[From our Regular Correspondent.! Philadelphia, August 5, 1876. 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 bv comore sorrow there,” when a search ing and familiar voice hissed in his eat: tl you finish killin’ them cater, pillars on them pear trees, or I’ll give yuiisorrer enough to last ye clear through eteruity.

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. “Can a politician be honest ?”— Ex.

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 liteness which distinguished the Virgin ian gentleman of the olden time, Mr Jefferson invited his companion to ride in with hiui. “Do you live here?" said his companion. “Yes," said Mr. Jefferson ; my name is Jefferson, and I am the gentleman whom it has pleased you to abuse during our ride.” With his eyes spreon wide open in amazement the companion rejoined : “ Your name Jefferson?" “Yes," said Mr. Jeffer aon. “ Well, ’’said he, “my name is Hayes” and with a ge/long, he struck j his heels into the flanks of his old mure, j A similar scene will be enacted next November upon the decision of the pending presidential canvass. Wc shall hear the descendant of Mr. Jefferson's companion exclaim : “My nruno is Hayes,” and vve shall see him with a “go long,” strike his heels into the flanks of his worn-out, spavined old uiare, but her head will not bo pointed toward the White House. — Correspon dence Baltimore Gazette.

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?

One hour to day is worth two to-mor row Proud looks make foul words in fair faces. Quiet conscience give? quiet sleep. Riches is he that wants least. Small faults indulged in are little thieves. the boughs that bear most hang low* 6St Upright walk is sure walking. Virtue and happiness arc Dear kin ~ You never lose by doing a good turn. Zeal without knowledge is fire with out light. —— —< True Words —Every town of any pretentions w nu a newspaper and should be willing to sustain it.

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.
