Hunting around f r a cool spot— The Turkish Bazaar—The Tu nisian Cafe— Relics of the Ho* ly Land—Wood from Mount Ol ive—Hecker’s Old Mill—Cham pagne on Ice —Art, Science, Me chanics and Agriculture wilt ing UNDER A HEAT OF 10fi° IN THE 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. 1 flew, and the moment the Frenchman got a smell of it he knew it was Mumm. 0 No. 2 and be recognized Rho.erer. 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 cool I shall return to the Ait Gallery, till thea I am Yours truly, Broadbrim. The Amended Revenue Bill. As the Committee on Ways and Means will report their amendatory in ternal revenue bill to the lmuse to-day or tomorrow, we give its provisions as a matter of interest to the busiuess community. Among other things it is provided that the Commissioner of Internal Rev enue shall have charge of all real estate which shall e the property of the Government with power to sell or lease the same, with approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. Hereafter no special tax is to be held as accruing on a sale of distilled spirits wines or malt liquors, by a person who is not otherwise a dealer in liquors, where they have beeu received by the person so selling the same in payments ut a debt and where such spirits are sold in one parcel only; nor shail the special tax ot a wholesale liquor dealer or wholesale dealer iu malt liquors He held to apply to a retail dealer in li quors, in one parcel or in parcels em* bracing not less than his entire stock of distilled spirits, or wines,or of malt liq* uors. Sections 3,320 of tlie Revised Stat utes is not to be held as prohibiting a rectifier or liquor dealer from purchas ing iu quantities greater than twenty gallons the distilled spirits sold in one parcel The following in the present law is stricken out: Every cigar maker shall cause his name and residence to be registered, without previous demand with the col* lector of the district in which he shall be employed and every manufacturer employing any cigar maker who shall have neglected or refused to make such register shall be fined $5 for each day said cigar maker shall be employed by him. Scraps cuttings and strippings of to bacco imported from any foreign coun* try may after proper custom duty has been paid thereon be without the pre’ payment of the internal revenue tax, and transferred as material directly to to the factory of a manufacturer, under such regulations as may be imposed by the Treasury Department. The illegal relanding of any Manu* factured snuff, tobacco or cigars which have been shipped for expoitation is to be visited with a fine not exceeding $5,- 000 and impiisonmcnt for not more than three years. Manufacturers of cigarettes are re quired to put them up in parcels con taining 10, 20, 50 or 100, and to affix to each parcel the amount of stamp tax which stamp is to be cancelled prior to removal for consumption or use.— Instead of Phe requirement that boxes containing manufactured tobacco shall be branded with a heated iron they may bo stamped, indented, branded or im pressed in a legible and durable man ner. The bill makes no alteration whatev er in the taxes levied under the present law.— Nashville American, 20 th inst.

Pleasant Talk. 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 tion for the South. We are in favor of 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 debts, when we seized cotton, when we thcravaged Valley of Shenandoah, aud In 4d vance. marched through Georgia Arid whilo these were a 1 war measures—which we should do again under tne same necessi ty —let us remember what a burden it was to the conquered,and how it crush ed them to the earth. Whenever,then, we can give the South money in appro priation bills, in shaping revenue or fi nancial legislation, let us do so. We should be quite content if for the nest five years three-fourths of the money voted by Congress were to go into the Southern States alone. Whatever we do for economy let us give the South all the money she wants. — X. Y. Jlcr 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.* Kates of Advertising.

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 sion of feeling toward Bristow, which “never cooled until fie and the prosecu* tions were out of office aud the ring was' restored to favor.

Chandler and Robe 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.
