: further notice, from 2 to p. NJ.
a "A periodical is to be printed at the
8 Centennial <ktounds to be called the
: Weekly WomdR. Not n very strengthy
!, name.
: Foreigners wonder that the Indian
, does not make his appearance In some
shape. They say they can see sewed
shoes and painted crOckery on Regent
, street, but an Indian camp they cannot
see.
The following alteration and addi-
. tion have been made to the list of spe-
cial displays already announced: Early
grass butter and cheese, June &c to July
6, instead Of June 13 to IL; graper, Oc-
tober 10 IA.
The list of special prizes offered un-
der the auspices of the Bureau of Agri-
culture is constantly increasing, and
promises to add much to the spirit of
competition already rife in the Agri-
cultural Department.
Eye heather gods! how men do
guzzle!" calculated Olive Logan, after
contemplating the Centennial side
shows. She might have cast q back
action glance at herself and added, eye
heathen gods! how women do bustle."
"A business man who understands
the value of advertising, occupies an
entire page of a recent number of the
London News in setting forth the ex-
cellence of the goods exhibited by him
at the Centennial. His advertisement
Is in sixty-four different languages.
"A party of Turks have opened ba-
zaar not far from the unfinished Turk
ish coffee-house for the sale Of paper
knives, little boxes i'm the form of books,
strings of beads, and many other tri-
fies, all made of olive wood from the
mount Of Olives-sO the turbaned mer-
chants say.
| The California building will be
open at about the middle Of June, when

on the grounds kept by native or natu- |
rallied Americans is there any adequate |
representation Of American wines ON |
the bills of fare. In whole page COW |
cred with the names of foreign drinks |
one finds three or four kinds only of |
native wines, and those, as a rule, of |
the most ordinary quality.
What remains of Commodore Per-
ry's flagship Lawrence will shortly be
placed upon exhibition at Philadelphia. |
1t has been taken from the harbOr of |
Erie and will be shipped piecemeal. At
the close it will be cut up and sold for
canes, chairs, &c. The hull of the Law
renee has laid for sixty years in Misery
Bay, where il was sunk after the battle.
One of the features of the women's
pavilion is large collection of stuffed |
animals and birds killed by Mrs. Max
well, known as the California huntress. |
A buffalo, Rocky mountain lion, and |
a grizzly bear are included i'm the col
lection, viewing which the stern sex I
cannot but admit that woman has some
qualifications for the exercise of the
right of suffrage.
Governor Bedle of New Jersey will
be the orator at the unwilling of the
WitherspOOn statue in the Park, notifi-
cation Of his acceptance of the invita-
ton extended to him by the subcom-
mittee of the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church having been re-
ceived yesterday. The unveiling, which
was to have taken place June 3, has
been postponed for several weeks.
The Centennial year has brought
old people, especially women, into great
popularity, and there is not a town in
New England that cannot show an an
cient dame who danced with Washing
ton; remembers reading the Declara-
tioL of Independence the week after it
was issued; has cut and made her own |
dresses for ninety years, and now jumps
rope as a daily recreation. and reads
diamond print without the of glasses. .
The Boston Post remarks: If the :
Centennial authorities should see fit to !
offer prize for the pink of pOliteness
it is questionable whether American
at Philadelphia could stand
any chance by the side of their foreign :
brethern. Take, for instance, the man !
ner adopted by the different exhibitors /
in giving notice that their goods are I
not TO be handled. The blunt Yankee
"harids off," printed in bold letters and /
in half dozen places on every
case, looks brusque beside the courteous .
"please not handle" of the English ex- .
hibitOrs, and the still more polite "vis-
itOrs will confer a favor" etc., etc.,
which is the way the request is worded
by the French. Egyptians and others.
The French phrase, "Embarras de
richess," is the one that applies to the
difficulty that confronts visitors on their 9
entrance within the Centennial. 1t has,
therefore, been thought worth while to
plan out tour or route that will ena-
BILE a person to see the most within |
visit of one day. Enter the Main Bull !
ding at the east door Of the grand GEN.
trail aisle. Go at once up stairs to the
Massachusetts, Educational Department,
which Is in the gallery overhead of the
entrance. From this gallery a grand
vista is obtained of the Main Hall. Pass
down the main isle to the middle of the
building, where the central transept
crosses, and the visitor will have gone
through the end devoted to the United
States. Then pass out the right-hand I
door and through Memorial Hall, and {
thence to the art annex. Retrace the {
course and come back again to the Main q,
Building, walk up to the top of one of c
the towers of the Main Hall, and there
can be had general view of the geog- j
raphy Of the grounds. Coming down
again proceed to the end of the Main I
Hall, passing during this walk, along !
the displays made by foreign countries. ,
Pass now to Machinery Hall and walk {
to the centre to the Corliss engine; then
to the large tank, and returning again
to the long lines of Machinery Hall pro-
ceed to the end of it and go out the west
door. Go up by the Catholic Fountain
to the Japanese Building and pass to
the English cottages. If the visitor has
a State building inquire for it, and visit
the State agent. Then go to the United
States Government Building, thence to ,
the Women's Building, thence to the I.
Horticultural Building. A stroll through
the grounds towards the Main Building
will show many structures devoted to
specialties or built by foreign govern
ments. Visitors arriving by Pennsyl-
vania Railroad will do best to enter at
