PHILADELPHIA, May Pain my peregri-
nations in, and around the grounds, hear
but one expression, which is, that the exhi-
bitiOn fully comes up to the standard con-
ceived of, and carried into faithful execu-
ton by its projectors. In area, architecture
al display, comforts, varied exhibits, man
agement, the exhibition of our cen ntennial
year is grand success, without any qualif-
cations. So varied are the attractions that
the most cynical can't all in being led into
enthusiasm, and the most careless will be
charmed at some speciality, that strikes the
right key, vibrating the human chords with
charming effect. | heard one Of a bevy of
sprightly girls, exclaim, Emma, let's go TO
machinery hall" What do women know
about machinery" Yet the same NINA was
ecsiacized over a Berlin vase. Thus tits there
is something for all and each. "Did you see
the wOmen's pavilion ?' said fragile blonde
to a two hundred pound avOirdupOis belle.
" Phew! bless me knaw. 1t wasn't much,
was it?' 4" Mol some little things. / don't
think much of it anyway" ' But wasn't that
soda fountain just splendid" And so it is.
All tastes are catered to, and as whole, the
exhibition furnishes dainties for the most
cosmopolitan taste.
The being with the most intense DiOgenic
instincts, will be drawn out of his tub of con-
ceit and will be skeptical no longer, but, will
cheerfully cOncede that virtue to our kind
that is developed in the industrial forces and
art examinations than dazzle the behOlder
who is sensible to works of economical effort
for the general good, and whose sensitive
ness accepts the higher and nobler results of
nervous organization in the sphere Of aes-
thetic thought.
COTTON.
The staple is creditably displayed, and
Justly so, as the extraordinary influences eK-
erted in our manufacturing circles, and its
importance in our exchange system, renders
all matters pertaining to its culture of signif-
icant interest. The foreign exhibit shows
cotton from Brazil, Egypt, Peru, Australia,
Asia Minor (Smyrna), Bengal, East Indies,
West Indies, China, Africa. Domestic-MO-
bile and Memphis UPlands. The two prize
| samples in the show cases, one from Mem
pills. the other from New Orleans, seemed to
bear off the palm. There is a cotton pavil.
| ion of foreign staples arranged in decidedly
good taste which will be detailed in another
letter.
EXHIBITS ARRIVING.
To-day we noticed a train with stuff I'd ami
mails representing the wilds of Colorado and
| Kansas, Ife-size. Buffaloes, deer, elk, and
smaller game. One entire train was unload
| ing French goods. In the agricultural hall,
| scores of boxes are being unpacked with ev-
| cry conceivable character of articles for that
/ department.. Boxes containing rare works
| of art, had been placed upon the walks pre-
| paratory to opening, and from all countries,
| and vast quantities from home are constant
| " being wheeled in to the respective apart
! ments, all of which proves that the exhibit
ton is still, The Grand Unfinished.
WILL THE EXPOSITION PAY.
Yes! as soon as the agricultural interests
are attended to, the farmers of the middle
| states will come en-fBGSSe, and from the west
ern states they will flock to the grandest fair
the world has ever seen. Many will come
from the south. The general impression pre-
| Vailing throughout the country, that the rail
road fares will be reduced, is holding many
| back; the great rush from the south will be
gin IN july, and continue throughout the
summer and fall. In the city of Philadelphia
but few of the citizens attend regularly, as
like all things near home, the many will post
pOne, and then they are aware of the untn-
ished condition of the work and await its
| completion. But from the 10th OF June tC
! the close of the exhibition, / feel assured
that paying assemblages will be in order and
that the attendance will be sufficient to am
| ply compensate in dollars and cents, the pro
prietOrs' interests for their outlay. L believe
the exhibition will not alone he remunera
tive from a financial standpoint, but, will
pay thOusand-fOld in it's teachings, in the
varied fields of utility and ornament.
