Trocadcro having been translated across
tho bridge Of lena, aud dumped upon tho
Champ dc Mars, and the Champ dc Mors is
now pretty smart hill. Imagine all Col
umbia from tho State House to Arsenal Hill,
picked up and carried over the Congarcc
and dumped on tho site Of ancient CRANKY,
leaving where the town was, q plain on tho
level with the Fair Grounds. To effect this
transfer n double track railroad was laid
over tho bridge, two thousand men put to
work, who fill II 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 twcnty-four hours Having removed
one mountnin by the substitute of Faith,
in these mechanical days, and piled up an
other, on the artificial clcYation, tho inn
mcnsc buildings arc going up with magic
speed, while houses and gardens arc alrca.

exhibition building will he about six hun.

The grand and novel idea of the exhibi.
tion is, that il is to exhibit not only spcci-
mems, models and .'Gltow forms" of arts and
Industries and productions, but it is to cx-
hibiI tho actual working Of man and nature

you but u slight illustration of this idea

tho cntiro process for making steam Gu

running of the engine on n track. Perhaps
just outside this shop you will'scc wheat
growing, and u mill to grind IL and buk

eaten. Next yon may sec q woolen factory,
from sheep TO II man who wears tho coat
You will sec strange booking silkworms
from China md the Chinese lady weaving
tho loom thus begun and finished on the
spot, and, perhaps, eating honey handed
to her by Greek girl who has brought her
bees from llymcttus and feeds them daily
ON thyme growing near by, have no

he could get little cotton land in which at
the beginning, in April, he could put in n

might bring over n couple or three darkics
