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.

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. cartful, |#<dit«> u 'TaVTkM'BLLKN. • iTeiver Jr»t td Western Railroad of Alabama. fT • '■ 541 HOURS TO NEW YORK NINE HOURS FASTEST TIME 1 WKHTKKN RAILROAD OK ALABAMA, COMJMIiUS, 0a„ .Jlil) IJlh, 1074.

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.

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.
