We have taken pleasure in examining the draw

specimens of this interesting work of the children
has been placed upon sheets of proper size, and
bound in covers of convenient form for exhibition
at the centennial. There are samples Of work
from all the grades, from the primary up to the
high. 1t truly gratifying to notice the graceful
curves, the straight lines and ornamental dashes
of the pencil, exhibited in these drawings executed
some of them by children of seven or eight years.
They are drawn either from the blackboard, flat

An earnest and patriotic appeal is made in our
columns by one Of our we'll known citizens, in be-
half of the erection in this city of soldiers mon
ument. This duty has too long been neglected +;
and now in this Centennial year, let something be
done by the citizens of Augusta, showing that we
have a spark or two of patriotism that is not en-
tirely extinguished. The lot alluded to by our
correspondent is the very one that we suggested
in these columns two or three years since no bet
ter place can be found for the purpose in the city
none where the monument would be so conspic-
uous, constantly teaching, by object lessons, the
duty and beauty of patriotism. We are almost
certain that Col. Stanley will respond at once to
the appeal made to him. Thi, act alone will en-
sure the success of the enterprise, as the city will
certainly assist, and liberal contributions from cit
liens follow. The ball in that direction is set
rolling by our correspondent, who makes the gen.
erous offer of one hundred dollars.

Brazil at Philadelphia.

Dom Pedro of Brazil who is expected
to be a conspicuous figure at the OPEN
ing of the Philadelphia exhibition, late
ly celebrated hia fiftieth birthday. On
the same day was baptised the Emper-
or's grandson and heir apparent of the
house of Braganza, the son of the
Princess Isabella and the Comte d'Eu.
The same day was also the day fixed for
the opening of a national exposition,
the fourth or the expositions which
have been held in Brazil. All the arti-
cles exhibited have been or will be seni
to Philadelphia, and the accounts OF
the riches of the display are we'll adapt
ed to excite lively prospective interest
in the Brazilian department of our Cen
tennial exhibition. Most extraordinary
exertions have been made to obtain sam
pies of the natural products of Brazil.
Extraordinary difficulties had in many
cases TO be overcome, on account OF
want of roads and means of transporia-
tion. But the government and the mer-
camille classes are ,horoug ghly earnest in
their desire to raise the country out oi
its commercial isolation, and the results
of their efforts are confidently expected
to produce a profound impression al
Philadelphia. Probably few foreigners
they say, are fully aware how rich Bra
zil is, not only in diamonds, precious
stones, mines Of gold, copper, iron, etc
but in textile and medical plants here
tofore almost unknown.
