1t was first argued and brought into
public light in 1866, and from its very
onset it was deemed the most suitable
method of observing the completion
Of the first century of American ma
tional existence, and unanimously
agreed by all that Philadelphia was
the proper place for the exhibition
and after many vexatious delays it
was opened to the public in Farmount
PARK, May 10 following.
1t is classified into seven depart
ments, viz: mining manufactures,
education and science, art, machinery,
agriculture; and articles on exhibition.
except such collective exhibits AS may
receive special sanction, are classified
in these seven departments.
These departments are well ar
ranged in five principle buildings to-
gether with seperate country, state
and miscellaneous cdifices, which in
my next letter will briefly try to de-
scribe XXX.

Facts to be Remembered.

Who nominated Rutherford b.
Hayes for President ?
1T was Simon Cameron, Don Cam,
eron, Bob Mackey and Bill Kemble
who gave Mr.. Hayes the vote Of
Pennsylvania and rallied around MIN
those elements of the Republican party
whose motto was anything to beat
Blaine" Blaine being disagrceable to
Grant.
Who is conducting the canvass and
running he machine TO elect Ruther-
ford b. Hayes? 1t is Zach Chandler,
Don Cameron, and all that school Of
machine politicians.
If Hayes should be elected he would
owe his election to those men, as he
already owes them his nomination.
If he were President would he have
the determination and courage to
quarrel with the party who made him,
and without whom he would never
have been nominated and never elect.
ed? If he should engage in such 4
quarrel, could he succeed in it, and
carry through his own purposes
against his party?
The history of John Tyler and An
drew Johnson sheds a clear light upon
this problem. Without disgrace and
ruin, Mr. Hayes, If elected President,
could never be anything but 4 repre-
sentative of Grantism and as such
his election would be the continued
disgrace and the aggravated ruin OF
the country.

Nothing to do but to Go.

A wande rer I've been, and have travelled for
years,
By the stage-coach, the steamboat, the
train
have known joyful meetings, have shed
parting tears,
With friends might neer meet again,
And I've learned let my farewclls be joyous
OF sad
No haste nor distraction to show;
But, with baggage prechecked and with pass
age prepaid,
10 have nothing to do but to so.
The loterer, when over the ron-clad track
The train is heard coming apace,
For his ticket will clamor and urge for his
check
In whirl OF impatient distress,
While others, more tmeful with undisturbed
mien,
Will composedly pace to and fro,
Or, quietly seated, will wait for the train
With nothing to do but to go.
Oh thus-I have thought-when we're called
to depart
For the land whence we never return,
May we feel we are fully prepared for the
start
When the death sounding note VIC discern.
With our ticket secured and our cares all al
rest,
No disauieting thoughts may we know
But TRANQUILITY waiting, be found at the last
With nothing to do but to go. I'D. j.

The Two Worlds.

"The sun goes up, and the sun goes down,
And thousand years are but as one;
The leaves grow green, and the leaves grow
brown,
And what is i. all, when all is done 7"
Aye, what is it ALL il this life be all
But draught to lts dregs of cup of gall,
A bitter round Of the rayless years,
A saddening dole Of worm wood tears.
A sorrow:ul plant Of the spirits thrall,
The grave, the shroud, the funeral pail
This is its sum if this life be all.
But it is not all beyond this shore
A sun goes up to go down no more,
The leaves that grow green are green for aye
And the flowers that bloom do not decay.
A thousand years are indeed rs one.
But Of bitterness then the soul hath none,
And this is it all, when all is done

Letter from Philadelphia

CENTENNIAL GROUNDS, Sept. l3, '76.
EDITOR OF THE Age
As Worlds Fairs are of modern OF
igin, and are the legitimate results i'll
progress in the arts and sciences, it
would perhaps be we'll for me to occu-
py little space in briet synopsis
of the history of these great under
takings.
There has been time when each
nation enjoyed a comparative monop.
oily OF its speciality, when the Indies
supplied that continent with silk !;
Persia and Turkey furnished it with
carpets, Venice with glass and Sax
ony with porcelain the product of
all could not be concentrated, because
the desire was to retain the mystery
Of the art by which each profted.
But one by one the secrets of these
and other manufactures We're obtained
by other nations. and then monopoly
of production became no longer pos
sible in any principle branch of in
dustry, and the producers soon learned
the advantage of bringing together
the fruits Of their skill, so that the
progress each had made could be
demonstrated and stimulus thus be
given to future improvement both in
results obtained and in methods OF
obtaining them.
Thus originated what is now known
to us as World Fairs, the first of
which any authentic record is pre-.
served was held in France in 1898
and were followed up annually until
1906, when in that country industrial
progress yielded to military ambition,
for thirteen years but in 1919 they
we're revived and repeated in mos
every city in Europe, though the!
were generally confined to the countr!
in which they were held.
Probably the first exhibition de-
serving the name of Worlds Fair
was held in London in 1851, followed
by New York in 1858, Paris next II
1855, then London again in 1862, fol
lowed by Paris in 1867 and Vienna in
1878, and now in order comes Phila
delphia in 1876, designed to commem
crate the Centennial OF the Independ
ence of the United States.
And not only does this make it the
most interesting of all similar exhibi
tlons, but also it is the largest in area
the widest in scope, and the most nu
merously attended.
1t will be needless for me to detail
to you the history Of this undertaking

The Desperate Campaign of the
Republicans.

The canvass consists Oh the Rrpub-
lican side almost wholly of attacks Oh
Tildens personal and professional
character, which until now Che is &C
years old) has always been considered
very good and even so late as 1871
he was cordially treated by the New
York Times, and recommended for
election to the Legislature as man of
high character. But it is astonishing
to see how much wckedness he was
all the time keeping concealed.
Winslow appears to have been moth
ing to him in the matter Q, Hypocrisy,
for during 40 years he has been lead
ing lawyer, and the administrator OF
large trusts, and a tavorits counsellor
of embarrassed individuals and corpor.
pora,ions, without being exposed. The
chief charge against him is, however,
his appropriation of certain stock and
bonds of the Terre llaute Railroad
which we discuss elsewhere. We rer
ceive in one paper q charge that he
also "hooded Northern Michigan with
$4,OO0,0O0 of bogus money" from
which it would appear that he has
been one of the most prominent coun
terfei,ers of ancient or modern times
That he was drunk on the night o
his nomination appears to be settled
and we are in daily expectation o
hearing that he detrauded an insurance
company for arson. He also tried t'
prevent his prosecution in the "Terr'
Haute' affair by having the attorne,
of his pursucrs made corporation ooun
sci. Mr.. Hewitt made a brilliant de-
fence of him III the House of Repre-
sentatives, op the last night of the ses
sion, as regards his war record bu
in this the Times has pricked one o
two bad holes. 1t is Curious to SCI
how "charges' grow. The circula

country Democratic committees t.

our condition down here? When you
call our people 'rebcls" you do them
a great wrong. believe the people
Of the South are as loyal to The Union
as those of the North.
ASK YOU AS A CHRISTIAN,
do you think it right to be constantly
abusing the Southern people : They
have come back to the Union and full
ly accepted all ofthe amendments to
the Constitution, with all the results
Of the war. The only reason why
they have made such an effort to get
hold of their own State Governments
IS to protect themselves from the wick
ed plunderings and robbery of carpet
baggers, and every good man, white
and black, ought to join hands 10
emancipate our section from this fear
iul state OF things. Remember, that
our homes in the South are as dear to
us as yours in New Hampshire. Now
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR STATE TO
BE INFESTED
with a gang of these political thieves,
from another far off country, plunder
ing the public treasury and leaving
tax on the people too heavy for them
to bear, exciting riots and causing
bIoodshed ? | ask you, would you
help them to continue the work of de-
struction against your own people
tell you this is our condition, and the
colored people are the main agency by
which they are enabled TO do their
work and In my judgment, nothing
bat division of the colored vote can
bring peace and prosperity. which we

me to do as much for my race as this
work | have
GIVEN THIS MATTER ELEVEN YEARS
THOUGHT,
and for years | have taken great pains
to inform myself as to the true feeling
Of the people South, and these are my
conclusions FIRST. that the whites
desire to live with the colored people
in peace and quietness, and are doing
all they can to gain that object. They
do not want all of the colored people
to vote the Democratic ticket, but be.
lieve it would be best to devide their
yote'between the two parties. This
point would have been gained years
ago but for the terror of the Radical
party and its loyal leagues. There
has
BEEN NO INTIMIDATION IN THE SOUTH
worse than that practised by the car
pet-bagger party of the South. | do
not charge the colored people with
this cruelty. They are not to blame
they are only tools in the hands OF
these bad men. | have known some
co.ored men to be whipped, some
turned ont of their churches, and all
kinds Of intolcrant abuse have been
heaped upon these colored men who
dared vote the Democratic ticket. In
some parts of the South the life Of

safe. submit these facts to you as
