tries, scenery and natural charac-
teristics of Japan, and their very
radencss instead of Offering any
difficulty to apprehension but adds
to the charm of the works. The
process to which l have been forced
to give the unsatisfactory name of
"quilting" is one of the very queer
est things that has been submitted
to foreign eyes. 1t consists of the
building up of figures by patient
tailor. work; layer after layer of silk
Ell, WOODEN, or other materials being
sewed or glued upon each other.
Not only clothing is formed in this
way, but every variety of natural
object. Faces are generally paint
ed, and the addition of real clothes
has the oldest, yet most comfort
able effect conceivable.
The humor of the japanese is seen
especially displayed in these deco
rations. Some of the groups are
truly comical in idea and compost
ton, and the fun is OLA gentle, good
sort-showing the evident kindly
disposition of the people. Another
class of subjects shows that Beard
and other modern artists were not
wholly original in their personifica-
tons ofhuman peculiarities in crea-
lures of II lower order. Some cap
ital humorous illustrations of this
kind arc shown in these quilted and
painted pictures. One in particu-
lar is cxtravagantly funny; it is n
procession Of grasshoppers andother
insects, headed by soldiers, and
carrying in the centre of their force
palanquin in which reposcs some
mighty Daimio. All the actors in
the scene are bugs and insects of
various kinds, the most preposter-
ousl y funny of the number being
the 'hoppers, who are as near ma
ture as the most ardent pre-Raph-
aclitist could desire. l trust no
one will neglect to give the screens
and pictures from Japan the closest
attention. They will be found in
tho highest degree instructive, and
will give the visitor new and thor
ough ideas of the strange cultiva-
ton ofthc mystic empire. But 9TH
er features of this department and
the Chinese display must be re-
served for another letter, or | shall
exceed my space and weary your
readers.
The excessive heat of the past
two weeks has not been without
some effect upon the grounds, cs-
pccially during the last few days.
The attendance has not been very
materially diminished because many
Philadclphians have taken refuge
from the sweltering city in the cool
er brcczes Of the Park. Yet even
here prostratiOn and illness have
resulted from the intolcrable tenn
pcraturc, in u few cases. More of
this weather is to be expected for
two or three weeks to come, and
then, when we get on the shady side
of summer, and the farmers get
their crops secured, we may expect
the whole country to enjoy a trip
hithcr.

The difficulty of getting pure Teas of
really fine quality in the United States,
has induced TIE WELLS TEA COMPANY
to ship their Teas in scaled packages
direct from the gardens i'm Which they
are grown, and rs further guarantee
of their being delivered In their gen
uinc state, they cntrust the sale Ofthcm
only to reliable Agents-thc name of
the nearest Agent to you IL printed ut
the foot of this advcrtiscnlent-sO that
the Teas pass through none but rcspOii-
sible hands, and will bc delivered at
your own door as fresh us when they
left the gardens of China and Japan;
the price also is printed on each pack
age, so that no error can occur.
Everybody buys Tea.
Everybody wishes to buy it Mt first
hands--tle best qualities at the lowest
prices.
Everybody dcsircs-when they find
Tea suitable To their tastcs-tO he Ger
tain of getting the same article always.
You can have all these advantages
by buying of
The Wells Tea Company.
Because they import their own Teas,
and sell them at wholesale prices
without the six or eight intermediate
profits usually charged.
Because the quality Is better ut the
price than is sold by any other house.
Because their long experience in
China and Japan enables them to make
better selections than ordinary Dealers
and to import them with greater ad-
vantagcs.
Because they absolutely guarantee
the quality of all their goOds-and keep
them to one invariablc standard, so
that you can always rely on them.
Because they do business for cash
only-and therefore make no extra
profit from good customers to cover
losses by bad debts.
Because their agents are responsible
and reliable mcn--who deliver Teas
precisely as received fromthe Company.
Because having once tried these Teas,
you will not need to go elsewhere here
after.

CORRESPONDENCE,

EDITOR STAR:-With pleasure I
will try to keep your readers posted
about the Black Hills, as our for
mer ncighbors write-I think, as it
is. Fred Lohff writes in his last
letter that he is coming money.
August Picrcestof writes that he is
receiving Il perday for twelve hours
work. lie is mining for Compa-
ny which takes out $1,000 every
week, in dust. He writes that he
pays SO II week for board. There
are other mines in their vicinity
which pay as well. They are at
Whitcwood City.
Plenty of rain here at present,
and crops look well, except wheat.
That is short, but we'll filled. Corn
is big; potatoes are large enough to
market; green peas have passed by,
and are considered out of season,
now.
The people here are making cx-
tensive preparations for the COM
ing Fourth.
When November rolls around
shout will go up here, as unto
thunder,for Hayes & Wheeler; theirs
being about the only names known
or thought ofsincc their nomination
by the Convention. QUIX.

Farmers of Michigan, will you aid
the State Board in filling this de-
partmcnt of the Exhibition? With
out your voluntary cooperation, it
cannot be so filed as to do credit
to our State. Other States are do
ing nobly, and we would not be be-
hind them in this enterprise. Mich
igan is grain growing State; and
her fine winter wheat has world
wide reputation. 1t is for the in
tcrcst, not only of the State, but
every citizen of the State, that this
reputation be sustained; and cred
liable samples of every product Of
Michigan be placed on exhibition
at this great International Fair.
From the present prospects of the
coming harvest, the almost univer-
sal complaint, which came from
nearly every section of the State,
that the quality of cereals produced
last year was inferior, will be re-
moved; and samples from the grow
ing crop can be placed OH cxhibi-
ton, that will do full credit to the
State. Finer or better grain and
grass were seldom if ever seen than
are now standing in the fields of this
State; and could we have well Sc
lcctcd samples of all the different
varieties of wheat, oats, barley, rye
and grass, from the present crop,
we should have no fears of the re-
suit.
But how can these be obtained
unless the farmers who own the
fields, and harvest the crops, select
them. a few hours in your fields
is all that is needed to do the work.
We want the best samples of all the
different varieties ofgrain and grass
cs grown in the State. Select with
care and cut close to the ground so
us to show length and quality of
straw, as well as heads. Put up in
sheavcs about four inches through
at the bands, and label plainly, CIV
ing name of variety, by whom raised,
location aud such other remarks as
may be deemed Of interest. Fine
samples of shellcd grain of two
quarts each, will be very acceptable.
We also want more samples of wool,
from the hocks Of the State. Will
