GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE

Have been made by tho indefatigable explorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view 8 multitude of new men, whose names are in every ones mouth. and of whose lives every one is anxious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only iu the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in ss. ,,......--- Permanent and Authentic History.
 In preparing the present edition for the press it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an &C., curate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in litera- ture, and of the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give succinct and original record of the progress of

From our Regular Correspondent
Philadelphia, May 9th, 1876.
If the success Of the Centennial Show
could be fairly measured by the attendance
during the first week after the opening i.
would be a good time now to take back
some ofthe glowing and extravagant things
that have heretofore been said. 1t has
really been an exceedingly duh week, with
considerably less than 90, 600 average daily
attendance But this state of facts is
simply IN the natural order of things
and not in the least disc0uraring. The
itself been enough to keep everybody at
home: and then the Impression has got
abroad-and it is correct too-that the Tx.
hibitcn lacks a good deal of being ready.
The unfinished condition Of the walks and
numerous buildings, together with the mud
and rubbish and the work of uupackiug
one has still 10 encounter about the grounds,
are - no means features CALCULATED to al
tract, When it is known that tons of ex-
h.bits are arriving daily, people naturally
feel there is no hurry, Rut this is no in-
dication that they wont come by and by.
The success of the exhibition is assured
both by its immens.ty and the interest and
enthusiasm manifested everywhere, especi-
ally on the opening day. Ii is stated that
considerable disappointment is felt by the
Centennial direction and in business circles
generally ct the limited numbo or, and what
they are pleased to term the seyere econo-
my, of visitors. So far as the exhibition i3
concerned there is no occasion for msgiv-
ing. When the pressure OF spring business
shall be over, and the Exhibition complete
for inspection, the people will come from
every section, not TO parade the streets and
gaze in the shop windows, but to cluster
about the great fairy-land in the Park and
study its beauties day after day, until they
are content, and then most OF them will go
away to return for a farewell visit in the
autumn to what This generation can never
see again. 1t may be that the estimates
early made of the millions of visitors will
prove little jules Verney, but the people
are certainly coming
But for the thousands of speculative
schemes organized solely to pluck the un-
suspecting people who are to come here no.
body will have sympathy. They went upon
the theory that fool and his money are
soon parted and that the city would be
overrun with people anxious to spend their
accumulated wealthy or that they would be
naked and hungry and they would take
them in; and there was to be famine Of
provision and harvest of greenbacks.
But they counted their chickens before the
