pecially on a dry evening, I know of
several persons who enjoy this last walk
immensely.
There is quite a feeling here in re
gard to Gene's quotation and remarks
on "J's" article. The general verdict is
that lie has made a fool of himself and
deserves to be kicked out of his posi
tion, he certainly cannot understand
the English language very well, or the
ulesof syntax, or he would not have
committed the stupid blunder that he
did, but, then, he may be either an ass

Wilcox, Aug. lst.
Mr. Editor. What is the matter
with that little "cuss" of the Demo
crat that lie makes such an unpro
voked attack upon your humble cor
respondent. He makes a great ado
about the sentence which he quotes in
his last week's issue, viz: "A. T. Al
drich has some specimens of millet
raised on his farm, one mile north of
this place, on land that was never ma
nured, five feet high." Xow, I do not
pretend to be a grammarian, but I
can bring authority that tlie sen
tence is correct, and that he lias
shown himself an ignoramus in the
matter, but suppose it bad been in
correct what business was it of his.
I find 110 fault with his grammatical
criticisms, but why should lie attack
me simply because I have given you
a few local items that I thought might
be of interest to some of your readers.
am of the same opinion of one of
his friends (a Democratic friend too)
who made the expression the other
night, after reading the great literary
ellort on "J," "well, Jinicr nitues a
il d fool of himself some times. We
quote a specimen of Miller's pure and
unadulterated English:
Who is 'J' ?" If he would only oust aside
the ciouk of modeslv and show himself in his
true colors, 1111 appreciative public wuuld pro-
sent mm Willi 11 leniner nieiiiii. wo venture
the opinion that lie Is 1111 illiterate, loud
mouthed blatherskite, who tiuiiKs that u
thieving Republican Is prcleruule. tu 1111 lion
est Deiuocrul."
If he is very
anxious to know who
"J" is I trive vou full permission to
inform him, if he calls oil you, and if
he wishes a personal interview and
will drop me a line I will call upon
him the first time I come to Ridgwny,
and if an appreciative jmblic should
see fit to present me with a leather
medal I will try to receive it with due
appreciation. Furthermore, be ven
tures the opinion that I am an "illiter-
ate,loud-mouthed, blatherskite." Now
is that the opinion a gentleman would
venture to make public of one lie does
not know, and who has not said a word
to or about him in any way? In my
humble opinion be has made a very
small well, a mule's father of him
self; he says further that I think a
thieving Republican is preferable, etc.,
now how does ho know that? is he
gifted with reading the thoughts of
persons at a distance? 1 certainly did
n6t mention, politicsjn my little com
munication to the Advocate, that he
finds so much fault with, but, to dist
ills mind nnd set bis little heart at
rest 011 the subject I will say that 1
think an honest Republican is prefer
able to any wire-pulling ril el-t-yini a
thizlngshani-reform Democrat. I ex
pect be will give me, and my mutilated
English, fits, but T will give him
due notice that.! shall not notice
him again, nt least not through
the newspapers, being so Illiterate I
do not consider myself capable of cop
ing with acol'cge-bred classical scholar
like the editor of the Dnnnnrat.

Recently two gentlemen from Elk
were doing the exposition, we will
call them, Cnpt. and Lieut. The ("apt
favored the steam ear transportation,
to and from the t'ciiteiMiial, while
the Lieut, patronized the street car
iu the evening. and at last induced the

assured him that it Wits all right am

this time a heavv up grade was
reached and an extra horse was put on
to haul up. Whereupon the Cap!
again broke forth. "I'here! this team is
giving out, and another horse has to
be sacrificed to your thirst for a long
ride font little money; only costs a
cent more to go by steam; wish I had
some beer: vou'l never catch me on

ire those lights yonder?" Someone
informed him that those were lamps
on the bridges across the Schtivkill.
Cnpt. "Not at the river yet, and those
poor horses have hauled us for miles
up and down the streets; I'm dry."
Here the river was crossed in silence,
and at the other side tlie horses were
quickly changed. Again the Cnpt.,
went for the Lieut. "See here Lieut,
it is a d-il outrage for you to travel
this way; four regular horses and one
extra, just played out to take us home;
we must lie near Jersey City by this

"Supper at midnight and the bar

no beer. Where were you raised?" In
a few minutes the car stopped again,
and the Cnpt. supposed allot her
change of horses was to be made, he
was excited, and rushed across the car
to the conductor. "Now hold on Mr.
Conductor, don't do it; don't sacrifice
any more horso-llcsh to gratify that

CENTr.NNlAt, I.KTi nt.
(From our Special Correspondent.)
Philadelphia August 21st, 17(1.
Dhaii Sin. Since my last writing
there has been a decided change in
the weather, enabling centennial
visitors to enjoy the day, and rest at
night. The prospect for hotel keepers
brighten ns the season ndvances, for
now are the days for which thousands
have been wailing, to visit the e.
position, and every day increases the
number of arrivals.
Thus far my letters have only con
tained promises, and items of tlie day,
but I will to-day give you notes of
some exhibits, and will begin with
tlie revolutionary State of
MKXK'O.
The first thing which strikes tlie
visitors to the Mexican exhibit, in the
Main building, is the lack of nil at
tempt at false show. Everything is
neatly arranged, but there is no glitter.
One of the first things to attract your
attention is a rough mass of silver in
circular form valued tit twelve
thousand dollars, nnd said to be the
largest piece of pure silver in the
world. The exhibit of rough and pol
ished marble is quite extensive in
cluding some beautiful f-'peeimens of
clouded and mottled marble finished
for table tops, and evidently are ap
preciated, for nearly every piece is
labeled "sold." The exhibit of native
ores is quite extensive, and of native
woods very huge. In the last
mentioned collection is a section ol
the root of a Mahogany tree, seven
feet and three inches iu diameter.
The other principal exhibits in this
doparfement are raw and manufac
tured tobacco, cigars, fruits, codec,
pices, grain, rocks, irons, sugar.
wines, medicinal plants, and textile
fabrics, of the last the exhibit i- sin.-ill
mil of a quality greatly inferior to
the same class of goods from other
countries, in the department of art
Mexico has seventy-two pieces ol
tatimry and paintings. Of statuary
there are only live pieces, each in
piaster. Evidently the Mexicans are
not sculptors, in oil paintings there
are a lew old paintings, dating buck
to the sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turies and owned by the National
Academy. The death of Goliath, by
Ignaeio Vozqttez, is one of tiie most
notable works in this department.
in tlie foreground is represented the
huge body of the slain giant, with the
youthful and victorious David grasp
ing the enormous sword of his slain
eiieinv, and in the background the
tleeing host, whose champion ha.
l'allen. There are other painting!-
worthy of mention, but space will not
permit description. One lady Mrs. C.
DcMayosa Guadalupe has seven paint
ings on exhibition and is the only
Mexican artist who has an exhibit;
the National Academy owning every
otherpicturo iu the collection. Mexico
has no exhibit in machinery Hall.
AitaiiM' im: Ki:ri'iii.K'.
In this department in the Main build
ing, one is first attracted by the display
of robes and blankets which are of ele
gant workmanship, and worthy of
notice. Specimens of printing and
book binding are exhibited which are
highly creditable, and the display !
fancy needle work, and of line woven
materials is excellent. Leather and
leather goods are extensively represen
ted and indicate good workmanship in
that line.
The display of grains, nut s and spices
is creditable, as is that of native woods,
and minerals. A display of fancy hair
work is here, which is very far below
par. as compared with other exhibits
in the same line. There is quite an ex
tensive display of ancient pottery, and
other relics of ancient races which are
interesting to the gciireral sight see-er.
A bust of (.Jen. Grant, worked in
colored wires, Is a very ingenious piece
of work, and exhibits patience and
skill. An inlaid chess table ot con
siderable merit in wood Work is in
this department, if you wish to pur
chase a line paiiania hat here, you will
find it. prices ranging from seventy-
live to three hundred dollars, I did
not purchase.
This Republic is represented in the
art department by thirty-four oil
paintings, a few of them being fair
peeiniens of art. The murder of Dr.
Varela by Alvaroso Barros, and the
burning of the steam packet America,
by B. Castillo, being two of the most
attractive. Although some 'native
ceiies bv Boneo are good. Like
Mexico, the Argentine Republic pro
duces no sculptors, not even making
the approach to thut art which Mexico
has, mt even a piece of plaster statu
ary being found in the department.
With this brief descriptions of the
exhibits of two minor countries I will
close. In my next I will give you
China and Japan.
Yours truly.

The Warren Mail says: Last Mon
day, August 7th, Judge Scolield went
to "the Recorder's ollice on business.
Returning be had to puss in front of
the new Court House walls. The ma
sons have a runaway of plank on
which they wheel brick and mortar
trom the ground to the top of the base
ment wall. To let people pass over in
stead of crawling under this tracfc,
they have a temporary plank walk.
Judge Scolield walked up from the
ollice side and was coming down the
plank this side when by stepping on a
piece of brick or mortar or in some
way which he can hardly understand,
his right ankle gave out letting him
fall to the ground. He was assisted
home and Drs. Bartholomew and
Hazeltine were called. They found
his ankle badly wrenched and two
small bones broken. It was accord
ingly splintered up in regular broken
legged style and the Judge is Hat on
his back, where you don't find him
very often, with a painful hurt, re
quiring some time to cure. Conse
quently he won't "stump it" for any
enndidateju.-t at present.

Tlie Detroit Free 1'resx having
boasted that the Democrats of .Michi

be contented with nothing less than a
clean sweep, the J'ot cruelly declares
that, when Democrats are contented to
be clean in any way they must indeed
be wrought up to a high pitch of en
thusiasm. A Tcrre Haute (Ind.) despatch
says the largest night rally but one
ever held here was the Independent

in the procession, audit large body of

served eleven terms in the Sew York

support Tiidcn, and he intends to light
it out on that line.
The Stenbcnville (labile, which
has heretofore supported Beter Cooper
and his greenback platform, now
comes over to Tiidcn because it inter
prets his letter to mean soft money.
