CENTENNIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

PHILADELPHIA, June IL, 1876.
The Woman's Pavilion is nearly in order,
some sculpture of Miss Hosmer being wanted to
complete the Art department.. Her copy, in
gilt bronze. of Lord Brownlow's Golden Gates,
with the sculptress, is daily expected. Here
are very full and creditable specimens of the
schools of design in New York. Boston, Lowell
and Pittsburgh, in carving, painting, porcelain,
prints and carpets. Also laces, ribbons, shawls
scarfs, cloths, photography, electrotype medals
and. of course, all kinds Of needle work.
Tapestry weaving, and various kinds of loom
work, aud matchmaking, ETC., are in daily op-
Grafton. There are some useful inventions for
practical housekeeping and other purposes. but
the great drift of woman's effort, as here dis
PLAYED, is ornamental, and shows the strong
tendency to shirk the common duties OF every
day life. I understand there are special days.
or seasons, set apart to show what women can
DO in the culinary department.. l shall be too
glad to chronicle their success in this role.
The Neeu Century for Woman, weekly pa
per printed in the building, and conducted by
the Woman's Centennial Committee, has
reached IT'S fourth number, and is as neat as q
new pin. 1t is devoted to the industrial inter
ests Of women. The engine, which does the
printing and the work of four looms, is run,
even to the kindling of the fires in the morn
ing, and blowing off the steam at night, by
Miss Alison, of st. GATHERINGS, Ontario, and
she could pass from her work to the drawing
room. and grace it. The Medical department
is most creditably represented by fine display
of pharmaceutical preparations, by the
Women's Medical College of this CITY, of
which intend to make some notice hereafter.
KANSAS AND COLORADO
have united and erected State building for
the display of their products which does them
great credit. In fact it is the most sensible
use which could be MADE of such a building.
The chief products of Kansas are corn and
wheat. Samples of corn in stalk are seventeen
feet high-eleven feet to the ear-broomcorn
eighteen. and sorghum twenty feet high.
huge Liberty bell, eight feet high, composed
of g1ain aud grasses in stalk, with huge
gourd for clapper, suspended by cucumber
eight feet long, hangs from the lofty ceiling.
Samples of all kinds of woods, stone, zinc,
lead. iron, stuffed birds, bison heads, cotton
silk, raw and manufactured, which Kansas
produces. are here in admirable order. The
show of grains is large and wonderful.
Colorado exhibits, IN profusion, specimens
OF her rich gold and silver ores. But her
great attraction Is her ife-like display of
stuffed wild native animals. Here are some
200 specimens all prepared, and most of them
killed by
