LETTER FROM ANNETTE.
Philadelphia, August .‘fist, 1871.
For more than two years we lmve road
iu glaring letters in all Phiadelpbia news
papers of the great Centennial C. lobra-
lion or World’h Fair, that is to take place
in this city in 187G. A few earnest citi
zens, desiring to express their pride nml
gratitude of the nation's progress, workc 1
hard to impress others with the impor
tance of tho celebration,—awnings were
p.inted with flaming flgnros of 177ft —
187ft; old business stands called them
selves by new names, until half of Ce
city was “Centennial;" all now street
cars were ornamented with special refer
once to it—coat of arms of tho original
States and of the United States, of Great
Britain, France, Germany, Ac.; meetings
were called, patriotic orators talked them
selves hoarse ahont the historic, the fra
ternal and the revolutionary features ol
the memorial year. It sounded so strict
ly Pennsylvaniau that it became a by
word and a subject of ridicule to every
one outride of the State. The speeches
of patriotic men were termed harangues.
Merchants and mechanics alike Heeuind
too dooply engrossed in business to give
it attention; men of mind and minus had
thousands of more important things to
claim their notioe; our sister States allu
ded to it sueeringly as the Philadelphia
show.
Slowly and begrudgiuly the States
seomed to respond to the call to coruo
and help with the great work. <Georgia,
always in tbo front rank, generously stop
ped forward {ml offered Mr. Smith of
Philadelphia to represent her. Stout
men's hearts grew sick and faint over the
indifference that was manifested on eve
ry hand, and when Congress refused an
appropriation they wore almost ready to
give up, and lay down and die over it,and
no doubt they would have done so, had
it not been for tho ladies of Philadelphia
coming to tho roscuo. Thoy saw that in
ordor to mako it a success, the nation’s
enthusiasm must bo evoked. Thoy held
meetings and talked the matter over with
great deliberation and wisdom,.and form
ed a “Women's Board of Fiuanco," with
Mrs. Gillespie, a most estimable and cul
tivated lady, as its President. Thoy pro
claimed with one voice, that tbo work
must go on, and that, if necessary, Phil
adelphia must bear tbo entire burden lip*
;i her own shoulders. By order of the
Women's Centennial Executive Commit-
too,’ a lady iu each ward wuh selected to
cbairnian of a committee of twen
ty-six ladies in that ward, whose duty it
should be to cauvass tho ward for sub
scriptions to “Centeiiuial stock."
They began the great work at once,
and on such a magnificent scale, thaj.ovon
Nctr York was aiuuxed fur once.
£ A women's mass meeting was held in
the Academy of Music—tho grandest op
era house in America. Kuiiueut speakers
were brought together from every State
iu the Uuiou, and great enthusiasm was
auifested. A mammoth tea party was
held in December iu cominemorution of
the Boston tea party of 177ft, which
proved a groat finuucial success. The
decorations were truly magnificent and
exceeded anything ever before witnessed
(hut building. Five hundred Phila
delphia beauties wore tho L?idy Wasbing-
iugton oostiiiut, with powdered hair aud
caps, aud captivated the whole world.
In conversation with one of the ladies'
iHumtltee we asked, “Will Peunsylva-
uia undertake so great a work now that
Congress has refused to aid you?" She
her whole form up with a sudden
j rk, with a significant toss of her well
poised head, a twinkle iu her beautiful
••yea, and determination in the tone of
tier voice, exclaimed: “Indeed, the Fif
teenth Ward [her own wardj will do it,
eveu if everything else backs out." We
novor thought of douhtiug her, we kuow
it would bo dangerous to do so, so thor-
oghly iu earnest was sho. Wo thought
we saw something of tho fire utid patriot
io emotions that dwelt iu the breasts of
our /orr-mothArs of a hundred years ago.
Pennsylvania soon found that she was
fully able to insko her own show, with her
own wealth aud genius, and by tbo ener
gy of her owu daughters, that would not
only be a credit to the nation, but to tho
whole world. Gradually tha settles are
falliug from the eyes of other States, and
they are now culling aloud to be let iu.
On Saturday, the 4th of July, 1874,one
single oarringe; containing llis Honor
the Mayor of Philadelphia, acoompauied
by tlio contractor, was driven to Fuir-
iuount Park, and to the spot selected for
the Centennial buildings. He there
found awuitiug him ouo single laboror,
with one cart ami horse and shovel. Thou
and there Ilia Honor broke ground for
the grout national and international buil
dings. Tho wurkuiaii dumped liis one
shovel of dirt, uubarnosKod his horse and
gave him a holiday, went to bis borne
and dressed iu his Sunday best, and wont
off to celebrate Independence Day. It
seemed but a feeble beginning for a groat
work. Gotham smiled. But with the
first signal for falliug into lino on Mon
day morning foliowiug, could have been
seen an army of the sons of Eriu, armed
with pick-axes, shovels and pipes, march
ing routo-step towards the spot where all
true Americans should be interested.
Humlreds* <»f men and carts twero soon
seen at work, digging, picking, hauling
aud dumping Superiuteudouts, eou-
t net ore, surveyors with rods, lines uud
stakes, were seeu moving iu every direc
tion. From a distance it uppe trod like
acros of bees iu u confuted heap. But
out of the apparent ooufunion may bo
Been to-day the foundation of Memorial
Hull, ready for the graiiito which is uow
on its way from Maine.
You may gaiu an idea of the rupidity
of the uDrk from the fact that on Friday
eveuing tweuty-oue oura tilled with stone
arrived, aud on Saturday evening every
stone was in its plsce.
Tho grading of sixteen acres for the
main exhibition building ia also finished,
aud with the patent steum derricks which
are employed to carry up uud place into
poMtioii the stone, we may expect to hear
of wonderful progress.
We earnestly hope that some of the en
terprising manufacturers of Columbus
will insist upon Mr. Smith of Philadel
phia visiting their city at least, ao that he
uia> be able to tell to the world what can
be manufactured there from the cotton
growing on the spot.

Poor bodies, how sudly we deface theso
beautiful “temples!’’ Hometime and
somewhere, shall not evou iheao rise up
iu judgment against us?
Over Lothing, not even our thoughts,
have we a mme absolute dominion thau
over our bodies, aud yet upon nothing do
we commit such outrages. What a story
the stomachs of some ruen could tell of
long fasts, that were uot for their benefit
or tho glory of God, but enforced iu the
interests of Mammon ; and then feasts,
against which tho stomachs themselves
eiilerod protests of disgust and pain,
which iu duo time were followed by the
ponulfy of disoasn. And then what a wit
ness the brain will be, telliug of our nn-
duo use of its beautiful machinery, that
at last has worn “the wheels of life away,"
before the Father's hand has stayed them,
or else, of disuse, and rust, aud degrada
tion, which has impaired them for this
life and the life to come, and set the
purely physical, atiimul man, to reigu
over tho spiritual and rational to the de
basement of both.
home one has said that it tskes one
life-time to louru how to live. This is oh
true iu physical as in any other sense,
hins committed against our bodies are
siiiH committed agaiust God ; aud in tak
ing care of our bodies we are taking care
of what God has made very beautiful, and
considered very precious.
This should eveu be u part of our reli
gion. When we uouscieutiously appor
tion air, exorcise, rest, and food to our
physical uhoh, we shall certainly be iu n
condition to live nearer to God. By a
closer adherence to bis natural laws shall
wo not rise to a higher appreciation of the
spiritual and divine, and some day be all
the better propured to give .au “account
of the deeds done iu the body?"
It is a false religion which ignores tho
physical man. Theso bodies are uot tents
to be patched ui> for our temporal uses
only ; but temples whore the holy Spirit
should bo our guest to-day—temples to
be raised at last from the dead and dwelt
in forever.—Christian Standard.

imh Church ihko iuterluaod with the Stato,
aud no tnauy properly interestH aro in
volved, that it iN not oaxy to determine
how the difficulty ih to be reached. In
England there bun been OHtabliHhed dur
ing late yearn an axHooiation oalied “The
Society for tho Liberation of lteligion
from State Control." It does not conmat
great degreo of members of the
Church of Englaud. It is mainly made
up of diHsouters and non-conformistH.
TU« momberH are pledged not to vote for
mmubere of Parliament unless they are
favorablo to diseudowment. By that
ns they hope to exercise somo influ
ence hereafter. Up to this time they
Hcom to hnvo exercised no political influ
unoe. Yet they huvo an opportunity to
show their Hincerity and strength npou
Mr. Gladstone'/) Irish Church experiment.
They were equally wiliiugto vote in favor
of the disoHtabliHbment of the Church of
Kuglniul; but Mr. Gladstone was not
ready for thorn, and Mr. Disraeli has no
idea of gottiug ready. They are waiting
for something to turn up, feeling that
Hiich a thing ia impossible while the To
ries are in power, but ondeavoring to ed
ucate tbo Euglish mind to the necessity
of disestablishment wbenover tho Tories
are ousted, a thing which is certain to
happen at Nome time. The London Time*
oiiticises the liberation society by the ob-
jootion that it has uo definite plan of pro
ceeding and has not determined how it
would uot with tho ohuroh property, and
in rotation to many other things interlaced
with State affairs under a system which
commenced in England from tho intro
duction of Christianity, and which was
founded under tho ltoman Catholic
Church aud strengthened under the Ang
lican Church. It Hoems to be a puerile
oritieism to object that in regard to a
measure to be hereafter accomplished all
the niceties of detail and provision aro
not regulated. But this is tho criticism
of tho “Thunderer," which, passing over
tho great object to be effected, predicts
that it must fail because minor matters of
detail have uot been urranged for. It is
small opposition to great measures which
displays itself iu this way. The libera-
tiouists mny answer that, when the time
comes tho motbodof accomplishment will
come with it.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Salt as a Fertilize*.—A correspond
ent <>f the Tuhcarouas (Ohio) Advocate
relates the foliowiug experiment with
the use of salt for a wheat crop: “I
hive been reading for the last six years
about the use of salt as a manure or fer
tilizer, aud last fall I purchased about five
barrels of dirty salt very cheap for trial.
I broad-caat about two and a half bushels
of salt to the acre, after the Und was

two acres, and tba salt part was stacked

part gave me from seven to eight bushels
more per eere than the part that was not

which wee not salted wee shrunken.
Big Word*.
Big words are great favorites with peo
ple ot small ideas aud weak conceptions.
They are often employed by men and
minds when they use language that may
best conceal their thoughts. With few
exceptions, however, illiterate and half-
educated persouh use more big words than
people of thorough education. It is u
very common but very egregious mistake
to Ktippose that long words are more gen
teel than short oues—just n<* the same
Rort of people imagiue high colors and
flihby figures improve their atyle of dress.
They are the kind of people who don't
begin but always “commenoe." They
don’t live, hut “reside." They don't go
to bed, but mysteriously “retire." They
don’t eat and drink, but “partake of re
frexhmenta." They are never aiok, bnt
“extremely indisposed,” and instead of
dyiug, at last, they “deoeaae.” The
strength of the Engliah language ia in the
short words — chiefly monoaylablea of
Saxon derivation—and people who are in
earnest seldom uae any-other. Love,
hate, sugar, grief, joy, express themeelvea
in short words and direct aenteooes; while
onnning, falsehood end affectation delight
in what Horaoe ealls serAo mfnfpwfaffi
“words e foot end e half long.”
