the rule of 1876.
THE TONE OF THE COMMISSION.
Fault-indng, Is one OF the happiest ex-
pressions of certain emotional individuals,
who only live in an atmosphere of complaint
Nothing is good enough for these iaundiced
specimens of the genus homo The women
God bless them, more felioitous in theft
conceptions of effort, and 'render unto Cae-
sar the things that are Casar's." The Phila-
delphia international exposition of the ma
tion's centennial of 1876 is the wonder of the
century, and yet some people are dissstis-
fed.
One gentleman did not receive that extern
sion of courtesy, another this, or that: many
complain of the unfinished condition of the
grounds, their inability to obtain informa-
ton from the attaches Of the different build
lngs. My experience has been that the his
so astounding In its creation, development
and progression as the centennial exhibition.

prototype IN the classic past. The moral
and physical schools of this field of effort
shade the monuments of past centuries.

shape mans curiosity may assume. In this
city of brotherly love, and sisteriy, too the
latter, like the Italians eases of art, are in
some instances marked fragile, everybody is
gazing at everybody else; all seem as ifsome-
body was expecting the other somebody
The flying, gyrating trip of his Majesty Dom
Pedro has sensatiOnalized the mass, and now
each stranger Is surveyed critically from the
apex OF his Uranium to the points of his Pc
dalities, upon the supposition that beneath
the garment German diaphragm beats in
unison with the gurgle of the current of
lager, or perhaps Gaul whose soul looks to
French successes on the Rhenish frontier. or
a bold BritOn, who. with his nobility encased
IN excluslveness, a threadbare garment in
this country, wonders at the easy manners of
the citizens of this Z" blarsted country" No
American should feel especially grieved at
the British for their mistakes in the 18th CEN
