Philadelphia Letter.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. %,
Yesterday being on visit to the
Centennial grounds I took occasion,
as in outy bound, to call at the Mis-
sissippi Headquarters and register.
Tie day was the fou,th of the ex-
perimental halfrate days and the
immense crowd in attendance ex
ceeded that at the Exhibition OH
any previous day /; there were over
100000 cash admissions. The
adoption of Que day, Saturday, in
every week, as q half rate day was
at first deemed step on the part
of the management of an exceeding
~ doubtful character, but the wis
dom of the measure has been clearly
proved by the greatly increased
numbers OH that day, being very
largely in excess Of other days.
Yesterday every building was
densely crowded, and it was almost
impossible to obtain a satisfact DRY,
undisturbed view of any thing ;
there was q constant. unbroken
stream Of people flowing in and out
of each building during the entire
day. 3
The State Buildings were points
of especial interest, and seemed TO
possess peculiar attractions for the
crowd. 1 was much gratifi-d that
our State Building appeared to be
one conspicuOusly interesting to
the surging mass. while many Others
were only casually observed aud
hurriedly noticed, ours attracted
vast numbers who closely examined
and inspected every part, fingered
around it, aud filed the rooms
| throughout the day. When called
several reporters were present, who
were very busy taking notes con-
ceruing the building. it's style,
dimensions, number and kinds of
timber; they asked many questions
! in relation to the State, it's soil +.
climate, population, SC.
From what l had read before
coming here in some of our State
journals the impression was created
upon my mind that the Mississippi
Headquarters was nothing more
than a miserable shanty, a humbng
noticed but to be ridiculed, a dis
grace, a discredit to our people and
State.

visiting the building at all, aud
probably would not have done 81

ODD FELLOWS IN PHILADELPHIA

We clip the following high com.

We doubt not it will be read with

praise. In whatever way public
opinion may be divided with respec,
to the very han,lsomest pageant we

there can be no division upon this

front rank among the foremost

1t was Il grand demonstration, and

New YORK TRIBUNE: President
Seelye made speech at Hayes and
Wheeler fag-raising at Amherst,
Mass, on Saturday evening, and in
the course of it said: 81 am not go
ing to defend everything which the Re-
publican party hss done. 1t has done
much which can not be defended, and
for which it ought to be ashamed. 1t
has suffered the penalty which every
great progressive movement has suf-
fered-selfish men have sought to ride
to power on its progress, but it is a
great progressive movement still, in
stinct, to day, as it always has been,
with love of liberty and obedience 10
law, and worthy still, as it has been,
to be trusted by true-hearted men. l
would not thrust it aside because evil
men have thrust themselves into it
to fatten on its spoils-the same will
always be true of any party, but ]
would make a broad distinction be-
tween a party which attracts evil men
because its Offices are desirable, and
a party which attracts them because
its principles are congenial. The Re,
publican party is like a ship which
has made goodly voyages, to whose
keel the barnacles cling; scrape OF
the barnacles, but neither scuttle nor
forsake the queenly vessel, whose
course they have only impeded, but
whose strength they have not i'm
paired"

You are hereby notified that on the 2lst day of

and others, charging that one Charles W. Deem
conveyed to her in fee simple. March 5th, 1878,

1t is mistake to suppose that Castoria
is not adapted to grown persons as well
as Children. They only need to increase
the quantity. But children have so
many complaints for which Castoria is
adapted-like WIND CoLIC, Sour Stom-
ach, Worms, letter, TEETHING and
Group, that it is especially recommended
for them.
Its effects are more certain than Cas-
TOR OIL. 1t contains no alcohol and is
as PLEASANT TO TAKE as honey. 1t new
er gripes. By regulating the stomach
and bowels the Castoria COoLs THE
BLOOD, expels worms and prevents fe-
verishness, quiets the nerves and pro-
duces health-then of course CHILDREN
CAN SLEEP in quiet and MOTHERS CAN
REST.
Castoria is RECOMMENDED by all physi-
clans and nurses who have tried it, and
it is having rapidly increasing sale.
1t is prepared with great care after the
recipe of DIR. Samuel Pitcher, of Mass,

mi tied in his paper, the Dispatch,
that Tilden would be defeated. He
says now that he didn't mean it, that
his only wish was to "arouse the
people who are slumbering upon the
brink of precipice," and that per-
sonally he isn't the least bit despon

dumped into one pile, and disposed

you want with that hoeopathic
