more more about Offenbach and Gounod than
they do about t'Hold the Fort" or
:.sNinety-an Nine" I never look at
these cases of dainty shoes but T always
think of female relation of mine whose
foot was fourteen, and she would insist
on trying on number eleven and half.
These things are beautiful to look at,
that is if fellow has no wife or daugh-
tiers. Sixteen dollars q pair, and dog
cheap at that; still, as nation we are
wealthy, so blow the expense. I think
there isi something exquisitely fine in the
idea Of putting the heel Of lady's shoe
about the middle Of the sole of the foot;
lin fact, I have long labored under the
that that was mistake in
our pedal ektremities, and that the toes
should be cut of. and sewed on behind !;
the manufacture iof shoes in the latest
fashion assures me that l am correct.
jacob Zain, of Philadelphia, has some
'lles, very fne boots and shoes, which, for style
and finish, are certainly worthy of all
jpraiss: Here, too, are contrivances for
ikeeping shoes from wearing out, which /
respectfully commend to the attention Of
all fathers of families. Here are Singer

by his hammer and lapstone1 1soles are

hammer them in a week.
~ Not the least interesting portion of
this exhibit is the display of India rub
,bert goods, which have: been also con-
signed to this building. I@have before
me while T write, a specimen of Gossam-
ier waterproof, by the Goodyear Compa:
rny3which it seems to me impossible to
excel. The texture is as fine as silk, and
the quality of goods as tough as India
rubber, =. 1t is fashioned into various
elegant garments and may we'll be regar-
'ded as one of the greatest of modern
botons to our domestic life. I never look
on these goods but I think of the strug-
giles f'poot Goodyear, how he pawned
the beds and pillows, and broke up the
chairs and tables in his experiments, and
then after SUCCESS came, how he fought
on his patent, and adied with
out realizing aItythe of'the interest which
his magnificent discovery deserved. A
mos. most |. important matter to visitors to the
Centennial is how to reach Philadelphia
in the most comfortable and expedicious
manner. While, of course, circumstan-
ces may frequently have a governing in
fluence in the selection the traveller may
make. Such as making appointments
with friends and the route fixed by e1-
cursion tickets, all things being equal, 1.
should unhesitatingIys say come by the
new line, via Bound Brook; the cars are
all new, the officials polite, and attentive,
and it is especially. desirable for ladies
travelling without a. male attendant.
The route is almost free from dust, and
the scenery; c,e,leir;y among the most delightful
that New Jersey and Pennsylvania af-

which is an1iously looked forward to by
all classes as one of the great events Of
this Centennial. year. It is not mere
matter of muscle and Drawn of skill and
endurance, but sort of worlds test Of
national pluck and bottom, which settles
the worlds status, of the winning, crew,
for some years, at least. Now, when it.
ISL considered that supremacy in these
.contests,is only earned BY the most un-.
'rresinitting industry, BY chastity, temper
ance and the practice Of all the virtues,
and the abandonment of all the vices, it
will be seen iof how much value it is 10
our youth to be taught that the, grand
successes of life can only be purchased
by patient industry, and that temperance
and chastity are imperative upon those
who would reach the noblest goal
These ,Britons are, hardy men, bent on
winning, if winning is possible. :. I have
seen them at work; and of this I can
