, success. The collection Of heirloom

fancy articles elaborate. The attend
anee each evening is large, aud In
ereases as the week wsnes. We quot
below very literally from the Fafl
Journal. a little daily Published ia
the interest Of the Fair.
One Of the handsOmest and certain
~ the most valuable donation 70 the
Fair h the elegantly finished and
equipped sewing machine, presented
by Mir. WOmack, Of Kansas City.
Miss Brown, also Of Kansas City, q
very pleasant young lady, is in charge
Of the Domestic Department" The
specimens OF the Domestic work are
80 suspended and displayed ss TO
make most luxurious bOudOir, which
is visited first Of sll the departments
Of the Fair. II is not possible TO de
scribe all the beautiful work seen
there. Il is perfection In the highest
degree. One article very mneh ad.
nlired is the head of General Grant
the product OF the Domestic" Face
20 the right a. you enter the hall, and
behold the grand Domestic display.
Speaking Of antiquities reminds
US that one of the members of the
orchestra was exhibiting n dilapidat-
ed case reputed to be several hundred
years old, its origin being laid about
tine time of 0din or Skiold, and its
possession traced up in a Swedish
family OF rank TO its present possessOr
himself also member OF the
orchestra. The article passed for a
snuff case, with a nOstrll distender
Tor something OF the Kind, aud was
looked upon AS most wonderful
relic. Had the exhibitor kept his face
straight. people would not have be-
come iucTedulOus at once. The article
was simply n well-wOFn flute case.
The Salina orchestra, Of which or
ganizatiOn every Salina citizen should
be very proud, rendered some very fine
music Monday evening. IL was not
only soul inspiritiBg but toe inspirit-
ing, and some very grave percentages
seemed to be fighting against the evil
spirit continually, to keep from
swinging on the corners"
The oldest and most interesting Of
helr-loOms displayed Is the large
bible printed IA 1854, aud belonging
to Mr.. w. r. Gels. 1t is illustrated,
the printing is clear, the pages are
well preserved, and the book bound
in wild-bOar sRin-s binding which
ought to make a modern bOOk-bindef
think that ne knows nothing about
his trade. Every visitor to the Fair
should take look at this great book.
II you want to be reminded Of the
days of Aud Lang Syne, visit the
W. r. &. Fair & Art Loan.

a rum barrel used before the RevOlu-
tiOnary war. Ii is now empty.

bers as the n-GOldsmith-Bos.

brilliant display under ca0vas. Il Is
one of the drawing attractions Of the
Fair. Obtuse is the intellect which

the brain that can look at it in the
face and laugh. The curiOsities of
five continents are therein displayed

Of the earth's greatest wonders are
therein seen. 1t has been exhibited
before all the crowned heads Of
