The works of the great exhibition of 1867
are progressing with miraculous rapidity.
The famous Champ de Mars lin watch [
have seen thirty thousand men mancuvre,)
is the locality chosen for the exhibition. 1t
was n low, fiat space Of about mile square
on tie river just opposite to and by the
bridge of Jena, cUGncctcd with that part of
Paris known rs the "licighfS of TrOcadcro"
| well remember this locality Of Tro-
cadcro. rs range of rugged hills covered
with old streets and houses, one OF the
dcnscst and roughcst parts of the suburbs Of
Paris. Where thosc lofty hills stood, COW
cred with houses, is now n smooth ssplan,
Tro2Gdcro having hccu translated across
the bridge Of lena, and dumped upon the
Champ dc Mars, and the Champ dc Mors is
now n pretty smart hill Imagine all Col
umbia from the State House TO Arsenal Hill,
picked up and carried over the Congarcc
and dumped OH the site of ancient Grauby,
leaving whore the town was, plain on the
level with the Fair Grounds TO effect this
transfer n double track railroad was laid
over the bridge, two thousand men put to
work, who fill train of fifty trucks about
every twenty minutes and keep them going
day and night. have heard that one hun
drcd loaded trains pass over the bridge
every twenty -four hours. Having removed
one mountain by the substitute of Faith,
in these mechanical days, and piled up an
other, on the artificial elevation, the i'm
mcnsc buildings are going up with magic
speed, while houses and gnldcns are alrca-
dy rising ON the plain of Trocadcro. The
exhibition building will be about six hun
drcd yards long and five hundred yards
wide, of a somewhat rounded shape, en-.
closing within the area four or five acres Of
ground. 1t is of course entirely AMI of glass
iron.
The grand and novel idea of the exhibi-
ton is, that it is to exhibit not only spcc-
mems. models and .'show forms" of arts and
industries and productions, but it is to ex-
hibit the actual working Of man and nature
all over tnc earth. OF course | can give
you but slight illustration of this idea.
There will be shop of shops for showing
the entire process for making steam en-
gincs, from the smelling Of the ores to the
running of the engine on track. Perhaps
just outside this shop you will sec wheat
growing, and mill to grind il and bak-
cry to cook it, and u restaurant to have it
""'""- N"vt you may see woolen factory,
from sheep to n man who wears rho cont
You will sec strange looking silk'worms
from China and the Chinese lady weaving
the loom thus begun and finished on tho
spot, md, perhaps, eating honey handed
to her by n Greek girl who has brought her
bees from Ilymcttus and feeds them daily
