A WONDERFUL ExmBITIoN.-A few years
ago we visited in the old Penna. freight-depot
building in Philadelphia, fair held by the
Franklin Institute. 1t was most attractive
exhibition and worthily pioneered the great
Centennial show. 1t was visited by tens of
thousands, and was considered we'll worth the
fee of so cts. which was charged. The other
day we visited the same spot, now occupied
By John Wanamaker with his "Gfand Depot"
aud took an extended trip through that great
store. It is in many respects more wonderful
as an exhibition, than that of the franklin
Institute, to which we have referred, aud it is
open the year round, and is free to all. There
is SO much that interests one merely as sight
seer. The Grand Depot is not simply a store.
In that, no matter how large and varied the
stock, there are simply piles of valuable
goods. But in the Grand Depot the display
partakes of tho nature Of an industrial and
effect and system with which this is produced.
Passing by all the counters filled with both
plain and magnificent dress goods the show
cases with watches and artistic jewelry the
dress department with dresses imported from
Europe which no country EDITORS wife could
hope to "show off . the millinery depart
ment with loves of bonnets y from 5000 to
IS the boot aud shoe department with such
an immense stock that no one can fail to get
fitted and suited, aud some SO beautiful that
Cinderella would prefer them to golden
slippers the book department; the fur
department and a score or more of other de-
partments that we haven't even time to name
passing by all these without close examina
ton, for we are simply sight seeing and are
trying to see that which is of most interest
10 an hour, we come to something we'll worth
looking at.
1t is the china and glass ware department.
Here are not only wares beautiful in their
ot, Inf i,nt tnIl la 1ao
Grated with the painters hand vases, fig
ules, aud pieces that one does not know
whether 10 admire most for their beauty of
color OF for their exquisite proportions here
one may spend an hour in INDUCING love
for the beautiful.
Down in the basement we step, and find a
real museum of housekeeping goods, and
some of them SO labor-saving that we wonder
how people can afford to be without them
The wonderful electric light shows off the
goods to advantage and friend kindly offers
to give us look at the engine room while we
are below ground.
In the engine room is magnificent one
hundred horse power engine, kept bright as a
new dollar, aud running noiselessly. This
immense affair drives several dynamo electro
machines that supply the electric lights, and
also operates the pneumatic leash " tubes.
We pass through an immense packing room
where hundreds of boxes are handled dali !,
and go up stairs where we meet the gentle
manly advertising agent of Mr.. Wanamaker's
establishments, Mr.. j. w. SNYDER, Ia Jer-
seyinan, by the way,) who shows real genius
in the variety, literary merit and uniqueness
with which Wanamaker's thousand-and one
advertisements are gotten up. Mr.. Snyder
asks us to visit the cash receiving office, and
we are taken into circular room near the
centre of the ground floor, where dozens Of
large brass pipes, running from different parts
of the building, with graceful curves bend
down and deposit their treasures Of money
The money is conveyed from the counters
through these tubes in 9 carriers . or boxes,
by the use of compressed air, and it is a
wonder to see the fifteen or twenty ladies, who
sit at the counters, receive fom clerks the
money for goods, and return the change =
time is saved and numbers of cash boys are
dispensed with.
j We go up stairs, and we find collection of
rare old furniture and other articles that re-
call the days Of yore." Beyond is picture
gallery containing some choice oil paintings
and other works Of art. Elsewhere on the
same floor are carpet, curtain and lambrequin
rooms, with most beautiful displays Of the
