novated and strengthened, and natural
co'or restored without tho application of
mineral substances.
Since the introduction of thi3 truly valu
able preparation into this country, it has
been the wonder and admiration cf all clas
ses, as it has proved to be the only article
that will absolutely without deception, re
store gray hair toils original oolor, health
softness, lustre and beauty, and produce
hair on bald heads cf its criginal growth
and color. :

article is complete within itself, no washing
or preparation before or after its use, or
accompany ment of any kind being required
to obtain these desirable results.

Philadelphia, May 2-ith, iS70.
If tho success of tho Centennial Show
c:iuld be fairly lne.isurcd by the attendaucc
during the first wock after the opening i:
would be a good lime now to take back
some of the glowing and extravagant things
that have heretofore been eaiil. It has
really been au exceedingly dull week, with
considerably less than 20,0110 average daily
attendance. But this statu of facts is
simply i'i the natural order of things
and ;:ot ia the least diseouiM'ng- The
cold, wet and disngrecabb weather has of
itself been enough to keep everybody at
home: and then the iaipre;.?ion has got
abroad aud il is correct loo that the Ex.
hibitien lacks a good deal of being ready.
The unfinished conditiin of the walks aud
numerous buildings, together wilh the mud
and rubbish and the work of unp icking
one ha still to encounter about the grounds,
are no means features calculated to at.
tract. Vi'hen it is kuowii th-jt tons of ex
hibits are arriving dib, people naturally
feel there is no hurry. Hut Ihis is no Ju
dication that they wont come by ind by.
The iuccesj of the exhibition is assured
both by its immensity mil the interest and
enthusiasm manifested everywhere, especi
ally on the opening day. It is stated that
considerable disappoiutuictit is felt by tho
Centennial direction nud in business circles
generally f.t the limited liumbjr, aad what
they are pleated lo let'iu thoso.ero econo
my, of visitors, fc'o far a3 tiio exhibition ij
concerned there is no occasion for misgiv.
ing. When the pressure ot spring business
shall bo over, and t'te Lx'uibition complete
for inspection, the people will coiuo from
every Section, not to parado the streets and
gaze ill tho shop windjws, but tD cluster
about the great fairy. laud in tho Park and
study its beauties d iy after day, until they
are content, aud then most of them will ga
uway to return for. a farewell visit in tho
autumn to whut ibis generation can never
see again. It may bo that tho estimates
early mado of tho inilliuns of visitors will
provo a little Jules Vcruey, but the poaple
are certainly coming.
But for the thousands of speculative
schemes organized solely to pluck tho un
suspecliug people who nra to come hero no
body Tiillhuvo sympathy. They went upou
the theory that a fool aud his money e.re
soon parted, aud that the city would bo
overrun with people anxious to spend their
accumulated wealth; or that they would be
naked nud hungry and they would takj
them in; aud there was to be a famine of
provision ,and .a harvest of greeubacks.
But ihey oounted their chickens before tho
eggs were laid, and witii no rooster' IS
sight. The cafes ami refreshment pieced
inside of the grounds, which charge treble
or quadruple prices for ordinary meals and
drinks, will fail disastrously, as they most
justly deserve to fail. I liav9 Keen bills
rendered for ordinary dinnors amounting
to from tli'-ee to four dollars, which a' any
of the best restaurants in Philadelphia
would not havo cost more (ban a dollar, and
if any one is so stone-blind as not to see by
this time that fifteen ccr.ts for a glass of
soda-water and fifty cents for n. sandwich
will mako visitors absolutely withhold
their patronage, they will learn il finally to
their sorrow The boarding-houses and
extemporized hoteU promise to be not tho
least of rhese sufferers, nnd I nni glad of it.
There ure many hundreds of Them nil de
manding $2 to 3 per day for the most or
dinary accommodations, each as cajv-be ob
taincd in auy other city, Chicr.pc, New
York or evca Washington, for from $7 fo
10 per week, and they insist upon putting
two in a room as Ilia. I s iw a statement
in one -correspondent's letter that good
board could bo had hero for $ per week,
and I know spveral persons who havo been
industriously hunting tho author of lhat
fiction for the past we :k. liut theso things
will all be forgotten one hundred years
hence.
To in e Ihe United States building is one
of the most interesting within the inclos
lire. Tho war nnd navy department dis
play, with nil H"- munitions and engine?
of war arrayed in view, is ijuit-) intimidat
ing. Pitt the neatest ai;d ii'ort perfect and
curious of all is the little engine and en
velope machine turning out a "Ccntenniaj
Envelope" till complete and stamped at each
evolution. The agriculturul display is
malo mainly in largo j-lasb ;!iov cases,
nud comprises in nil iivo divisions, uamuly,
chemical, eiomological, botanical, niiscro
seppic and the general museum. Hanging
on 'he wall nc::r which tho show-case3
stand nro four largo maps of tiio United
States, all bing divided into spaces f
different, sizes and colors, upon which arc
numbers corresponding wii'a a reference
schedule in cue corner. These maps show
respectively the cci.ipara.iu' value of firm
1-ni'l in this country, iho respective rates
cf wages paid for farm labor, tho prupor.
tion of woodli.ud to i.trni av?"., rnd the dis
Iribution of the pvoduc'ion of textile fibre.
IJy means of charts tho average prodactien
per 3 ere of tho country's stavlcs is show.-i
for each State. .Specimens of soils are nr
ranged in t' order of their geological for
mation, comprising marls, calcareous earths
green s a nil aud phosphatio lntu-ls. Then
come pliOGphatic r.viltj, iv. iiual aad vegeta
ble fertilizers and a coinhinalian of the
three iu a manufactured state. The next
feature, tho utilization of vegetable pro
ducts, is illustrated by weans of spccimjiis
bcg'mjir.g with the product in its natural
state, and proceeding through the variotn
stf'C'i cf manufacture to the iiuished article
t c iiiipi-ises the tho manufacture of flour,
meal and starch fVom cereals) of sugar
from cane, best-tool., tanple and corghuin,
and exhibits models cf t'.ifl machinery uced
in the i.i.iiiufaete.re of these. Tho fer
mentation ii shown c. triarchy substances
from which beer, ah: and porter nrc made,
and r.i jo '.lie distillation of whiskey. A
model :l.ii and !-.ns of colable American
distilleries are exhibited. Tl.en are seen
tlio i'ermentatioa and dirt'lluion of sugar,
molasses and fruits, resulting in a coui
pleto set of samples of American wires,
these, iu tf rn, being dis'illed and converted
into brandy. The display of tho wood
growth of tho country is inexhaustivo. At
the fost of the cases stand many hundred
sections of lugs, overbuild iu thoc.tsa being
specimens of tho loliago of their respective
tret-3. Next to Horticultural II ill and
ground:) this spot affords- the botanist the
greatest inlight which the Centennial can
give him. I'rom tho sub-tropical growth
of the Gulf and Southwestern i'latcs ir lo
the hardy coniferio of Maine and the North
west (hero is net a tree of importance
w'.ioh is not here represented. The patienco
of tlio curious is sorely taxed iu counting
the rings of old stagers that had reached
the hey-day of their growth two hundred
years before Columbus first saw Guanahani,
nud of noma that had doubtless sheltered
weary aborigines while Louis of France
was battling for tho cross of l'ulpstiue.
Most of thesa iiiferostitg specimens were
obtained from the .Sierra. Nevada- Moun
tains iu California. Tho priucipal of those
which accurate fit-.tistics can be gives are
as follows: . One cf a sugar piuo, 173 foot
high aud 27 feet in circuinfeienco at the
base, and ycarj old, tuo section hiving
been made at a diameter of 7 foot 2 inches
one of a Bui't. whito pine, I'M feet high, 2i
feet in circumfercnco at tho base, nn 1 OlO
years old, tho section having been mado at
a diameter of G feet 0 inches, and oil) of a
red silver fir, l'JJ feet high, 03 feet in di
ameter at the, base, tapering forouehuadie I
feet bef iro the first !:riuch was roasted,
and 3'J2 yeai'3 old. All these grew on the..
Sierra Kcvad.1. There is u.'ao one of a
twisted pine from the Rooky Mjuataitis,
123 feet high, 22 feet ia d ameter at tho
base auj "37 years old. A curious sxhioit
for most fAi. iu tho Middle Statej is
that of the many varielics of native oak au l
tho remarkab'.o want of resemblance aaiong
thei.i iu icjarJ to foliage, the tau-bark oak
of California, fer ins.auce, having velvety,
willow-shapcl leaves, while those of tho
blackjack oak of tho Southern Atlanlio
.States are boil-shaped. In tho grain of the
wood, also, the same wide divergency exists.
Whila the canon live oak of the Southwest
has a smooth bark end fine grain, the post,
oak of this region is rugged both in bark
and grain. ,
The annual meeting of the Board of Com
missioners occurred on Thursday when
tlemrrillawley, President, and Mr.'camp
bell, Secretary, were unanimously re-elected.
Soma little differences on questions of
policy had causoJ a division, and gomj
cauoussin- concerning the executive com- .
initio and the caucus ticket was elected. It
makes some chango in tho -committee, aud.
it is said, settles the much-agituled ques
tion of opotiing tho grounds on Sunday.
There has be:a a strong movement in this .
direction, headed by some eminent men and i
o!ergymen, and tho opinion has .heretofore
prevailed that it would ultimately be decided
to b open.
