on v andewater street, in a ironi

As tho reporter was passing by an
alley way on Mulberry stroet, leading
back to a number of filthy tenements,
he saw a woman, a ragpicker, perhaps,
bonding ovor a wee mite of shivering
humanity that stood half hidden in
tho shadow. A little girl, foully clad,
whose pnlo Inco took a more ghastly

Having seen some ot the European
International Exhibitions, or World's
Fairs, and having nuido n patient si inly
for several weeks of the ouo In Paris in
18G7, the greatest of them ail 1 mi
froo to say that the approaching Cen
tennial Fair iu Philadelphia promises
to oxcol any and overvthintr of tho

I bis remark will he readilv set down

into grand pronorlions, while distance
dwarfs tho same objects. Well, let us
spond a few minutes in a rapid survey
of what it required a busy but very
pleusant duy to see.
Tho right man in tho right place is
Mr. John Welsh, President ol the Board
of Financo and General Overseer of
the Centennial preparations, Tho
ottlco and headquarter, aro at 904
Walnut Btroct, Philadelphia: Into this
olllco I stopped at ton o clock in tbo
morning, and banding my card, as a
stranger, to Mr. Welsh, ho said after a
cordial groeting:
"How long do you remain in Phila
delphia?"
"riro boura and ten minutes.
"What have you to do besides the
Centennial '!"
"Nothing. 1 camo solely to see
what you havo dono, and must lenvo
the city this aftonioon." '
In a few moments his enrriugo wob
at tho door, and wo were oil' to Fair-
mount Park.
As wo rodo through the t-itj', Mr.
Welsh called my attention to its extra
ordinary growth : tho City Hall, ot
roportioiis, costly Indeed Dul Honestly
uilt: ho did not intend to remind me
of ovr Court Houso by pointing to his;
tbo clusters ol cliurelies and public
buildings, inakine a lino show ot vari
ous orders of architecture, which re
minded mo' of a visit to Philadelphia
more than thirty years ago, when I
met at tho General Assembly a lawyer
from beyond the Mississippi River. Uo
said to me: "I have never been East
before ; bavo read and learned all that
1 could of tho world from books; have
studied Latin and Grook ; but 1 never
saw a Gothic building, and do not
know, except from pictures' and do-
scriptions, tho difference between Cor
inthian and Doric stylcsof architecture,
will you bo so kind as to point out to
mo, as wo walk, the several forms and

have I since then enjoyed moro plcas-
uro than in tho ploasur this Intelligent
student found in the sight and perusal
of Art, familiar to bis imagination, but
now for the first time real in his eye.
Wbon ho returned to his tnr West
homo, he sent me a box ot ancient
Indian art, wrought centuries before
Philadelphia was invented.
In Fairmount Park, including 2,740
acres within tho city limits, but really
in tho rural districts, connected with
the heart of the city by linos of stroet
cars, (wo kundretl and thirtu-tix acres of
land have been enclosed with a sub
stantial fence. This vast area lies on
tho banks of the Schnylkill river, span
nod with beautiful bridges' ; tho grounds
aro diversified with hill and dale and
plain; forests ot lofty trees, gardens
and flowors; fountains over flowing;
ravines, dells and ploasant walks; and
in tho midst of this wide and wonder
fully beautiful domain, hava risen, as it
by enchantment, groups 4f graceful
and magnificent buildings, exceeding
in thoir magnitude, convenience, vari
ety and architectural cleganco and
fitness lor tho purpose, tho preparations
made forany international exhibition in
Loudon, Dublin, Paris or Vienna. H
is impossible to convoy by description
an idea of a building, or group of build
ings. 1 had no moie correct imiiroiwion

a child has, until I saw them. But if
yon will lancy yonrsoll wnn air. oisn

looking (ill tbo grounds, with tho twos
denuded so that tboy do not hide (as
by-and-bj they will,) with thoirdivtner
beauty, man's handiwork, you will take
in. at one irrund view, iho many palaces
of art now shining in tho brightness of
a winter sun. For tlioy aro so largely
built of glass, that they reflect tho
light, while they rocoivo It freely. And
first and greatest of all is tho msin
building, nearly two thousand feet long
and 4(14 feet wido, and covering timity
acres of ground. Tho Great Pyramid
of Egypt enelosos clevrn. Tho propor
tions of Ibis main building aro correct,
and tho parallcllogrii,m is the best pos
sible lonn tor a houso to live in, or lo
store and show goods in. It cuts up
to tho best advantage. The Paris Hall
was circular, aud it wan a I' much lancy
lo arrango tho several countries so us
to tmiko a vis'l lo them all equivalent
to u trip artmnd the world. Our Amer
ican house will have many mansions in
it, where, from the liast and the West,
tho North mid the South, the people of
all nations may como with the works
of their bunds, and sit down to Bitioy
tho arts of peace. Vi otild to tiocl mat
it might be tho harbinger and dawn,
not ol Centennial but millennial glory,
ben tho nations shall study war no

Near to this is Iho Memorial Hall, a

proportions, surmounted by pinnacles
and dome, tne wnoiei imvuig eorti mw

exhibition of Painting und Statuary.
It will be tho most constantly thronged
of nil tho buildings during the season.
Studies and fountains, and tho loveli
ness of nature are nil about it ; the best
works ol modorn art will adorn it with
in, and make it tbo central and crown
ing glory of t ho show. For niter all is
said about utility and practical value,
tho ornamental and beautiful address
tho tastes of tho greatest number, do
lighting tho cultured and raising tho

THE RELKIIOUS OUTLOOK.
Tlio material constitutes tbo things

of her sons. Oilier societies and in

Dr. W'ithcrsnoon, tho only minister of
the Jrospol who signed tho Declaration
of Independence. Tho Publication
Boards of all names should unito and
make this department both brilliant
and Btiggcstivo. No other nation owes
moro than ours to religion and educa
cation. Wo should commemorate our
grotltndo by exhibiting evidences of
their agencies. Sach displays will also

India and Burmab and the Isles of the

that enlightened religious sentiment
which, bv the means ol public instruc
tion in tho 8chool, tho Church and tho
Press, has made tho American people
what it is, and without which it would
now not bo. or. havinir a name, would
bo nothing more than tbo Republics of

If no ono is allowed to enter tho

wo thus set an examine ol rovorenco
for these principles of morality and

APPEARANCE OF THE THIEVES. ,
On Monday afternoon (Feb. 7th) two
strangers passed through TJniontown,
driving a sorrel horse with open buggy,
and proceeded to Elimsport. On thoir
way up to tho villago they mado in
quiry ubout Henderson dc Harbors
mill, in the gap, it any -one wished to
trado heroes. At the residence of John
Haines, where they stopped and wero
treated to dinner, they also made care
ful inquiry about the prioo of clover
seed, alleging that they wero anxious
to purchaso a certain quantity. Mr.
Hainos took them to bis barn and
showed them about fifty bushels ot
seed that be had in a bin. They did
not make a purchaso, but soon after
wards started for tho village of Elims-
fiort. After they bad proceeded as
itr on tho way as tho houso of Daniel
Hobst, one ol them got out of tho bug
gy, and looking in his barn discovered
somo cloverseod. They then went to
tho farm-bouso of Mr. Persons and
ased if they could not leave their horso
and buggy there for a few days, as
they wanted to go to Collomsvillo,
whero they had some businoss to trans
act He told them that bo would keep
tho horso for them.
STEALING THE SEED.
After leaving Person's thev started
uown inoroau 10 tne uirecuon oi r-iiiun-
I -I .1 1-1 - At
port. On tho way they stopped at
Mr. Dougherty's tor supper. Ho asked
luem whether thoy hod not driven
past his place a short timo before, but
they declared that it must bavo been
somebody clso. Aftor partaking ot
supper they started for Mr. Hobst's,
where they succeeded in stealing ten
bushels ot bis cloverssod, which ihoy
carried away from tho barn and placed
under a largo treo near by. 1 ney then
proceeded to the barn of Mr. Forosman,
where thev stole a fine black horse,
and then tboy camo down to Mr. Jacob
Marshes, whore they Hole a one bay
horso, and harness for the two, and bis
wagon also. Having secured a good
team tboy hurriedly drove to John
Harnes s, whore tboy at onco loaded
tho cloverseod and started in the direc
tion of Lcwisburg to disposo of thoir
booty.
THE PURSUIT. I
It fortuualelv happened on Tuesday
morning that Mr. Haines intended to
commence threshing oats, and a num
ber ot workmen wero on band cany
for business. The moment the farmer
wont into the barn bo discovered his
granory broken open and his clovor
socd gone. Ho at once suspicioncd the
parties that bad bocn there the day
before. An examination of the road
showed that tho thieves had a wagon,
and that they had driven in a certain
direction. Homos wero at once pro
pared and Iho pursuit commenced by
the men who intended to thresh grain.
Below riow. Columbia the tbioves
found that they were hotly pursued,
ben they abandoned their stolen
booty in tho road and took to the
woods. Tbo horses, wagon and clover-
seed wero secured by the pursuing
party, who roturnod with tbo proporty
to Spring Garden mill. As tho horses
wero very much exhausted from be
ing ovor-drivon, they left the seed with
sir. showers to lighten tno load. II
the thioves had hud two hours moro
timo thoy could havo reached tho storo
of Mr. batcstnan, who would have
purchased rho booty without asking
any questions, as ho wanted clovcrseea
badly.
Route of the thieves,
i After being compelled to abandon
tbo stolen property so suddenly in tho
road, tho thieves stnrtod back as rap
idly as possible to secure the horso and
buggy which they had left in tho caro
of Mr. Persons, above Elimsport. But
they did not get back as fast as they
bad intended, on account of the report
of tho great robbery having been al
ready circulated through tho settle
ments, and squads of men wero out in
all directions watching for them. A bout
IIitco o'clock thst allernoon six mon
started on horseback to search for tho
horso and buggy, which they found at
Persons'. Tbo Constnblo of Gregg 1
township got on the track ol tbothiovos
and followed them along the mountain
past D. lloiiscrs. At ono timo he
ennui in sight of them, when they again
took to tbo woods with all possible
baste and wero soon lost sight of. Be
tween four and fivo o'clock on Wednes
day morning they ventured out of tho
woods, approached tho dwelling ol .Mr.
Houser and asked for something to
eat. Ho aiiHpicioned that they wore
the horse-thieves, told them so, nnd
refused to furnish them with anything
to eat. This so alarmed them that
they started for tho woods again and
traveled in tho direction of Elimsport.
Their ronto was along tho foot ol the
mountain till they cnino opposite tho
residence of Jumes Williamson, whore
they camo into 'tho road which leads
past Henry Schoolcy's barn.

POPE AUD HIS CO TEMPORAJt Y
CRITICS.
Perhaps bo writer that ever lived
became to such an extent tho target of
malevolent and vituperative attack (on
the part of cotcmpornry scribblers), as
Alexander l'opo. It would seem, in
deed, that on tbo advent of this illus
trious poet, each and all of tlio envious
and envenomed fraternity wo allude
to and who afterwards became im
mortalized in bis Dvnciad cherished
tbo most invelerato feelings of ani
mosity towards the youthful bard, and
simply for tho reason, ni it would
seem, that, despairing to emulato,mucb
loss to oqual, his youthful performances
in tho way of poetry, thoy inconti
nently and unanimously sank into a
feeling ot envy, out of which rapidly
sprang thoso malignant and rancorous
lcchngs so characteristic ot the ignoble
mind. Among tho most conspicuous
ofPopc'sassailants.and by conscqncnce
the most eligible candidates for a place
n his Jruneiail, wero .Dennis, Gildon,
Theobald, Wclstcd, Collcy, Cibbcr,4c.
Dennis and Gildon were, without ex
ception, in tho matter of puro black
guardism, unrivalled as tbo rcvilcrs of
l'opo ; and simply for tho reason given
by thcmselvos, that "be had a con
tempt f'or their writings," and that
his own bad found too much success
with the public." On this account, and
for no other reason, it would scorn Den
nis calla him "a litttlo affoefed hypo
crite ""a great lover of falsehood"
and anrilics to him sundrv snnellations
still worse pronouncing his " Windsor
roresf and "f.ssay on Criticism,
(both written when a mere boy), tbo
former " a wretched rhapsody, oosouro,
ambiguous, affected, temerarious, and
barbarous;" the latter "crude and

such critics aa Addison, Dean Swift,

Dr. Garth, Prior, and the rest, were
each lavish in praise of tboso produc
tions. We might go on quoting overy
sort of scurrilous epithet (perpetrated
under too guise oi criticism aimed at

THE VIRGIXIA VESUVIUS.
A correspondent writing from the
Peaks of Otter to the Lynchburg ( Va.)
jVnri, confirms tlio apprehensions ex
pressed by that papor ol a volcanio
eruption. He says: "Now, we don't
know how you camo to find it out, but
the fact is that we are having an awful
time of it It isn't pleasant to havo
your crockery all smashed, your dog
scared and your cat run off. Our the
ory is that tbo Peaks of Otter is an ex
tinct volcano, and thoro are many con
vincing argnments in support of this
position. To illustrato : A few years
ago Dr. Von Eichburg, of Germany,
w-ho spent moro than fifty yoars in
studying volcanic phenomena, and an
alysed many of the stones lonnd about
Mount Hecla and Mount Vesuvius,
visited tlio Peaks of Otter and Flat-lop
mountain, and averred that tho stones
there found were identically tho same
In character as thoso found in tho
vicinity of tho volcanoes. Ho went
even further, and said that tho Peaks
of Otter was liable at any time to sub
merge I he town of Liberty with an
uvuluHcho of lavn. Pcoplo laughed at
tho Doctor then, but they don't smile
worth a cent latsly. The truth is,
that things hero aro, in tbo language
of a well known tlurkey, 'awful onsar
t in.' Tho shock which shook up Lynch
burg ana waitea mo sinners 01 in at
wicked burg to a sense of their ruined
condition, not only mado things
tremble around thero, but has kept up
its nonsensical gyrations ever since.
Ever- night somebody imagines the
'top rock' is tumbling from its dizzy
height on the peak ; tlio storo is closed,
tho distillery deserted, and ovorybody
wears a sanctimonious face. The vibra
tions arising from this singular phe
nomenon are understood to bo from
south to north, and thero is scarcely
an hour thst thoy aro not felt, the
severest shocks being alwayi at night.

Not in Tin Family. An old Do-!
troitcr took homo two jugs the other cases which they only have in imngina
day, ono labeled " Boiled Oil" and tho : tion. We hnvo scon a person seasick
other "Turpentine.'1 They were placed I in anticipation of a voyage before
in ino oani, ami prviiy noon u wus
noticed that. the old man had business
thero at regular intervals. His oldest
son slyly lollowed him and saw him
Uiko a deep draught from ono of tho
jugs. Tho old man heard a step out
side, and beloro going out ho arranged
thoso jugs according to his artistic
taste, llo was hardly gono whon tho
son skipped in and took a drink from
the jug out of which ho supposed his
father drank. Tbo next moment ho
was sputtering, coughing and gasping,
and tno old man entered and asked :
" Turpentino doesn't agree with von,
does it ?"
J' But I saw you drink It I " exclaimed
tho Injured and indignant son.
"That is truo," said' tho old ni'.n,
wbilo a beautiful smile playod ovei his
face, "but it doesn't necessarily fullow
that tho rest of the family must relish

MOODY. AM D SAISKEY'S FIJI

There wus un intorcsUing timo at the
lubernaclo depot on HaUii-day, soiling
the relics of tbo Moody and Saukoy
meetings. Most of the bidders were
gentlemen who had been prominent in
tho meeting. Tho towels used by the
revivalists brought $5 apiece, and othor
articles in proportion.
Mr. Moody's platform was then an
nounced, and it was concluded to sell
pluttbrm, Bible rust, crimson plush on
tbo pulpit, and tho speaking tube from
the platform to Mr. Moody's room, all
in ono lot. "How much am I bid?
$00, $1001 Shall it bo $110, said Mr.
Shaw to Mr. Stuart ?"
'No, sir," said Mr. S., "I bavo no de
sire to bid against Mr. Bailey, for he
intends turnii

I know
will want this platform."

Moody's cane seat chair went off it
frjfi lo Goorgo II. Stuart, and Snnkey'i
nt tho same prico to Mr. Fields.
ir. Mart arose and stated that
i (hero were many persons prerciit who
j hud come for tlio express purpose of
j purchasing tbo chairs used in (lie body
of tbo building, asd ho suggested tho
propriety oi putting them up at once.
"But before taking up the lot," be said,
"I desire a few of them disposed of
aingly. Now here is one that the com
mittee guarantor was used by General
Grant, President ol tho United States,

twenty, twenty, twenty-iwo and a
half no moro? Ah, yes, Mr. Wana
mukcr bids twenty-fivo dollars It is
Lis!'' and tho announcement was re
ceived with enthusiastic cheering, and
a remark from Mr. Stuart that if he
had known Mr. Wanamaker was tho
oidder, bo would have run it up much
higher. Tbo auctioneer thon stated
that thoro wore two moro chairs be
would now disposo of ono that bad
been used by the president of the ex
ecutive committoo, and the other by
tho Rev. Dr. Newton.
Dr. Nowton's chair was run up to
twenty-five dollars, and knocked down
to Mr. Stuart, while the one bo (Mr,
Stuart) bad used was sold to Mr.
Fields for twenty-six dollars. It bad
first been knocked down for twenty
fivo dollars, but two parties claimed
having mado tho bid, and on being put
up again, Mr. Fields' extra dollar se
cured it. Governor Hartranft's chair
was then taken up, "but thero was not
so much sharp bidding indulged in.and
Mr. Wanamaker easily secured it for
to. ilr. Blaine's chair met with a
similar fate, and was purchased by Mr.
Fields for the same sum. Mr. V ana
maker's chair brought $47.50; Col.
Thos. Scott's $20, and Fred Grant's
got no bid. Tbo other chairs brought
$1 apiece. ...
