Dear Times: The more I contem
p'ate this Exhibition, the more it fills
me with admiration, as it unfolds itself
like a grand scroll upon whose won
drous pages are concentrated tho uni
versul wisdom and knowledge of tho
world. Art, science, philosophy, aes
thetics, mechanics, history, ail are rep
resented here ; no such opportunity for
education will occur again upon this
continent in the life of any living Amer
ican, and when I say education I mean
education in its broadest and grandest
sense. A man may read bookß for a
lifetime, and never be a scholar. He
may have the musty lore of a hundred
colleges stuffed into him, and have his
pockets crammed with parchments that
testify to his being an A. B , L. L. D.,
and A. S. S., and yet for all the practi
cal purposes of life he may go through
the world like a fool; but put art ordi
nary fool inside these centennial grounds
and you make a tolerably sensible man
of him in spite of himself. The ther
mometer at 75°, splendid days and glo
rious nights bringing back the elasticity
and vitality of youth, and furnishing
the critics of art with intellectual mus
cle to grapple with all the tough sub
jucts i” fito exciting arena of aesthetics.
I stand beneath the grand dome of the
Art Gallery once more, and running
the gauntlet of statuary and paintings.
I hasten to a little room on tbe north
side of the building which is filled with
priceless and inestimable treasures. —
Don’t rush in here as though you were
goiug into a barn-yard, but step rever„
endly and softly; yes, and remove the
sandals from your feet for the ground is
almost holy you tread upon. If it be
possible that tbe association of sacred
relics can sanctify tbe dust whereon we
stand, then is this place holy. This is
the collection of ancient gems, and rel Q
ics by Costillana, of Italy. Grand in
past association, rich in historic lore ;
nothing before you is modern,everything
is covered with the mould, the dust and
grime of countless centuries; the re>
cord ends five hundred years alVer the
birth of Christ, but its beginning runs
back into the very twilight of time.
Here are rude stone rings and pre
cious amulets, that might have been
Corn by mighty chieftains ere Tubal
wain fashioned his first ornaments of
brass. llow many ages since these im
perial signets carried the weight of the
kings name to invading armies, respited
or destroyed the conquered legions of
the enemy, and bore throughout their
vast empires life and death to millions,
Here they are, Assyrian, Persian.
Egyptiau, Greek and lloman ; yes, and
relics of nations w hose very names* arc
lost, and of whom history contains no
authentic record,
Marvellous indeed, is tbe skill exhib
ited in some of the precious gems
carved into stone which will endure as
long as time shall last. Many of the
faces are Assyrian, some are Per
sian, soire are Egyptian, bnt by far the
greater part are Greek and lloman.—
Many of the stones are cornelian, a few
are agate, some are onyx, but all are
marvels of art, There arc human fig
ures the eighth of an inch long, cut in
the hardest cornelian, and yet with an
anatomy as perfect as if sculptured by
the cliiael of Phidius; animal life is
there in all its phases, wonderful in dc*
sign, miraculous in execution. The
historic value of this gallery of faces
can be scarcely estimated. The list of
Roman emperors is nearly perfect, and
encased in a rim of gold is the head of
Julius, the veritable Caosar who crossed
the Rubicon, and who fell by the assas
sin’s knife at tho fuot of Pompey’s stat
ue. Here are golden charmf and brace
lets that perchance Oalj huroia might
have worn wheD she wound her arms
fer the last time around her Cmsar’s
neck just as he was departing to the
eapiloi to his death, end near it in an
other case is a necklace of precious
stones that might have encircled the
voluptuous neck of Cleopatra, while
she reposed in the arms of the beloved
Anthony. All the detail of th-ir hid
den life has been dragged-from out the
earth, and into the light of day after
the sleep of centuries, and now we ibok
with cut ious eyes into the little puff-kox
from which Queen Sheba might have
whitened her dusty cheeks to make lur
look nit re lovely iu tbe eyes of the greit
Jewish king.
Gold, silver, brass, copper, and stone
compose this magnificent collection ;
would I could give it fifty pages instead
of the brief notice which my space
compels, but let me impress upon those
that visit tbe Centennial not to forget
the collection of Castilla na.
Tho German department is exceed
ingly rich in exquisite treasures of art*
Dusseldorf has had an overpowering in
fluence over the artists of Germany for
tbe last.quarter of a century, and the
result is a fineness of finish arid la! ?ri
ousncss of detail which leaves nothing
to be desired Strolling, along the gal
lery. my attention was arrested by a
picture by Constant Meyer ; the subject
is The Gossips; a lot of village girls
b.ave gone together in the street, and
are regaling each other With the news.
The grouping is admirable, and I need
onL to say in regard to its artistic tucr*
Truth Conquers Ail Things.”
it> that in a gallery of art such as we
have seldom had the privilege of see>
ing; it has been awarded the principal
premium.
Early trials by Boser is a work of un°
common beauty, it is very simple, very
quiet, but of rare artistic excellence. —
P. is only the head of a female, nothing
more ; and yet few pictures in this vast
collection are more worthy of consider
ation ; a deep Rembrandt shade rests
upon tbe face, which is sad beyond ex
pression, but where the sunlight strikes
the hair, you catch a glimpse of the ge
nius which makes tbe canvass of the
painter immortal. Look well into the
face and see the shadows break.away,
the which you scarcely noticed at
first are looking into your own with an
expression Painfully human; if you
look at it more intently, the lips seem to
move, and the only wouder is that it
does not start from the and
speak. The first Crime by Jean Ferre
Alexander deserves more than a passing
notice, rich in color and general eliect,
it bears the stamp of rare artistic worth.
The scene is a Gypsy camp, and a young
boy, apparently about twelve years old,
has returned with his first plunder; be
has not escaped without a struggle, for
the blood is streaming from his face and
arms, his teeth are clenched, and the
whole expression of his face just such
as you might expect from one whose
legitimate end was the gallows.
Un the north slue of the west wing
as you enter the door in the British
collection, hangs a portrait that inter
ested me beyond expression, it was a
likeness of Hannah More, from the
easel of Sir John Opie ; around it hang
many priceless pictures from the galler
ies of the Royal Academy, and yet this
simple and unpretending canva=s
ed Up mo more priceless than them all,
There is something glorious in a noble
life, a life that stands as a model fi r all
time, and when \ime has past away, that
stands as a model for eternity, and such
a life wus the life of Hannah More, not
without care, not without sorrow, not
without suffering, untold, yet chastened
and beautified by the chastisement, till
it became as to the life of the angels as
the Almighty nas ever permitted to the
sons and daughters of men. There is
an inexpressible sweetness in every line
of that noble face, it is in no sense what
the world calls beautiful, but looking
into those glorious eyes from which the
very reflex of the soul shines out. I
ielt that there was a woman to trust in
life or death. Near it hangs a picture
bv Turner, and if there is one thing
that makes me more grateful to Turnc*
than another, it is the fact that when
he bequeathed his pictures to the Royal
Academy, it was on condition thataepe
cial room should be set apart for them.
This, lam delighted to know, w r as done,
and when I visit the Royal Academy,
I shall certainly give that room the go
by ; Ruskin to the contrary, notwith
standing. I know the travelers club will
exclaim booby, that the coniseures will
vote me an ignoramu?, and the out crit
ics write me down aa ass, I can’t help
it, I don’t like Turner. And now for a
little bit of romance. About five weeks
ago, a young man applied for a position
as one of the rolling chair conductors.
He was dark complexioned, very hand
some, with a longaend flowing mustache,
his manners were easy and graceful, he
spoke several languages with the fluency
of a native, and it was not long till his
chair was in constant demand. As he
wheeled his fair loads along, he descan
ted on passing objects with the eye of a
connoiseure, and the acumen of a critic.
Things went o.i smoothly for several
weeks, the only thing peculiarly notice
able in the roliiug chairman being that
he invariably refused the gratuities ofis
fered him by grateful patrons. One
day last week, a young Russian princess
had a chair called into the main hall,
and not deigning to cast a look on the
humble chairman, she stepped into the
seat. The chair rolled on till it reach
ed the Russian department, near the
grand exhibition of Malakite, when the
Princess leaned forward to examine a
beautiful work-box ; the veil dropped
off which had partially concealed her
features. The chairman started forward
and uttered a cry which brought the
princess to her feet. She in turn gave
a scream, recognizing, it is said, a long
lost lover who bad been banished to Si
beria several years ago and had escaped.
All the parties have disappeared, the
Russian commission refuse to speak of.
it, even the people about the Malekite
exhibit dedy that it occurred, and it is
whispered that the chairman was a no
bleman of high rank, who was connect
ed with one of tbe royal princes iu steal
ing some government jewels. Cool
weather lias brought the receipts up
agaiu. A reduction has just been made
which admits schools and teachers at
twenty five ceuts. and this with tbe vis
its of military comprnies and organized
bodies, make things look n ore prosper
ous than they have been fbr the last
three weeks. 'Yours truly,
Broadbrim.
The eld man was sitting under a
3iale tree softly humming, “ tuero’li

ing and familiar voice hissed in his

Sagacity of Elephants iu a Storm.
Howe’s circus was showing at Indian*
ola when the storm of the Fourth came
on, and because of injury to the rail*
roads was compelled to remain there
untii the track was temporarily repair
ed, Friday evening. Then the ciicas
started for their next place of exhibi
tion. WhtD about eight miles out oue
corner oi a bridge gave way, and three
cars containing auimals ran off the
track and turned over into the mud,
very gently. The first car contained
horses, the second an elk and camel:
the other three the five elephants*
The small animals were easily liberated,
but the elephants were all in a heap.—
To remove them the car was cut away,
exposing the tops of the unwieldy ani*
mat s basks. Then was exhibited the
intelligence which marks these half hu
man brutes. They obeyed every com
mand of the keeper, crawling on their
knees, turning on their sides, squirming
like ee’s, and assuming more wonderful
and novel positions than were described
on the show bills. When released from
their peiilou3 position there was not a
scratch upon them, and no school-boy
ever gave more emphatic expression of
relief from confinement than did those
elephants. They trumpeted, swayed
back and forth, and did everything but
talk. The remaining distance to the
city was made oveiland, and a happier
crew never started on a march than
were those animals. The cool, breezy
atmosphere and the bright moonlight
wore all-inspiring. As the bridges
were gone, at each stream tho elephants
took fresh enjoyment of their liberty.
At no time were they obstin Re or diso
bedient, but seem to fully realize the
situation. On arriving at Dos Moines
railway cars had to be procured, which
was not easily done, as ordioa-y cui*3
are too low. Some were finally found
which were about one inch higbei th u
the tallest elephant’s back. They were
brought alongside and tbe platform
properly placed when Jack noticed that
it was strange car’ seized the door-frame
witli liis trunk, gave it a vigorous shake
and then tried the floor. Satisfied that
it was strong he marched slowly in the
car, placed himself lengthwise, gave a
.ocking mqjion aud humped h:s back.
A bolt overhead hit his back, and he
marched straight out of the car. “ It’s
no use/’ Siid the keeper, he won't go
back there again.” The ribs which
support the roof were removed, the el
ephants closely watching the operation.
When this was done Jack went in,
swayed himself, rocked the car, humped
his back, found everything all right,
trumpeted his satisfaction and went to
eating. Davenport (i//.) Democrat.
THicu Amoug the Figures
the Rogues.
Hi s opponents, hia rivals, and his
supporters being judges, Governor Til
den has, with the possible exception of
DeWitt Clinton, been-eompletely the
head of the State administration than
any man who ever filled the Executive
chair of New York Some have com
plained that he relies tuo runoh upon
himself. Certainly, then, he deserves
the chief credit for all the good that
has been achieved in our public affairs
since he took control of them.
During the p*ast eighteen months
Governor Tilden has originated and
carried through measures that have re
duced our canal expenditures at the
rate of two and a half millions of dol
lars annually. Besides this, he has in'
itiated a line of policy that has exposed
and broken up a chronic system of
frauds whercbv the State, for years past,
has been robbed of large amounts of its
canal revenues. He has set at defiance
and driven out of the field a horde of
contractors who had been long accus
to do work on tbe canals that was ei
ther not needed at all or was performed
at rates ruinous to the State. He has
carefully watched the proceedings of
the Legislature, and his warning voice
has frightened away many jobbers,
while by his veto he has in two sessions
reduced the appropriations for general
purposes ab<->ut a million of dollars.—
And during his term of office, -and
mainly because of his measures, the
State taxes have been cut down nearly
one half.
Here is a kind of reform that evcry c
body. can understand and all honest
men will appreciate and applaud. Wc
need this sort of reform at Washington
during the next fi>ur years. We don’t
want rhetoricians, who deal in sound inir
phrases about reform; but practical
workers after the manner of Sam Til
den, who solve the problem of financial
reform by reducing expenditures and
diminishing taxes.
Mr. Tilden hardly has his match for
wading through long columns of com
plicated figures and discovering extrav
agances, uncovering frauds, and and fleet
ing rogues '1 he old Tammany King
and the more cunning Canal King will
bear testimony to this. The National
Government will affoid wide scope fi r
the di-play of Gov. Tiiden’s genius in
a field which he has cultivated with so
much success in New I'ork. Every
real friend of administrative reform .will
hail the day when he goes to work next
March upon the statistics and the scoun
drels at Washington. —New York Sun.

Egg Dance in ImtLia.
This is not. as one might expect from
the name given it, a dance upon these
fragile objects. It is execute 1 in this
wise : The dancer dressed in a corsage
and very short skirls carries a willow
wheel of moderate diameter fastened
horizontally upon the top of her head.
Around this wheel threads are fastened
equally distant from each other and at
the end of each of these threads ib a
slip-noose which is*kept open by a glass
bead. Thus equipped the young girl
comes towards the spectators with a bas
ket of eggs, which she passes around
for inspection to prove that they are
real and not imitation. The nr'sic stiikjs
up a jerky monotonous strain and the
dancer begins to whirl around with
great rapidity. Then seising au egg
she puts it in one of the slip nooses
and, with a quick motion throws it from
her in such a way as to draw the knot
tight. The swift turning of the dan
cer produces a centrifugal force which
stretches the thread out straight like a
ray shooting from the circumference of
the circle. One after another the eggs
are thrown out iu these slipnoosea,until
they make a horizontal aureole or halo
about lho dancer’s head. Then tho
dance becomes still more rapid so rapid
in face that it is difficult to distinguish
the features or the girl ; the moments is
critical ; tiff least false step-, the least
irregularity in time, and the egg dash
against each other. But how can the
dance be stopped ? There is but ono
way—that is to remove the eggs in the
way in which they have been put in
place. This operation is by far the more
delicate of the two. It a necessary
that /she dancer by a single notion ex
act and unerring should . ;o hold of
the egg and remove it from tin noose.
A single false motion of 'he Land, the
least interference with one of the threads
and the general arrangement is sud*
deniy broken, and the whole perform*
ancc disastrously ended. At last all
the eggs are successfully removed ; the
dancer suddenly stops,- and without
seeming in the least dizzied by the dance
of twenty, five or thirty-minutes, she
advances to the spectators with a firm
step, and presents them the eggs, which
are immediotoly broken in a fiat dish to
j! rove that there is no trick about the
per for ma u ce.— Scnb n ers Mon tidy.
“ My An sue is Hayes.”
Standing sou e years ago with our
distinguished comuiedian Owens, on
Exchange place, in front of some burn
ed houses, 1 called his attention to the
ivct that one of the sufferers had been
called “ 1 fa yes” as nis sign was still to
be seen over the door. “By thc-by,"
said Owens, “do you know how that
saying “My name is Hayes” origina
ted ?" I oohfessed my ignorance, when
lie proceeded to give this version :
“ Many years ago, when Mr. Jefferson
was a candidate for the Presidency, and
party feeling ran vciy nigh, he was rid
ing along upon one of the roads in the
neighborhood of his estate when he fell
in with a fellow traveller, with whom
he entered into conversation.
The conversation naturally
turned upon the pending' Presidential
election, and Mr. Jefferson’s companion
—no doubt aa ancestor of.the present
Republican candidate for the Presidency
—v. ho was a Federalist, and did not
know Mr. Jefferson, indulged himself
freely in party abuse of him.
After riding some distance together
they reaehed the residence of Mr. Jeffi
ferson’s estate, which was known to his
companion, although Mr. Jefferson him
self was rot. With all the courtly po

M hitchull Times.
The S’criod.
Ever sinee the world began this has
been a disputed quest'n i ; and ever
since the woild began the majority of
tho people have generally misjudged.
Thoroughly dissatisfied with any pres
ent time, the people cast about for a
golden age. We cannot find it iu tho
future, as the cloud of uncertainty
hangs on the horizon in that direction.
*Ve are compelled therefore to explore
the past.
The immediate past, with its facts
and disappointments, is too fresh in our
memory to allow us to throw the re
quired halo about it, and so wo continuo
>-ur journey until we get to the point
where memory grows dim and the imag
ination Works actively, and we call that
the hale halcyon period of life. The
distant future end distant past are both
creations of the fancy.
To say that childhood is the happiest
period of life is to offer insult to Prov
idence. The child is at best but a bun
dle of possibilities. He is a creaturo
of untrained impulses, of undeveloped
affections. His mind is like grato in a
well-ordered house. The coal is there,
the wood is there, and tho whole thing
will break into a blaze whea touched
with a match. Nuvv, after tho match
has touched it, what is a pleasanter and
more profitable sight than half a dozen
lumps of coal enveloped iu a royal blaze,
and filling tho room so full of light aud
heat that one forgets the wintry sleet
without? So childhood, with its ugar
plums and its toys, will be inferior to
manhood with its burning enthusiasm
and its lofty ambition.

True Words —Every town of any
pretentions w nu a newspaper and
should be willing to sustain it. A news
paper cannot live without patronage,
and cannot thrive and be effective for
the common good if the patronage is
stinted and grudgingly. An editor
may write up his town every week and
extol it to the skies ; he may tell his
readers at a distance of the liberal en*
terprise of its citizen* ; he may do all
these things but unless his advertising
columns show the business life of its
merchant? the tradesman, that pr.s
per s iuflue ice cannot be made available.
As we have said the advertising col*
umtis of a local paper is the true index
ol the business ot the town or couu*
l y-
With a good paper and live thrifty
men no town can long remain in >bscu—
tity. It will rise in suite of hard times
aod pros pci l even though all around
may be financially pressed
