which the Maurescue and grotesque
predominant. On the occasion Of the
opening, we had music by the band, con-
gratulatory, patriotic, and mutual lauda-
ton speeches by the Pacific slopers.
The national resources Of the country,
its big trees, rich mines, high mountains,
and great men :were duly advertised.
The orators, it was plain, were speaking
for the one or two hundred newspapers
published beyond the Sierra Nevada
mountains {; and not one of them would
decline a nomination to congress or to
the State legislatures. The lesson
taught by this display was that Caiifor-
mia sophomore, blatherskitc and dema-
gogue does not differ from the genus in
the east.
Hon. James Campbell OF Pa, who re-
ported the bill authorizing the construc-
ton of the Pacific railroad was called up
on /; he related the obstacles encounter.
ell in securing the passage of the
bill during the progress Of the war, and
elected rounds OF applause when he
showed how the country had been benc-
fitted by the road, what it had accom-.
pli.hcd for the Exposition, and when lie
repeated the words of Lincoln that no
official act Of his life had given him more
pleasure than the signing OF the bill
authorizing the construction Of the road.
Ex-Governor Curtin was the next
speaker: he assumed sarcastic tone hc
had not heard the preceding speeches, and
wss therefore in danger OF repeating
what had already been said; but, if any
speaker had Ommittcd to refer to the
American flag he hoped it would be con-
sidcrcd that it had been duly referred ~;
il any speaker had failed to mention that
this was the greatest of all the interna-
tional expositions he hoped he might be
allowed the credit Of having originated
the idea. He continued in this strain for
some time, when he became serious and
called forth much applause by the cx-
preston of the sentiment that the great.
est good to be achieved by the EXPOSE
ton was the reunion and determination
OF hearts and States for the progressive
work Of another century.
CENTENNIAL NOTES.
Paul Boynton gave an exhibition with
his swimming apparatus to-day, in the
large tank in Machinery Hall, smoking
cigar ard eating while in the water.
There will be balloon ascention by a
neice of Prof. Wise. Lizzie Jhling. this
afternoon at five o'clock.
The Russian display In Machinery
Hall consists almost entirely of army
and naval equipments and machinery a
model Of pOntoon bridge excites much
interest.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecller and Lolita,
the actress, were introduced 10 each
other in Agricultural Hall.
The daily receipts at the gates are now
equal to the daily expenditures OF the
Exposition, and the expenses will be re-
duced in few days.

PHILADELPHIA LETTER.

PHILADELPHIA, June "a, 1876.
There is not much in the exposition to
satiate the universal morbid craving for
important news. The gates open and
close every day, and about $4,000 paying
visitors of all ages, both sexes and every
condition Of lite come daily to sec the
growing wonder. All are doubtless ben
fitted in some way by what they see, but,
Of course, not equally. The tale un-
folded is as various as the individuals to
whom it is addressed, and its usefulness
is in the ratio OF its intelligibility, or the
previous preparation Of the visitor to see
and comprehend.

Hues HOUSES,

Hog owners who have not pre-.
pared shelter for their hogs should
delay no longer. The winter sc
far has been very mild, and up to
this time but little attention has
been necessary. A very cheap
and efficient house can be built of
round logs, notched down so as to
make the space as small as pos
sib!e; Stats or boards can he nail
ed over these cracks and the cold
completely shut out. The top can
be covered with boards, or if they
are not convenient, fodder OF
straw will answer the purpose.
Clean, fresh straw or leaves viii
answer for bedding, and 1t should
be changed as often as it becomes
damaged. Hogs should be assert
ed and the different sizes kept
separate, especially in their sleep
llO uDuI U!llCllJS' 4NO Sldo9 VI cVVSN
is more neglected than hogs, yet
none can be housed so comfortably
at an expense that is only nominal.
We feel these admonitions are
more likely to be needed now than
formerly. The porker, at from 6
to 7 cents per pound gross, while
corn is only worth 20 cents per
bushel, is a very aristocrat'c an
imal, and for the time being is the
conserved ofall observers" Hogs
left to care for themselves suffer
less from cold weather than they
do from rain, snow and sleet.
Their instinct makes tn m provide
a bed of leaves, straw or such ma
terial as my be at hand, yet they
have not the "human mind divine"
to plan a covering from the in
clemency of the wcather-their
owners should supply this for
them.

rHE LAST

Some Of our opponents boast
lngly remark that the Grange
movement is on its last legs, or as
some say, is blowing Its last tram-
pet. rhis TO Us seems as a Nunt
uncalled for and a challenge to all
those who have labored so eff
GENTLY for the cause of reform
based on the principles OF right
and justice to all. The Grange
has developed SO much ability
within its membership that Doubt
less a considerable Jealousy has
been created. Hitherto it has been
supposed that men of ability were
found only in the learned pro-
LESSONS, but it has been found, OF
late years, that ability is not con-
fined 10 these callings. In the
past the farmer and artisan were
unknown, for the reason that they
cuoped their thoughts within their
own minds, and never gave them
to the world. Now it is difierept.
The Grange has brought a great
deal of ability and culture to the
surface and a power is being
ayerted by the minds which the
organization has lifted out of OBJ
security which cannot but be re-
spected.
The Grange in its inception was
without a financial basis; it was
also a new move in the direction
of material progress of which
people were not acquainted; also
a lack of experience gave reason
for distrust for the very reason of
ignorance among the masses
Now. however, as time passes, we
see solid men of experience at
work, and a host of them too. No
man outside the organization can
fully comprehend the magnifcence
of its work. Few inside are able
to fully appreciate the vastness of
the field of labor opened to the
masses, and it would be hard in
deed to set forth in figures the
amounts saved to all classes,
whether in or out of the grange

HOG CHOLERA AGAIN.

Continuing my inquiries in the
matter of hog cholera, | find the
opinion general and the testimo-
ny freely confirming it, that swine
fed by large tavern, hotel and
boarding-hous keepers, are net
only free from the cholera, but
generally from other diseases also.
Col. Theodore Doty, a tavern and
hotel keeper for forty years, and a
breeder and feeder of swine all his
life, has had experience in several
counties in this State, where hog
cholera is common, and every two
or three years epidemic, having
kept tavern in Cook, Marion and
Campaign counties. He has never
had a case of cholera in his yards,
and the average number fed has
not been less than twenty for the
whole time. He thinks hog
choleru has a malarial origin, be-
lieves it will be found most preva-
lent and malignant IN low, damp
and close situations, and p%articu-
larlv where the water is foul and
s%tngnant. So far as he knows out
side of his own experience, others
who feed as he does are equally
fortunate in the health of their
swine. The large hotels of Chi
cago contract their swill to men
who feed and fatten hogs ON a
large scale, and he has never heard
of the cholera in their yards.
Nevertheless, there are farmers
who feed grass and corn exclusive
Nv, and whose hogs are never at
tackled with cholera, notwithstand-
ing they are confined to the same
feeding lot, and that a narrow one,
for wears in succession. Mr.. T. II.
Slick. q drover of Champaign,
kindly gives me the following facts
as an illustration of the steady
good fortune Of one Of these lucky
men: A. J. Dykman of Monticello,
Piatt CO., feeds from 300 to 500
hogs n year, in a ten-acre lot. His
hogs are always healthy, but he
attributes it partly to the pure
water furnished them to drink,
and partly to keeping constantly
within easy reach, a trough filed
with q mixture Of equal parts of
hard wood ashes, common salt, and
-four of sulphur. OF this MKT
ure the hogs eat more or less daily,
and it is observed that when eat
ing most corn and putting on flesh
fastest, the compound in the trough
disappears most rapidly.
