THE EXPOSITION.


There is undoubtedly going to be
the greatest show in Cincinnati this
year, commencing on the 5th of Sep
tember) that has ever been seen by
the Western people.
Preparations are going on now
that are astonishing. There are to
be machines put up that it was at one
time thought impossible to engineer
in the space allowed to their use,
among which will be found COM
plete shoe .tactOry-making shoes SO
fast that they require a space of thir-
ty or forty feet to put boxes to catch
the fruits of their work! I under
stand that an ingenious Yankee is
about to apply for a patent on one of
these shoe machines, with improve
ments. He says, with his improve
ments, all the shce-boss has to do is
to go to the Brighton pens, buy his
live stock, take them to his place of
business, and there attach his ma
chine,-drive his cattle in whole and
sound, and he warrants that boots
and shoes will fly around thicker than
sand on the desert from the hides,
while choice steaks from the loins,
soup-bones. that would make Vine
street lunch smuggler smile, and hash
cut and chopped, all seasoned for the
table, will be discharged from the diff
ferent spouts of the machine! Won
derful! What are we coming to? Tell
your readers this wonderful machine
will for the first time, (and probably
the LAST be exhibited at the coming
Exposition.
There is, 1 understand, to be this
year, department set aside for the
exhibition of living birds, etc. This
alone will be a great improvement,
and inducement for visitors. There
will also be many other improvements,
which 1 will not mention now, but
may notice hereafter.
CHOLERA.
There have been some cases of this
dreaded disease in this city, but it
seems to be principally of home man
ufacture, and of course is not very
popular. If it had been of the Asid-
tic type, everybody would have taken
it, just because it was .foreigra-not
that they admired it, but because it
is customary with us Americans to
patronize foreign productions. In
looking over the deaths of this dis
ease in our city, l observe many for
eign names. I suppose that they, too,
were foreign-seekers for notoriety.
The disease seems to prevail most
among the German element, and as
they drink beer and eat krout to ex-
cess, it gives the notion to outsiders
that beer and krout are not healthy
these times. But then there are
thousands of Irish and Americans
who live more recklessly than the
Germans-drink 'tangle foot, 'blue-
and grow fat and hearty.
guess Old King Cholera don't like
the Dutch.
Every Saturday evening people in {
general, the poor, the rich, the dandy, ]
and in fact everybody, turns out to
visit the several Parks, to hear the
music that our City Fathers have SO
wisely seen fit to distribute to the
people. 1t is greatly rehshed, espec- =
q
ally by the working class. 1t has
great tendency to promote harmony h
md domestic happiness. By having t
music in the Parks, it attracts the e
husband, who takes his wife and fam B
ly to enjoy the treat. Otherwise he
after hard weeks work,
night feel the monotony ofthe hours,
nd seek one of the many drinking 7,
nd gambling hells which our city is T,
o noted for If any of your readers 4
7ish to hear good music let them i,
bay over Saturday and visit one of s.
ur Parks.
