I Ye, America, the acknowledged centre
of high civilization. renowned all over
the world for its go-ahcsiativeness, and
not ou,ione 10y Others in its manufactures
and inventions, stands back as peo
pie, il is true, but by the acts of the rep
resentatives Of the people, allows a gold
en- opportunity to slip gradually from its
embrace; and then, when it can only
prove disgrace and failure, the invitation
to cope with all the world in an exhibit
ton of our national wealth and industries
is accepted. And now we stand here
next in location to England, insignificant
compared with what we should have
been, holding comparatively the position
of a small country fair in America, be-
side these grand national exhibits. An
opportunity is thus lost, which can per-
haps never be ours again, of making
display Of our industries and natural
wealth, which should not only work out
a great benefit to the country, but enrich
our people faster than in any other way.
At Vienna in '76 we were laughed at, and
shall we not be at Paris in '782 Let US
hope not; but let it be hoped also, that
We shall never take part and lot in an
other Grand Exposition unless there can
be proper amount of national pride
and energy put into it to make it worth
the effort.
Lot US look at what France is doing
for herself. But, indeed, just yet we can
say but little of what shall yet appear.
Two months hence visitors will see the
beauty Of what is now sort of melange
of riches. The large building. appropri-
ated to France alone is entirely finished.
The uniform cases are all in order,
but only small proportion of the i'm
mense variety of goods to fill the vast
space are open, or, at least, in order.
Yet to me, l must say, it is most inter-
esting study to linger about the avenues
Of their building, and watch the different
modes Of ornamentation, and arrange
ments of the various styles of goods and
industries. They put so much taste into
everything "A loop here, a beautiful
flower there, q pyramidal mass of retreat,
a tower, or fort, of candles or chocolate
- mass of soap finish. In the furniture
section there are mites Of elegant apart
ments, not showing the sets Of furniture
simply, but the walls of the room covered
with an imitation of ancient gobelins;
the dados are paneled with antique de-
signs, and the elegant pieces of furniture
are not set out for show for their own
beauty alone, bat are adorned with rare
china, bronze and silver gilt pieces, chaste
| and elegant as French taste can make
them. A set for an elegant saloon, or
ladies' boudoir, lie arranged with hang
ings of satin and in delicate colors, and
caught up with silver cords and rich lace
while for the centre, hang slender, richly
chaste candelabra. Even the leather is
beautiful in its arrangement, and by and
by when the whole department is COM
pleted will take general survey and
give you the effect, as q birds-eye view.
To look into the art department for a
moment will perhaps afford some satisfac.
