ChiCA6Os July 1, 1895.
We have been receiving the NueeET
regularly and you can hardly imagine
how we appreciate home paper when
away. We read every bit of it twice
over
We have been visiting the fair nearly
every day for three weeks, and it don't
seen as if we had seen hsf of it yet.
We have spent two days in the Manu-
facturer's Building alone, and then we
can't remember huDdredth part of
what we have seen. Every country in
the world is represented there; every
state and territory in the Union; and
every kind of work done either by hand
or machinery; every religious sect has
display Of goods and work. When in
this immense building one is made to
feel how great and big this old worlds,
and how little mere individual is. In
the Pennsylvania Building is the John
Bull No. l, the Oldest locomotive in
America. 1t was n service in Novem-
Der, 1881. There also, moulded in staff, |
is representation of the four centsrs of |
progress in travel. There is some diff
ference between the way in which our
ancestors went visiting and the way we
go to-day.
In the Convent of LaRibida, which lie
accurately reproduced here, we saw
many relics of lumbus, such az pieces
of the ship in which ne sailed to discov-
er new world the cross be used, and
the chainsin which he was taken home.
At Mount Vernon are many relics of
the Washington family and of Jeferson;
a cupboard once owned by CORVALLIS,
and many things connected with the
Revolutionary war
In Midway Plasancs we visited Egypt ;
and had ride through the streets of
Cairo on the back of a camel. There ,
are many curiositiss in this great side
chow, but the most Interesting Of them !,
all Is to see tho natives of 30 many
strange countries and view their cos
tunes, customs and the manner in
which they live
Great az is the Columbian Exposition, !:

aiding. All Of the parks contain arti- :
cial lakes, beautiful fountains, fine -
