course, soon become Familiarity recognized
ip every section Of the country. There is
one element which enters into these pans
and renders them Of infinite superiority
to those with which the world has become
acquainted hitherto. It is this The
designs, aside from being peculiarly orig
inall and grand, and apart from their al
lirnoat extraordinary lightness, grace and
Estrspgth, have been worked up with the
lyiew Of subsequently utilizing all the
Tpieces OF cnst asldi wrought iron which
compose them, SO that there is scarcely a
foot, of iron in the immense structure
I which when the exposition is over. could
not be used for some other purpose. For
example, the sections of the roof, com
posed of light iron, will all be found so
constructed MS to be made use of for the
roofs of railway depots or for the cover
ing, Of sheds. SO it is with the colums.
spans, and arches. One rolling mill has
already made bid for the building,
agreeing to take Dack the iron which will
compose it at one half its cost after the
exposition is over. All remember how
earnestly the Belgian government desired
to purchase tho Paris Exposition building
and yet, because the the sections of the
roofwere riveted and too 9pondcrous 10
be utilized, she could not do it, SO that
structure costing millions WAS forced to
be soldas waste irion,, by the pound, for
few paltry thousands. Our architects
have taken cognizance of all these facts,
and have developed the ideas set forth
above.

Philadelphla's g Pet,

The latest private telegrams from
Washington to the Centennial Com. mis-
sioners here give every assurance that
there is no longer any doubt ofthe action
of our present Congress in their behalf
The telegrams are, of course, of strictly
personal character, but they express con.
fidcnt belief that Congress intends to
endorse the movement of the President
in regard to the proposed Centennial.
Your correspondent is enabled to state
that President Grant has prepared "a spe-
cal message, which iii n few days will he
officially submitted, containing n hrief
analysis of the movement thus far, the
national benefit to result from lis fulfil,
r',eilt,a and m earilest plea d. Il
gress to recognize it in its proper light.
PREPARATION FOR THE GREAT BuILpING
just now, more than at any other time
in the past, the movement is placed in
position to rapidly develop. Recognizing
the need of immediate action, that the
bull ling may not be unfinished at the
day of its opening, the board of Finance
have issued printed notices (Which will at
once find place in the advertising col
umns of leading journals), calling the
attention Of contractors, joiners, lumber
men and builders. and desiring them to
submit contracts for the erection of the
main structure. which,a heretofore stated
will cover the immense area of thirty
acres Of ground. The card specifies that
these contracts must be handed in before
February a.
An earnest effort will be made to rem
der the Eastern Department of the ex-
position, Which in the Vienna project was
SO Interesting, but yet SO incomplete, very
comprehensive and very full. In the
Austrian affair China took no official
stand whatever. All Chinese productions
upon exhibition there were brought over
by few appreciative and, if it is rumored
correctly, speculative Englishmcn. The
rich islands of the Pacific, China, Japan
and indeed all the little provinces and
territories under the dominion of the
Dutch, will be thoroughly ransacked, and
all their quaint and curious industries
will find n place in the beautiful Ameri-
can. Such q complete and perfect exhibit
OF the wealth and richness of the Indies
will do much toward drifting their COM
merce i'll the direction of America, San
Francisco being fully as near and under
condition of more ready access than al-
most any foreign port. 1t is believed
that a natural predisposition upon the
part OF Eastern governments will favora-
bly, incline them toward this project, and
an effort wi II lie made in this direction at
once. Tits confidently asserted that by
securing,a n steady stream of commerce
from the East we could pay every dollar
that we now owe to the West, While it is
also believed that the American Centcn.

by which this healthy commerce could be
