Every day tees an increase in the bustle and clamor it the Exposition, for the exhibitors have their booths and show-case to prepare, and there is a rare to see w ho ahall sur pass the record of the past, most of all. The management of the Exposition has get a good example to every one by mak ing many ini;orUnt improvement, in clude;; a' cliauje or two that will I-e a genuine surprise to all who visit the Ex IKisition next month. For instance, where the pictnre galleries were last Year a beautiful little concert or lecture hall has been erected. It is entirely pan elled from floor to ceiling with poiished yellow pine, and consequently has an em inently cheerful air which will be en hanced It the disp'.sy of incandescent electric 1 'gbts upon the walL Jiere it is that Professor CYomwcll will give those wonderful lectures villi tiie aiJ ol Lis stcreojticon.

Another uotaMe improvement !s the tew gallery, or enlargement of the old one, In the inain hall, by means of which the total statins capacity of the audito rium in front of the band-stand has been raised to 3 'CO. Talking of bands, it is a f a-t that the musical outlook in Pittsburg for the coin in? season is brighter than ever. There will lie enough music to the superficial square inch in this city in Sep tember, for instance, to satisfy the most greedy music-lover. There will be mel ody and to spare iu the Exposition from Wednesday evening, Sept. "tit, when it will lie t.n.i . n !n. till it closes on Oc tober 2l'd, f.ir Crst the Great Levy and his superb band will lie there, and from Oct. SJ to the Exposition's close the no less renowned Eliis lliooks will bring, bis corps of muMjiaus to keep up the supply cf concerts. There arc few things so generally en joyed the world over as band music Xo lioily seems too exalted, nobody too low ly to appreciate it. President Harrison hardly ever misses a military band con cert iu Washington; (Jucen Victoria, the other day, had the baud of her favorite Grenadier Guards piay for two hours in the garden cf her Osborne palace, while she sat on a terrace near by alone. If a band, and none of the Lest, starts up a marching tune on a city street, everybody knows how staid merchants, and gamins from the gutter strive to get near it. The blare of a brass band will bring a crowd quicker than the eloquent invocation of a lemosthenes. The directors of the Ex position seetn to have had an eye to this fact when they laid such stress upon the improvements in the neighborhood of the baud-stand. Ik-hind the stand itself mirrors have been arranged so as to dis play the brilliautly-uni'ormed musicians to the best anvantage. The balcony op posite lias been carried forward on pil lars and comfortable seats for hundreds provided, supplementing the accommo dations upon tae floor below for those w ho A ant to hear the concerts. It Used to be a common complaint that the:t were not ctioDgh seats in the Exposition, but there wili be no ground for it this jear. t I.I. 1 5 linOOkS. Usually the sitting posture and more or ess perfect stillness are supposed to go :gelher, but there is a plot ou foot in the shadow of the Exposition to upset this notion. At the western end of the Biain building, iu t!ic center of the trim little park a huge merry-go-round, of the most modern pattern, tun by steam, has been erected, and there the uai,ue joys if Cyi;:2 through the air will be distrib uted. Taking everything into considera tion, there will be more entertainment in ihe ExHsi'.ion this season than there has &cen ever bclore. It i hardly necessary io tell anybody at this late day of Levy's Bouderful ability as a cornet ist, or to en large upon the excellency of tie band of a hick he is leader. Eor years the high aotes of levy's cornet have been ringiuj Jirough the world, and nobody has ap proached his mistcry of that iustroment. Besides the couirts, and l'rof. Crom well's lectures which are so graphically and effectively Illustrated with stereoptie views that they lierome practically tours thron;:'.! the world for those who hear them and all the other f pecial features provided by an ingenious and generous management, there are the exhibits cf Pittsburg's products and manufactures, and of her finest imported merchandise; and last, but not least, the very crowds vf visitors, themselves, who represeut lae intelligence, culture, wealth and pa triotism of the great district of which Pittsburg is tiie center. Pittsburg promises to lie looking its rery best about September. The holiday-makers will have returned from shore snd mountain, the great stores will lie spick-and-span from the renovators' bands, and all the theatres will lie open, the parks, which are now a beautiful fea ture of the c'.ty, will lie about to don their Pall Cuery, and (nrhsps a political parade r two will add new flavor to civic bfc. It is only ri-ht to emphasize the statement that Pi:t!urg takes pride in ter new parks; in the grand area of groves, gardens and drives now to lie fouinl at Schenlfy Park, and in Ihe breezy heights aud glorious views to be fouud at Highland Park. These lovely breath Icg sjtj of recent creation, may be reached now by the visitor "with ea.-e, thanks to the various rapid transit lines f cable and electric cars which gridiron the city aud its suburbs.

Senator Quay lias recently bouuM tie ! Matthew Stanley farm of 13") acres in ... - West Brandywine townstiip, toesufr county, Ta., four miles north of Coates viUe. It was, no doubt, his Chester chanty associations which set Senator Quay a number of years ago to thinking of buy ing a Chester county farm, and he had this purpose in mind last tmtmner, when he visited JuJjre Pennyjacker on the western 8!opes of the Valiey Hills. Th Matthew Punier farm, which he Las now acquired 1-y purchase, belonged to Matthew .Stanley, an able Chester county lawyer, who was the guard Jin and a relative of Senator Quay's mother. It was in this Louse that the Senator's mother s;nt her girlhood and lived un til her marriage to Be v. Anderson Beat on Quay, a young Presbyterian minister. On both sides of the house Senator Quay is associated with Chester county, and many of his relatives are still living in Chester and Montgomery counties. The" first Quay in Pennsylvania Al exander bought 151 acres of land in Horsham township, Montgomery county, in 1729. His son Alexander was a sol dier in Captain Ieemer'6 company in the French and Indian war. Another son was Seth Quay, a Judge of the Philadel phia Court of Common Pleas. After the Bevolutionury war the Quays crossed the Schuylkill iritoChester coun ty. The Senator's grandfather, Joseph, married the daughter of -Major Patrick AnJerson, who Lad also been a soldier in the French and Indian War, and who subsequently was the senior Captain of the Pennsylvania Line in the lie volu tion. The Andersons were the first white settlers in Schuylkill township, and some of the family are still living on the tract (J land on the Pickering creek which James Anderson bought in 1713. When James Anderson's w ife went over into the great Chester Valley to visit her father, Thomas Jarmon, she left her bale which was in dne course of time the great grandfather of Senator Quay at home, to be nursed and suckled by an Indian woman. The Senator's grandfa ther, Joseph Quay, is buried in the An derson family burying-ground. Here al so is buried Major Patrick Anderson and the Senator's great-uncle, Isaac Ander son, who, as a member of Congress in IsOj, headed the list of ayes in favor of liberating the blacks in the District of Columbia and prohibiting the importa tion of slaves. An interesting political letter, written by Hon. Isaac Anderson from Harrieburg to Major E. Howell, under date of March i, Wr2, is preserved. It is partly as fol lows : " I am Lappy to inform yoa that there is a considerable portion of the Legisla ture pious Christians of d liferent denomi nations. Soon after I arrived a Presbyte rian Eider fro:u Fayette county invited me to hike lodgings with him, as he has since told me, purely on account of relig ion. I accordingly moved, and abide with him in much friendship, together with another gentleman of said church. It has been remarked that there has been as little immorality in the House of As sembly as hue ever been known. Not withstanding you may be sure that Chris tianity admits room for the best to amend and there is a daily necessity for the ex ercise of all the grace we Lave gotten." The Senator's father, Be v. Anderson Beaton Quav, and his mother, Catharine McCain, were both born in Chester coun ty. Catharine McCain Qiay and Thom as MoKean.tue signer of the Ieclaral:on of Indeindence, probably sprang from the same Chester county family. Thora ea McKean's father, William, spelled the name "McKean," but the will dated De cember 2S, 1730, of the mother of the lat ter, who lived in New London township, Chester county, is signed "Susannah Mc Cain." Senator Quay's father Ander son Beaton Quay the Presbyterian min ister, is still well rememlx-rod for his use ful labors in the Cumberland Valley, as appears from a history of the Presbyteri an church in that valley, and at Beaver, as will be seen by reference to the histo ry of Beaver county. Within a year or so the Beaver county newspapers have spoken of Senator Quay s very liberal contributions toward t'ne restoration of the church of which his father was pastor until the time of his death. These associations will readi ly explain why Presbyterians turned to him w ith their protests against opening the World's Fair on Sunday and account for his having recently seenred the pass age by the United States Senate of an amendment to the World's-Fair appro priation bill requiring the fair to be clos ed on that day. They explain, too, the readiness with which his influence was used to secure the passage of the High License law of Pennsylvania, and subse quently the submission to the people of the proposed prohibition amendmet to the State Constitution. The purchase of a Chester county farm by Senator Quay is the nature of a long contemplated home-coming, a return to s-ents with which his father and mother and their people had been familiar for nearly two centuries. When a boy his father talked to him of these scenes and took him to visit them. Thoy have al ways been the background to his life. There could be no fairer one, for the Brandywine Wimi. tlironeh mefelnu s pren. Frinred with tail gra uid graceful bending fcru. However far afield the Chester coun ty ian or the man of Chester county stock may wander and one such Bayard Taylor, was equally at home in Germa ny, in Egypt, on the Syrian coast, or in Persia he is apt to look back through all his wanderings to the hills, streams and vales of Chester and to return to them, as Taylor did, with increased af fection and appreciation of their beauty. Chester county life and Chester county scenery have been described in the poet ry of Taylor and Buv.hanan Keed and in Taylor's novels. Nearly every hamlet has its traditions of the marches and battles of the armies of Washington and Howe, and it is not surprising if the Chester coantian finds a west that is further west than Ohio bar ren in its lack of historical suggustive ness, or nnbeautiful, since the face of na ture has bet n stamped with a different moid from that which has given its im press to the hills that drain into French Creek, the Pickering, the Schuylkill, or the Brandywine. What value literary and historical as sociations add to the price of real estate is perhajis still an undetermined ques tion. Perhaps it depends something np -on what value the owner of such real es tate sets upon associations. The de scendants of Mad Anthony Wayne hare kept at Paoli his home much as he and his father left it. There Is a room with Wayne's swords, his uniform, his desk, and his furniture. With the exception of Mount Vernon the Lorre of no other Kevoluiionary General has been kept thns intact. The visitor to Wayneebarg is forced to the conviction that the nsnai reveranee and regard for old associates paid by the descendants of the hero of i Stony Point has advanced the price of real estate throughout the entire neigh borhood. There are houses in Chester county in which the bearers of nearly alt the great names of the A merican rev olution, as well as many of the leaders of Gre-t Britain's fones, have slept Whether such associations advance the prise of real estate depends opon w hat store the people set by such things. Sen ator Quay is eaid to have paid f 10,000 for 1 20 acres, or abont f 77 per acre. Took His Word for It At the battle of Seven Pines or Fair Oaks the Fifth New Jersey, in connec tion with the regiments of the Second brigade and others ably attested the nni versal confidence reroscd in them by their commanders. Senator Wade, at Bull Bun, said, '"Give ns a brigade of these Jerseymen and well beat the ene my etilL" Durirg the engagement of Jane 1 a Union soldier liad his leg shot off by a ball from the enemy's artillery. Captain Bamsey ordered one of his men ian Irishman from New Jersey) to assist the wounded man to the rear. Pat, while giving the necessary assistance, asked the man how and where he had been wounded. My leg was shattered by a cannon ball during the last attack," was the re ply. On the way to the hospital a fragment of shell took the already badly wounded man's bead entirely off, unnoticed by Pat, w ho was carrying his comrade in his arms. Upon arriving at the temporary hospi tal one of the surgeons, after looking at the man, said : " What did you bring this man here for?" " Sure, Captain Ramsey told me to," said Pat " Why. the man is dead ; bis head is completely shattered from his body," re turned the doctor. " His head, is it ? Oh, the blaggard ; s'jure and he told me it w as his leg, so he did." X-.c Yvrk Ktcrthr. Willing to Sell Cheap. An amusing incident hapjiened in a SniitlK rn city court the other day. A Jew was on the witneas stand testifying against a negro w ho had stolen a pair of pantaloons from his store. " How much are the pants worth?" asked Jud 'e Thompson. " Well, judge," responded the witness, "it dcpeuils ou the man who wants to buy them. I sell them to one man for six dollars, to another for live dollars, but yoa can have them for four dollars." "Sir," responded his honor, in a dis gusted tone of voice, "I want you to tell me hat those pants are worth." "Ah, judge," said the Israelite, "take 'em for three dollars if four dollars dont suit you." " I.ook here," thundered the judge, "if you don't tell me the exact value of those pants I will send yoa to jail for contempt of court," " Well, then, judge," pleaded the ob tuse witness in a most insinuating tone of voice, "take 'em for two dollars. It is giving them away almost, but you can have 'em for two dollars." By this time the people in the court room were convulsed with laughter, and the judge himself was obliged to forget his disgust and join heartily in the laugh. He did not buy the "pants" how ever. Gret-a Caj. Afraid He Wouldn't Pass. He was a man well along in middle age and was willing to be insured. The agent had prepared his application and turned him over to the searching scru tiny of the accomplished medical ex aminer. "I might as well tell you, doctor, to be gin with, that ours has been a family of fatalities and sudden deaths," said the applicant The examiner looked serious as he re plied : "Why, you seem to be in excellent physical condition.

TbeyJ said he used too much tobacco Mother's father was only eighty-eight Falling down stairs finished him." "And your grandmothers?" "One of 'em had consumption at eighty-:! and died of it ia no time. The other was nipped by a sunstroke at eighty-ma.-. I j, they ell went quick." The examiner did not seem so grave as he asked, "have you any brothers and sisters?" "One sister and two brothers,'- was the answer. "John went out into the mining country when he was seventy two, got into trouble there, called a drunken man a liar and was shot.

Horses are commonly made to carry too heavy shoes, declares Kdwin C. Poweil. The sh.ie is designed merely to protect the hoof, and the lighter it can lie made and still serve its purpose the better for the horse. Horses that are devoted to firm work, and on land w here there are few or no stones, may dispense with shoes, except while the ground is frozen. This would be of great advantage to the horse, to say nothing of the saving in the horseshoer's bill. But most horses re quire shoeing and the shoes worn are generally iron ones. Steel shoes can be made lighter, will wear longer and the first cost is not so much more that it need prevent their being used. Light horses and driving horses should always wear them. For horses of 1100 pounds weight and with well-shaped upright feet, the fore shoes should weigh about one pound each and the hind ones twelve ounces. If four ounces are added to each shoe, let us see what a difference it will make. In plowing, cultivating, mowing, reaping and many other farm operations a horse will walk from ten to twent ymiles a day and advance about four feet at a step. At each step the horse lifts a half pound extra on its two feet, or Oj0 pounds in every mile. In a day's work of fifteen miles the horse would lift fOOO pounds extra, or nearly five tons. If the force required to lift this five tons of iron could be expended in the work the horae is doing much more could be accomplished. In the light of these facts, is it any won der that when young horses begin to wear shoes they soon grow weary, have their step shortened and acquire a slower walking gait? Ouraijo Timrx. Mr. John Carpenter, of Goodland, Ind., says: " I tried Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrho a remedy, for diarrhn-a and severe cramps and pains in the stom ach and bowels with the best results. In the worst cases I never had to give more than the third dose to effect a cure. In most cases one dose will do.
