Among the houses, small and large, scat

visit Rowell's newspaper exhibition whei,
there are exhibited about 600 American
newspapers, and where the visitor may
read his local or any other paper he may
wish. If he chooses he may stop at one o.

CENTENNIAL GOOD NATURE.
"The Americans are prOverbially good
nstured people," Were they not, it would
be difficult for them to make a complete
tour of the grounds without becoming so.
The visitor meets so many queer people
and sees so much that is ludicrous that he
must be sad man If he fails to laugh now
and then. The hot weather may annoy
him, having his corns ground fine may be
unpleasant, and being embraced by fat
woman on suddenly turning around may
be little provoking; but soon something
happens or he sees something to make up
for all his ills
"Grin and bear it," Is the involuntary
motto at Philadelphia. 1t might be "Laugh
and grow fat" but the heat prevents
obesity, Yours,
john DARBY.
