SUNDAY RESTRICTIONS.
II is the nature Of man to err, hence, what
can be expected of corporations. The fierce
contest between the members Of the commit
tee on the merits of the Sunday openings OF
the exhibition buildings ended, as has been
published, in compromise. always evi
dences of weakness.) The people can visit
the grounds on Sunday, but, they can't go in
the buildings. | as a truthful chronicler
must record this action OF the committee as
a gross error. II the exhibition is an inter
national affair, concessions should be made
to, not compromises with, the bodies corpor-
ate of the international system.
Ii is an antagonistic step placed against
foreign visitors and the foreign and Amer.

shops and factories No one has n greater
vencratiOn for the true acceptance of the
Sabbath, which is, "that the Sabbath was
made for man, and not man for the Sab
bath than your correspondent, but, must
demur to the construction placed upon its
observances by the centennial committee.
Those, who are to be the greatest of benef.
ciaries, are the uninstructed, the toiling
masses, who have but one day in seven to
breathe the pure mir Of heaven without the
walls Of labor and confinement, and i, is but
just that the "powers that be 8" should assist
in furnishing the working-man, the brains Of
the nation, with that latitude, that tends to
his elevation as an individual, his moral inn
provement, and physical advancement.

THE TONE OF THE COMMISSION.
Fault6nding, is one Of the happiest ex-
pressions of certain emotional individuals,
who only live in an atmosphere Of complaint
Nothing is good enough for these jaundced
specimens Of the genus homo. The women,
God bless them, are more feliciious in theft
conceptions of effort, and "render unto Ca-
sar the things that are CGsar's." The Phila-
delphia international exposition of the ma
tion's centennial of 1876 is the wonder Of the
century, and yet some people are dissatis-
fed.
One gentleman did not receive that exten-
sion Of courtesy, another this, or that; many
complain Of the unfinished condition of the
grounds, their inability to obtain informa.
ton from the attaches Of the different build
ings. My experience has been that the his
tory of the world, cannot present u spectacle

and progression, as the centennial exhibition.
The aesthetic principle Of the work has no
prototype In the classic past. The moral
and physical schools Of this field Of effort
