Having been down the Pike we
think possibly a mention OF a few
OF the main features may be OF In
terest to your readers. Now please
don't understand us to say we Will
describe all things we have seen
on the Pike for II would be absurd
to attempt such task and expect
same to be published in any one
paper.
There are but few attractions on
the Pike that are not worth the
price OF admission and the writer
has not seen them.
One OF the novel attractions that
no one should miss is "Creation,'
the highest price show on the Pike
and worth more than they ask, is
truly in a class of its own. Under
the largest dome in the world, sur
rounded by over 1000 feet of canal,
is very enjoyable ride through
the gfottos. Then the lagoon en-
circling the dome, surrounded by
immense moving platforms. Then
the Illusion boats. We next see
the masterpiece of all-Creaton-
wonderful, marvellous, indescrib-
able. To tell anything near the
truth about Creation the writer
has an lnsufllciency OF language.

The difficulties which encountered
Washington when he took up his great
trust as commander in-chief of the con-
tinental army were most complicated
and immense. The theater of the strug-
gle was vast one, geographically,
stretching along the Atlantic coast from
NJ rssachusetts TO South Carolina, while
the whole population was only three mill
iolls-not very much greater than that
of the State of Michigan, and not so
great into million as that of Illinois.
Out of this small, scattering and peace
tul population an army was to be raised,
organized and equipped capable Of con-
tending with the chief military and mari
tine power of the globe. And it was
not to he a struggle between government
and government, between one nation and
another. 1t was rebellion. and there
was really no central authority, no arms
or warlike stores, no navy, no treasury
or financial system or responsibility. 1t
