COL, A. C. NOYKS, of Clint "
Ilartranft is a candidate for the nest
Y. S. Senatorsliip young Oameron'a
place, and thia is what make the new
fight between old Mends.
It ia our candid opinion that the dem
ocrats will carry off the next I - S. sena
torahip in thia state, at all events we
think Cameron will not be the man, us
things will shape against him.
The Temperance party ofthisstate last
week, made the following nomina
tions :
Judge of Sup. Court—F~ H. Wmton,
Lnaerne,
State Treasurer—Samuel Cornell,
Chester,
Aud. Gen—A. A. Barker,Luierno.
Thia makes the 4th state ticket in the
field, in thia state.
Europe has 85.745 miles of railroad;
A&ia baa 7,643 miles; tlio United States
74.153 miles: Canada 4.537 miles ; Mexi
co 577 miles. AMca 1451 miles; South
America S7Ol miles; Australasia 1752
milce; Central America and West In
dias 559 miles; a total 183,248, which
does not include the great Lewisburg
Centre ASp. Creek into Fennsvallev.
Our Mend. Wm. P. Wilson, esq., of
Bellefonte, has been appointed Chair
man of the Republican State Committee,
We congratulate him upon thia honor.
It was sbout time that one of Belle
fonts's republican atatesmen received
some recognition, and it deservedly fails
upon the shoulders ofMr. Wilson. The
party might have done much worse ; it
has done worse before this. However,
with all Mr. Wilson's political shrewd
ness, wo think the democracy, this vesr,
will spoil all his calculations and plans
for the campaign. If the campaign, on
the republican side be never so wed
conducted as by Mr. M ilson this year,
he and his army are doomed to defeat.
You have no Schells to throw, and all
theNoyes has already been kuockedout
of your men—they are choking with
Hayes in the throat.
The Mormon leaders have settled the
leadership by fixing it upon themselves,
in investing all Keys and powers fotever
in the Twelve, and produce an "Epistle
from God" for it. On 10 inst., at Salt
Lake, the Twelve Apostles issued an
epistle to the Mormon people, claiming
to have received a revelation from God
oh the 4th inst. directing them to pre*
aide over the Church without electing a
new Prophet. The promulgation here
Bays a dispatch, of the extraordinary
document has created excitement, sur
prise among the Mormons and disgust
among the Gentiles, who arc too well
aware of the past acts of several of the
Twelve not to believe that the Almighty
had but a small part in the matter. In
point of boldness this "revelation" goes
far beyond anything that Joseph Smith,
ever dreamed of, and is equaled only by
the disgusting bulletins which Brighatn
Young sent forth from time to time.
It exceeds all the ideas of the simple
minded peasants to whom speaking "in
tongues," as St. Paul described it, is
sufficiently marvelous, as none of those
Godgifted men ever condescended to
translate their gibberish and decepted
twaddle. A communication from on
high, however, is something the thick
aiid*tbin followers of Smith are not per
mitted to question. Intelligence, science
manhood—these things must have no
place in Mormonism. Like the Caffir
at the fetich and the devoted Hindoo,
who fall at the voice of the priests be
fore the car of Juggernaut, to his own
destruction, these deluded creatures in
Utah will to-morrow discuss the epistle
es though it were what it really is not—
a "direct command from God." It is a
glaring attempt to retain power over a
people which has been subjected by
fraud and violence to a condition of
mental and physical slavery worse than
anything described in Oriental bisto
ry.
Apostle Taylor is acknowledged to be
President of the quorum of the govern
ing body.
The epistle is very lengthy and is
signed by all the Apostles, who clinch
their claim by quoting from a sermon
delivered at Nauvoo long ago by Brigham
Young. They quote: —"Joseph Smith
conferred upon our heads, the Twelve
Apostles, all the keys and powers be
longing to the apostleship which lie him
self held before he aas taken away, and ,
no man or set of men can get between
Joseph and the twelve either in this ,
world or in the world to come." They ,
"waited on the Lord," who blessed
them and revealed their future course. I
According to the hundreds of dis
patches sent off to-day it ia evident the
twelve and their friends have given or
ders that tbe "Cbnrch," meaning the
untutored masses, must accept this epis
tle as settling the question of the leader
ship; that Heaven has conferred the
ruling power upon these twelve men,
and that it will be a capital offence to
raise objections. These men, several of
whom are said to hare their names on
an indictment list for participations in
murder and other crimes, have thus tbe
audacity to flaunt their bigotry and
craft in the teeth of this nation, and
sneer at the enlightenment of the nine*
teenth century.
The Centre Co. Fair, Oct. 2, 3,4 and 5,
offers greater attractions and better pre
miums than ever before. The officers
hare for months been devoting them
selves to the work of making it a success
and a credit to the industrial and agriv
cultural interests of the county. They
deserve the thanks and encouragement
of our people for this. We doubt wbeth
er any fair in central Pennsylvania will
compare with ours this year. From
many exchanges outside the county we
notice favorable mention of the list pre
pared for our fair, and they pronounce
it the best out.
Senator Morton is recovering his
health, and Morrow B. Lowry his reason.
It would be much better if the Reporter
could announce that Morton was gain
ing in reason.
The republican party of California baa
got behind hand so much that it will
will have to appoint assignees.
The Northumberland county demo
crats have instructed for A. H. Dill, of
Lewisburg, for Governor. He would
make a good governor, Andy would.
D. F. FORTS F.Y.
The democracy of our county have
placed the above gentleman in nomina
tion for the oflloo of District Attorney.
Thie ia a deferred compliment, a* Mr.
Fortney baa been one of tbc hardest
working and most zealous democrats in
llna county for the Inst eight years, and
if ever faithfhl service to tbe party ren
dered a man worthy of a nomination,
Mr. Fortney ia that man. There baa not
been a campaign that has not heard
Mr. Fortney'a voice ring in every school
house in old Centre in defense of demo
cratic men ami measures, and his
speeches always had a telling effect
through rain and thine,clear and cloud*
ed nights, in victory and defeat, he waa
found at work, laboring for the success
of the party with an energy acarccequal
ed.
Mr. Fortnev has been a successful
practitioner at the Bellefontc bar for a
number of years, and now ranks among
the ablest of its members, hence his
nomination for District Attorney is an
eminently fitone.and hit election wi'.'.
!be a credit to the county, as well a
i gratifying to the entire bar at which he
| has practiced, and by whom hi* abi.ity
i and fitness is openly admitted.
Aa the democracy ha* one of its real
working members iu the field one who
is a self-made man, who has ability lor
the place for which lie has been nomi*
nated, and who is noted for industry and
sobriety, let them accord him such a ma
jority. ins it was Mr. Fortney s habit to
work for and secure for our nominees in
years past.
SOME OF FA TTEIISOS'S WORK.
We referred in the last issue of the
Reporter, to the fact that Patteroou and
the other members of the South Caro
lina ring were indicted for their rascali
ties. The extract here will show how
John J. did some things:
Doubtless John J. Patterson, who rep
resents the State of South Carolina iu
the Senate of the United States, wiiimso
claim to be enrolled in tbe army of
political martyrs of South Carolina. Let
us ee the foundation of his claims. Iwo
indictments against the Senator are baa
! ed upon the following facta, elicited by
the Investigating Committee:
At the time Patterson was President
of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company of
South Carolina Hiram 1L Kiiupton was
the financial agent of the of
South Carolina in the city of New
There were introduced into the Legis
lature of South 'Carolina three bills in
which these worthies were deeply inter
ested, vix: "A bill to relieve the Sute
of South Carolina from all liability by
reason of its guaranty of tbe bonds of
the Blue Ridge Railroad Company/' bv
the issue in their stead of revenue bond
scrip, Ac.: "A bill to authority the
Financial Board to settle with the finan
cial agent of the State in the city of New
York/' , , , ,
Kimpton having assumed the task of
lobbying tho Blof Ridgs Kailroiul bill
through the Senate, the expense of which
was estimated at $50,000, and the other
bills rather hauging fire for want of ma
terial aid, an explosion nearly occurred.
A treatv was effected, however, the de
tails of which are fully set forth in the
following letter of Seuator Patterson to
Nilea G. Parker, State Treasurer:
V ICE-PRESIDENTSOFFE, GREENVILLE AM' )
COLCMBIA RAILROAD COMPARV, '
colvmbia, S. C., March 4,1872. I
Hon. Sib* G. Forltr, StaU Trtantrfr,
.South ChroMna :
Please deliver to 11. 11. Kimpton
"revenue bond scrip' 1 due the Blue Kidge
Railroad Company according to act pass
ed MarchlS72* amounting to >114,-
250 at par, upon the following condi
tion! :
That >42,507 of said scrip at par value
is to be used for paying the expenses of
passing through the House of Represen
tatives bills styled "a bill relating to the
bonds of the State of South Carolina"
and "bill* to authorize the Financial
Board to settle the accounts of the finan
cial agent." Now, if these above named
bills are passed and become laws, this
order for >42,857 in scrip at par is to be
paid said Kimpton, and if not paseed,
then this order for that amount to be j
void, and the scrip is not to be deliver
ed; also, that >71,414 of scrip at par you
■hall deliver to said Kimpton ifsa-.d bills
shall become laws, and provided that he
shall pay the sum of >50,000 (the pro
ceeds of said scrip at 70 cents on the
dollar) in paying the expenses incurred
in passing through the Senate the bill
known as "a bill to relieve the Slate of
all liability on account of guaranty of
Blue Ridge Railroad bonds," Ac., passed
March 2, 1572, which said expenses said
Kimpton has contracted to pay ; and if
said Kimpton fails or refuses to pay said j
amount in defraying said expenses w hen
required by me, then this order to be
void. If said conditions are complied
with and the amount of scrip delivered
to said Kimpton, he ia not to be held
liable for or to account for its value.
The above two sums of >42,8-59 and >71,-
414 in scrip at par make up the amount
of scrip first mentioned in this order.

Witness. R. B. Elliott.
The original of the above letter or con
tract was obtained before its delivery to
Parker and photographed under direc
tion of Governor Bcott, who retained a
proof. Another proof was made and the
negative destroyed by the photographer.
It was from this latter proof, which was
submitted to the Investigating Commit
tee, that the indictments against Patter
son were found. K. B. Elliott, colored,
ex-Congressman from this State, ex-
Speaker of the House of Representa
tives, Chairmau of the Republican State
Executive Committee and candidate for
Attorney-General under Chamberlain at
the last election, was the subscribing
witness to the contract, and upon being
summoned before the Grand Jury last
week he acknowledged to having attest
ed the instrument. Upon this state of
facts, Patterson, Kimpton and Parker,
have been indicted for conspiring to
bribe the members of the legislature to
vote for the bills mentioned.
Patterson is also separately indicted
for bribing members of the legislature
to vote for the same bills. Different
counts of the indictment specify to
bribery of Samuel J. Lee in the sum of
$5,000, John B. Dennis $5,000, and
Prince R. Rivers, SSOO, members of the
House ; and C. P. Deslie $5,000, Y. J. P.
Owens $5,000, S. A. Swails $5,000, 15. F.
Wbittemore $5,000, and Henry E. Hayne
(subsequently Secretary of State) $5,000,
all members of the Senate. Tide consti
tutes the "political persecution" ofSena
tor Patterson.
The Lewistown Gazette says the Cali
fornia election was a mixed up affair.
Yes, brwther, so badly mixed and uted
up were the republicans there, that not
even a Sargent will be left to tell the
tale.
Maine last week went republican by
less than 6000. What a falling o ft in that
stubborn, old stronghold of radicalism
that used to count majorities by 50,000.
Another such a victory and Maine goes
democratic. Wal, did yer hear the news
from Maine?
The Hon. William Gaston has been
nominated by the democrats of Massa
chusetts as their candidate for governor
In 1874 Governor Gaston was elected by
a handsome majority, and his re-nomi
nation indicates that the democracy of
the old Bay state mean business. Gas
ton's election is not an improbable
event.
The Mifflin county Democratic ticket
is as follows; Prothonotary, A.C. Mayes;
Register, W. V. B. Coplin ; District At
torney, John F. McClure ; Poor Director
Samuel Awrand ; Surveyor, W. J. Me-
Monagle.
Democratic Clubs should be organi

Hardly any use in tbe Centre Co. rade
holding a convention this year there is
only a district attorney to nominate, and
Clem Dale is the only candidate. Clem's
trip up Salt river will be so lonesome

who succeeds M. fhier* as the represen
tative of Republicanism in Frauce, a-nl ■
a* has been si.ivl. at the request of the |
only uiau who could compete with him I
for the leadership. The strength and
unanimity of the party has before been
referred to. This is a proof that it has
not been overrated. Against thia great
Republican party, representing three
fourths,if not four-fifths, < f the v ting
population of France, are arrayed three
parties- the Legitimists, the OrlcauUi*
and the Bonapartute. They ate not
uin let I in opposition, because in the
first place, they ere not evenly distribu
ted over the country. -In Urittany the
Legitimists are strongest, but the Or
teaiiiatsure weak.andeo it is all ovei I
France ; in almost all the departments
one of the minority jmrtics far oulnum
bera Ui# other two. Th#y do not agier
at all, except that republicanism um.*t
be overthrown. The Legitimists want a
monarchy—a hereditary government
under the hereditary sovereigns of
France. The Orleanista are more like
the F.nghsh parliamentarian* in de.-u
--ing a constitutional monarchy, laying
more stress upon the necessity of a
Chamber than the legitimists. The
Bonapartist* demand a monarthy with
out a Constitution, and without so much
regard to its hereditary character. They
sigh for a coup d'etat, which is the last
thing in the world that the other parties
wish to see; they have suffered from
them bofore and fear the resuit.
There is really as little in common
with the three minority parties as be
tween the first two aud the Republican*
They unite against the strongest foe. but
they fear a Bona[artiMe success more
thau they do a Republican victory. If
there were any serious indications that
they were getting any undue advantage,
it is probable that on the day of the
second election the Legitimist .strength
would be thrown for the Republican
candidates. This is the more likely to
be the case because it is noticeable that
the ministerial policy is that of a Bona
partist—M. Fourton and that influence
has been gaining in power. It: any case
the government is doomed. A Repub
lican success, which now seems inevita
ble, would compel its resignation, while
a Republican defeat would only cause a
new conflict between these three ele
ments, in which neither could l>e victo
rious.

back would cause her to turn a luccettion
of back somersaults and gave vent to a
running firo of squalls. Like the parrot
that was left alone with the monkey, old
Tabby had a dreadful time.
Two or three days after this adventure.

her by the neck and threw ber down near

at a single bound reached the top of a

before the Tenth Chamber of Correctional
Police, to answer respectively for deliver

Cam belts, in conscquonce of the illness of
his counsel, lodged a petition for an ad
journment of the trial for one week, which
was refused. An entry of default wns
thereupon made against Uamhella and
Mural, and Gambetta was condemned, in
default to three months' imprisonment and

MISSOURI LETTER
Grant City, Mo., Sept 3d.
litar lirpvrftr :
It is to long since I larl
wrote to you that 1 fear 1 have lost my
identity in your family of correspondent*
My neglect to write U attributable to a
want of lime, which t* sufficient excuse
I do not know that my eflorts row will be
appro iatrJ. but if 1 lan only accomplish
a very little of what 1 hare in view, 1
shall feel myself amply repaid for my
time and trouble. My few remarks arc
especially intended fur the poorer classes
whose condition under the present mone
tary system is one of commiseration. Do
I i.ceJ proof of th. tr piihkb'e condition *
It so, I refer the r ides t the great strike
that recently sent a thrill of terror through
out the country. That strike was only a
demonstration on the part of the laborer*
of our country—tho poorer classes who
are sorely oppressed on account of the
hard limes, superinduced by the vicious
system <>t contraction that is closing tight
er and tighter around the hard Cstcd yoe
maury vj the land What will the p.-orer
classes in the East resort to for gaining
a lisrlihood if time* become much hard
<-r than at present? And the prospects
for harder times are growing painfully
brighter each day. Will they sit down
an! starve? or will they re enact with
tenfold degree the scenes of Baltimore,
: Fills burg and other place* 7 Tha latter
course is the most likely Xuw is there a
| way to avert ibis'' 1 am of the opinion
I that there is, and will presume to point
: out how to • certain extent.
In the East there are thousands of men
whose only support is the:r daily labcr.
They do not own an inch of land, ard can
never hope to become the possessor ol land
at the ruinous prices at which laud* are
sold there Now if those men rutild • nly
bring themselves to believe that tbe exact
spot uj-on which they and their ancestor*
were born, is not the only plare in the
world where a man ran makealiveiibood,
1 would be encouraged to invite them to
come West and secure for themselves
homes that will soon become of more val
ue than the palatial home* of the tich in
the Mil. isod especially designed the
Wast for the poor man. lie has placed
here a virgin soil unequalled for fertility
Lie hat placed here streams of water and
a healthy climate, and the man who can

come—
"To tbo West, to the West, to the land of
the free,
Where the mighty Missouri rolls down
|0 the sea;
Where a man is a man, if he's willing to
toil,
If ba only will gather tbe fruit* of tbr
xoi).*"
And while he is coming, 1 would say,
"come to northwest Missouri." Here is
wlmt Itayard Taylor says ol this section of
country : "I consider this country the
largest unbroken tract of splendid farming
land in the world." Here is what a gen
tleman who bad traveled extensively in
California and Oregon, says of this (Worth)
county: "It I had Worth county in Cab
ifornia or Oregon, 1 could sell it at soo
per acre."
Lands can be bought here at from $o to
$"•') per acre, on good time. I would like
to follow this theme further, but as I have
already taken up too much space, 1 will

A BLOODY PURSUIT.
Torre Haute, September 11.—At St. El
mo, Ills., yesterday forenoon, John Scales
followed a man who burglarised bis
house. Tho man turned and shot Scales
through the bead once and through the
body twice, killing him instantly. In a
short time a party of armed men were in
pursuit of the murderer. The first riders
to reach him were Frank Barnes and
Frank Wiseman. The man turned upon
them with a pistol in each hand, and kill
ed Barnes and mortally wounded Wise
man. He then turned and fired into the
pursuing party, and killed one horso and
wounded another, after which ho escaped
unhurt There is great excitement in the
neighborhood of St. Elmo.
Owing to a great deal of sickness at
present, of which lose bowels seem to he
chief, the following may provo valuable.-
"It is said thnt dysentery in its worst form
can be etired, after all other remedies have
failed, by drinking wheat flour stirred in
water, in quantity of about a half tumbler
of water made to the consistency of cream
with the flour. It may bo advisable to
add a pinch of salt, or tho flour may be
eaten in its dry slate. Tho same effect
may be produced in cases of chronic diur
rhM,"
The engineers of Marseilles have, it is
said, discovered that sinco tho opening of
the Suex Canal the lovel of the Mediter
ranean has sunk some eight centimetres,
or say 31 inches.
An investigation of the Philadelphia
custom house shows that it is as rotten as
thnt of New York, and thut a change of
officials is neoded.

i Kuitok Kkpohi ch, and Centre county
Friends: Since 1 &nd it almost impraeb
ble to write individual letlur* to many
that 1 promised so to do and as most o(
those promised are readers of your worthy
paper 1 will atk you for a little space and
make one letter answer the purpose, and
will give you a hasty sketch of my trip
and of Kriisks in general. 1, in company
with G. W. Boone, of Boonevillo ; W. J.
Kicker and Dennis Crimen* of Salona, lrlt
Lock |H. ven April lltih n route for
well "now l ni stuck, but we Jeft anyhow,
and after a very interesting trip byway of
' Pittsburg, Colutubus, Indianapolis, St.
Louis, Kniisas City, and Topeke, wo ar
■ rived in Kansas. We slopped off and
tiwcd the cities of Indianapolis, St. Lou
is, Kansas City and Toptkn, and a* each
succeeding town we liked better, wo kept
on traveling westward until we reached
what we supposed to he the pinnacle of
*. grandeur and excellence, and then con
! eluded it was best to "bold a Icedle on
This we did in central Kansas and after
s loiking over the country in general
-elected a place to settle which we found
• at (Vdron Lincoln county, Ka*. Our
■ claims are adjoining those of Co). AV. W
1 Brown, of political fame in Centre county,
r alto former editor of Brown's Republican,
L- end with him we stopped until we had put
s up our house, which contains two rooms
—one inside and one outside.
> Since then we have been improving our
claims, helping to put away the enormous
r cr ps of wheat and working at our trader.
But 1 tup) ose something about the coun
> try in general would interest you more
s than to hear of our personal doings
If 1 should write anything that you
think is exaggerating just take a step down
■ nd believe me, I cannot tell you half. To
tell you f tbe natural wealth, hearty,
grandeur, attractions, richneas of soil and
i facilities of this country, in this short
; sketch would be out of my reach. Bv oks
have been written about it and much re*
, mainsyel to be said. Laying as it dow in
. tha heart of the I'nion and in tbe centre of
tbe great agricultural belt between tho
Mis-usippl and the Rockies, and hav.ng a
soil second lo noi.e, it has no uncertain fu
- lure The face of the country is nearly
, uniform, being one c nlinuei succcmioo
, of tinJulaling ridge* and valleys, lh< gen
eral inclination of the ridgra being vatied
by the streams Tim toil has a limestone;
basis of superior quality and value, and
the extent of its coal depot.'.s in various
parls is unlimilable. White and blue
limestone abound besides a cream colored
magnesium limestone which makes a very
beautiful building material. Timber is
found skirling the banks of all streams and
u abundant for all necessary pur|io*ei.
The climate is mild, tho winters are short,
with little snow. Sio-b is pastured out the
entire winter on the river bottoms. The
'ummer* though warm, are pleasant. The
soil is not surpat-ed, if equaled, in tertiii
ty by any on the continent. It is one of
i the finest graxing states in the I'nion Tbe
gratses of Kansas are at good at the world
can produce, for milk.
The Schocl system of Kansn* is very
complete and efficient, and ine ample pre- j
vision for education in a so newly aeltied
country justly excite the admiration and
-urprisc of all who visit tho state for tbej
first time. Fine large school houses with
1 all modern improvement* are lo be seen in
every town and village, and throughout
the country good scheol houses and
churches dot the landscape and indicate
i the intelligence, morality, thrift and en
i terprise of the people.
Mr. Boone and I are working at a school
, building that would lay the Millheiin or
Centre Hall buildings in tho shade.
But I get so interested when I get to
talking about this gloriour state that 1
I donl'l know when to top. For foar I will
j take up too much of your valuable room,
II will close and will send you an occasion
al Utter.
i 1 shall be plea ed to answer any and all
questions those who contemplate coining
to this country ask.
We, Us & Co., are all well and happy.
Yours Truly,
O. C. METER.
A NOTABLE EVENT.
The Governors At The Exhibition.
Tbo late assemblage of invited Gover
nors at the International Exhibition of
Philadelphia, together with their most
cordial endorsement of its plan, scope, and
object, henceforth places it under the aus
pices, as it were, of our whole nation. And
this is eminently proper, seeing that the
Exhibition, under tho energetic direction
of its present sagacious management, is
i now and is destined still more to be in the
future, not only a vast collection of vari
ed attractions, but a great school of in
struction for the entire American people
as well as a popular trade mart and com
mercial emporium for merchants and bus*
iness tnen.
The Company now offor merchants from
, every part of the country, noar and dis
tant, facilities such n were never before
presented, for the examination and com
parison of all the various stylos and quali
ties of manufactured goods. A day or two
spent there before making bis purchases
will enable tho shrewd, intelligent buyer
to enter the market at great advantage.
Comfortable and appropriate rooms are
now tilted up as a sort of commercial ox
change, where buyer and seller can meet
—where papers, samples, price lists, etc.,
can l>e inspected and compared,
and whore the stranger is invit
ed to come and at nil times feel himself
perfectly at home.
Tho insertion is unbesita'ingly made
that this is the largest, grandest, and most
complete Exhibition in the world. It un
questionably has never in the world's his
tory hail at y peer, except iu the matchless
Centennial, of whose wealth it it tho natu
ral inheritor, and of which it is the most
worthy successor. No less than thirty
eight State- and Territories, and all the
principal foreign countries are represent
ed in this immense display, by over two
thousand •exhibitors. Not estimating the
wonders of art and nature stowed away in
Memorial and Horticultural Halls, which
are attractive adjtin ts to the Kahibllion
proper, there are on constant diaplay no
less than twenty-one acres of varied ard •
interesting exhibit*, representing every I
, deparlniont of art, science, education and 1
industry. <
A (irnntl Natitoml Fair.
The management are now organising a
grand National Knir. to take place In the
li rat half of November, and to follow hard
upon the Mtate Fairs, which are being
held alt over the country, A system ot
awards will ho adopted, arranged more
will, regard to high value than to number
It It proposed that the medals awarded
shall represent the highest uharacter
which can possibly he given to manufac
tured goods In this Fair our wLoln peo
ple should be ir ioreitcd, anil, it possible,:
lend their attendance. The vast machine
ry set in motion by the last Centennial lias,
' been utilized fur the present International
Kthibition, and, hy adding, improving. l
1 *nd modifying where necessary, it bat
' now i one to be entirely worthy oftbenew
departure our nation took on entering tbc
second century' "f if* existence. The
,spread f<ast is now ready f>r and entirely
ssoithy of iu cordially-invlt*>d guests.
