The Government Exhibits.

One of the principal attractions of the
Twelfth Cincinnati Industrial EXposi
tion. which will be inaugurated in that
city, on Wednesday, September Sd, will
undoubtedly be the immense exhibit
which is going to be made by the Gov
ernment of the United States. A spe
cial Act of Congress was passed to pro-
vide for the expenses of the exhibit, and
commission appointed to take charge
of the same. Every department of the
government will be fully represented.
The Smithsonian Institute, National
Museum, Patent Office, Army and Navy
Departments, Geological and Coast Sur
vey, Lighthouse. Postoliiee, and Interior
Departments, will each have magniii
cent display, of a character so unique
and interesting to the residents of the
West and South, that the opportunity OF
seeing it should ON no account be allow
ed to pass by those who have not the
facility of visiting the City of Wash
ington. or such magnitude will this
display be that to accommodate pol
tion of same new building, 200 by 80
feet, has been constructed in front of
the main Exposition Buildings. Sur
mounting this bsildingis lighthouse
to wsr, in which will be placed an int
mense flash of light, which will throw
red and white flashes up and down Elm
street, and will no doubt prove great
novelty to many who have not visited
the sea.
Another great attraction will be the
paraphernalia of the Arctic expedition
sent to the relief Of the Greely party.
the details Of which are Of suoh great
interest, and are attracting SO much at
tenlion throughout the entire country
The Arctic boats, clothing, sleeping
bags, etc. will also be displayed. Space
is insufficient to describe all OF the many
Interesting features OF the exhibit, but
above is sufficient to show that II IS alone
worthy of visit without the suppie+
ment of perhaps the grandest exposition
ever held In Cincinnati.

Col. RUSSELL IL. CRoMwELL's admi+
rable life" of James G. Blaine ia now
ready; it is handsomely bound and
printed, and contains upward of 500 pa
ges; it is illustrated by GTst-class artists;
it is from the press of Messr5. E. c. Al
len & Co., of Augusta, Maine. AS a rap
id biographsr, Col. Cornwell doubtless
stands without rival in America, and
the volume has the impress of the broad
est information and most careful atten
tion on every page. Ttis is the biogra-
ply that received the inestimable bene
lit of the active cooperation andsassist-
ance of MIR. Blaine, bis relatives AMI
friends; this is the volume that is rer
commended by the family and private
Secretary of the distinguished Candi-
date; it is true picture, drawn by
master hand, of the life of the States
man from the humble cradle to the
present day, and presents striking con-
trast to the score of so-ealled "lives"
which are to large extent filled with
irrelevant matter made up from the
newspapers of the day: those who are
wise will subscribe only for the authen+
tic Augusta edition,-the largest, cheap
est, handsomest and best. The steel
plate portraits of Blaine and Logan
we're engraved for the volume and are
standing rebuke to the caricatures which
appear in the so-called "lives" with big
preteDsions. We understand that this
Authentic Standard Augusta edition is
outselling all others more than ten to
one, and that its agents are meeting with
the most phenomenal success. A few
more agents are wanted by the publish
ers; the most liberal terms are offered.
1t is a splendid chance for beginners, as
with this grand book no one can fail to
do great business. The volume also
contains biography of John A. Logan.

sixty-five Years Ago.

When was a little girl, sixty. five
years ago. as general thing the FARM
ers had very large families; our family
was large, most of us girls. We had to
help father plant and get the hay, and
in the spring we had the tow and the
linen and the wool t. wash, pick and
send to the carding machine, and, when
carded, the next thing was the spinning
wheel and the music of the old hand
looms in manufacturing the fax and
wool into cloth for family wear. Thir-
teen of us in the family, and we had a
big tine sewing in the fall to do making
our winter clothing. Then father would
fetch home lot ofleather a1d shoe
maker to make up all our cowhide shoes
for winter wear. Then all the men and
boys wore buskins instead of boots. In
cold weather in the winter we girls had
to 60 mile and half to school. The
school house, with big chimney and
fire place, was as cold as a barn, and we
had TO wear our cloaks and shawls all
the forenoon to keep from freezing. That
is the way we got our education. The
girls winter dresses we're homemade
woolen cloth. sent to the mill and col
ored brown and pressed, and bard cow
hide shoes, but the girls in those days
were robust and well, and very seldom
if ever sick. Our food then was coarse
and wholesome. Our summer dresses
were calico if we could get them, but
calico was scarce ard very high. The
best French calico then was forty-two
cents yard. Girls wages, fifty year:
ago were only fifty cents a week, al
housework or spinning. The girls in
spinning, were to spin six skeins of yarr
per day, and help milk the cows night
and morning; all this for fifty cents &
week. well remember all this sixty
five years ago. How does this compare
with the present day?

While roses caught between her signs,

Why should she not become my bride,
My sad and empty life to bless?
SO fair as she must surely stir
Beneath the power of love divine;
And why not then make love to her,
Arouse her love and call her mine?
