GARFIELD MEMORIAL.
The National Bdsadr, 4rt and
Industrial Exposition at
Washington.

Washington on the 25th, promises to
be very unique thing, inasmuch as
it will be the first time the Capitol
was ever put to such purposes. The
Bazaar is to be held under the ausri-
ces Of the Society of the Army of the
Cumberland, and in the interest of the
Garfield Memorial Fund. and none can
question the course Of Congress in per-
mitting the ational Capitol to be de-
voted to 60 worthy cause. The
work of remodeling the rotunds, the
Old Hall of Representatives, and 9TH
er portions Of the ma fl 'or, is being
rapidly pushed forward TO completion
and when all is in readiness the scene
presented will be a memorable one.
The magnificent rotunda is being cor-
verted into a grand art gallery, in
which will be displayed very many o.
the finest paintings owned in Il 9 Uni
ted States. The four centre spaces
will be occupied by four of tie widest
known art Adjustments in the coun-
try. and their displays will rival any
thing of the character shown at thu
Centennial. Directly in the centre Of
the rotunda will stand colossal
statue of Garfield, about which choice
cut flowers will lie most lavishiy
strewn ev,ry day. The Old Hall cf
Representatives will be given up to
State Booths. which will be presided
over by beautiful lady representatives
of the different States of the Union
These booths will be exqnis!tely eu-
bellished, and offer attractions which
will not only be exceedingly difficult
for the sterner sex to resist, out the
fsirer sex as we'll. The four Execu-
tive Departments of the Government
Treasury. War Navy, and Interior
will occupy the centre spaces in his
nall, and make thereon a peculiarly
interesting exhibit. Special exhibits,
booths and other attractions will be
located at other points upon the man
floor, in the lobiies of the House and
Senate, and in fact throughout the
en.ire building. Even then the ac-
commodatlons will not suffice, and the
Agricu tural Building, with its fifteen
thousand square feet of space, will be
thrown open to exhibitors. 1t will be
mainly devoted to agricultural exhib-
its and implement aid machinery dis
plays. The Atcblson, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad Company wi oc-
cupy much room with one of its re-
msrkable displays of products. etc.
The fame OF this Company in this line
may fairly be said to be worldwide,
as its strikingly brilliant success at
the Centennial, Cincinnati, Loulpyi lie
AID st. Louis ExI o.itlons, not TO
sneak OF European centres OF similar
interest, have gained the admiration
Of the agricultural public everywhere
Other railway comp aDies of the West
will probably vie with the Santa Fe
in extent and artistic arranb ement OF
their displays, and certainly no oppor-
tunity Of witnessing such an ex It'll
| ton has ever before been ltfered e
farmers of Msrylaad, Virginia, West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, hio, Indiana
and other States on the line Of the
Baltim re aud OHIO, It's divisions aud
