TUI] CENTENNIAL.
Continued Descriptions of the
Exhibition.
[From ottv Regular Correspondent 1
Philadelphia, June 16th, 1876.
For the past week we have been
wandering about through the Main Ilall
crammed to with all sorts of
indescribable beauties and wonders
gathered from the four quarters of
the earth and the scattered island of the
sea.
Marvellous indued are they—wonders
such as few of us can expect see
again—but here is an exhibition of over
three hundred buildings, many of them
worlds in themselves, containing vast
stories of wealth and grand contribution
of genius which must be seen but can
not be described. Buildings whose
names affords not the slightest indica
tion of the treasures they possess or the
uses to which they are applied,and the
character I here give, applies particular
ly to the Agricultural Department a
department too little appreciated and
too little known and the treasures of
which have beeu neglected by the great
mass of Ceutenuial visitors, many ot
whom pass whole days in that Main
Hall and Art Gallery,admiring pitchers
and vases,meerschaum pipes, silverware,
s'atue* and paintings —things entirely
beyond their reach and which they can
never hope to possess.
The building, itself when scon from
the distance, looks like some old abbey,
being in the form of a cioss, and all of
its cupolas steeples a.< and turrets are sur
mounted by crosses which give it quite
a- ; religious and respectable appuarauee.
The building is about eight hundred
and twenty-six feet on each of its sides
and contains within its walls us much of
Interest as any other building on the
grounds- It is a positive relief to get
away from the glittwjug gewgaws and
things that surround you in the Main
Hall. There everything is suggestive
ot the most extravagant luxury, wealth
ai4%ase, the surest index of a nation’s
lu'n. The richest of silverware, the
costliest of carpets, the rarest works of
art, laces and jewels are around you on
every side- Everything about you tells
of wealth and but the mo
meat you step into the Agricultural
Hall }ou are in another world. Your
eyes are no longer tortured by visions
(t wealth away beyond your reach and >
unpleasantly reminding you of the uiul- j
vitude of grades above yon. for while j
there is wealth untold within this aiigh* I
j ° |
j ty building you- fed that it is among
the possibilities that part of it may one 1
j. day on yours. Here are no jewels, no j
| gold, no silver, no diamonds, but the j
I square products of hard and honest toil I
i the fundamental elements of individual I
success and the promard sources- of a
nation’s wealth and greatness.
V hen most people think of Agri
cultural hall, who have not visited ic,
vision of huge pumpkins, gigantic cab
bages,enormous beets and extraordinary
I potatoes immediately float before their
i disordered imaginations, and you
will be somewhat surprised to learn, no
doubt that there is not one of the arti
cles I have named to be found within
the Agricultural Hall, if I except a half
dozen dishes of potatoes left, there by
some ambitious amateur about two weeks
ago. It is nctouly the products of agri.
culture in the way of cereals and seeds
but by what may seem a strange mis
nomer of classification many things are
so remote in their relationships that it
requires sometimes pretty acute knowl
edge of logic to observe its particular
bearing on the business of agriculture,
lr. one portiou cf the hall is a gigantic
stuffed giraffe. Two countryman the
other day, went up to extmiue him.—
One said, “Joe, I dont’t. see what that
critter has got to' do with agriculture."
,‘Y r ou don’t," replied his friend, “Why
any fool could see that that beast was
an agricultural production. Now aint
grass an agricultural production, op
don’t ho eat grass and yarbs and cocoas
i nuhsun’ain’t hun-agricultural production
in course it is." And so he walked away.
' Locke himself never arrived at as logi-
cal a sequence.
As you enter the south door you rca.
lize the difference between the building
you are in and all you have seen before.
On the left hand as if guarding the por
tals, is the wine exhibit of Sohnlien of
ilhiems. Monster bottPs crown the
gates such as the Titans might have us
ed millions of years before the present
pigmy race was thought of. What
mighty drautbs these ponderous bottles
suggest down throats like rolling rivers
and iuto stomachs like boundless seas—
they seem to tell cf exhau3tless plenty
which laughs to scorn all thoughts of
economy or thrift and cries out, “Drink
ag„iij, drink again, and keep on drink
till doomsday rings. You never drink
me dry," and remindig you of the oik
song,
“Oh tl>at a draught might tie
Deep as the rolling Zuyder Zee'”
That there may be no partiality in
the way of drinks, while the left portal
is guarded by llhemsh wine, the right
is flaked by good old Irish, whisky—
where it stands a wholesale warning to
all crusaders, and a fountain of delight
to all lovers of mountain dew. Usuua
baugh and all those Delectable con pound
against which Father Mathew launched
the Anetliema Marinotha. Passing un
schalhed between this Scylla and Char
ybdis you find yourself confronted by a
number of cases suggestive of temper
ance and good cheer. Y T ou have eluded
the god of wine, and the demon of whis
ky, and here you are gazing into cases
of chocholate, and cocoa, and extract of
coffee, and all sorts of pleasant drinks
which cheer but not inebriate. But
here is a case that demand’s something
more than a passing notice—not because
it is so pretentious but because it repre
sents a firm of whom I_ may say. as I
said last week of Great Britain, with a
slight difference of course—on whose
pickles the sun never sets ami whose
preserved meats are known around the
wor'd. This is the ease of Crosse and
B*ackwell the great pieklers and pre
servers of London. I say great using
the term in the sense that Kings and
Queens are great, for they are Kings,
Queens, Emperors, Autocrats in the
universal empire of pickles and preser
ves. How dainty and how toothsome
those bottles and packages look, and
now as the attendant opens the door to
display some article of goods, catch the
rich fragrance of the vinegar, which is
equal in perfume to the rose of Sharon
or the lily of the Valley. It would be
impossible to describe the number of
articles exhibited in their exquisite
case or tc speak in too high conmienda
tion of their excellent arrangement. —
11 is a splendid exhibit worthy of the
Centennial Exhioitiou worthy of the
great house it represents and especially
fortunate in its representative, Mr. Bell
who ably suitains the credit aud honor
of the mi of fiCrosse and Blackwell. A
little to the left after running the
gauntlet of bottles kegs and demijohns
we come to a line exhibit of varied in
dustrios from Japan and here let me say
that two Nations loom up in this Exhi
bition in a manner that will give them
a sta'us before the world they never
occupied before and of which we never
deemed them capable.
The countries I particularly speak of!
arc Brazil and Japan. Both of these
empires have covered themselves with
glory. What astonishes you most is!
magnitude and splendor of their con- j
tributions. Japan particularly excels ;
in the ornamental arts and in the ibili- !
ty of turni; g the simples things into
articles of utility and taste. The Japo/
uese have never used leather for shoes
and yet some of the finest tanning I
have ever seen is to he f nnd in their
exhibition in Agricultural Halt. The
i Lather is soft as silk and tough as iron
| All kinds of skins ore f anned ; not on -
j ly the skins of animals, but the skins of
! fishes —the sharks in particular furnish
ing a material which I imagine would
be exceedingly wnolesome for bath
glovcs. I refer to those which bathers
use to scrub themselves with. I will
promise an one who will try the ex
periment a lively sensation. I tried it,
by way of experiment, on the end of my
nose and removed enough of the bark
in half a second, to make it look like s
ripo strawberry. I can imagine a bath
er using a pair of those gfoves in a
manner that might make a rocking
chair uncomfortable for two weeks at
least.
“Great people, these -Japanese l” I
mentally exclaimed, as I thought of it,
then fell to admiring the dainty little
thing made of bamboo, vvhcli is the all
in all to the Japanese and Chinaman.
“Wonderful bamboo !" I said to myself.
It covers his head and his feet ; it fur*,
nishes his house, and it supplies every
thing it. He weaves the fibre int
cloths; it gives him the finest and silk
iest of paper ; the chopsticks he eats
with are made of it; the coffin he finally
reposes in is composed of it, and bis
spirit is wafted off to glory by burning
little sticks of it; and if he was to be
cremated, undoubtedly bamboo would
be the material in which he invested his
final urnings. Delicate little baskets —
things that look very much like plates
jhairs, sofas, divans, hats, walking-’
stick and a multitude of useful things,
are composed of it. In the preservation
of meats and fish Japan does not appear
to be quite as successful as the people
of Cincinnati or Gape Cod. They have
some dried codfish there. I do not
know whether codfish thus preserved
can be considered .very healthy food.
One thing certain, it is exceedingly
strong food. I would quietly remark
to my country friends, when you go toz
examine Japanese dried fish and meats,
take along a bottle of cologne, and if
you are naturally inclined to intemper 4 -
anee, I would suggest that a little whis
ky might not be out of plaee—of course
under medical advice. Next comes
Holland—square and solid as a Dutch
galliot. Now, I confess I like the Dutch,
but if you examine their exhibits here,
a man would be inclined think that the
defendants of William the Silent and
the great Von Tromp had devoted the
entire national energy to the business of
drinking and smoking. Drink, drinks
diinks, schnapps, shnapps, schnapps,
kirshwasser, dinglewain, obenflots and
tobacco—all the figures represented on
their labels are men with bellies like
bass drums, and all of them holding
mugs of beer or bottles of gin. Two
figures are at the entrance to her exhi
bition—a man and a woman. The man
sits astride a barrel of gin, and the wo
man has a big mug of beer; in fact
it wouldseem as if drinking beer and
gin was the exclusive business of Hol
land.
A step further on and wo aro within
the exhibits of Brazil. Y"ou will recol
lect that in my last two letters I spoke
of the beauty of the Braziilian exhibits
in the Main Hall; but all she has there
—and she has much—fades into insig
ntficance olonside of her agricultural ex
hibition. Nothing within the grounds
will at all compare with it, if we except
Great Britain and her colonies. Such
stores of national wealth, I feel juftified
in saying, were never exhibited by a
single nation since tiro world began. I
will just mention a lew of the staples
she has cn exhibition, and will include
in them some articles she has in other
departments,.just for the sakß of group
ing them together, that you may under
stand the sources of her wealth. She
has gold, silver, diamonds, cotton,cßffee,
sugar, dyewoeds, medicinal roots, to
bacco, cocoa, silk, flax, jute, and other
textiles, fruits innumerable, wines of
many qualities, wheat, ornamental woods
of various kinds and of wondrous beau' 1
ty ; in fact, as y<m go through the nir
merous aisles, you feel that, with all her
varied and abundant blessings, the Bra
zilians ought to be, and doubtless are, a
prosperous and happy people.
During the week we have been favor
ed wiih the presence of many of the
greatest generals of the late war. Gens.
Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock, and a
host of others. The accasion of their
coming being the reunion of the armies
of the James and the Potomac, and also
of the cavalry corps. A grand ball
wound up the festivities, which was
very largely attended by the elite of the
city.
Fifty thousand dollars was voted by
the Council of the city of Philadelphia
to enable the Mayor to receive distin
guished guests from abroad—in ether
words to give them a blow-out. I was
anxious to see the thing go. I will not
state my reason therefor, but just in the
nick of tiu e some miserable, parsimo
nicus wretch served an injungaion on
his honor, and this got his honorable
back up, and now he swears he won’t
touch a penny of it, e 9 i*if they were
to shove it into his pocket, and he says
they may injunct and be blessed 1
am dirappointed, sadly disappointed.
The row has at last culminated be
tween the Centennial Commission aud
the Board of Finance, and the financiers
have called to their aid some of the first
legal talent in the land. Their lawyers
have decided that the United States
Centennial Commission have nothing to
do with ti e funds. That General Haw-
ley’s ten thousand dollar salary is a myth
and that the host oT Commissioners from
the various States, who swooped down
on the Centennial treasury “like a wolf
on the fold," are not entitled to enough
to pay their whisky bills, much less to
roast chicken and eight dollars a day.
How some of them will get back home,
tnerqy only knows. Here is a chance
for the charitably inclined. Send in
your subscriptions,gents, l’Jl take charge
of them.
The weather has been fine, and the
attendance exceedingly good, and as
the exhibits in the various department
are almost comple, I exclaim with Fit a*
james, “Come one, come all."

THE HEW FAMILY
SINGER
Sewing Machine.
WITH ATTACHMENTS
For All Kinds of Work.
is fist winning favor in the household, a
shown by the rapidly increasing sales
This New Family Machine is cap:
ble ot a range and variety of work such
was once thought impossible to perform In
machinery. We claim and cam show that
u 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 for the range and variety of its sew
ing, but also for the variety and different
fcinds of texture whien it will sew with
equal facility and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse,
making the inter-elastie 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
wearying instrument 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 he popular and
practical machines for manufacturing pur
poses, some dealers, using ‘-the tricks of
trade,” take 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 machine 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 sale3 for
1874 show that, our sales for that year
amounted to 211,697 machines, being a
large 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 148,852

Three Times Those of any other Com
pany.
It may be further stated that the sales of
1873, as compared with the sain of 1872,
show a relatively large increase, beyond
the sales of other makers. For instance,
in 1872 we sold 45(000 m me 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 Machines More Titan
An Oilier Company.
OFFICIAL HE PORT.
The following is a correct report of the
tales of sewing machines made by the load
ing companies during the past four years.
A careful examination of the figures will
show that, the “SINGER” have largely in
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 lias its re
ward.”
