THE COMING JOURNALISTS OF AMERICA.
Then, turning to the right, His Majesty stopped
at little enclosure, surrounded by wooden fence,

then sauntered into the exposition OF sanitary
agencies, exhibited by Mr.. Thomas w Evans, OF
Paris. Here was model railway car, q tent, fur

model OF the Philadelphia Hospital. THIS
seemed to interest the Emperor exceed
ingly, for he paused at every feature
and asked for explanations. The model sanitary
railway car, which was mounted on o track,
showed the exact idea Of it's usefulness. The En-
perOr inquired OF Mr.. Reck how it was possible to
run car OF that length without mourning danger
from sudden curves. lie asked how many soldiers
could be introduced into single car, and at what
rate such car could take the wounded from the
field, and what had been the absolute practical
value OF these appliances in our own war;

the Minister. "There must be great deal OF

the nature of the land and the situation of the
Indian question, ana his Majesty then looked at
the grain, the sheaves OF wheat and barley, the
exhibit of fruits and vegetables that had been
gathered from Oregon and Minnesota, and, repeat
ing his expression OF wonder at the variety OF
products, passed along to an exposition from Gin

OHIO AND HER PIG INDUSTRIES.
You have probably heard that Cincinnati has an
exhibition here-a series of drawings, covering
a large space of one wall, showing the process
by which the innocent but necessary hog
is converted from his condition Of fairness and pro-
OF all hog quietly walking up an open way, with no
care or apprehension. In the next picture he is
suddenly switched up by one heel, and his throat Is
cut. Then you see him pitched into trough OF
boiling water. Further on the bristles are taken
nom his hide, and he Is transported into cooling
place, that he may have little tranquility after
these experiments. Finally he Is chopped up in
suitable pictures-lnto spare ribs, pigs feet and
sailed into bacon, and cured into hams. These pro
cesses all deliberately designed were shown to the
Emperor by Professor Horsford, the American juror
on the food department. who answered His Majesty's
questions with promptness and ingenuity, and
finally showed him q collection OF yelow-covered
hams, sent by the pork packers OF Cincinnati to
illustrate our industries, and the final destiny Of
most OF the hogs who go up the covered way into
the gate, presented in the first picture.
