take The Main Euilding first. and

Eut my first day here d'spclled oil

Ill | was far out of my right course.
So | have givcn up all IDEA OF it, aud
wander round at will, lin,'iag it Il
much better way. The view & on
the eastern entrance of tl,c NJ /
Building is very fine. Looking
down the center avenue, he entire
length of the buj'dins) lined on bo,h
sides by beautiful pavilions filed
with gorgeous exhibits, together with
the gaily dressed people promcnad-
ing, form dazzling picture and one
| shall never forget.
On the right ithc cntranc, is the
space devoted to The exhibits Of IT,
alv. This is one of the most inter
csting of all the pavilions. There
are 5cautiiul paintings, statuary, mo-
saics and carvings. Eut most of the
paintings and statua'y are reserved
for the Art Gallery. This morning
when entered, | observed a large
number of people congrcya,cd
around Il new mosaic that had Just
arrived. 1t is a beautiful thing, rep
rcscnting the Cathedral 1T Milan, by
moonlight. 1t is dohc in mothcr.oi-
pearl, the pieces being very small,
and SO arranged that .hc changing
shades of the pcail represent the
shadows.
There is bcdstcad and dressing
case taken from the ruins o.. Pom
pei, on which the carving is won
dcr,ul, and must have required years
of toll and patience to have executed
it. | WAS surprised at seeing tnis,
i'or | had never heard ihat the Ital-
isns were skilled in this direction.
After viewing ltaly to my satisi,c-
ton, my attention was drawn across
the avenue by a pavilion gaily deco
rated with orange, red, blue end

an9c Free Stale. On one side, ar
ranged in cases, are birds OF The most
beautiful plumagc, ranging in size
from the ostrich to the hummnr-
bird. Opposite were the eggs of the
b:vds, arranged in the same manner.
There is one curious little orna-
mcnt that attracted considerable at
tcntion. 1t is small Statue OF Pres
idcnt Grant ia Uniform, made by
lady. The wires arc very fine and
delicate, some of them hardly per-
ccpt.blc, woven in the shape re-
quired.
1t would be useless to attempt to
describe the Chinese and japanese
pav'lions. There is everything that
is attractive and interesting to look
at, but i'm possible 10 describe. A lit

is the lliawiian pavilion. The en-

The existence of our form of govern

QUITE a lively debate on the Center

QUITE lively debate on the Centen-
NAL Bill took place in the House Satur.
day. Mr.. HOLMAN of Indiana, the an
thor of the anti-subSidy resolution passed
few weeks since, spoke strongly against
the measure. He also quoted letter
from some person characterizing the
Centennial Commission as ring. This
excited the Ire of Messrs. RANDALL snd
KELLEY both of whom made indignant
replies, and there was for while, a
chance OF very pretty quarrel. Quiet
finally ensued, however, and notice was
given that the previous question would
be called, and vote taken at 8 P. NJ.
tomorrow, Quite an unexpected oppo,
stion has been manifested to this bill
and its passage is by no means Ger
tainty.

ISSUES NOT OF a POLITICAL
CHARACTER.

The Martinsburg Statesman having
cast some reflections on Mr.. LOGAN, the
member OF the Democratic State Execu-
tive from Berkeley District for not hav-
ing secured the holding of the next
State Convention at Martinsburg, that
gentleman addresses u letter to Col
THOMPSON. OF Parkersburg asking HIM
TO make a statement of the action of the
Committee and the reasons for such ac-
ton. Col. THoMpsoN's reply ispublished
elsewhere.
It seems to be universally conceded on
the part of the Democracy of the State
that tho Third Congressional District is
entitled TO the nomination for Governor
and with that view it seemed proper that
the Convention should DE held in that
locality, in order that there might be
full attendance of delegates from that
section, SO that there might be no COM
paint that the wishes of the Democrats
Of that section were not represented, as
might be the case if the Convention
was held In n remote locality
where a full attendance could not be
secured, but would to great on
tent be represented by proxy. Unfortu-
nately there is sectional feeling between
the upper and lower ends OF the State
which is to be deprecated As far as the
Capital removal is concerned, that is
question that does not belong to the poll
tics of the State and ought not to be al
lowed to enter as disturbing element
into the Democratic party. Democrats
and Republicans alike voted for removal,
and Democrats and Republicans voted
for retaining the Capital ut Charleston.
Those delegates who voted To remove
the Capital from Wheeling to Charleston
in the first place did not repre-.
sent any political combination, but
merely represented a sectional interest.
Just so in regard to the vote last winter
on the Capital Removal bill, the dele
gates did not vote as Democrats or Re-
publicans, but voted as they thought the
local interests of their constituents re-
quired. These gentlemen should not be
singled out as targets tor they simply did
what any one else occupying their po-
si,ions would have done. A First or
Second District man has just as much
right to say that he will not vote for
member of his own political organization
for an office because that individual voted
to keep the capital at Charleston, as
Third District man to vote against
an individual from the First or Second
District because he voted for the removal.
1t is the policy Cor the Republicans to
fan this frebrsnd in the Democratic
ranks, but any ordinary observer can
see that it is not disturbing the har-
mony Of the Republican camp in the
least, although some little talk on that
side may brighten timid individuals like
Judge BERKSHIRE, who placed himself
In rather ridiculous attitude in his legis-
lative record, for fear that his chances for
the Supreme Judgeship might be blasted

Modern Women.

1t is a sad commentary upon our boast
cd civilization that the women Of our
times have degenerated in health and
physique until they are literally race
Of invalids-pale, nervous, feeble and
back achy, with only here and there Il
few noble exceptions in the persons of the
robust, buxom ladies characteristic of the
sex in days gone by. By very large
experience, covering period OF years,
and embracing the treatment of many
thousands of cases of those ailments pecu-
lar to Women, DR.. Pierce. of the
Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, n. u, has
perfected, by the combination of certain
vegetable extracts, natural specific,
winch he does not eXtol rs a cure all, but
one which admirably fulfils a singleness
Of purpose, being most positive and re-
liable remedy for those weaknesses and
complaints that sfilict the women of the
present day. This natural specific COM
pound is called DR.. Pierces Favorite
Prescription. The following are among
those diseases in which this wonderful
medicine has worked cures rs il By mag
c and with a certainty never before at
tanned by any medicine: Weak back,
nervous and general debility, falling and
other displacements of internal organs,
resulting from debility and lack of
strength in natural supports, internal
fever, congestion, Inflammation and ulcer
alton and very many other chronic dis
eases incident to women, not proper TO
mention here, in which, rs we'll as IN the
cases that have been enumerated, the
Favorite Prescription affects cures-the
marvel ofthe world. 1t will not do harm
in any state or condition of the system,
and by adopting its use the invalid lady
may avoid that severest of ordeals-the
consulting of family physician. Favor
tie Presc Upton is sold by dealers in med
!cines generally.
