SHADE.
[From our Regular Correspondent.!
Philadelphia, July 29,1876.
A week or two ago I started on art
subjects with all the glory of inspira
tion. My soul was filled with the grandeur
of my theme. Painters and sculptors
were my daily companions. Baracag*
lia, whose wonderful chisel had created
the Flight of Time, had shaken me by
the hand. And Corrona, the author of
Love’s First Message, had borrowed my
tobacco poach, and had honored mo by
taking a smoke. I had loaned, my
morning paper to Baraci, and had in
vited Calci to lunch and lager; in fact
I was getting along swimmingly. I was
rapidly arriving at that degree of non
chalance and artistic respectability
which marks the man of travel and ex
periened, when up goes the thermome*
ter to 105° in the shade, and knocks
me higher than a, kite. My coUar wilts
my cuffs begin to crawl up toward my
elbows, unseemly shadings make the
back of my linen duster look like a map
of undiscovered Africa, while the big
patch between my shoulders might stand
for the Albert Yanze, and the long line
of perspivation down the middle, marks
the course of the Nile from the cutlet
of the lake to the Delta. It is well un
derstood by scientists, that there is a
point where the thermometer fails,when
even the sensitive quicksilver loses its
power and becomes like a ball of stone;
it is even so with brain ; no brain can
act in this dreadful fiery heat; every
energy sink down exhausted and over**
powered before the terrible vigor of the
sun, the like of which has not been seen
for more than fifty years. Uunder these
circumstances I thought I would do
some skirmishing in open air instead of
keeping in the buildings which were
very much like ovens.
The Centennial Grounds teem with
objects which would make the place in
teresting if aH the main buildings were
removed. Passing down the avenue
that leads from Horticultural Hall, a lit
tle beyone the Government Building,
you come to the Turkish Bazaar. The
building is octagon in shape, and as a
specimen brick of the Turkish bazaar
may he considered a miserable failure.
Around the edge are seats called by
courlesy divans, on which lazy fellows
who have nothing else to do 101 l and
smoke, looking all the time as though
they dide’t enjoy it a bit; occasionally
sipping a very dirty, muddy coffee,froin
very little cups, and not unfrequently
you can see some young gentleman from
the country, who wanted to tell the boys
when he got home that he had seen it
all, rushing out behind the tent to re
lieve nis stomach after enjoying the
luxury of a Turkish smoke. ’Che Turks
we have here are dirty, baggy, worth
less fellows, and if these are fair samples
of their brothers on the Bosphorus, the
sooner the Servians wipe them out the
better. Close at hand are some little
booths, where are sold olive wood relics
from Jerusalem and ihe Mount of 01*
ives; they are cut iu little crucifixes
and rosaries, and all sorts of amulets
which aro eagerly gobbled up by the
centennial visitors, because they come
from the Holy Land, and aro retailed
by genuiue Turks. I have no desire to
shake anyone’s confidence in the authen,
ticity of the relics they have bought, but
I am willing to make affidivit that ore
of the Turks and in fact one of the most
active, has kept a clothing store on
Market street for several years past;
he attends the synagogue every Sunday
and looks upon pork shops with abhor
rence; however, I must confess that
nrhen ho gets on has little cap and his
loose, baggy breeches,he makes a pretty
good Turk. Across a few steps from
tne Turkish bazaar is the Tunisian Cafe
and if you will accept my assurarce for
it, it is an exceedingly big name for a
very small affair. This, like the Turk
ish bazaar, is an octagon building, and
v r a nented in the most barbarous taste;
on a raised platform on one side sit three
as miserable looking vagabonds as you
would desire to see; lean, thin, hungry
looking fellows. One plays on a sort of
a fiddle, and the other beats a drum,
and the third raises the devil generally on
a pair of cracked symbols. Now I am
a lover of music, 1 took to it naturally;
in my childhood my earliest musical in
vestment was for a jews*harp, and this
was supplr Jiented by a druai, till most
of the neighbors was struck with the
extent of my musical acquirements;
1 oot-jacks, tin pans, and old glass hot*
1 s frequently rewarded my musical ef
f rts. I merely mention this to show
that I know somethirgs about music,
and 1 tell you, of all the vile abomina*
tions in the way of sound 1 ever heard,
this Tunisian music is the worst. I fly
for relief from it to the gigantic fog.
horn ? whose terrible brag brings up the
livliest apprehensions of Gabriel; the
filing*of a saw would be positive harmo
ny alongside of it, and a Chinese goug
would sound like Orpheus lyre.
When I tell you that the horror of
their instrumental was supplemented by
the villainy ot their singing, in which
the chief element was the barbarous dis
cord ; you may judge that any place
would be a aelief from such torture, so
I fled like dogs fly from butchers in
CbiDa, and passing over to Agricultur-
4 ‘ Truth Conquers All Things/’
alHall in search of a cool pkceat last;
I struck it. In the north wing 1 dis
covered o quaint old wind mill, just such
a one as Don Quixote might have
charged in behalf of the fair Dulcena.
The giant arms were flying around and
down I sat upon the ground to enjoy
the luxury of the breeze they created ;
meantime laughing at the poor wretches
who were sweltering under a heat that
registered 105° in The shade. I inquir
ed the name of this benefactor of man
kind, and found it was Mr. Hecker of,
of New York, the inventor of Hecker’s
Fariua, and Hecker’s Self-raising Flour.
Not satisfied with raising the wind on
a hot day, he had opened a sort of pub
lie reflectors, where cakes, puddings,
blanc manges, and all sort of delicacies
were dispensed gratis to teh hungry mil
lion. The name sounded familiar like
something I bad seen or heard before,
and on reflection I remembered that
riding on the top of a stage through the
Rocky Mountain, away up amorg the
peaks, near the line where the snow
never melts, I saw on the rocks on one
side, S. T. 1860, and on the other Heck
er’s Farina and Self-raising Flour, and
now here at the World’s Exhibition I
renew my acquaintance, and am indebt
ed to the wings of his old mill for a gen
tle fanning with the thermometer at
105. A joke has just got out which
has kept Philadelphia on a broad g~io
for the last week. A Frenchman
nected with one of the great champagne
vineyards of France, took occasion at a
public at one of our prin*
cipal hotels, that there was not a bottle
of wine made in America fit for a gen
tleman to drink. An American gentle
man sitting by asked him if he consid
ered himself as judge; he assured him
that he did. The stranger then offered
to bet him a thousand dollars he could
not tell without looking at the labels,
the different brands of established
champagnes. The Frenchman immedi
ately accepted the bet, depositing one
thousand dollars, and agreed moreover
to be blindfolded during the trial.
The American was to furnish the
wine, and the loser was to pay for it:
it was further understood that a gener
ous supper was to wind up the festivi
ties of the evening. All being prepar
ed, a large party of friends were assem°
bled at a crack restaurant on Chestnut
Street, and the trial began. Cork No.

got a smell of it he knew it was Mumm.

C. No. 3,and Charles Heids'ck was
named without hesitation. C. No. 4,
and Yerxenay appeared likfc an old
friend. Bets rai. high on the French
man.; all the people were eagers takers;
the triJ over the bot ties were examin
ed and every bottle was found to
come from the cellars of the Pleasant
Valley Wine Cos., ot'Hammonsport New
York. The same company that re
ceived medals at Vienna and Paris
for the superior excellence of their
wine. The Frenchman was furious and
it was only by the interferance of ftiends
that he was prevented from working
vengeance on the crowd of hi3 tormen
tors on the spot; a duel is talked about
between the principals in the affair, so
I expect next week to hear of pistols
aud coffee supplemented by a coaoner’s
inquest.
After four dreadful uays of insuffer
able heat Thursday nigliv we were
blessed by a storm that raged for an
hour or two with fury of a hurricane;
the lightning never stopped its lurid
glare for a moment aid peal after peal
of thunder crashed about our heads
with the rear of a thousand cannons ;
the result was, however, that Friday
was one of the most delightful days of
the season.
The attendance is light. No returns are
given from the turnstyles. Sunstrokes
have been numerous, but the medical
department refused to give any inform
aticn of the number. The Cincinnati
Light Guard has arrived after its very
foolish and wearisome march of 800
miles under a torrid sun ; they have
beeu the past two months on the road ;
seven men have sunk exhausted by the
wayside, and all the rest look worn and
haggard. Next week if the weather is

Give the South all the money she
needs. We trust that the proper desire
for ccnemy now shown by Congress will
will not intei fere with the appr. pria

giving the South all the money the peo
ple need. Let us give money to im*-
prove navigation, open harbors, build
public buildings. Let us do what we
can to stimulate special Southern indus
tries—cotton, tobacco, rice aud 3ugar.
Let us, if it is in the power of Congress,
make that rich and beautiful land to
blossom with new life. In dealing with
the South let us always remember the
hard conditions of the war—the money
we took when we freed the slaves, when
we compelled the repudiation of her

aid.
The Macon Telegraph and Messen
ger adds :
We value the generosity of sentiment
indicated in the foregoing far above the
influence it is likely to exert on the
Federal policy. The South never ask
ed, and certainly never received, much
money from the United States Treasu
ry to be expended in improvements,and
certa uly is not likely in the future, as
a minority and unpopular section of
country, to receive increased attention
in this particular.
But it is nevertheless true that the
vast extent and wild and unimproved
character of her tenitory seem morp
urgently to demand it th-n more favor
ed sections, aand no doubt the material
evidence of care and beneficence by the
Geueral Government would have a good
< fleet on the people. Up to the out
break of the war a veiy large portion
of the Southern voters never saw any
other material evidence of the existence
and resources of the Federal Govern
ment than were afforded by the flag
and the post office ; and since that time
has only known it by it a inflictions.
There can be no question that a little
substantial evidence of i's good will
would not be misapplied.
She Wanted to go.
Wc have hud another instance of
woman’s subtlety and lemarkablc iuge„
niousness. She is a Nevada woman,
and she wanted to go the opera house
the other night to such a degree that it
became the chief yearning of her soul,
and her beau was so eve’ lasting obtuse
of brain that he couldn’t take a hint un
less it was the size of a haystack. When
he came around to see her on Saturday
night she was tired, and she told him
so, soon further convincing him of the
fact by going to sleep on his shoulder.
She didn’t snore, but pretty soon she
began to murmur softly iu her slum
bers.
“Opera bouse,” she faintly sighed.
“Ump,” querried Joe.
“Wautyto-go-to-opera house,” came
in a dulcet whisper.
“Eh! what’s that?” demanded Joe,
raising her head up gently by the back
hair.
“What’s the matter, Joe?” and the
guileless darling rubbed her eyes weari
ly. “Why I was asleep, wasn't I?”
“I guess you was. Do you talk in
your sleep as a general thing?”
•‘Oh ; yes; sometimes, when I’m
worried about syiything.”
“Well, you sh mt bo worried about
anything if I can help it. Lets go to
the opera house for the first thing that
comes along.”
“Thank you, Joe ; I don’t eare if I
do. You are an old darling ”
And the little fraud paid him his
thoughtfulness in u legal tender that
sounded like two shingles slapped to
gether.
Grant Furious.
The utter breakdown of the third
term schemeiand the indirect rebuke to
it which Hayes’ conscience keepers ini
serted in his letter of acceptance, have
contributed, with other stimulating
causes, to make Grant violent in his
language and acts. He has not pretend
ed to conceal or to temper his wrath, as
he did while he was a candidate for re
election. and was intriguing to bring
about his third nomination. Restraints
which then compelled prudence are now
broken, and he feels free to have his
own way, and the more so for having
been curbed by reason of state and
party policy, until the bondage became
unendurable. Of course he feds keenly
the criticism which is made indirectly
in Hayes’ letter. Because if the civii
service reform is so urgent as is alleged,
it necessarily follows that the object is
to correct abuses of Grant’s administra
tion. At least that is his construction
of the language.
The recent clearing out of the officials
who were most trusted in the Treasury,
and who did nost to redeem it from
disgrace, is the result of this explosion
of anger at what Grant calls bad treat--
meDt by the party. He claims to have
saved it from certain defeat in 18G8
and 1872: and therefore he was entitled
to a third term. More than that, he
complains that after having yie’dei his
patronage, and often his policy, to the
Senate and House of Representatives,
he was not sustained as he should have
been by those who owed him gratitude
and devotion.
At all events, Grant is resolved to be
absolute master for a time, and to turn
the public service upside down, in order
to gratify his personal resentments, and
to reward hi3 trusted adherents. He is
at last seen iu his true character. All
along he has been wearing a mask and
playing a part. At no time was he ever
in earnest about the prosecution of the
Whisky Ring, Post Office Ring,, and
other thieving combinations. All his
sympathy, friendship, and good w ill was
for McDonald aud his confederates,
when he wrote Let no guilty man es
cape;” and he never expected that Mr.*

Bristow would carry ihe war to the ex
tremity he did, and cap the climax by
haviug Babcock indicted. Whpn ho
came to see how his words h*-.d be'eit’
turned to account, his fury could hardly
be checked, and then began the revul

“never cooled until fie and the prosecu*

restored to favor.
This fever will subside gradually,
and Graut, after the heated term is over,
will fall into lire like a regular and for'

son, who are his special chums in the
Cabinet, will win him over to their plans,
and bring about an understanding with'
Hayes, by which every concession wilj*
be made and the best relations secured.
Grant is cunning. It is liis strong point.
He may have gotten up all this flurry
before ihe public, in order to dictate
terms to the Republican candidate, after
having first gratified his own feelings of*
revenge.— -Xett York Sutt:

Trutii. —How beautiful is truth 1
In this world where is so much falseh od
and deceit, whereby hearts are estrang
ed and recriminations, assaults and
crimes engendered—how beautiful aro
the true thought, word and deed. Like
the sun smiling out amid the angry
storm like the briirht stars shining
through the heavy night cloud like
friend clasping the hand of friend
like right rebutting wrong—l : ke th*
lance of virtue ringing on the shield of
vice—like heaven upon earth, and God
in man, is Truth ! Precious and price.,
less. Dearer than the smiles of friend,
love of pareut, or pomp of fame. Truth
is all. By this we know the nature
and value of things. Falsehood is a 1
craven, a dastaid. Truth is bold, noble
and God-giving beyond every attribute
of the soul.
