the highest honors. This was to be
expected for she has been preparing
for years to do so. The London.
Paris, and Vienna Expositions were
but the schools in which she prepared
and this is the arena in which she
takes the prizes. OF course, this does
notapply to everything ibut it does to,a
great many. We will also learn some-
thing from poor, despised Spain, for
[ saw some very excellent woolen
goods in the Spanish pavilion that are
manufactured and sold at ten cents
per yard. Again we shall take lessons
from Germany and France in the man
ufacture of many articles both as to
price and quality. In the art hall, we
are far behind, for the artists of Eu-
rope have sent many of their best
works and centuries of labor in art
matters, with wealthy and privileged
c'ass have placed them far ahead of us.
except In a few instances. Until
within few years we have had no pa
irons, able to purchase the works of
genius that require months, perhaps
years to produce and hence we cannot
compete in this department But I
have said enough for to-day.

Camping Out at the Centennial.

Tne cost of living in hotels or
boarding houses at Philadelphia deters
many persons from planning to attend
the Centennial Exhibition, and many
gentlemen have thought Of camping
out near the city if grounds can be
secured. A private letter just re-
ceived from Mr.. Boyd, the General
Passenger Agent Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, says that company
will allow private parties to camp up
on their lands along the line of the
railroad, without charge for the privi-
lege. Suitable camping ground can
be secured within ten or fifteen miles
Of the city, and communication with
the Exhibition grounds can be had
by means of the frequent trains Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
To accommodate the visiting bodies
of military and other organizations,
Mr.. j. V. Vardenburgh, who is..vouch-
ed for by the Centennial Commission,
has secured plot Of land for camping,
aud has named it Camp Scott"
The grounds ha 7e postoffice telegraph
Office, restaurant, and all conveniences,
and are only mile from the Exhibi
tion building, with which there is fre
quent communication by steam or
horse railways. lis now proposed to
admit private parties to the benefits of
this encampment, and tents and camp
equipage are to be furnished to them
as we'll as to organized bodies. The
charges will be moderate. The camp
ers out will have the conveniences of
the city and can enjoy a country va.
cation at the same time, while seeing
the Exhibition, and, best of all, will
avoid the hot and crowded inns and
boarding houses.
AS compared with other Interna-
tional Expositions, that Of Philadel-
phia is, in many points, superior to all
that have preceded it. 1t lacks the
compact arrangement and general bril-
liancy of Paris, and is, of course, in
ferior in matters Of fine arts and in
Oriental productions to that of Vienna
In the display of machinery it is in
comparably ahead of anything the
world has ever seen, and tie Depart
ment of General Manufacturing has
never been equaled. AS an exhibition
Of what the Western world has done.
in all branches of human pursuit, and
means of comparing their progress
With the East, it is, Of course, unap-
preached, and that is unquestionably
its chief excellence. The representa-
tion of the nations of the world is COM
plete with the exception of Greece,
and few of the South American Re-
publics. The space covered by the
Exposition exceeds that of any pre-
vious one-236 acres is the total.

GreenbaCkers III Council.

The MASS Convention" of Green
hackers met at Madison, Wednesday.
and the dispatches say that the "mass"
numbered about dozen individ uals.
The usual forms of political conven-
ton were gone through with. The
resolutions adopted favor an exclusive,
government paper currency, intercon-
vertibe into bonds OF long time. and
low rate of interest, and receivable
for public dues; immediate repeal of
the resumption act, tariff fou revenue
only, free, non-sectarian schools, civil
service reform and an honest admins
tration of government Resolutions
were also adopted glorifying our pa
per money as based upon the faith of
forty millions of the richest people In
the world, aud nominating Judge
Davis for President " e suggest
that it is now time for the Greenback
ers to recognize the fact that our pop
ulatlon is larger than The number
which thoy give, and that when they
talk about the foundation OF our cur
rency they should say that it is based
upon the faith of forty.two millions Of
people. Two millions of people are
an important element hen one is
talking about faith, and that TOO when
faith is the national capital. The
convention appointed twenty delegates
to the national greenback convention,
j. FL. Osborne, &. P Allis, IA s.
Orton, and William Orledge, being
the. delegates at large. An electoral
ticket also was nominated with VIM.
Orledge, being the delegates AT large.
There is no danger that ii csc gentle
men will have to 90 to Madison next
December to cast their votes for a
President, and their business engage
ments can be made entirely indepen-
dent Of any such consideration. LII.

Anna DickinsOn's Debut as an Act
reSS.

A Boston dispatch of the 9Th to the
Chicago Tribune says:
Miss Anna B. Dickinson made her
oftpostponed and long-anticipated de-
but on the dramatic stage at the G lobe
Theater tonight. The Theater was
never so full before. Never was there
such brilliant audience within it's
door. Miss Dickinson was called be-
fore the cur tain at the end of every
act aud four times after the play was
over, retiring each time overturned
with flowers. And yet, with all this
it is not given to Miss Dickinson to
mount in one night the dramatic lad
der which every great actor has spent
many years in climbing. She has not
the dramatic instinct nor the genius to
take place of the training and ex-
perience which every actor must have.
Miss Dickinson's stage presence was
prepossessing. She wore light wig
and her dresses were elegant and cost
ly. Her voice was pitched in mon
atone which became intensely un-
pleasant before the evening was over,
for it, was infexible, unsympathetic,
and become endowed with sharp, vi
bratory quality when strained at all
Her gait was stacy to the last degree,
and her gestures awkward ard un-
meaning-some of them strangely so.
Her delivery was quite effective, her
pronunciation very correct, of course,
and her emphasis is never mspl; ced,
but she spoiled Anna Boleyn's great
speech by delivering it in tone of in
tense sarcasm. Her play-"Crown of
Thorns" s"-is an effective acting play.
with scenes we'll arranged, showing
dramatic instinct, in which fine acting
is wanted Its language is terse and |
epigramatical, its character we'll drawn
Miss Dicknson's first appearance was
disappointing in that it lacked origi-
nallty, soul, and real instinct. Never
theless, it showed that with the energy
and determination which she possesses
to such remarkable degree, she may
become successful actress, though [
fear not a great one

snow VEGETINE to be the most reliable

My wife has been troubled with Ca.
tarrh for many years, and at times very
badly. She has thoroughly tried every
supposed remedy that We could hear of.
and with all this she has for several
years been gradually growing worse. and
the discharge from the head was exces-
| siye and very offensive.
She was in fhis condition when she
commenced to take VEGETINE; | could
see that she was improving on the sec
ond bottle. She continued taking the
VEGETINE until she had used from
twelve to fifteen bottles. lam now han

plished the cure after nothing els

that VEGETINE is most reliable RENE

and North river, from the revenue cut
ter. He was taken in a carriage by the
Sheriff, Under-sheriff and Order of Ar
rest Clerk Stacy, to Ludlow Street Jail;
where he was admitted through the gate,
and not by the Office as usual. All he
remarked on being admitted to his cell
by Warden Watson was" Il thought ]
would come and see You again" No
person was allowed to see him tonight,
and no one but the watchman will be
permitted to enter the corridor. The
experience Of his escape has made the
officials of Ludlow street very watch full.
He will be treated precisely as other
prisoners, and allowed no privileges
His rooms are much smaller than those
previously occupied, and are accessible
only through the Warden's apartments
Tweed was visited by his son, Will.
liam NJ Tweed, Jr., and an unknown
person. They remained two hours
Tweed closed his door and. refused to b.
seen. After supper he retired and was
. not visited again during the night. Th.
prison is thronged by reporters, ant
prisoners. reporters and visitors are 81

and Sheriff Conner. He was taken oi
the Franklin in the lower bay by tn
tug Catalpa, and after. the delivery wa
made Bliss and Phelps went on boar

charge of the prisoner. Mr.. Phelp
says it was not decided yet whether tn

been served on the Sheriff calling for tn
rearrest of Tweed, should he procur
