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." Broadbrim.

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 machines, nearly 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.” Sewing Machine Sales for 1874. Machines sold.
