J. a 8. in the Saw York World.
Philadelphia, May 13.—The hun
dreds of columns which have been con
tributed to the newspapers concerning
the centennial exhibition, may or may
not have the effect to attract readers to
the perusal of more columns crowned
with that fearsome heading. I am
afraid people will be gradually wearied
with the subject unless some pains are
taken to divert it of feverish sensation
alism and adorn it with unexaggerated
statement of facta.
I.
It should be said in justice, that
while owing o the hard times and many
other causes, the obstacles to the estab
lishment of the exhibition were greater
than had ever been encountered by
any similar international enterprise
they were met with commensurate en
ergy, {<aiicnee and skill, that the exhi
bition is more complete and valuable
in some respects than former ones; and
tliat the delay of a full arrangement of
it, which bids fair not to be prolonged
three months like the delay at Vienna,
results almost w holly from the blun
ders and sloth ot exhibitors, and from
_ series of accidents on land and sea.

The couiiietence of the police force in

a test on the opening of the grounds,
which will be re|ieateJ only on tlie
fourth of July. It did not staod the
test. But at the same time the milita
ry arrangements were equally faulty.

old man treated yon, and yet,as 1 hear,

Mr. Brown suddenly started. W

greater cruelty could he have inflicted
u|ion her than to have compelled he
to marry him ~
Just at this time a servant announ

Hoggs was not pre|*»rcd to come un

ing at all, it is to be said after not over-
hasty glances down these miles of ave
nues.
The machinery building Is even
more unprepared for systematic de
scription. Two-thirds of the machines
which are to be operative during the
exhibition are not fully act up. But
enough appears to testify that the con
tributions of theJUnited States to this
department will be far more creditable,
comparatively, than those of any other
building, except agricultural hall. The
Horticultural hall is so much more
attractive than its contents that until
the season of flowers comes it will be-
simply a delightful shelter from the
rains. It is the most beautiful building
in the grounds, and it is a real pity
that the choicely selected colors which
adorn its outside are destined to fade
this summer under the hottest rays
above Tophet. A greater pity is that
the grounds surrounding it, admirably
laid out, are likely, judging from pres
ent indications, to be spotted and made
to resemble a revolutionary quilt by a
patch-work of ill-ordered flower gar
dens. The view Iron this point is too
charming to be chequered in t'*at way;
and all must hope tliat Mr. Miller, the
excellent head of the department, will
compel a fair adherence to good taste
on the part of all outside exhibitors of
flowers and shrubbery.
In the sgricultural building things
promise to be very lively before the
summer's close. This is a department
which will increase interest as the
months proceed, and August and au
tumn must come before rural pilgrims
to the centennial will derive thence the
fullness of joy. Still, mighty things are
already going on there, _ and American
’’macliines” make a noise louder than
the tails of a thousand rattlesnakes. In
antagonism to the wines, ales and the
olives and chow-chow of the Old World

As will be seen from ihe following
article translated from Die Natur for the
Chronicle, the aomestication and breed
ing of the ostrich have been introduced
into several European countries with
immense success. In no conntrv in the
world are the conditions for tbe suc
cessful pursuit of such an industry
more favorable than California. The
dry climate, mild temperature and
sandy soil of our state on which any
amount of clover can be raised, are just
what are required for the successful
rearing of the ostrich. The requisite
food of every sort is plentiful and
realize a respectable income. The birds
begin to breed in the fifth year. Each
pair must be kept carefully separated,
as the males are exceedingly jealous,
and a gay Lothario is not only likely to
have nis plumage destroyed, but his
some irascible brother
knight of the plumes.
The ostrich farmers, of Algiers give
the following as the result of their la
bors;
With perfect safety we may reckon

Mr. Brown ad vanci d to salute his new
made son, when what was his surprise
to see, not Barrister Jones but Edward
Wilson!
"Celia! Celia!” said lie, "what does
this all m an ?”
It means,” said Edward, speaking
for Celia, "that she is now my wife. In
extenuation of what 1 have done 1 can
oi.lv rejtcat the old proverb that all is
fair in love or war. Celia and I have
loved each other 1-mg,and when Btrris-
ter Jones heard that Celia’s heart could
never lie his, lie very generously step-
l*ed out of the way and rendered me
valuable service in the consummation ot

iny part that by aoaet of mine vvill you
ever have occasion to regret the inci
dents of to-day.”
"Fattier," said Celia, now full of
courage,"! have followed the inclination
of iny heart, and if you will just look
over this little deception, I will think
you the dearest and best of fathers!”
Of course Mr. Brown could not with
stand his daugter'sentreaty. He look
ed at her a moment and said:
Blest if she ain’t ius*»t such another
bride as her mother was before her
Well, Edward, von have a capital w ife,
and you must prove yourself worthy of

"I think," said a voice remarkably
like Barrister Jones’, "that one couple
should not monopolize all the happi

the department of public comfort is not

The restaurants in the rohuds and
buildings are live, viz. The American
restaurant, the southern restaurant,
the Trois Freres Provencal, hauliers
«ierman restaurant, and the restaurant
Sndrewn. Of these the American res
taurant (which is kept by a number of
enterprising Israelites) is, so far. much

if any swindling there. It is situated
in the pleasantest part of the grounds,

Memorial hall and tlie art gsllery in
the rear of it are neither of them pre
pared. But few of the galleries in
memorial hall are completely hung;
still fewer are completely labeled, and
the chambers in tlie rear building are
mostly in chaos. It will be a good while
lrefore the statuary and painting and
specimens ol art applied to industry of
the several countries are fully arranged
so that bv tlie partial aid of the incom
plete catalogues, and the still more par
tial aid of the ushers, a novice will be
able to pursue his inquiries here with
satisfaction. To-day a connoisseur
could merely examine specimens of
contributions in a few parts of the
memorial hall and catch glimpse* of
divers canvases in the annex. The
French paintings were not all bung.
The Italian statuery (the most of which
will disappoint all but the lovers oi fan
ciful ana fantastic sculpture) was still
hemmed round by boxes and shav
ings.
There are some things in these art
buildings of extraordinary merit—a
very few things of that description
which are American.
Tlie decision *o close the exhibition
on Sunday meets with a volume ol
protestations from every quarter ex

compel the opening of the grounds,
and of the buildings sooner or later.
Probably the necessity of increasing

off since the opening day, will accel

cost four francs in Algiers, are worth

“Among the most remarkable inhabi
tants of our Zoological gardens must be
"reckoned the African ostrich (Struthio
Oamelus). It is, at the same time, one
of the commonest, almost every insti
tution possessing several specimens.
Its natural history has been thoroughly
investigated, but its manuers anil
breeding in domestication present
points of interest of greater natural
consequence than the description of its
life in tbe open plains. Assuming
then that the reader ia perfectly ac

THE OSTRICH IS EJCtnjtMELY VALUABLE.
As an article of commerce his plum
age is of the greatest importance. His
meat and eggs are used as food, and his
fat serves as medicine for rheumatism
and an ointment for sores. His skin i3
also very valuable, and his hones are
employed for various purposes. The
capacity of an ostrich egg is equal to
about thirty hen eggs. Not only is the

egc shells are utilized in various way
f r jrnameuts, water vessels, etc., and
are worth about four or five francs. In
Cape Colony the value of a dead male
ostrich is estimated at from 550 to 600
franc*, a female at 180 to 200 francs.
The value ot the ostrich is diminished
about one-third by domestication.
Considering the great nsefuln> ss of *he
ostrich, it seems a pity that it is not
better protected from reckless destruc
tion at the hauds of hunters, ludeed,

To the Public: Would von like to
know how a man feels who is about to
commit suicide ? In the first place, he
must feel so badly that no matter what
is to come hereafter, it is more endur
able than the present; and secondly.be
must feel that, more endurable or not,
he cannot help the act; that if even the
future is worse than the present,
the present is unendurable I
suppose medical men would
like to know just the
mental condition of one who can
Miillle of his mortal coil.
It is this: My nerves and senses are
as sound as they ever were. I can at
tend to business as efficiently, and as
fully realize that the chief end of man
is to gather ducats, as I ever could.
Rut 1 can also realize that without my
better hall’ I am as a perfect engine
without steam—useless.
Doctors of divinity would doubtless
like to know my moral status and re
ligious ideas. My moral idea is tills:
That man slould’do his duty in spite
of obstacles and consequences, and
that so doing is the only thing which
will bring the peace which passeth all
understanding. I acknowledge that
I am t o weak so to d \ In regard
to a future state, my reason does
not fully accept that there is a future
state of which we will be conscious,
believe iu the immortality of the soul,
or the life principle, or whatever it is,
as I believe in the immortality of a
bushel of coal; that it may change its
form so essentially as to be unconscious
of having ever existed before, but that
still, as the coal, it is not destroyed,
but simply changes its form. My
heart may speak differently to me, but
even th«-n 1 believe that whate\er i* f
is inevitable, as it must all proceed
from one great original, and so must be
ia accordance with his will.
However, I shall probably know more
about it in twenty-four hours than all
the D. D.s living. 1 am not crazy. I
know that the world is full of good and
enjoyable things, and that they were
put here for our good and benefit, and
that we should strive and work to ob

to state that Miss is in no way
responsible for my having loved her;
that almost bvfore she had ground for
thinking that my feelings were more
tender than those of friendship, she in
formed me that her heart was another's,
and tliat,while she esteemed and cared
for me as a friend, I could be nothing
more to her. But she was mistaken in
that, and though I could not c- nvince
her of it while living, she will realize it

SUCCESS WOULD RESULT
if such enterprises were undertaken in
countries where climatic conditions
and capacity of soil, supported by Eu-
pean intelligence and sufficient capi-
, were present. Dr. Carl von Scher-
zer has just made proposals to intro
duce ostrich farming in Dalmatia. In
Germany, managers of zoological gar
dens generally take great interest in
this matter, and are engaged in con
ducting experiments with a vie w to the
introduction of ostrich farming into
northern Europe. Their success has
been of such a nature that favorable re
sults may be expected. In 1873 4, Dr.
Bodinus’ entertained the members of
the German ornithological society at
banquets in Berlin, at which ostrich
eggs formed the principal course. His
guests have expressed themselves en
thusiastically on the merits of the dish

and the south of France also, it has
been successful y introduced. As seen
zoologic tl gardens, the ostrich
admittedly a hardy and enduring bird.
Up to quite recently, however, the
strongest prejudice existed against its
domestication. In fact, it was believed
impossible. There was some founda
tion for this belief, inasmuch as expe-
imeuts in this direction bad been made
as hr back as thirty years ago without
any distinct prospect of success,
rector Hardy aud Carl Riviere had tried
their hands at the domestication and
breeding of ostriches for a long time
until at last, in 1851, the first brood o
young ostriches was reared by them
Encouraged by this success the direc
tors oi various zoological gardens in
Europe devoted more attention to the
subject, and annual broods of ostriches
became quite a common occurrence.
The first permanent success was gained
by Desmeure, in Florence, and after
wards in Marseilles, by Suquet. In the
latter place several broods were reared
in one year. Not only was

he does uot do so, in which event the
female, especially when young, de[

place. Tlie eggs should be carefully
collected and kept until they reach the
number of fifteen; then a nest is built,
in which the male commences hatch

eggs from an elderly female ostrich. Iu

JN ITS WILD STATE,
tbe ostrich lays two or three eggs out
side its nest and from seven to nin«
inside. As sooo as the young have
come out of their shell, the mother
bnaks the eggs outside for the pu
of supplyingher little ones with
until they are able to reach their feed
ing places, which are usually miles
distant from where they have been
batched. The ostrich eats of every
thing. The voung should be first fed
with eggs, v* getable and meat. After
a short time they are able to cater for
themselves, and at the age of two
months they are out of all danger, and
require no further care. At six months
the very worst of w eather will not do
them much harm. Where hatching
done by the birds themselves, as is still
the case under domes’ication in many
places, the greatest attention must be
paid to the young, to 6ee that the old
ones do not tread on them, which from
clumsiness they are very likely to do.

hatching is becoming universal, a far
greater guarantee is afforded of the sue

One beautiful sunny morning

suburbs of the town tamping a charge

with the temping iron he cheerf

obscuring many of the words and syl

with the blows:

“Two weeks later, Col. Horace Feath
erstock,the veteran edi orof the Fagle-
villeTn-weekly Tomahawk and Mirror,
sat in his sanctum calmly smoking a
regallia cabbage-disiofectoro maduro,
and in the intervals when the cloud of
smoke lifted he scanned the columns of
his exchanges. He was surprised, more
thau that, pained, to note the startling
story of murder that disfigured every
paper. Their columns seemed to reek
with gore, aud when he closed his eyes
lie found it easy to imagine tliat they
were printed with blood. No man more
than the colonel had commended tbe
promptness of liis fellow-citizens in re
senting affront, himself dad contributed
no mean share to tlie mortuary statis
tics of the state; but brutal murder that
for base plunder or any other ignoble
purpose shocked him. In every in
stance the victim seemed to have been
cut to pieces; and in all his wide expe
riencethe colonel had never known any
of his friends, however, skilled in the
use of the bowie, to so completely can
an opponent. In fact, many of tlie mui
derers would never nave been discov
ered but for the apparent carelessness
of the murderers, who had left here
and there in the woods, the reeds, and
the swamps, a hand, or a foot, a piece of
a leg, or an arm, which they seem to
have been too reckless to secrete with
the rest of the body.
"Another two weeks later, the citi
zens of all tlio counties for many miles
around were in an uproar over their
coroners’ bills. All over the country
the coroners were growing nch.and the
vigilance committees that were hunting
the mysterious assassins were, as the
charges for the inquests rolled up, al
most moved to turn their wrath from
the murderers to the coroners. At last
the outcry grew too strong to be quieted,
and investigation was resolved upon.
By common consent Eagleville was the
place appointed, and one day in the
month of July a great throng of the in
habitants and all the coroners assem
bled there. Each coroner brought with
him, as proof of the legitimacy of his
inquests had been held, and there were
some remarkable exhibits. One enter
prising man had held an inquest on
loot, and another,whose crimson clarion
proclaimed his bibulous propensities,
iiad put in a big bill for sitting on an ear.
"Not many of the coroners had con
tributed to the collection when the sur
geon iu charge noticed that some of the
pieces seemed to 1 e counterparts of
the othere; and as more coroners laid
down their fragments, further similari
ties served to deepen what in his mind
promised to be an even more startling
and wonderful mystery than the mur
ders themselves. When tlie last piece
had come in, aud all hands had repair
ed to the tavern to refresh preparatory
to the investigation, the surgeon, with
un ill defined motive, set to work to
match thejodds aud ends and as he pro
gressed it was impressed upon him that
the murdered men must have borne
striking resemblance to each other, for
their parts seemed interchangeable
As he kept on matching and match
ing, the body grew and the pile of frag
ments diminished, until at last, when
only a great toe was lacking to complete
the reconstructed body, there was left
of the coroners’ offerings one great toe
and nothing more; and having stuck
this on, the surgeon, with some feeling
of pride iu his skill but little knowing
that he had unconsciously solved the
mystery, placidly awaited the return
ofthe investigators; and they soon
came, with Col. Featherstock march
ing gravely at their head. Stalking
solemnly in through the open door, the
colonel took one good look at the body
and then with that profanity which in
periods of excitement sometimes mar
red his otherwise classical utterance,
he burst out: “John Junkless, by —.
"it was indeed him. Sitting happily
on a stone in the suburbs oi Eagleville
a mouth before, tamping blasting pow
der into a hole in a rock beneath his
feet, he had pounded too hard, the
charge had expanded, and he had been
blown all over the country in the small
fragment* upon which the reporters
had based their tales of mnrder, and
the coroners had held their many in
quests. Probably no other man was
ever so widely distributed. You have
heard of the man that was blown into
the middle of next week-this was the
man that was blown into the middle
several adjoining counties.
"Ofcourse,” Mr. Magoffin co* c’u led,
"this discovery relieved the coroners
from any suspicion of corruption, but
it also led to the passage of a wholesome
law which has been substantially
adopted in many states, namely, that
