Important to Visitors.
If the reader will follow us care
fully through this article we will en
deavor, to the best of our ability, to
acquaint him or her with the prin
cipal sights to be seen on the Ex
position grounds.
Oglethorpe Park, where the Ex
position is being held, is a beautiful
undulating tract of land, situated
two miles from the city on the
Western & Atlantic railroad.
Just walk this way and we’ll pur
chase railroad tickets at the Expo
sition railroad depot, Whitehall
street crossing, for the grounds.
After a pleasant ride of about ten
minutes we disembark at the depot
near the Exposition grounds. At
the gate hand your railroad ticket
to the gate-keeper on the out side,
which admits you to the depot. To
gain admittance through the turn
stile to the grounds have a half dol
lar in readiness which you will band
to the turnstile keeper. Should
yon take the street car which leaves
Peachtree crossing every seven min
utes, the herdic, backs or omnibus,
you will pay the turnstile keeper at
the main entrance.
Now you are on the grounds. To
the left is presented a magnificent
view of the main building from the
terraced hill sides. Fountains are
throwing up their silvery spray,
giving refreshment to the tropical
plants dotting the grounds on the
plateau on the North side of the
buildings. You will naturally feel
inclined to wander over that way,
but listen a moment.
First enter the Art Hall to the
right. Go in at the front door, in
spect the grand display of statuary
and then meander down the aisles.
Don’t go too fast. Remember there
is a great deal to see and it is pos
sible that you cannot afford, or do
. not care to stay several weeks in
■Mie city.
passing down a few rods,
back on the other side of the
<--nd see what is to be seen
Hm that a,de. After passing the en
tire length of the building, go up
stairs at the west end and turn
back. View Itbe works ol art to
your heart’s content, treasure in
your mind what wonderful things
you have witnessed, and then go to
the Florida building, which is di
rectly West of the Art Hall. By
this time you will be prepared to
drink in the sights Which will be
presented in the main building.
Here we turn you loose to roam at
large as it would be impossible to
attempt even a guidance in this de
partment of the grand show. There
is enough in the building to keep
you gazing for a whole week. But
hurry through and we will next see
the displays in the railroad build
ings. Here will be seen the exhib
its of Colorado, Texas, Kansas,
Georgia and North Carolina. The
various articles in this building will
occupy your attention for hours.
Then go a few steps farther south
and you will come to the exhibits
of South Georgia, which makes a
splendid showing forthat section of
our State. Passing the display of
the Nashville, Chattanooga A St.
Louis railway, you are uaheied into
an immense hall supplied with all
kinds of agricultural machinery,
from a diminutive churn to a steam
saw mill in full operation. We can’t
particularize. You must use yoi r
eyes to the best advantage in your
rounds. After taking in this build
ing, we next invite you to take our
arm and we will show you th ; pret
ty things in the new annex, w Licit
contains wagons, buggies, boats,
passenger cars, velocipedes a> d
other things too numerous to men
tion. After taking this round we
will turn you loose and let yon go
where your fancy takes you. Visit
the lake and see the pump which
forces the water to the Fountains,
and through all the buildings on the
grounds. We forgot to tell you
that at the extreme east wing of the
main building, is where the creature
comforts are provided.
This article is hurriedly written,
and our intention is to only give
the reader who is supposed not to
know much about the buildings a
rough idea of what there is to see
and how to see it. When yon have
passed all over the grounds and
viewed the various sights, you will
agree with us that the above sketch
is full of imperfections. Visit the
great allow, go home, tell your
friends about it and thank the wri
ter for the gratuitous information
you have received.

■ [From the Philadelphia Tl'ae*.]
i " Odd freight ? Well, I should say we
■ have," said D. F. Masters, one if the old-
■ est clerks in the main office of the Ad
ams Express Company, tis he twirled
- himself around on a high stool and faced
[ an inquiring rep orter. Mr. Masters talks
with great volubility, end, as he is in the
habit of dropping many small words, his
conversation was decidedly jerky. Yes,
we ship a little of everything, from dia-
I mends to Chester- white pigs and Lim
berg cheese. Remarkable thing about
i that cheese. Ever smell any? Rich,
; penetrating sort of fragrance, ain’t it?
;, Casa burst in the freight-room last
, spring. Made every one sick. Two Irish
, men tried to shovel it up. Smell nearly
• turned ’em inside out. Got a Dutchman,
regular out and out eat-a-sandwich-in
’ a-minuo sort of a fellow from Bergmyer's
[ saloon across the way, but he gave out
in ten minutes. Only finished it with
the help of a box of deodorizer. Phew I
They should charge double rates to ship
' such stuff,” and the speaker elevated his
nose as though a trace of the diabolical
, aroma still lingered in his nostrils.
“ Two babies have come through this
: office,’ one from Chicago for New York,
- and the other from Wasliington to this
, city. The men on the line made a great
fuss when the Chicago young one was
shipped. Telegraph operators all along
the route sent dispatches ahead, and
crowds ot people yent to the depot to
see the baby. Came all the way in the
cars. Had a hammock all rigged up.
New idea, you know, and messengers
. thought it was kind of a joke, but they
would’t like much of the kind. Baby's
, mother died in Chicago, father lived in
. New York; weight forty-one pounds, I
, believe; cost about $*2.50 to send it
i through. Philadelphia a baby came
along some time after. Both made their
, trip first-class, and seemed to enjoy
' things generally. Fed’m regulation'
spoon victuals from hotels along the
line. Often have dead folks shipped.
' Don't know why they send ’em by ex
press, though. Tain’t likely any one's
going to walk off with a corpse. Yes ; a
man shipped three short-horn rattle
| clean through to Nebraska about a
month ago. Unless he got them for
nothing they must have cost him a
, power of money when he got them.
■ Just think of a man expressing
a whole deer carcass 2,000 or 8,000
. miles. About as sensible for a butcher
1 to express a l>eef through from hero to
Camden. Last fall a lunatic sent a 1,200-
pound block of cedar from Qsliforu.lv
clear to New York. That’s nothing,
however, for I see some one sent twenty
barrels of mess {Kirk to the Pottstown
military camp by express and the
charges amounted to over SIOO. A cin
namon bear came through from Nevada
by express last January for the Zoologi-
- Said ha waa taano -wheat
they shipped him. Got loose near
Omaha, drove everyone out of the car,
. chewed up half a deer, ripped around
’ among the freight and had a circus all to
himself until he was lassoed and tied in
the corner of the car with a log-chain.
' Oh, yes, they ship lota of mirrors, but
the men don’t like 'em. Been yean'
1 bad luck to smash a looking-glass, you
know. Snakes till you ran't rest, but
, they keep them in boxes. Messengers
don’t mind ’em. Now, you might think
eggs are a nice freight, bnt they ain’t.
More expressmen grow bald on account
of worrying over baskets of eggs than
anything I know of,” and Mr. Masters
turned from the reporter to receive a
package of hymn-books consigned to ■
missionary in the Black Hills.

Ata summer resort not far from Elmira
a terrible tragedy came very near hap
pening. Two ladies occupied the same
' room together, aud as soon as they had
prepared their toilets for bed one of
them very thoughtlessly, and with a
great lack ot wisdom, blew out the light
before either one of them had taken the
precaution to look under the bed for the
presence of the usual and expected
burglar. The fact that the summer-re
sorters had, tn addition to their tuidue
haste in extinguishing the caudle, for
gotten to provide themselves with |
matches added very seriously to the
complications and hopes and fears of the
terrified females. It could not be denied
that there wiu» a man under the bed, ami
to go to sleep without an exploration of
the premises would never do. Oue of
them secured an umbrella, and while
she laid herself on the edge of the bed
she thrust the umbrella under the struct
ure, and went through as many motions
as a man does at a circus when he stirs
. up the animals. What was her horror,'
therefore, when the other end of the
umbrella was grasjied by s firm hand;
and, sure she had at last found her
burglar, with a scream that awoke up
the whole hotel she threw herself over
to the back side of the bed, where in
safety reclined hor companion; and when
the latter sarcastically handed her the
umbrella, and said that perhaps she had
better stand it up in the corner, she was
more mail than scared, and vowed that
if any man was fool enough to stay under
hor bed he could for all her.

Porcelain, which has been known to
the Chimse and Japanese for ages, was
not made in Europe until the beginning i
iof the last century, when a German dis- i
8 covered the art purely accidentally. I
"This man was an apprentice to an apothe >
‘ cary at Barlin, when he met with an al-?
chemist who, in return for some good'
1 offices done him by his master, promised ’
B to teach him the art of making gold.:
8 To discover the grand secret, he labored i
5 incessantly ; and soil happened that, ■
• having mixed various earths together in:
’ order to make strong crucibles, in the!
• course of baking them he accidentally
t discovered the art of making porcelain.

• Not having pen, ink and paper conven
' lent, he wrote tftc list on the stone with
’ the etching preparation, intending to
'Snake a copy of it at leisure. A few
’ days later, when about to clean the
stone, he woffilered what effect
' tie would have iq>ou it He applied the
1 acid, aud in a few minutes saw the writ
’ utg standing out in bold relief. The
’ next step necessary was to ink the sto«r
’ and take off (he. impression. The art of
etching u;K>n glass was discovered by a
’ giiuw-cntter accidentally Jetting a few
drops Os aquafortis fall upon his specta-
! clett. He noticed that the glass became
1 corroded and softened where the Mid
' had touched it, and that was hus)

glass with varnish, applied the corrod*

around the drawings. When the var

No two of us walk alike. The hingee
of our gait turn the same way, but with
' different results.
The baby strikes out a toddle because
: it hasn t strength enough to walk, but l
■ it has the underlying principle of a nat- 1
i oral walk, because it “ toes in.” “Toe
ing out ’ is a military artitice invented
| for the purpose of showing how much
i more a man knew than the Lord did. 1
The hippity, hoppity, skip-and-jump
.is peculiarly the little girl’s gait Un
easy and restless, the flutter-budget
• seems determined to wear the sole of her
•shoe and the soul of hor mother out at
the same time ; but she is the prettiest '
picture of animation humanity can show.
The dead run, all out of breath, is the
small boy’s gait You can set down the
boy who so far forgets himself as to '
walk as already in his dotage. i
The bound-to-have-it gait is a rapid,
straightforward stride, never turning to
the right or left The man who has it
knocks over children, barks his shins
against market baskets, and stubs his
toe against everything on the walk.
. But he gets there, and his coat-tail ar-
I rives about two minutes later.
' There is the alow, measured gait, tread,
tread, all day long. The man who car
ries the hod has this peculiarity down
fine. He would run to a fire in the same
step aud get there—possibly.
W The long lope, thirty-four inches to
the step, with a sag to the knee-joint, fa
vigorous swing of the arms, is that of
a young man from raraldom. He gets
the walk from going over the rough
■ground, and anybody that geta the best
of him has got rough ground to go 1
over.
The quick, sharp and spiteful gait,
with the little metallic heels ringing on
‘the pavement, ia the gait of the smart
young miaa, with bright eyes and lots
•of vivacity. The young man who in
tends to keep company with her for life
must make up hia mind to train to her
atep. She will never train to his.
The every-day business gait Going
right along with your feet, and your
thoughts in the office, store or whatever
it is. You never know how far the walk,
or how long it takes you to cover it It
ia an indefinite, and frequently the only.
to good digestion.
Thetake-it-easy, don’t-care-a-cent sort
of gait, with a cane twirling over his
finger, is a typical man of the world. He
leads a life of leisure, anil wouldn’t hurry
himself. Aa a consequence he grows
fat, rheumatic and gouty, and in latter
years walks with two canes and tremu
lous limbs. It doesn't p«f to bunch
your pleasure.

Koumiss has come into notice as a
beverage because of its use by the Pres-'
ident The following is a recipe for
pinking it: Fill a quart bottle up to the
Mck with milk; add twotable-spooufuU
of white sugar (after dissolving the same
by the addition of a little water over a
hot fire); quarter of a 2-cent cake
of compressed yeast; then tie the cork
on the bottle securely and shake the
mixture well; place it in a room of the
temperature of 50 to 95 degrees Fahren
heit for six hours, and finally in an ice
box over night The milk used should
be perfectly pure, and the yeast fresh.
It there is any curdle in the koumiss or
thickened part resembling cheese, it
shows that the fermentation has gone
too far and the drink is spoiled. It may
be added that unless care is taken in
drawing the cork the fluid will go out
with it, like warm Scotch ale. Koumiss
is already obtainable at Washington
bar-rooms.

A man who attempted last summer to
cross Caddo lake, in Texas, in a skiff
containing a quarter of beef was act
ually pursued by a school of alligators.
[When about a quarter of a mile from
shore eight of the monsters, attracted
iby the fresh beef, attacked the Ik at,
endeavoring to upset it. By hard row
ing the teaitman reached a cypress tree
some distance from shore, which he
seized, and abandoned the skiff. He
remained in the tree until next day,
when two fishermen, who were crossing
the lake, heard his cries aud went to
bis assistance. The alligators attacked
the rescuers, but by a dexterous use of
their oars and a double-barreled shot
gun they succeeded in keeping the
enemy at bay until the unfortunate man,
, more dead than alive, could be gotten
out of the tree and rowed safely to shore.

In a speech at a Press Fund Dinner, at
Manchester, Eng., Minister Lowell said:
“I think there is one thing in which
even those who are pessimistically in
clined will say that the world has im
proved, and that is the press. [Cheers. ]
It is certainly a long stride from the
Grub Street Journal—-uny, from Thack
eray’s picture of the pressmnn, which is
only a generation old—j such a table
as this, and to a prosperity of the press
which indicates a higher civilization,
and which is also justified in the noble
manner in which it is used. [Cheers. ]
Tile great danger which thoughtful men
have always dreaded from the press was
the danger of irresponsible' power, and '
irresponsible power has, almost invari- !
ably, been ill-used power. But I must
say that in that respect the press has :
advanced in the right direction, and that
such publicity as it gives is more useful
than harmful. [Hear, hear.] I have
more than once protested against the
“interviewer,” who has certainly done
what few men of genius have been able
to do—that is, to add a new verb (I will
not say whether or not it is an elegant
one) to the language. [Laughter.] But '
I must acknowledge that ho is frequent
ly useful, and that he enables public
men out of power to make speeches
from which they would otherwise be
precluded. [Hear, hear.] And when I
remember that the first great and model
interviewer was Boswell, I confess that
my feelings soften toward the whole
race. [Cheers and laughter. ] I alluded
a moment ago to what is sometimes a
disagreeable—or may become a very
disagreeable and dangerous—quality of
the press, and that is the catering to
a universal curiosity wliieh leads to an
invasion of the privacy of life [cheers], |
aud which, if it justified ail that has
been feared of it, would make us all live
; in a much fiercer light than that which
is said to beat upon a throne. But when 1
we consider—as I think all thoughtful
men should consider—that, I will not
say the majority, but to a considerable
portion of mankind, their consciences
are external to them, and that Mrs.
Grundy, in short, is a large part of their
law, I think we can see how in this di
rection the press may lie highly service- |
able in promoting purity of life and a
high code of public morals. ”
Many German newspapers have
reached a ri;>e old age. Os the 4,413
that arc now in existence, ninety-eight
were born in the Isst century and a few
in the century before. One at Frank
fort is 251 years old, one at Magdeburg
253, and one at Leipsic 207. Os papers
whose ages average from 80 to 50 years,
there are 2(W, while those that average
from 50 to 21 numlier 1,127. Perma
nence in news]mper existence in Ger
, many is not, however, the general rule.
Os the {tapers that were in circulation
during the year 1880, 20 per cent, .came
into existence in that same year, and
their average tie waa not more than six
months.
Tin: people of Iceland, with a popu
lation of 80,000 inhabitants, support five
newsjmpera. In Reykjavik there are
two— lnafold (the poetical name of Ice
land), which is advanced lilieral, and
Djodolfur (the ation’s wolf), adminis
tration organ. At Akwreyre there are
also two— Nordb nge.r (the
ot republican opinions, aud Preodt (the
Wise One or Intelligencer). The fifth
is published at Eskifyordur, and is called
Skuld (the Future), and is very ad
vanced and buld, as its name seems to
indicate.
Nevada’s finances are in a bad condi
tion. Her tavsa are said to be increas
ing, while the arwigned value of property
diminishes. She finds it hard to pay
current expenses, and has a funded debt
of $557,017, on which she must pay 9)
per cent interest

/S A DOG A WOLTI
The Anthropoh >gical Society of France
had under discussion, not long ago, the
question whether the <tog descends from
the wolf. M. Harbourdin said that he
had brought up a wolf that was now fl
years old and was as gentle as a lamb.
It was, lieside, remarkably intelligent, 1
and could open the doors by turning the
, handles. When it heard a clock strike
, it would stand on its hind legs to look
i behind, and would move the hands [
round with its paws. It is fond of per
: fumes, and lives on good terms with
i poultry aud other animals, but has a
great aversion for cats. Its bark resem-
I hies that of a dog. HL de Mortillet, on
the other hand, said that he had been
i endeavoring in vain to tamo wolves.
They were gentle enough so long as
i they were young, but liecame savage at
the adult age.

I bad one just flogging. When I
was aixiut 13 I went to a shoemaker
and begged him to take me a« an ap
prentice. He, bdng an honest man,
immediately brought me to Bowyer, who |
got into a great rage, knocked me
down, aud even pushed Crispin rudely
out of the room. Bowyer asked mo
why I liad made myself such a fool. To
wlich I answered tlint I had a great do
lire to tes shoemaker, and that I hated
the thought of being a clergyman.
"Why sol” said ho. ”Because, to
tell you the truth, sir,” said I, “lam
tn infidel.” For this, without more
ado, Bowyer flogged me, wisely, as I
think ; soundly, as I know. Any whin
ing or sermonizing would have gratified
,my vanity, and confirmed mo in my
abHiirdity ; as it was, 1 was laughed at,
1 and got heartily ashamed of my folly.—
