Ob? Correspondent on the [From o :r Regular Correspondent 1 P.iiLADnLtiui/i, j-jus sth, iß7<\ 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 on tom * walk oi s ? Well, that’s the la {. ■ beer su'.oen, — lager beer five cents a glass no, i -thank dou, I tfever drink chousejiie, Id rather not, come right m mg, i want to show you this cno view hero, and then we’ll take a stroll in the :un hi all. filiero this is the spot; stand here; talk to your pictures and ivormyy, ;onk at. Coat, hill, dale, valley, laiceloun tain,flowers,every thing that can lily landscape is here, the magnifi cent foliage of the trees, and rare beau >'• of the fl./wers, lUa rich fragrance jujus Use air with delicious perfume; 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. Bboadbrim 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.

WITH ATTACHIftKTS For All Kinds of Work . isfvst winning favor in the household, as 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 ies new and essential principles—simplicity of construction ; ease of operation ; uni formity of precise action at any speed; ca pacity for range and variety of work,’ fine or coarse-leaving all rivals behind it. 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.
