f@ V week of g’o ious sunshine and
brading air lias fairly turned the tide
of emi.rition towiuds the Centennial
groun Is, which would be tforth a jour
ney of a thousand uiiies to see if cveiy
building within the enclosure were r?is
cd from turret to foundation stone. As
you enter ti e gate shake the dust from
yoursho's, and give the great hall on
th) right the go by, don’t look at the
tow* ring peaks of the machinery depart/
mint, which stands upon the left, but
give me your hand and walk right
straight ahead over the railroad through
the department of Public Comfort down
by this beautiful little Japanese cottage
cn the left an 1 that unique little build
ing on the right and here let us pauso
a moment and take a look. See those
Japs how they work, time is of no con*'
sequence so them—slow and sure is the
rnctlo —but you can bet your bottem
dollar When the jeffi is done, it sucks
yes, those tiles so clumsy and so quaint
ly plastered with white mortar, will last
til! the crack of doom. That house will
outwear a dozen of your gimcrack Yan
kee houses, that like the Yorkshireman
razors are only made to tell. Step over
here into the Swedish school house
what do you think of that ? You had
an idea that there were no schools worth
ment-.-miug -.ntsido of Poston or Chica*
go. . individualize these two cities be
cause I always like to go from the hub
to inn periphery, andweall know there
is nothing beyond Chicago. Sec it and
<!;< , like the fellow once said of Naples
Put if you’ll take my advice, you’ll die
before you you go to Chicago, or they’ll
skm yr u alive when you get there. But
h re we are m the Swedish school house
v. .ut order, what convenience, wbat
positive beauty in everything that sur
rounds you. That dry old chap you see
over in the coiner was a schoolmaster in
Sweden, he looks a little dull aud rusty
new, but he is chuck full of knowlcd-v
/• f"' C
from the crown of his head to the sole
of his foot, llow iie used to tan the
lather breeches of the amine of Stock
holm and what substantial addition he
had made to their knowledge of the
sciences and arts by the aid of a wood'
ta shoo, or a cat and < ine tails, implc
menfs of husbandry happiness not for-
u r,, Uon in that well ordered community
where the fifth commandment is stiff
notan entirelj obsolete docuuieut, maps,
books, stufFed alligators., bottles with
snakes preserved in whiskey, and mon
ster toads in the same delightful fluid
are arranged upon tho shelves. I
have seen the time when it would have
boon mighty unsafe to leave those bot
tles laying around loos 1 if there were a
snake in them.; but a 1 nonsense aside
it is a beautiful schcoi house house where
every modern appliance is to be found
that can conduce to tho comfort and
happiness of the scholars. It is not
barge, but so co,.y that I found myself
insensibly humming, “I would I were a
hey agam, ' till I caught sight of the
black m the corner, when I sud
denly fclt'for the skirts of my coat and
rejoicing in my manhood walked out
to take the air and give the subject
further consideration. Here we are on
the path again ; that beautiful little
building right in pront in front of us
across the lake, is the ho”se of the Bra
ziliian commission. And surely nothing
more delightful can be imagined than
this sweet little cottage surrounded with
so rubbery and embowered in tr.es. —
1 hats the where Bom Pedro sometimes
discusses coffee and tuflins. Cast your
eve to the right as we cr >s3 the dell ,
take a look at that gypsy camp-fire in
the distance, and tell me if you ever
c w anything more romantic or beautiful
term that. W hat’s that place up there
shall looks like a Utah boarding house

vou atreicniug far away on every side
mu hiodseupu of loveliness unequalled.
1 'ul L'cauiifu'! building in front of u;. is
iiou.ouicu at nail, and one of the
handsomest edifices on the ground The
building on tbe left with the roof, that
looks like an ancicut abby, is Agricult
ural Liail, aud to my th nking one of
the most interesting portion of the Ex
hibition. Shall we wßk lack to the
Main Hall ? Oh, you want to look in
Imre. Very well, walk right in ; this
my dear madam is the celebrated Log
Cabin, which, if you had gone away
without seeing, you would have missed 1
one of t.he great sights of the Exhibi
tion Step in and look around ; no
charge. It is not the log cabin of to
day, but log cabin of a hundred years
ago —aud how snug and comfortable it
looks —that clock in the corner is a
hundred and fiifty years old and has
seen the day it was ju*t as good as it
ever was. And that spinning wheel by
the fireplace has spuu yam for stockings
for old gentlemen and ladies who cross
edthe styx while our great-great grand
fathers and great-great grandmothers
were royal subject of good Kind George.
Yes, ma’am : no humbug about that,
bring me an almanac, arid I’ll swear it.
How do I know? Well, I’ll tell you
how 1 know ; I was told it by A rs.
Noithwick. Who is she? That’s her
over there in the single breasted dress.
Look at her as she stands there aint she
a picture ? Six yards and a quarter in
that dress, and thcD she had a piece left
to make new sleeves with. No ma’am she
doesn't wear a bustle, and you couldn’t
get a hoop under that dress as big as a
nail keg. She ain’t old, take a good
good look at her sweet and kindly face,
her backjooks like a hundred, but hei
face would let her off at thirty. This
is Jerusha Penrose, and Abii.ii! Short,
and Patient Doolilt’e, and Comfort Hoi
bsook, dressed in the stylo of a hundred
years ago. The chairs, the table
the delt' that upon the worn eaten dress
sers all are old and worn out, but still
might l7 pleasant to look at. Now for
a short stroll through the Main Ball.—
Beaching the centre of the building by
the shortest cut, we hud ourselves near
the music bland de c erted for the time by
Gilmore’s Baud, and the rival potentates
of that king of instruments, the piano
face each others like gladiators in the
grand arena of music. It is a sight to
watch the faces of the crowd as this
player, however, is lost sight of in the
piano. It is not a question of musi
cal skill, but of the musical excellence
of the iustument, and the placers them
selves seem completely oblivious to the
mighty concours that sunounds them.—
Now you catch the grand tones of £
Chickeriug; next the sweet melody of
a W cber ; Becker and Steck Steinway
all claim your attention aud admiration
aud in the multitude of exquisite
harmony, your judgement is lost, and
you hardlyknow in whose fayor to de
c de. Watch the fingers of the players
fly ; that ripple of melody comes like
the soft beating of a summer wave upon
the sandy shore, and now it rises and
swells, and breaks like the ro'lingthun
der in a storm, till you almost doubt if
the effect is the work of human hands.
But let us walk on. Th i j is
the exhibit of Starr & Morcus, the cele
brated jewellers of Now York. We
won’t stop long, 1 ut I want to show you
a diamond necklace that might be
the ransom for a King. How lovely
how beautiful, how magnificent, how
superb, bursts from the crow don every
side. How much is it worth ! Oh, a
mere bag of nails, probably not over one
hundred thousand, dollars. Goodness
gracious; let us get cn, Sarah, I thought
it was worth about two dollars. Corne
lius & Son, of Philadelphia, have a
splendid display of gas fitures, rivalled
only by that of Arcyer & Pancost of
New York. Here we come to a beauti
ful display of glass by Smith & Broth
ers, of New Bedford, Massachusetts.—
You had an ideathat they had nothing
but blubber in New Bedford. It was
mixed np in your mind with oil casks
and fin-backs, tarpaulins aod try works,
whale boats and mouldy biscuit, and
“there she blows." No such thing, sir;
times ain’t now as they used tu was.—
The glory of Israel has departed from
her blubber hunters, and now she wres
tles in the arena and Paris, an and after a
shors nip and tuck, occasionally gets
them cn the hip.
Here is a case before us worthy ol ad
mirr. ion for it appeals to all the finer
feelings of your nature, it is dental in-'
strumerits, and belongs to James S.
Wh te* of Philadelphia. My gentle
friend have you ever had tho toothache ?
L think I hear you mentally exclaim—
no, l wish 1 had. Well if you should
ever get it that case was invented for
just such as you. Oh ! what lovely fur
ceps to pull out the shattered bone fron
your broken jaws, and what an admira
ble turnquoit to dislodge from its abU
ding place some growlling molar. Do
you see those delicate little nut pickers
over there, they are for digging out
roots, 1 t '.ink I should like to go fishing
in s smebodvs jaw with one of those
things just to see how it feels. Oh !
don’t I wish I had the toothache. Ah !
here we have a case that calls for spec
ial notice, entered by the Surgical In
stitute, all sorts of trusses and instru
ments for the assistance of afflicted hu
manity, it looks as though it would be
almost a pleasure to have a crooked leg
just for the sake of having it straight
ened by one of those admirable instru
ments.
Next we come to the display of Bra
zil shiuing in white and crimson and
gold, and looking like the halls of the
A'hatnbra. What a magnifi’ent display
of flowers, gorgeous in color and exqui*
site in beauty, how fresh and how love
ly they look, just as if they hid beer
gathered from some oriental garden on
ly an hour before, you can almost catch
their perfume through* their prison
houses of glass, these are not flowers
my friend but feathers pluck from the
birds of the ajr who were robbed of
their rainbow robes to furnu-h these
beautiful flowers, no description can
convey a perfect idiea of these gossa
mer and foal'i'pry boquets But not
on these do s Brazil depend for her
fame, she has within herself all the ol
nieuts iJ‘ a mighty empire. Diamonds
and golf silver, wheat, wine, wool, dye
woods, hides and coffee and sugar, and
every material product that can add to
the riches of a nation, and she has a
ruler wise and good,' a niau who has
made the name of Emperor respectable,
but I am near the end of my cab'e and
1 will finish Brazil next week.
t The attendance has been good and is
constantly increasing, the grounds are
improving every day, and in a week
most of the exhibits will be finished.—
Some people have an idea that it is of
no use to come on for a day. I say if
you only have one day to spare come on,
you can see enough in that day to keep
you actively thinking just about sixteen
years, you soon begiu to realize what a
heap of knowledge there is on the out.
side of yonr head, and i ’II guarantee
that no matter what the cost or how
brief the time you will fiud that you’ve
got your money’s woith. Among tbe
committees which have been selected
during the last week is the committee
in the Great Department of Agriculture,
which has selected John J. Coleman,
formerly professor of the lloval Ami
cultural College of England, as chair
man, and James S. Grinnell, the former
popular head clerk of the Patent Office
in Washington as secretary.

MAGNOLIA DELL.
BY KITTIE CLYDE.
Nestled among the hills in a little
dell, where the burning sun never pen
etrates, so thick and dense is the foliage
of the ancient trees that suimount it is
a little cottage which was formerly the
residence of a German family who were
passionately fond of floweis. By sur
rounding their home with the beautitu
flowers and delicious liuits that grow
abundantly in our Sunny South, we
fancy the rememberance of the dear old
Father land was kept ever present, ma
king them forget that mighty ocean
rolled between them and their kindred
and country. It is a quaintly beautiful
place ; the hills that enclose it on either
side completely screen it from the outer
world —from its noise and strife, making
it as near Paradise on earth as is often
found in this common-place work-aday
worl i.
Rare flowers bloow in rich profusion
alone tbe border. Rose of every con.
ceivable tint amit their arrouiatic frag
rance on the sweet South wiod, and
directly in front of the costage stands
a beautiful Magnolia tree that is laden
with showy cream colored flow e rs during
the spring and early summer. From
fragrance and for lamed tree the place
takes the name of “ Magnolia Dell.”
In the rear of the house, where the
forest birds sing love songs to their
mates, orchards of many different fruits
stretch fir u the distance; and farther
on is a little willow cops where the
winds i lay through the delicate foliage
cf the trees, with the sweet sighing mu*-
sic of an Aelion harp. Ah ! methinks
it was such an Accadian retreat as this
where Poe wrote that exquisite sweet
love poem to An cable Lee ; and as we
wander here alone, while the fading sun
god caresses the world with one last kiss
of farewell, we fancy it must have been
such a place where Dante first met his
Beatrice gathering clean ens and acca
cia flowers in tho old Buboli garden.

ABT. “ During my long career
as Artist and Composer, I
have met with many fine
European and American
Piano Fortes, but none
that combine grandeur and
poetry of tone, elasticity
of touch—in short, every
thing that renders a p ano
perfect, to such a high
degree as your celebrated
Piano Fortes.” [New York

shown by the rapidly increasing sales
This Ncw Family Machine is capa
ble of ji range and variety of work such as
was once thought impossible to perform bv
machinery. We claim and can show that
it is the cheapest., most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. It is remarkable, not'
only tor the range and variety of its sew
ing, but also for the variety and different
kinds of texture whicn it will sew with
equsl facility and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or ctarse.
making the inter-elastic lock stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uniformity of stitch
and, in a moment, this willing and never
weaiying inst-ument may be adjusted for
fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
the tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al
most any other work which delicate fingers
have been known to perform.
Ours having long been t, ho popular and
practical machines for manufacturing pur
poses, some dealers, using ‘-the tricks of
trade,” lake advantage of this in trying to
persuade purchasers that our Family Ma
chine is not equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers—and they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our new family n acliine embod

of construction ; ease of operation ; uni
formity of precise action at any speed; ca
pacity for range and variety of work,’ fine

Sewing Machine Sales 0f1874.
The table of sewing machine sales for
1874 show that our sales for that year
amounted to 211,697 machines, being a
laige increase over the sales of the previ
ous year. The table shows that our sales
exceed those of any other company for the
period named, by the number of 148 B<>2
machines, nearly
Three Times Those of any other Com
pany.
It may be further stated that the sales of
1873, as compared with the salci of 1872
show a relatively large increase beyond
the sales of other makers. For instance,
in 18/-. we sold 45,000 more machines than
any other company ; whereas, in 1873, the
sales were
113,254 Machines In Excess of Our
Highest Competitor.
And in 1974 our sales were
148,852 Machine,s More Than
An O her Company.
OFFICIAL EE PORT.
The following is a correct report of the
tales of sewing machines made by the lead
ing companies during the past four years.
A caieful examination of the figures will
Show that the “SINGER” have largely iu
creased each year, while, on the contrary a
corresponding decrease is shown in the sales
reported by all other companies. This is a
highly satisfactory result to us, and is only
another proof that “merit always has its re
ward.”
