[From our Regular Correspondent. 1
Philadelphia, July 7, 1876.
At last the long • expected has
come and gone, and we l ave reached
our hundred years ; nothing has oc
curred in the least to mar the general
harmony of the occasion. Our mother
land, forgetful of the strife and bitter
ness of past conflicts, send one of the
fuicmost gentlemen of England to do
us honor. Germany, unmindful that
we arc annually depriving her of mil
lions of her choicest sons and daughters
flashes her greeting across the sea, and
bids us a nearly God-spued. Our old
time cousin and friend, Canada, loving
as she does, her institutions and her
Queen nevertheless, through her Press
Association, —representing no less the
patriotism than the intelligence of the
New Dominion, —joins in cheers for the
you g republic and hoorajs :’ur Yankee
Doodle It is especially gratifying
that th’s should be so and that nations
representing even the despotisms of the
world rejoice in success
AV heu I closed my last letter, it was
on the eve of the 3d of July. The whole
city was in a state of breathless expeo
tation for the night parade which was
to precede the ceremonies of the fourth.
Towards evening on the 3d the popula
tion residing in the upper portions uf
the city and its environs turned their
faces towards the scene of the proces
sion, Street cars were crowded, horses
struggling for life, conductors sweat ing
men quarrelling, women screaming, till
it really seemed as it the utmost limit
af human patience had been reachi. d.—
Wagons and carriages, of all characters
and styles, festooned with flowers r.nd
decked with gay ribbons constantly flit
ted by. Arriving at the junction of
of Broad and Chestnut streets, the scene
defied d<. scrij. lion ; a strubbling mass
of humanity clicked every street; po
licemen struggled with fate and the
crowd,notwithstanding the locust and
the majesty of the. law, fate and the
croffd generally got the upper hands.—
By 9 o’clock the Hue of the route was
all ablaze with various colored lights,
rockets filled the air by the thousand,
Old Giory-.illuminated by C c red glare
of innumerable port-fires—streamed
out upon the night like a star of hope
to the short shouting thousands, who
for the time being, were forgetful of
everything hut the approaching com
pletion of the nation’s hundred years.—
in my brief space I cannot attempt to
describe the procession and more than
to sav it was a grand success ; and as
the new clock on the old Independence
tower announced the hour of twelve,
which sounded Ukc the requiem of the
depaited century, the street in front of
.lm had, and f**>i* many blocks either
way was illuminated with ablaze of glo
ry : caution thunder, steam whistles
screamed, people shouted, drums boat,
small arms rattled, till it really seemed
as if the roof was gone up or the bot
tom was dropped out,or something dred
ful had happened til 1 , finally, complete
ly exhausted with their own noise, the
ceased and peace reigned once more.—
Sleep laid his leaden mace upon the
eyelids of weary thousands, and for two
or three hours there was comparative
calm. With the first streaks of the
coming day, howevor, was heaid the
low roar of a great city waking into ac
tive. busy life.
The street Arabs, whose liberty is re
stricted through all the rest of the year,
set off all sorts of pyroteonic abomina
tions, and discharge! rusty old pistols,
regardlesß*of the clubs of impotent po*.
licemen, or the badges of embryo detccs
tives. It was, indeed, a glorious day of
liberty, to indulge in cheek and impu
dences ihat ordinarily overtake these in*
fractions of the code civile. The fourth
was ushered in with the usual national
salute and ringing of bells The morn
was one of the loveUcstof the year : the
air was balmy, cool and bracing,—just
such a day as every one wished to see.
At nine o’clock there was not standing
room on Chestnut street: a dense mass
of people filled every available space
along the entire route. Crack regi
ments from every portion of the Union
participated in the military display,
'fhe President of the United States was
absent; but Generals Sherman ad Sher
idan, his famed lieutenants, honored the
occasion, and the Vice-President of the
United States ably presided in the ab
sence of his chief. A space about Inde
pendence Hall was roped off atip guard
ed by a cordon of police, and no one un
provided with a pasz was allowed with .
in the charmed circle. I will not in
flict upon my readers the ceremonies.
Suffice to say there was a poem by Ray
aid Taylor, which would be delightful
reading when one has plenty of time,
under the cool shade of an umbrageous
tree, with a cooling lemonade at your
elbow, but a sore tria' of patriotism un
der a broiling sun, with the thermome
ter at 120°. Then came an oration by
the Hon* Wm. M. Everts, filling five
mortal columns of the Ledger. Even
patriotism has a limit, and I inwardly
resolved that if I attended the uext cen
tennial I would bring a hammock and a
slight lunch, so that I could get rest
and refreshments bet ween the nets. The
great Exhibition was comparatively do
at; V ted during ihcalkrnoJU of the fourth.
‘Truth Conquers Alt Things.”
The halls looked empty and silent,
which, of course, was a gicat dis appoint
ment to the Centennial Managers, who
expected to take in sixty or seventy
thousand dollars, at least,on that day.
Toward the afternoon matters brighten
ed a little, and people began to come in
who had been to the celebration down
totrn. At two o’clock the Catholic T.
A. B. made its appearance at the gate,
several thousand thronged to aisist in
the dedication of th-e T. A. B. fountain:
and right at this point one of the most
stupid things was done that I ever heard
of on any public occasion. As the
cession entered, the police seized every
door facinu Memorial IJall, and with
their bludgeons prevented anybody
from going in and out for nearly an hour
and a half; they were as-much prison
ers as if they had been in the station
hause,and it was not till the last T. A.
B. had passed that anybody was allowed
to go out.
By another stupid arrangement, the
fireworks at Fairmouut Park were not
set ofi till long after dark, though it
must have been evident to the managers
that a storm was impending, and they
were finally let off in a shower of rain,
when thousands wero drenched who
might have enjoyed the fireworks, and
have been snugly in their homes, if they
had been set off at the proper time.
However, the day p issed off, as a whole,
successfully and pleasantly, with fewer
accidents than might have been reason/,
ably expected. On the evening of the
fourth Dorn Pedro and the Empress at”
tended a reception at the mansion of
Mr Drexei, the great banker, at which
werealso present Sir Edward. Thornton,
the British Ambassador, and Generals
Sherman and Sheridan, Vice-President
Ferry, Gov. Ilartranft, and distinbuish
ed representatives of the Foreign Com
missions. The army of the Cumberland
has had its reunion this week, at which
touching resolutions were introduced to
the memory of the brave Custar,untime
ly death is so universally deplor’d.
It is with a feeling of in evpressible
relief that I turn from the. tumult of the
past week to find an hour of peace in
the noble Gallery of Arts. I feel that
this is the opportunity of my life, and,
once past, it will not come back again.
I pity ilie man oi woman who can look
upon this wonderful collection and not,
feel Uttered bv flic contact. There are
many stolid and innorant people who
come to this Exhibition, ana 1 have yet
to sec the first one from whom something
in the collection did wring out an urm
bidden cry of pleasure and surprise. I
have a higher opinion of my kind for
the last few weeks, —they are better
than l gave them credit for. The col
lection 1 ecame too collossal for one duild
ing,nnd a second one had to be put up,
larger in area than the first This an.
nex, as it is culled, is. full of priceless
gems of art. Near the south door is
the statue of a child listening to the
ticking of a watch, most delightful
conception, beautifulla worked out; and
not far from it, ouo of thosemarvellous
creations that wreath the sculptor’s brow
with undying immortality. It is the
Flight of Time, by Barzuglia/if Milan.
Time is flying past ; be clutches his
hour glass, and will not he stoped ; a
female has seized and endeavors to im
pede his flight, luthe pecdsrut,hlessly
on ; her fingers are buried in his flesh ;
the rush of the wind, as he toarsalong,
sweeps back her garments, that seem on
flutter in the wind. The plumag on
the wings of time, and the drapery on
t’ne female figure, are miriceles of art on
ly seen on in a life time.
Tell your readers not to forget the
splendid Italian mosaics,—rich land
scapes of the ruins of Rome, equal in
splendor of color and tin to the finest
pictures in the eollectiot. And beware
of French restaurant! all within the
grounds charge the most extortionate
prices So I warn all people coming to
the Exhibition, —if you sec a sign hav
ing anything French about it, givo it a
wide berth.

Take care of the pennies. Look well
to your spending’ No matter what
comes in, if more goes out you will al
ways be poor. The art is not in mak.,
ing money, but in keeping it. Lute ex
penses. like mice in a Darn, when they
are many make great waste. Ilair by
hair heads get bald; straw by straw the
thatch goes off the cottage, and drop by
drop the rain comes into the chamber.
A barrel is soon empty if the tap but
leaks a drop a minute. When you uieau
to save begin with your mouth; many
thieves pass down the red lane. The
jug is a great waste ; in ail oilier things
keep within compass. Never stretch
your legs further than your blankets will
reach or they will get ci Id. In clothes
choose suitable and lasting stuff, and
not tawdvay fineiies To be comforta-,
ble is the main thing, never mind the
looks. A fool may may money, but it
takes a wise man to spend it.. Remem
ber, it is easier to build two chimneys
than to keep one going. If ycu give all
to back and boaid there is nothing left
for the savings bank. Fare hard and
work hard when you arc young and you
will have a chance to rest when you get
old.

Ilaj'es is a candidate whose weakness
and unimportance are his principal re
commendations to the Republican party.
His record is brief and .-light,though he
is fifty-four years old. lie was an Ohio
lawyer, served for a time and the army,
was twice sent to Congress and thrice
elected Governor of llhio—beating Bill
Allen for the office last fall. In the
army he was a seivicoable effieers : in
coDgrcss-he was one of the obscurest
members; and in the governor’s office
he has performed such routine of duties
as was required of him in a way that ex

in congress or elsewhere has been ident

of any kind. He lias no marked powers
that have been brought into play ; lie

These points of Hayes’ eharrter, and
these features of his career, are inter
esting enough: bui they do not prove
him to be a lit man for President in
times when recommendation of a strong
er and more positive kind are required.
Above all, Hayes is no reformer. He
is not the man to clean out political
corruption, to destroy the desperate
Rings which have got hold of the coun
try, or to do anything'to obliterate the
abominations of Grant ism. He is a man
who, in the Presidency, would run the
machine in as easy and unobjectionable
a way as he could, but lie would run it
in the old rutt; and this is about the
worst thing that could be said of any
man who desire to become the success
or of Grant.—A". Y. Sun.
The man whose ambition is fo simply

Young man, if you have any doubts

There are lots of jokes that should be
lulled like some pictures should be—
“this is a tree, this is x cow.”
Counterfeits in many things have got
to be.so near perfect that it has really
become an evidence of poor judgement
not to be deceived by them.
If there is a man who’is really pcr>

It W( u.d be a good trade for any man

Courage that is merely constitutional
is just as apt to act wrong us any other

they know they are cheats, and seem to

A Family Pyramid.
The Louisville Commercial says a
party of colored individual took the
Southwestern railroad to visit home rel
atives near Laker’s Fort, Kentucky.
Cpon arriving at the depot, the afore
said party stepped out upon the platform
of the car p-eparatory to getting off the
train, which was passing the platform at
the depot.
The conductor, seeing the danger they
were in, hallowed to them not to jump
out.
The old negro said :
' l I isgwii eto get off here, wliFe aian:
you can’t fool ,me ; l is rid on these
here things before to-day,”
So saying he leaped from the car up
on the platform, and it being covered
with sleet, he skated off and fell upon
the ground below.
The old woman followed his illustri
ous example, and over she went on top
of the old man.
The girl, who weighed about throe
hundred pounds, followed her mother
and became the capping stone, so to
speak, of the perch,though if an artisan
had seen the pyramid lie would have
thought the base of it hud been turned
up.
% the next time the train stopped,
the old African presented himself at the
cod of the platform much Tatter in ap
pearance than when he made his exit.
The last we saw of him he was railing
at the top of Lis voice :
‘••last like a woman ! always wants to
visit in bad weather! An’ now I’sgot

In Advance.
Stunning in Debt.
I dwell on this point, for I would de
ter others fioui entering into that place
of* torment. Half the young men in this
country, wiili many old enough to kilow
better, would go into business —that is
into debt—to-morrow, if they could.
Most poor men are so ignorant as to en
vy the merchant or manufacture*,whose
life is an incessant struggle with pecu
niary difficulties, who is driven to con
stant “shinning,” and who, from month
to month, barely evades the insolvency
which sooner or later overtakes most
men in business ; so that it lias been
computed that but one man in twenty
achieve a pecuniary success. For my
own part I would rather be a ccn v ict in
the State prison, a slave in a ri.ee swamp
than to pass through life under the liar
row of debt. Let no young man tnis
ju’gc himself unfbitunatcly, or truly
poor so long as lie lias use of his limbs
and faculties, and is substantially free
from debt. Hunger, cold, rags, hard
work, contempt., are disagreeable, but
debt is infinitely worse than them all.
And if it had pleased God to spare ci
ther or nil my sons to be the support of
my declining years, the lesson which I
should most earnestly seek to impress
upon them is, “Never run in debt.”
Avoid pecuniary obligation* you as would
pestilence or famine. If you have but
cents and can get no more for a
week, buy a peek of corn, parch it, and
live on it rather than owe a dollar ! Of
course I know that some must do busi
ness that involves a risk, *ud must give
notes or other obligations, ar.u I do not
consider him in debt , who can lay his
hands directly on the means of paying,
at some little sacrifice. all he owes; I
speak of real debt—that which involves
risk or sacrifice on one side, obligation
and dependence on the ether —and I say
from all such, let every youth humbly
pray to God to preserve them cvxu more.

Street Scenes iu Papeete Taliiti.
There arc no such things as pavements,
sidewalks or gutters, and everybody
travels in the middle of the narrow
streets. You pass along and step aside,
now to avoid running into a crowd of
Kanakas holding a confabulation, row
to avoid stepping on an old native wo*
man who is squatting in thc'Sireet,intent
upon drying some t ffiaeco with a match
prepar tury to having a smojte. Fur
tiier on, at a corner, is a crowd of men
and women hovering around the stump
of a cigarette, which is successively
smoked and tossed around on the grouud
for iho next one to take up and have a
whiff at. On one side of the street a
Ci inaman, with nothing cy but a pair
of big logged breeches, leans against a
doorpost, gating into vacancy, ponder
ing on the wise sayings of Conficuis of
planning a five cent swindle, on the
other side a dufky yud sits, on a
rock playing a fragmentary noise on

Chiueio barber shop ; the customer on
the front porch sits bolt!- upright on a
stool with nothing to support him but
his thin back, while the 1 nk-jawed ar
tist plies the tort me. —O.n the- other
end of the porch there arc two or three
native women lounging, for John is
popular with the native Idles, not be
cause he is handsome,, but because he
makes an exemplary husband; for rot
only does he do his own aud thc-ir cook
ing, but he washes for them, too, and
leaves them, to cat, sleep and sm.okv in
undisturbed indolence. The next is a
a gscup of half-naked boy s tossing pen*
nies at a cork set up with one or more
coppers on it. This is a favorite amuse
ment, not only with boys, but with the
mustached Kauak >s. fu the Q.uai de
Commerce the scene is somewhat rn.re

Drays, trucks, express wagons, &c., are
unknown. On the verandas of the bus

on mats on the fieri., are busy making
calico shirts, dresses, of thiu stuffs, &c.
Beneath a spreading buran a crowd of
