolf story, on the an
thorty of veteran hunter, named
Thomas Gray :-s A farmer, living near
the Adams County line, found seven wolf
pups in a hollow log. He dug hole at
the end of the log that was open, placed
trap in it, and covered it over with dirt.
Fearing that the wolf, when caught by
the foot or leg, would gnaw it off aud
escape, he, with a companion, determined
to watch during the night, and slay tia
soon as captured. During the nig int, the
father of the intcrcstiG. family in the log
would come up close to where the watchers
were stationed. when the dogs they had
with them would run him oil a short dis,
tance. and then return. Presently the
wolf would return, when they would
chase. him off again. This was kept up
during the night at frequent intervals:
The watchers, hearing an occasional squal!
from the pups, visited the trap, but found
everything as they had left it. In the
morning, however, an examination showed
the log empty, and every pup gone, and
the trap unsprung While the old fellow
was amusing the dogs, Madam Wolf had,
by gnawing and clawing, opened hole
through the side of the log, large enough
to remove the little ones, and carry them
of, travelling fourteen miles III so doing.
The dogs, being put on the track, soon
found them over a mile distant from
whence they were taken nicely covered
up with leaves by the side of a log"
