Worlds Fair Siebfs.

Yes, 8 few more sights which are not witnessed at home. The Iowa building, as all seem to know, is lined or finished inside with different grains, but the taste and ingenuity of designs are what capti- vate the eye. Near the center stands a tastefully trimmed booth with shock of corn on the top and pigs head protrud- ing from it's base with an ear of corn in it's mouth. Eagles, shaded with different .colored grains, milkmaids with pail in hand and COW beside her, are among the wall ornaments.
 California shows horse and rider, life size, made of prunes; globe six feet in diameter, made of oranges; lump of coal from Washington weighing 30 O,250 lbs. with rooster perched upon it, la beled, ''Beat me if you can, and you may take the chicken;" also miniature farm showing the buildings, cattle, horses, hens, and the whole farm work in progress.
 On one side of the Illinois building is seen picture of farm some twenty feet square, made of grain, showing all the buildings, fences, farming implements, &c., almost equal to painting.
 But, to change the scene, I saw the Esquimaux village, it's homes or huts, and the people in their simple and crude styleof living; huts with pole in the top for chimney, and fire in the center; berths around the sides and stools to sit upon ; mother and children around, and the baby suspended to the poles of the hut in cradle made of husks, or splints rein- deers and dogs with their sledges seemed to make up their wealth.
 saw Rain-in-the-Face, the Indian chief who shot Gen. Custer, also three others of the Sioux tribe, Sitting Bulls log cab in, and all endless variety of implements of warfare, among them one made of two horns fastened together at their base, with handle attached, said to have been used by the women to pick the eyes from the victims slain by their warriors. l saw the Aztec Indian village of New Mexico in their adobe houses; saw them dance, trimmed with feathers on their heads and streamers of feathers down their backs, sleigh bells around the calf of their legs, their music being rude sort of drum beaten upon with two rude sticks by one man; while another hummed the accom- paniment. They kept perfect time, and seemed to feel the dignity of their calling. l saw the trained animals, the lion riding on pony, hog hitched to car riage with hog for a driver, and another with fore feet on the rear end plodding after, and bears walking like folks. saw the ostrich farm of twenty ostrichs. | Their traits differ from those of some oth- CT bipeds. The female birds do all the wooing. If the female dies first the male remains a widow until another suitor of fers to wed. A full grown bird stands seven feet high, weighs 125 lbs; will swallow an ordinary sized apple, as saw one, and could see the apple sliding down that long neck. They live to be 30years old. Their sex is not known until they are year and half old. Their colol until that year is grayish the male ther changes to very shiny black. Thei Eannual crop of feathers is valued at $75
 Their eggs weigh 34 lbs. The females set only four or five days, then the mal' finishes the matching. The head of thu
 chick hatehes three or four days befor a the bpdys leaves the shell, and feeds ol the substance remaining in the shell unti Tit is able to walk, then the mother take
 charge of them the first week, after whicl
 they are taken in charge by the prou
 father for the remainder of their minority | The end is not vet EJ s.
