As the Great Exhibition of 1877 increases in
days the attendance grows very large. The
horse-cars to and from the grounds are crowd
ed and at the busiest hours of the day it is with
difficulty that one can push his way to the
turnstiles. Last evening every building was
| packed.
Where everything is SO attractive it is quite
| Impossible to point out any one thing as the
paramount object of interest. In order to see
the Exhibition in its immens;ty more than one
visit is required, aud days can be proitably
spent in inspecting its wonders. Unfortunat ate
ly most people can pass but a few hours On the
grounds. For their benefit we give the follow
ing directions for three hours visit:
Ftrst Hour-After passing through the turn
stlle take general survey of the grounds.
The chief buildings will be readily recognized,
and the attentive Centennial police are ready
to give all information in theiripower. At the
conclusion of the stroll the remainder of the
hour can be proftably spent in inspecting the
courts of the nations in the Main Building.
By that time need of refreshment will be felt.
The weary wanderer will do we'll to seek the
New England cabin, where old-time fare is to
be found. While eating he may improve his
mind by inspecting the rare collection of Cen
tennial relics, and feast his artistic eyes upon
the crooked-necked squashss which adorn the
walls.
Second Hour-After eating sone of course
wishes to smoke; so one will seek the Turkish
bazaar, and there surrounded by oriental luxury
will puff at hookah, or chibouk, or at the per-
ishable cigar. The quality of tobacco is excel
lent and the black coffee served with it would
gladden. the heart of an Arab. The bazar is to
be closed tonight, the gentlemanly Bashi-
Bazouks who have it in charge having been
summoned home to fight the Muscovite. A
grand auction sale takes place tonight. The
rest of the hour should be spent in Memorial
Hall looking at the pictures and statuary.
Careful inspection should be given to the
relics of the late political campaign. By this
time the visitor will be hungry, and will wisely
repair to the Vienna Bakery for refreshment
Third Hoar-The third hour should be spent
are offered for sale, the Woman's Pavilion, the
educational department where the Kindergar-
ten is in full operation, the Temple of Fate,
the various booths and bazars. By this time
the sight-seer will be very hungry indeed, and
will hasten to Lauber's, the Trois Soeurs; and
the Great American Restaurant where he can
take the edge off his hunger. By this time he
will want to go home.
To-day the Great Exhibition Closes It will
be observed as Portland Day. Our PEOPLE
should have enough patriotism, and pride to
pack the buildings. Every man, woman and
child should be present During the afternoon
the turnstiles will be closed. but will be opened
at six o'clock.

Good Advice,

Now is the time of year for Pneumonia, Lung
Fever, &c. Every family should have bottle of
BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP. Don't allow for one
moment that cough to take hold of your child your
family or yourself Consumption, Asthma, Pnue-
monia, Group, Hemorrhages and other fatal diseases
may set in. Although tits true GERMAN SYRUP is
curing thousands of these dreaded diseases yet is
much better to have it at hand when three doses
will cure you. One Bottle will last your whole
family winter and keep you safe from danger.
If you are consumptive, do not rest until you have
tried this remedy. Sample Bottle 10 cents. Regular
size 10 cents. Sold by your Druggist.

the combination there will be more than one
change in the cast Miss Webster takes the

To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is trying
season. Indications of sickness shonld at once be at
tended to. Fatal Diseases may be caused by allow
ing the bowels to become constipated, and the sys
tenn to remain in disordered condition, until the
disorder has time to develop ITSELF An ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure is an old and truth
full saying. Therefore, we advise all who are troub-
led with the complaints now very prevalent-head-
ACHE Indigestion disordered liver want of appetite,
nausea. or teverish skin, to take without DELAY
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy
so harmless and decisive in its action 1t at once
strikes at the root of the disease and produces a
healthy tone to the system. People never need suf-
fer from any disease arising from dsordered con-
dition of the liver if they would take this excellent
medicine when they feel the first indications of the
malady. Families leaving home for the summer
months should take three or four boxes of these pills
with them. They have an almost instantaneous eff
feet. They will relieve the patient of headache in
one or two hours and will rapidly cleanse the liver
of surrounding bile, and will efectually prevent
bilious attack. They are sold by all druggists
