How Three Small Children Went
Visiting.

The three little children belonging %
Mr.. j. Dreisbach, and who left home
Saturday afternoon, were found by
their father, after long search, 40 the
residence Of Mr.. ID. A. Dreisbach. who
lives about five miles south Of Tonga

They had walked all the way, with the
exception Of about two miles near TIM
Der Ridge, where they were picked up
about dark Saturday night by Patrick
Curry, who was returnisg home with a
hay wagon. He took the little ones
home and kept them all night, and en-
teavOred 10 keep them longer. but they
would not remain and trudged on their
way until they reached Stranger Greek.
Here they were stopped for a while, bur
not long. The two boys stripped OF
their clothing, and the eldest, who is II
years old, taking the little sister, aged
five, on his back, plunged into the
stream, and, followed by MS brother,
waded across, and after dressing, the
trio pursued their journey, arriving az
their uncle's house about O'Clock sun
day. about an hour in advance Of their
father, who was on their track. The

Facts and opinions.

THE MAIN HALL AND ITS ARCHITECTURAL DE-
FIoIENCIES-BAYARD TAYLoR's ENTHUsIAs-
TIC ACCOUNTS OF THE OPENING.
The correspondent of the New York
Times makes these suggestions concerning
the Main Building :-"The place has been
SO far cleared up that one can now see the
defects of the building. The nave ls al
together too narrow, and the centre shoud
have been much larger ; also there should
have been subsidiary openings of different
shapes, square and diamond, which should
have been occupied by equestrian statues,
and large bronzes, and palms, and semi
tropical plants, with fountains playing. The
scheme is too utilitarian, and the designer
did not sacrifice sufficient TO the graces, but
surrendered everything to the getting of as
much exhibiting space as possible. 10
have all cases, and no art work to break
the monotony and bazaar-like aspect, was
an error and this will doubtless be the
sentiment OF most people. The one
open place that was left in the centre
of the transept has now been occupied by a
band stand. If the authorities have any
feeling for the beautiful, or any conception
OF great effects, they will abolish it, and oc-
cupy the centre of the space with d lot of
semi-tropical plants. The eye must have
some relief from the everlasting dazzle, and
the mind must be relaxed from the constant
contemplation of shop, shop, shop. 1t is
true that this is the object OF international
exhibitions, but the commercial aspect
ought to be relieved by the introduction Of
the artistic clement, and though pictures
are properly kept apart, the statuary or
rather some of it, should have been dis
persed through the building"
Blyard Taylor's description Of the OPEN
ing, sent to the Tribune, ID very enthusiast
tic. He says :" 1t was a superb Won
derful success. No such spectacle has ever
before been witnessed in this country-pro-
baby none grander in all the essentials of
expressive show anywhere i'll the world,
since the trlumphs of the Caesars came to
an end. Thus auspiciously begins the COM
memoration of the Centennial year. y
When l compared the street-plc-
lures with those offered by Vienna, on that
raw and chilly May morning Of 1878, knew
that the scene to come would surely make
me proud and satisfied as an American.
"rhere is no great public spectacle in my
memory with which can compare it. The
parallel lines of the two halls framed the
picture on the north and south but to the
east and west, over few detached build
ings, there was only fringe of pale greer
tree-tops against the sky. All this space
nearly half mile in length by at least 25(
yards in breadth, seemed to be filed witt
people. The greatest crowd within view a
any time could not have been much lesi
than 100, 900 persons.
" / may say, generally, that the EXhibi
ton is much further advanced than wal
that at Vienna on the opening day tina
the show, while not quite so brilliant, il
fully as varied and interesting, and tina
the spectacular effect is all that could bI
achieved in such space"
