coming three months should secure
the presence of every child in the
United States. whose parents can pro.
cure the means to give them this op.
portunity for study and the acquire
ment Of knowledge.
There is still another inducement,
and that of no little Importance, why
our children should be present at this
Exhibition. It is our National Ami
versary, and its memories will be cher
ished for another century, and it is
almost national duty that we should
secure for our children such privileges
as they will never again have placed
before them. As time rolls on, every
parent, teacher or guardian who has
thus fulfilled his duty. will receive
the grateful thanks Of those who have
been benefited.
Foreign Interest IN the Erhi6.tsos.
The Emperors Of France and Austria
sent personal invitations to all their
imperial neighbors and friends to visit
the Worlds Fairs held in their respec-
tive cities. These invitations entail
ed heavy expenses upon the host, yet
the large number Of additional visi-
tors attracted by the regal pomp and
pageant were considered . full recon-
psnse for this expense. The Philadel-
phia Exhibition has offered no such
invitation. and yet it has already been
visited by many prominent represen-
tatives of foreign nations, and bids
fair to have its full share ere the period
of it's close
Early in its undertaking the Holy
Father was represented by the Alb
Legate Signor Roncetti. who was 30
impressed by this great work Of a Re-
public, incomplete as it was, that he
held up his hands in astonishment.
and could not sufficiently express his
surprise. The result of this visit waH
the beautiful exhibit sent by the Pope.
and now in the art collection.
The Imperial family Of Brazil will
ever be remembered with pleasure.
1t is doubtfulif any visitor to the Ex-
hibition has shown greater interest or
proved himself more conversant with
the great variety of exhibits than the
Emperor of Brazil. Sweden has been
represented by her young Prince, and
Spain BY Don Carlos, and rumor has
it that We are yet to see an heir 10
Britain's throne; the late Empress Of
France, and possibly the Shah Of Per-
STA. Thus the distance and dangers
Of the sea have not prevented Phila.
delphia receiving fair attention at the
hands of royalty.
This, however, does not comprise all
our guests from abroad. The man O,
science, the politician, the poet and
the artizan aremeeting together in the
City of Brotherly Love. All nation,

must arise, both morally and CONNER.
