APPOINTMENTS OF HON JOHN w October 23J Princo October 2Hh Amo October 25th October 27th CENTENNIAL October 20 You may depend upon it the man who tells you that he has seen the Centennial exhibition either deceives himself or de signs to deceive you It is simply beyond human display comprises loo varied a collection of articles many of which are too insignificant for the occasion and serve no other purpose than to delay the visitor and to the eye you art resolved however to rid of a boring by for let we suggest 1 livery should take his wile with him aud make her his treasurer Women as a beat all creation iu the management of their husbands and if this suggestion ia adopted the fortunate tourist will be able to congratulate himself upon having all the sights at about half price 2 a through ticket by the most direct route and avoid as you would the devil himself the temptations and trials of u free ticket This must be accepted in faith upon the virtue of my say so If it can be contrived so as to avoid slop ing in Baltimore dont forget to return your prayers for a happy ancc from the most abominable system of that ever damned a commu otherwise worthy of favorable consid Indeed system is a misnomer when applied to a practice which extorts from strangers the very highest price for the smallest return either of courtesy or odation Ford of Richmond has just opened a house here and I hope will improve the character of Baltimore in this respect 4 Unless other arrangements have been made the best thing one can do is tc go din rect to the Bingham House on reaching Philadelphia I this solely in the interest of the traveler and not in the nature of a puff I am certan that I have never seen a better managed hotel in my life or one whose charges are more reason able White servants are employed in every department and such ia the discipline among them that a wish is hardly ed before it seems to have been anticipated against rebels at the South or usurpera and at the North The he ed was i a state of now but having ihe terms of surrender and dictated by the North wad entitled to right of meat guaranteed by the Constitution and every Federal soldier WUB in honor bound to secure to the South these with his ballot and if needs be with his life 1 tells you he continued dot der same measure dot measures nia and Massachusetts shall measure Georgia aud South Wu have this made large additions to our block of CARPETS AND moro the largest and best over offered iu and embracing in WATER WATER WATER Senator of also His manner u very much like 11am Colonel Nicholas Smith made a excellent speech but once or twice Any pares a speech may very missed cue man who pre be prepared to least it is a failure It defeats its own aim and confuse the brain In this respect at It defe There are many interesting and instructive objects which deserve careful study but one must reach them through an immeasurable mass of gewgaws and rubbish that would discredit a decent This is said in no disparagement of the exhibition and I Lope that the managers will not be dis by this friendly suggestion but treasure it with all other suggestions they have received against the next centennial It is due perhaps to the error indicated that we have so little in detail of the great exhibition The papers have prudently abandoned as impracticable all attempts to describe it and admonish their readers that to be appreciated it must bs seen Bat as I said before it cant be seen and thats an end of it To the student of human nature the ex presents a broad and almost field of observation and at no point more notably than the art Here the snobs enter their seventh heaven and with notebooks and eyeglasses lan guish in affected ecstacy over works of art which they have neither the learning to un nor the taste to appreciate The grossness and stupidity of some of their are incomprehensible and would be amusing were they not annoying and disgusting to the more modest class of peo consult their catalogues and keep their counsel It has become a favorite trick with the wags to exchange the num bers of pictures and nice times in ten the snobs are caught Bat they never know it and are well satisfied with them selves They belong to the class so aptly described by Bev J D Keiley as the big I and the little you In this respect the women are even worse than the men from which you must infer much more that is sickening than I can express I have observed both so closely that I can and is fulfilled and the of fare though in my judgment a secondary consideration to other comforts is surpassed by no hotel within my knowledge The bookkeeper and clerk Mr J N Brugh is a thorough adept in his business and one of the men ive meet with in world who can answer a questions at once amiably and to the satisfaction of the guests Be attentive and dont have occasion to ask the same question twice for you mny be sorry for it G Dont make a fool of yourself by run ning around with a notebook in your hand Irving to take down the name of every ob ject you see A curious arithmetician has intimated that just to look one minute at every object in the exhibition would require within a fraction of twentynine years 7 from all intoxicating drinks is the basis of endurance tal and physical To do the occasion or ones self justice there will be need of all the endurance and all the presence of mind that one can summon Observe these rules a ail you need not fear fail Col Smith is exceedingly handsome though somewhat too mar ried Alias Ida ti circumstance io which the newspapers attached more impor tance than to his speech Tho band played Maryland Dixie and several other Southern airs all of which were loudly cheered The will make n most determined fight for Philadel phia and not without reason for hope of success I have seen several political banners here p Baltimore and other places but none so handsome as the one which floats f om the headquarters of your district club What ever defect there may he in Captain portrait Ja justice to the artist be it said it should be ascribed to the photograph fom which it was painted It was gotten up without the knowledge of Captain
