THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION.
From tie Times

The majority Of Congress, and, in fact, near
ly all the officials Of the Government, were in
Philadelphia on December II, IS, and 10, in
response to the invitation of the Centennial
Commission, inspecting the progress OF the work
upon the buildings and grounds for The Exhjbi-
ton. The visit was decidedly successful, and
will result in the accomplishment CT the object
in view-the appropriation by Congress of the
81, 100000 asked for the completion of the
work. This, as one OF the speakers at the ban
quet remarked, was the only occasion when the
Government had moved en- nasse out of Wash
ington, excepting when they were driven out
by the British in 1914. December is, when
the inspection was made, was piercingly cold,
and, although the banquet was laid IN the Hor-
t~iculturaI Hall, where heating arrangements
were provided, it was impossible to secure a
temperature high enough for comfort. Presi-
dent Grant stood it as long as he could, and
then put on his hat while at the table to keep
warm. This signal was followed by a general
d3nning of hats, Overcoats, and furs throughout
the hall. About 600 persons attended the
banquet, there being a high table for the Pfesl-
dent and leading guests, while the others sat
at Is tables, representing the original 13 States.
Despite the temperature, the banquet was
, 1876-02-02

greatly enjoyed, and addresses we're delivered
eulogistic of the Exhibition by Chief Justice
Waite; Senator Oliver P. Morton, of Indiana;
ex-Speaker Blaine, of Maine John Hancock,
of Texas Governor Bedle, of New Jersey ;
G. w, Harrison, of Illinois; and the Hon.
George Bancroft. The chairman at the BAN
quet, John 9. Bullitt, of Philadelphia, opened
with an address describing the work, and
stating that while the money necessary to
complete it could easily be borrowed, such a
course was deemed improper; hence the call
upon Congress. General HawIey, who pre-
sid $ over the Centennial Commission, and
John Welsh, chairman fits Board of Finance,
also delivered brief addresses. The Congress
si)nal visitors, like all who first behold the
Exhibition preparations, were astonished at
the great size of the buildings, the large scale
of the plan, and the completeness of detail. All
the larger buildings, excepting the Agricultural
Hall, are now practically complete, and the
grounds, as seen from George's-hill, appear
like a large and busy city.

Ihe only year IN which the shipments OF
sugar have exceeded 1OO,0 900 bids. was 1871,
when the total amounted to 104, 2O4 hhds.
but in the following year it fell to 50, O22 hhds.
Avery large quantity of canes which should
have been included in this years crop, remain
uncut, and will go to swell the return for
1876.
The weather during the last two months has
been much too heavy for reaping operations,
and many estates nave still a large breadth of
canes left over which were intended for the
crop of 1878. Had the weather been more
favourable for reaping the crop of 1875 would
have been the largest ever produced in the
colony and with the large turn over of ripe
canes there is every prospect of the make to
30th June next reaching $4,000 hhds. There
are some enormous yields, touching 4 hhds. of
granny sugar per acre, and that over a large
area of land. With such a yield planters need
have no fear of the other sugar producing
countries, whether Beet or Cane. The growing
canes promise better than at the same time last
year; SO that with a continuance of such prices
ss those quoted by this mail, planters have
, 1876-02-02

reason to look forward to a good year. The
rainfall for 1875 is considerably under that of
1874, but it has not been evenly distributed,
and the months of October and November
which are generally looked upon as fine months
for gathering in the crop, were last year more
like June weather.
Sugar may be quoted nominally at $3.50 to
$40 for V.P.

SUNSET Cox AS A NEWSPAPER REPORTER.
Mr.. S. S. Cox good-naturedly undertook
reporter's task the other day, and congress-
men as well as reporters will be interested
in noticing the way he did it. This is
specimen of his style: 90 Your reporter left
here this morning and desired me to tele-
graph YOU concerning the obsequies OF the
lamented statesman whose body has just
gone from this peaceful Virginia Valley into
the beautiful Ohio Valley, whose people SO
Justly preferred and honored him. rms
SPOT is remote from the whirl and swirl OF
DIR active American life. Just now there
are 800 of the gentlest-mannered and most
sympathetic people I ever met passing
their time in quiet and rest, and from
among these Mr.. Kerr's spirit passed away,
and his body is, as write, already nearing
the railroad ut Goshen, and will soon be on
its way to Washington, and thence to New
Albany. Almost in 4 mass the kind people
OF this place met to gaze at the features OF
the dead. with no idle curiosity, but to
honor with sincere respect him who had so
often championed their rights and interests
in the Federal Legislature. l rode with the
escort to the brow OF the mountain, and
there babe them farewell; and as l looked
down on the scene in the valley, made still
more sad by its mournful music, the siad.
ows were creeping over the amphitheatre OF
the mountain, and all but the memory Oh
these last melancholy days departed with
the light. ''-Ne,1 York Tribune.
