The Centennial Hymn.
The following are the worda of the Centennial
fcvmn sung by the chorus of nine hundrod
voices:
Our fathers' God! from out whoso hand
The centuries fall like grains of sand,
We meet to-day, united, free,
And loyal to our land and Thee,
To thank Thee for the era done,
And trust Thee for the opening o e.
Here where of old, by Thy design,
The fathers spake tLat word of Thine
Whose echo is tho glad refrain " Of
rouded bolt and falling uhain,
To grace our festal time from all
The zones of earth our guests we call.
Be with us while the new world greets
The old world, thronging all its streets,
Unveiling all the triumphs won
By a*t or tc.il beneath the eun;
And unto common good ordain
This rivalebip of hand and brain.
Thou who liast hore in concord furlel
The war fl^gs of a gathered world,
TV-neath our western siiee fulfill
The Orient's mission of good will,
And, freighted with love's golden fleece,
Send back the argonauts of peace.
For art and labor met in trace.
For b-auty mado the bride of use,
A ^ jflL
AGRICULTURAL
We thank Thee, while withal we crave
The austere virtues strong to save,
The honor proof to place or gold,
The manhood never bought or Eold!
Oh! make Thou us, through centuries long,
In peace secure, in justice strong;
Arcu id our gift of. freedom draw
The safeguards of Thy righteous law,
A~d. cast in some diviner mold,
L t the new cycle shame the old!

The Agricultural Building.
This building illustrates a novel combination
of materials, mainly wood and glass,
and consists of a long nave crossed by three
transepts, each being composed of trussarches
of Gothic form. The nave is 820
feet long by 125 feet in width, with a
height of seventy-five feet from the floor to
the point of the arch. The central transept
is 100 feet wide and seventy-five feet high,
and the two end transepts eighty feet wide
and seventy feet high. This building is
supplied with steam power for the use of
agricultural machinery. The four courts
inclosed by the nave and transepts, and also
the four spaces at the corners of the building,
having the nave and end transepts for
two of their sides, are roofed, and form
valuable spaces for exhibits. The ground
plan of the building is parallelogram 540
feet by 820 feet, covering about ten and onequarter
acres. Sixteen foreign nations re.

serve space in this building, and in the
147,572 square feet which remain, more
than 1,000 American exhibitors are accommodated.
This necessitates special buildings
for the collective exhibits of their natural
resources provided by the different
States.
In addition to the grounds within the
inclosure, an eligibly located stockyard,
twenty-two acres in extent, has been provided
for the display of live stock, which
will be exhibited in a series of shows during
the month^of September, October, and No
vember. Two farms, moreover, of about
fifty acres each, have been suitably planted
for the trials of agricultural machinery.
The following are the official numbers
and classes of articles on exhibition in this
building

j the visitor can obtain excellent views of the
whole interior of this building. The contries
exhibiting are located geographically
in sections, running crosswise of the building
from north to south. The foreign commissioners
have ollices adjacent to the exhibits
of their respective countries. The
Centennial executive ollices .'ill be found
on tbe second floor at the north side of
this building. As the visitor must trawr-e
both sides of each avenue to see the exhibits
in this building, a distance of about eleven
miles must be accomplished.
Visitors to Philadelphia.
The hotel capacity of Philadelphia is below
tbe requirements for the year 187(5.
Though accommodations have been rapidly
increased by the erection of new lrotels and
the extension of older ones, there is still a
deficiency, to meet which the Centennial
lodging house agency has been organized.
This is an association composed of railway
men, who early saw the necessity of bringing
private dwellings and boarding houses
under sotne comprehensive system, whereby
they could be utilized by strangers unable
to find hotel accommodations. This association
has contracted with householders for
their best spare rooms, and have secured
daily accommodations for nearly forty
thousand persons in rooms furnished eqital
to those oi any hotel in the city, with two
meals of superior rudity, at daily prices
of about one-halt those charged by hotels.
Tic plan of operations is as follows:
Coupjns are placed on sale at all the prin

where excursion tickets are sold to Philadelphia,
while likecoupons are sold in Europe.
Each coupon provides for one full day's
accommodation, which day is to consist of*
a breakfast, with meat or ham and eggs, tea
or coffee, two kinds of vegetables, etc.; supper
(or dinner) fa substantial as the breakfast
; and lodgings, in rooms well furnished
and with clean bedding (the same linen
never being used by different persons); parlor
or sitting-rooms for use of guests,
closets, etc., and in most cases bath-rooms;
all without additional cost?the respectability
of the houses in all cases being
vouched for. A visitor to Philadelphia can
purchase coupons for one day or one hundred
days. Previous to his arrival in the
city, he is met on the train (no matter by
what road he may come) by a messenger of
the association, who will locate him in one
of the rooms, and give him a card showing
exactly how to reach it, and have his baggage
forwarded to him in the shortest possible
time, either by street car or by special
conveyance. The coupons will be accepted
by the proprietor of the house in payment
for his accommodations, and unused Coupons
will be redeemed at the central office
of the agency? . - '

The exhibit of India goods in the Main J
building is of much interest to Americans. |
The greater portion is sent from the India i
museum of London. There are specimens of;
the food and other products of India, showing
everything that the natives eat, wear and
use. There are dyes and silks in every possible
form?raw, floss, cocoon, spun, woven,
dyed, etc.?and wild silks. These specimens
are carefully arranged in cases, with neat
labels, showing whence they came. There
are also cases containing native Indian
arms, pottery, metal ware (some of it of
great costliness), lacquered work, boxes made
of porcupine quills, sandal wood, etc. An !
assortment of native fans are exhibited, also
inlaid ivory and native stone work. There
are specimens of the Hindoo antiquities
from Amaravati; also textile fabrics in silk

A Representation of Wealth.
Queensland, the most northern colony of
that immense island known as Australia, is
represented at the Centennial in a specially
interesting manner. A gallery is titted up
with contributions so arranged as to give a
more intelligent idea of that far-off land
than could possibly be gained in any other
way. The Australian provinces, six in
number, form a national group, and though
an apendage of the British crown, they give
evidences of remarkable thrift and energy.
Among other things there is a large obelisk,
twenty-two feet nine inches in height, three
feet three inches at the base, and eighteen
inches at the apex, which is to represent the
amount of gold which has been taken out
of Queensland since the precious metal was
discovered in 1S68, at Gympie, in the central
districts. The obelisk is covered with
burnished gold, and represents a mass of
| gold sixty tons in weight, which has netted
to the colony .?7,000,000, sterling. Around
t the base of the column are rich specimens
of gold quartz. Close to this obelisk there
| is erected a pyramid of Australian tin, in
ingots, twelve feet in height, and weighing
seven tons.
Closed on Sunday.
At a meeting of the Centennial commie,
sioners a vote was taken on the question.

MINERAL COLLECTION.
This collection, to illustrate the mineral
resources of the United States, is under the
direction of Professor Wm. P. Blake.
The principal objects of this collection of
the useful lires and minerals of the country
are to illustrate?
1st. The nature and variety of the.'fmin-.
eral resources of the United States;
ntory. .Nays?Arizona, Connecticut, Dakota,
District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia
and Wisconsin. A motion, then made
by Mr. Latrobe find.), to open the grounds
free to all on Sundays, but to close all the
buildings, including the restaurants, was
carried. So that while the buildings will be
closed 04 Sunday, the grounds will be open
to the public.
Liberty Bell.
The famous Liberty Bell was originally
cast in England, in 1751. It contains the
following inscription:
" By order of the Assembly of the Province
of Pennsylvania, for the State House in
LUBKKTY HJSLilj.
??
the city of Philadelphia, 1752." Also :
" Proclaim liberty throughout all the land,
and unto all the inhabitants thereof."
Before the bell was properly hung, it was
cracked by a stroke of the clapper, and was
recast in this country. It was finished and
hung in June, 1753. In 1777, at the time
the American forces were compelled to
evacuate Philadelphia, this bell, together
with Christ church chimes, was removed to
Allentown, to prevent them being .melted
into cannon by the English ; at the close of
the war it was returned to Philadelphia and
continued in constant use until 1828, when
it was replaced by the present bell. The
old bell now hangs in the old State house in
Philadelphia.
Who Shall Take the Palm ?
It is hard to tell what nation makes the
best show at the Exhibition. Egypt displays
her antiquities of the Pharaohs, her
wonderful collection from among the savage
tribes of interior Soudan, and her artistic
furniture of rare wood, inlaid with ebony,
ivory and silver, executed in the ancient
Arabic style, and people think that nothing
in the Main building excels that. Little
Holland seta up email but strong and perfect
models of her far-famed dykes, and of
all the noted public works within her terri

torv, displays great squares of _ carpet, |
rivaling that of Brussels in quality, and
erects the prettiest commission office in the I
Main building. Brazil puts up a dazzling ,
$30,000 pavilion, suggesting the Alhanibra j
style of architecture. The United States;
makes the grandest display of granite i
work, in the shape of half a dozen immense .
sarcophagi, one of them surniounted by a [
female statue, finely chiseled out of a solid j
mass of granite. Chili builds the most j
picturesque pagoda and Spain the most im- I
posing and tasteful pavilion. China and
Japan contend with each other in striving
to present the best specimen of bamboo
architecture, and to paint on their commissioners'
offices, of the tea-caddie style, the
ugliest old" grannies with bald pates, expressionless
almond eyes and queues that
many a cabbie Jehu sighs for as ne looks at
his wornout whip.
England carries off the palm in pottery;
Germany in showcases, toys and fancy articles;
France stands alone in the matter of
wines, fine groceries and notions in the
clothing line; Sweden defies competition in
exhibiting the perfection attainable by the
carpenters art, and Belgium lakes priile in
the representation, in carved wood, of
Scriptural and other religious subjects, one
of its cabinets having a series of niches extending
around it and containing groups
of wooden statuary representing the marriage
of Joseph and Mary, the annunciation,
Mary's visit to her cousin, St. Elizabeth,
the flight into Egypt, etc.
A Norway iron firm, instead of heaping
up their plates and bars of wrought iron in
an unattractive pile, have constructed of it
a complete model of a Norwegian fishing
boat; even the ratlines are of wrought iron,
the metal composing the cross-lines or footholds
being knotted as neatly as though the
latter were made of hemp. In the display
of iron manufactures both Norway and
Sweden stand very high. ^ The section of
the former is enlivened dy wen execaiea
paintings of picturesque i cenery in that romantic
country. Among these are representations
of Christiana, Oskarshal and
Bergen.
Women's Pavilion.
Mrs. E. D. Gillespie, chairman of the
Women's Centennial committee, gives the
following information concerning women's
work in connection with the Centennial
Exhibition: " Eight thousand one hundred
and seventy shares of stock in the Centennial
<Sb,?t +.
aJyH?b*4
women's
were subscribed through their organization, I
thus securing the sum of $81,700. Besides
this amount $8,600.87 have been contributed
as a free gift to the general purposes of the
Exhibition. $3,620 have been paid by the
women's organization to the treasurers 01
the board of finance on account of the sales
of medals. This brings the contributions
jrom the women of the country to the general
exhibition to $93,980.87. $33,000 were contributed
for the building of the Women's
department.
The building covers an area of 30,000 J
square feet; it exhibits a nave and transept,
each 192 feet long and sixty-four feet wide,
terminating in porches eight by thirty-two
feet. Four pavilions, each forty-eight feet
square, occupy the angles formed by the
na?^?nd transept. The center of the structure
rises twenty-five feet above the exterior
portions, and terminates with a cupola
and lantern, ninety feet from the ground.
The entire superstructure rests on the exterior
walls and four interior supporting
columns. The material is of wood, loofed
over by segmental trusses. It contains in
addition to space for exhibits, toilet and
reception rooms. In it only articles the
result of women's labor are exhibited. The
whole amount necessary for the erection of
the pavilion, $30,000, was raised, and also
about $10,000 for interior decorations.
This portion of the Exhibition proves a
most interesting and beneficial feature of
the great American Centennial celebration.
The U. S. Government Building.

Groat Britain's Display. >
It is evident that no foreign nation has
shown so great a patriotic intermt in the
Centennial Exhibition as Great Britain.
Certainly none makes more determine^
efforts to have a thoroughly representative
exhibit. England is surpasnng herself in the
'character of the goods she has sent for dieplay.
Her exhibit, though 'not so large, is
much, finer than she has ever before made
at any world's fair. It has been collected
and examined with the utmost care, and
for thoroughness an l excellence is a magt
nificent industrial triumph.
In the Main building nearly one^uarter

Accommodations at Philadelphia J
The enterprise arid energy of the average
American nas never been more clearly
shown than in the investment in hotel accommodation
in Philadelphia by capitalists
and speculators. The result of all this will
be for the benefit of the traveling public; in
addition to the well' established hotels, the
various new edifices erected In different
parts of the city have accommodation# for
25,000 visitors, and the charges will vssy
