ELLIS BROOKS.

Usually the sitting posture and more OF
less - RECT stiffness are supposed to GO
together, but there is a plot on foot in
the shadow of the Exposition to upset
this notion At tire western end of the
main building, in the center of The trim
little park huge m2rry-gO round, of the
most modern p tern, run by steam, has
been erected, and there the unique joys
of flying through the air will be distrib-
uted. Taking ever, thing into considera-
tion, there will be more entertainment il
the Exposition this season than there has
been ever before. 1t is hardly ece>sary
to tell anybody at this late day of Levy's
wonderful ability as a cornctist, or to en-
large upon the excellency of the band Of
which he is leader. For years the higl
notes of Levy's cornet have been ringing
through the world, and nobody has ap
proached his mastery of that instrument
Besides the concerts, and Prof. Crom-
wells lectures-which are so graphically
and effectively illustrated with stcreoptic
Jews hct they become practically tours
through the world for those who hear
'hem-and all the other special features
provided ly an i gcnious and generous
m rnagement, there are the exhibits of
liGtsbW rs products and manufactures,
Ini of her finest imported merchandise;
and last, but not least, the very crowds
IF visitors, thcnselves, who represent
the Intelligence, culture, wealth and pa
trio;iSm of the great district OF which
litishur@ is the center.
Pittshurg promises to he looking its
very best about September. The hoii-
day-makers will have returned from
shore and mountain, the great stores will
be spick and-span from the renovators'
hands, and all the theatres will he open,
the parks, which are now beautiful fea-
ture of the city, will be about to don
their Fall fnery, and perhaps political
parade + two will add new flavor to civic
life. It is only right to emphasize the
statement that Pittsburg takes pride in
her new parks; in the grand area of
groves, gardens and drives now to be
found at Schenley Park, and in the breezy
heights and Curious views to be found
1T Highland Park. These lovely breath
ing spots of recent creation, may be
reached now by the visitor with
case, thanks to the various rapid transit
lines of cable and electric cars which
gridiron the city and its suburbs. In
deed, the street car system of pittsbnrg
in itself must prove an object of the Wis
itor's wondering attention.

Another notable Improvement Is the
| new gallery, or enlargement of the old
one, in the main hall, by means of which
the total seating capacity of the audito-
rum in front of the band stand has been
| raised to 5000. Talking of bands, it is a
fact that the musical outlook in Pittsburg
for the coming season is brighter than
ever. There will be enough music to the
superficial square inch in this city in Sep
tember, for instance, to satisfy the most
greedy muSic-lover. There will be mel
odv and to spare in the Exposition from
Wednesday evening, Sept. 9TH, when il
will be thrown open, till it closes on Oc-
tober POD, for first the Great Levy and
his superb band will be there, and from
Oct. Sd to the EVposition's close the nc
less renowned Ellis Brooks will bring his
corps of musicians to keep up the supply
of concerts.
There are few things so generally en-
jJyed the world over as band music. No
body seems too exalted, nobody too low
y 10 appreciate it. President Harrison
hardly ever misses a military band con-
cert in Washington; Queen Victoria, the
other day, had the band of her favorite
Grenadier Guards play for two hours in
the garden of her Osborne palace, while
she sat on terrace near by alone. If a
band, and none of the best, starts up 9
marching tune on a city street, everybody
knows how staid merchants, and gamins
from the gutter strive to get near it. The
blare of brass band will bring a crowd
quicker than the eloquent invocation of &
Demosthenes. The directors of the Ex-
position seem to have had an eye to this
fact when they laid such stress upon the
improvements in the neighborhood of tn,
band-stand. Behind the stand itseE
mirrors have been arranged so as to dis
play the brilliantly musicians
to the best advantage. The balcony op
posite has been carried forward on pill
lars and comfortable seats for hundred,
provided, supplementing the accommo-
dations upon the floor below for thost
who want to hear the concerts. 1t USED
to be common complaint that there were
not enough seats in the Exposition, but
there will be no ground for it this year.

You go into the stores and you will find
builders and painters in possession; glo-
ries of dry goods and millinery are
eclipsed for the time. Though you can
not get in there 10 see. the interior of the
theatres presents the same spectacle-the
paint-brush is the sceptre of the king,
and the gorgeous manager has to dof5 his
hat to the decorator. &
There is no place in Pittsburg where
the hum of preparation during August is
louder than in the huge pile of red brick
at the point; and this year is no excep-
tion to the rule in the halls of the Expo
Sition; where for many weeks already
the workmen have been busy getting the
great building into shape for the season
now rapidly approaching. Every day
sees an increase in the hustle and clamor
st the Exposition, for the exhibitors have,
their booths and showcases to prepare,
and there is 8 lace 10 see who shall sur
pass the record of the past, most of all
The management Of the Exposition has
set a good example to every one by max
ipg many important Improvements, in
Guiding change or two that will be
gnuine surprise to all who visit the Ex-
position Eext month. For instance,
where the picture galleries were last
year beautiful little concert or lecture
haIl has been erected. 1t is entirely pan
elled from floor to ceiling with polished
yellow pine, and consequently has an en-
inently cheerful air which will be en-
hanced By the display of incandescent
electric lights upon the wall. Here it is
that Professor Cromwell will give those
wonderful lectures with the aid of his
stereopticOn.

Winding Other Peoples Business

There is chatter, chatter, chatter in
the Mugwump Independent Democratic
newspapers about the terms they assume
Mr.. Platt will exact of the president
and the less they know of the subject
the broader their conjectures and the
more gross their imputations. These
journals have no time or space left for
the consideration of terms and condi-
tions of placating Tammany for Cleve-
land. There seems to be policy in the
omission of the Democrats and their
allies to deal with their own business

Having committed himself completely
to the Chicago tariff plank, Mr. Cleve,
land will be bound, if elected, to recon-
mend the repeal of all protective duties.
He might even take the position that the
whole protective tariff is void, because
unconstitutional. The decision of the

ihe recognition of the right of congress

For thirty years the protective tariff

strike these gentlemen that it is about
time that the workshops and factories
on which the burdens of this drain fall

WHERE HE WAS AT.

Some Reflections Induced by the Cobb

1t is fashionable to laugh at Mr.. Cobb,
of Alabama, but we do not laugh at the
gentleman. He is not by any means the
first man who in that house bear garden
has wondered where was att" If we
DO not mistake, his father used to get
lost there thirty-fve years ago, and
after all he seldom or never came up
missing. Mr.. Cobb is one of the sort of
men who is not ashamed to take a cup
of beef tea or consomme, bouillon or
coffee during a speech. Bob Toombs
used to have glass of raw whisky on
his desk in the senate. Nor was he one
of the denying sort. Many more old
timers can be named who would not
have kicked up rusty because Mr.. Wat
son or Mr.. Anybody had written a book.
The affair is a farce. Mr.. Watson
wrote the truth without giving names
We see that Mr. Cobb came forward at
once and admitted that he was the man
who asked, Mr.. Speaker, where was
atY' He did not admit being drunk
however, but from what he did admit
we must suppose that his bouillon went
to his head. As the entire blame seems
to gravitate to the Alabamian, why not
ask him to accept it and call off this
laughable committee? 1t is only trying
to hide the morals of the house, but as
the house, if sober, does nothing, why
not give it the eclat of at least getting
drunk?
Probably the present house is as sober
rs any we have had for years and years.

WHATEVER is beautiful is refining.
Whether in nature or in art, the pres
ence of the-beautiful softens and puri-
fies. But let nU young lady fall into
the blunder of supposing that only that
which is expensive can ever be beauti-
full. 1t is labor. care, skill, an artistic
eye, and a refined taste that beautify.
Whetcr in home or in dress, in speech
or in manners, money is not the main
thing which provides the beautiful. The
dowdy apparel of many a slattern has
cost more money by far than the neat
and beautiful garb of her INDECENT but
orderly neighbor.
