DECEMBER 8, 1876.
Editor Chronicle i haven't troubl-
ed you for Ion. time; but l have
found something SO exceptional in its
way, something so worthy of being re-
corded, something so creditable to one
of the two great parties, that l cannot
with comforl refrain from asking you
to give me space in which to make it
public. There is a Democrat here at
Glencoe-in fact there are several Dem
ocrats here; but l have found but one of
this kind-who is willing to have Gen
eral Hayes inaugurated if he is fairly
elected. This generosity will no doubt
remind you, as it has reminded me, of
the large souled magnanimity of the
California editor who expresses him
self as willing that nature shall take
her course. SNAP.

The weather was cold, feed scarce, and at
tention to that COW was by no means worthy
of encomiums. She grew thin and thinner
Her hair stood out straight, and she was what
we might call fuzzy creature. Indeed, her
furry fuzzy coat almost concealed that portion
of the animal from which the milk maid was
naturally expected to obtain lacteal fluid
enough to furnish the owners family. Great
jaggy buckle burs had become entangled in,
and almost taken possession of those furry
furbelows about that cows flank, and sadly
interfered with the fingers and snowy-whte
wrists of the maid at each milking. To pick
them out she couldn't; to continue milking
with them there she resolved she wouldn't
She had singed the fur, and remaining down,
from many picked chicken, and could do
the same with the fur and burs on that blarst-
ed COW. She Lit the match and applied it to
the fur. 1t was very dry and combustible
In less time than it takes to write it, that COW
was enveloped in a sheet of flames, and was
off her feet and up in the air bawling for mer
cy's sake. Crazed with pain and wild from
fright, she fell over a SOW and pigs, that in no
wise served to diminish the disorder The
maid screamed louder than the sow or cow,
and fell backwards over the pals. The storm
was at its heignt-it was noisy frightful
scene, and lasted but moment. The maid
gathered herself and her buckets together.
The COW ceased her gyrations and bellowings,
and upon looking over her wardrobe found
herself furless and burless, and concluded she
had been struck by lightning. Her owner
thinks so too, and they are both happy in
their opinions. The maid is happier than she
was. The COW is hairless as an elephant.

The Great Exposition.

We have received from the publishers,
Messrs. Hubbard Bros, of Philadelphia, ad-
vance sheets of forthcoming volume, which
will greatly interest every American. 1t is
entitled ''THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION DE-
sCRlBED AND ILLUSTRATED" and is a complete
history and pictorial illustration of this grand
est worlds fair the world has ever known.
Every intelligent and thoughtful person
who has visited the Exposition and compre-
hended not only its vast proportions but its
wide significance, will be glad to find it pho
tographed and preserved in permanent form
in this beautiful and carefully prepared vol
ume.
The great Exposition is really representa-
tion of all that the human race has accom-
plished during its career of six thousand
years. The nations of the earth of every
CLINE selected that which embodied their best
thoughts and their highest achievements in
every department of human effort, and bring
ing them together, invited the world to be-
hold the last and most perfect results of all
that man has accomplished in every field of
thought, industry and skill
Of the millions of our citizens who have
expended from $50 to $500 each in viewing
and studying this wonderful display, we have
never heard of one who did not feel amply re-
paid for the expense of time and money in
volved. These millions desire to study more
at leisure what they could then examine but
hurriedly, and many millions more who could
not visit and see it, desire to possess a work
which shall give them full and adequate
representation of this grand and wonderful
exhibition. To supply this urgent demand is
the object of this work 1t has been pr, :
pared from material gathered on the grounds,
by the most careful, patient and laborious re-
search, and from official sources, and though
it does not claim, as some do, to be by official
authority, it commands confidence thereby,
Gen. Hawley having announced that no book
has any right to such a claim. 1t describes
briefly the inception and growth of this grand
enterprise, but mainly the wonderful exhibits
of the Nations of the New and Old World,
showing their different peculiarities, values,
curiosities of mechanism, &C., and contrasting
them one with the other.
But the interest and value of the book lie
largely in its profuse and brilliant illustrations,
In this multitude of finely executed engrav-
ings, the main features of the Exhibition are
vividly impressed on the mind of the reader
in way that words cannot do. 1t is next
thing TO seeing the great Worlds Fair ITSELF
We advise our readers to examine the book
carefully should they have an opportunity.
We presume the publishers want agents in
this vicinity, and we hope some of our ener-
getic young men will improve what seems to
us an extraordinary opportunity to serve our
citizens and do handsome paying business.
