e9i4 iassT THE CENTENNIAL, AjiH ~
despite the terrible heat is attracting cttTin
greater crowds than ever. The attshdance
is steadily on the increase, and the interest
increases day by day. The departments
are now all perfected, all the articles that
win betin the show are there, and you tIs can
now see all that there win be to see. The
verdict Of the people who have attended
all the world expositions is that this is as
much superior to Vienna as Vienna was
superior to Paris-in shot, that it is inf
nitely beyond anything the world ever saw,
or probably viii see for a hundred years to
come. The best machinery. Of the world is
there, the best art of the world is to be
seen there, and, in the matter Of the curl
ous and rare in laces, embroideries, etc,
no such collection has ever been made. It
is curious to see the crowds Of women about
these departments, and to hear their com
ments. In the English department there
are pair OF napkins-nOt towels, as q
fashion writer in a New York paper said
the thread in which was spun and the cloth
woven and the embroidery done by Queen
Victoria. Icahnot say as to whether the
napkins are superior to any one else's:but,
as they are entirely the werk Of royalty [
suppose. they must be. TheQueen has al
50 on exhibition 3 number Of paintings by
herself and her daughters, which are real
ly good, royalty or no royalty. The time
to come to the Centennial is now. The
heated term is wen nigh over, and you
have now room to see what is 10 be seen,
and there is as much to be seen now as
there will be at any time. Fares are down,
the landlords are now civil and reasona-
bic, which viii not be the case when the
rush commences in September; and you
can keep cOolin Philadelphia If you win
observe common prudence and the ordinary
rules Of healthful living. Come, and come

i THE PILL MEs. s1
- There is something the matter with the
pill men. Heimbold, the Buehu man, is
still in an insane asylum, and now James
C. Aver, the proprietor and manufacture
Of cherry pectoral and dozen other pro
prietary medicines has gone insane and is
an inmase Of a private asylum near New
York. He made his escape the other day,
and got into the city, and conducted him
self so like sane man-that is he bor-
rowed money-that bis friends did not
know that he was insane till his physicians
got on his track and btought him back.
His insanity was caused BY oyer-work. For
thirty years he has made and pushed nos
trums, for the sole purpose Of making mon
ey., He made millions, butt all did him
no good. He attempted to get recognition
as public man, but the fact that bs had
made his money in pills Easagainst him,
and he was compelled to give way to men
who, probably we're no better than himself.
His friends, as were these Of HelmBold,
were Of the class Of tOadies who were will
ing to eat his dinners. and 50 he finds him
self st an advanced age, with millions Of
money and nothing elss.S And the worry
Of all is, that be has nothing to spend bis

The depreciation in the prices of goods
is shown as much in such articles as tea as
There are hundreds Of houses
in the city that have made immense for
tunes in tez and coffee, but they have been
very industriously loosing their aecumula-
tions in the last four years. There has
been q steady depreciation in the value Of
this staple, until at the present time it is a
long way below the befors-the-war prices.
In 1853. the price Of the best young hyson
was 80 cents per pound, at wholesale. In
~, it got up to &c., but to-day it is a
drug in the market at so. And the other
grades are in the same state pf health, and
the marketshows every tendency towards q
still further decline. Where it viii end,
the oldest tea-merchant can't tell. The
United States consumes pound Of tea per
annum for every man, woman and child,
making the annual importation about 50,
000, 900 lbs. Those Who had stocks on
hand when the decline set in, have gone In
to bankruptcy, and the old houses and the
new ones that were strong enpngh 10 hold

in other lines Of goods, as in teas. A suit
Of clothes that cost before the war $40, can
be had in New York now for that money,
provided it is Of American cloth, and Il 1t
