The want Of space yesterday precluded
q fuller report Of Mr.. fitch's speech than
was given. and there were . couple Of sto-
riss embodied in 1t too good to be lost.
Speaking Of Tilden's modest announce
ment. that he would raise the country from
its present pit Of corruption. Mr.. Fitch
told this: Two Irishmen. very hard-up,
were lettering about the wharves in New
York. A plAcard Of the Humane Society
attracted their attention. IL offered o re-
ward Of $50 for the saving Of q life, and
SIS for the recovery Of q corpse from the
water. The Irishmen were hungry. and
u suggested to his companion that 10
would be . good idea to tumble In and b
rescusd. No Don said than done. Over
the wharf went the Irishman. Then the
other remembered that he couldn't swim.
The man In the water padded about until
nearly exhausted. and then gurgled out /;

Outside, on the grounds, we saw a
model of the city of Paris all laid out In
miniature.
Altogether, we leIt, when we left the
exhibition very mnch as il we had been
ABROAD" without the fatigue OF sea
voyage. We would advise our friends to
wait until the latter part of September
or October before they viet the Centen-
nial; as tho grounds are not ready and
quantities OF the exhibits are not yet un-
packed The guide books are incomplete
and wholly unsatisfactory, and one would
be better satisfied 10 see the Exposition
in all its completeness. However, there
is enough already on exhibition to more
than repay the trouble and expense of
visit At any time.
We did not leave Philadelphia without
visiting the establishments of II. Wan
namaker, or as some have il from his
wonderful success in business, Money
maker" He is to Philadelphia what
Stewart was to New York. He is
) ung man yet and has more business in
his head than forty common men. He
was influential in getting Moody and
Sankey to Philadelphia, and after they
lett be converted the building where they
held forth into large warehouse for the
sale of gents and boys clothing. One
of his houses is six stories high, and
there are over 1000 persons employed in
tho establishment. Mr.. Wannamaker,
besides being actively engaged in the
Centennial, has various other enterprises
on his shoulders. lie is the proprietor OF
the Sunday School Times, so widely cir
culated all over the country is deeply
interested in the Young Mems Christian
Association, and he has Sabbath School
which he established himself in Bethany
Church, of over two thousand members.
He is the Superintendent, and after the
opening of the school. he takes n large
class of about 100 adults. His school is
a great success; and any Christian people
who spend the Sabbath in Philadelphia
would do well to spend portion OF the
day in Bethany church.

Karl Frosteru, the Old na, m .ker OF
Luben, in Silesa, was a 'ir. story
telling man, who sang at his Won. and
whose busy hammer made mcrry music.
Not lar away lived Heir voa koben. 8
wealthy land owner, whose ou'y son,
when not at school, was wont To come
to the nailer's shop. where he would sit
by the hour and watch the bright sparks
AS they flew iu showers from the ringing
anvil.
Come, Master Conrad" said the
mailer, one day in a jolly mood; "why
not set the world an example 4? Show
them that the son OF rich man can
learn a trade Who knows what it may
profit you one OF these days."
The youth fell in with the humor OF the
thing, and pulling off his fine jacket. he
donued leather apron, and went to the
anvil. He was bright, quick lad,
and when he had once attempted 10
make nail, he had pride to make it
well and so it came to pass that ere
long he could make a shoe nail as well
as could old Kerl.
Time passed on, and Herr von koben
died, leaving his great wealth to his son
Conrad. A few years thereafter the
armies of Frederick came sweeping
through Silesia, and Conrad's inheritance
was lost. Ia poverty he wandered away
towards the mountains OF Bohemia, until
he came 10 town where host OF shoe
makers were at a stand for want OF nails.
Shoes were in great demand for the
soldiers, and great price was offered
for nails.
Here" thought Conrad, lis my op-
portuuity. Let US see how my trade Will
serve me-"
And he told the shoemakers If they
would help him TO q shop and iorge.he
would make nails for them. They fur
nished him what was required. and he
went at the work in earnest. He made
better nails than had ever before been
seen in that section. He took apprentices,
and enlarged his shop, and IN Time Won
Koben's nails were demanded on both
sides OF the mountains. BY slow but
sure degrees he arose to opuien'e as q
manufacturer, honored and respected as
the founder OF his own fortunes. And
it all came, as he was proud TO tell his
children in the after years, from his hay-
ing learned trade in his youth.-S. c.,

How he Saved the Life OF his Little
Daughter, aud what he Suffered I'm Con-
sequence.

Robert Creighton, personal friend OF
Secretary Chandler, OF the United States
Interior department, gives. in letter to
the Uanbury NeWS, this interesting ac-
count of an incident in the life OF the
latter which explains the sanguine hue OF
his face:
Perhaps you would like TO know some
thing of Zack Chandler. You and ]
have heard and read great deal about
him, aud it's time we knew something OF
him. He is great big man, over six
feet eight, aud about sixty years old. He
and Horace Greeley were born within
ca,-call of each other, and still no single
man did as much rs Zach Chandler to
defeat the philosopher Tor the Presidency.
He has numbering, heavy walk, OF GER
tain stride and steady gait. He carries
an alternate white and red face in front
aud high, cane in one hand and bun
BILE of paper 10 the other. he never
walks for pleasure. He is always on
business. He spits every eight minutes
always to the LETT, seldom straight, and
with the same regularity that punctuates
his every action. High and in front, like
the fgurehead on great ship, he carries
his great, broad head and yariegated
face. On cold day his countenance
beams almost like the red glare of a loco
motive headlight, Ninety-nine men who
pass him on frosty morning make nine
ty-nine remarks ireighted with the infor-
nation that "Old Zack has had his Bit
ters.n But how this world is given to
lying! This red face has history, this
crooked splitting has reason, and will
give you both.
1t is now seventeen years since Zach
ariah Chandler, being remarkably sue
cesstul in business, built for his family a
new and elegant house in Detroit
When nearly finished he moved into it.
On the first evening, Immediately after
the gas was turned on and lit. the smell
of the escaping gas aroused the family
and servants, and search was made for
the leak. The daughter, now Mrs. Hale,
then a child, with lighted candle, de-
tected it in closet of the back parlor.
The father knowing the danger OF an ex-
plosion, hurried to the closet with ser
want, took the candle from the daughter
hands and shielded her Just in time to re-
ceiye the full blast himself, burning bis
head, neck and hands almost to crisp
The nose, ears. eyes, lips, and flesh OF
the lace were so completely cooked that
old Zach embraced the opportunity and
murmured through his blistered lips
Bring on your cannibals. I'm cooked.
A physician was Immediately sent for,
