While it is true tliat the agriculture of this x-xtensive country is conducted ou u scale unknown in ancient or iu modern times, yet iu these important depart ments of knowledge we ore singularly •jellemit. No other field holds out a more, inviting prospict to the diligent and the enterprising, a hl^-wark which may till the noblest ambition. There is -no closed door to-tho followers of this 1 art. As illustratid from the days of George Washington down to the success of the poor farmer’s boy of the Valley of Virginia with his reaper endowning seminaries, orphans’ homes and univer sity professorships, there is no temporal interest of humanity which exceeds in ithportance that of your pursuit, aud all others it has outlived. “It survives Turk and Time and Goth.” --Upon it the merchant and mechanic, the bench r nd bar'and the forum and camp depend. Indeed, as has been said: “The necessi ty of this art is evident, since tjiis can live withont all others, and no one other without this. The principles of it be ing the principles of all nature, earth, water, air and the son and the apa, ij comprehends of philosophy more than any one profession, art or science in the world besides. ” • , s Let me call your attention to what an able essayist wrote two "hundred years ago. He said: - “Who is there among onr gentry that does not entertain a dancing-master for his chillrcn as soon as they are able to walk, but did ever any father provide a tutor for hia son to instruct him betinn-a in the nature and improvement of that land he inte nd ed to leave him?” That ia a superfluity and thus a great defect in oar manner of edrateon, and therefore 1 could wish (bwt cannot in theta times much hope to •ee it) that one ooitege lavnctr am vani ty Wtra ere and entertained tnuselvcs the stores of tlr merchants on the grounds, the Jitai exhibit and the art gallery on the *cond floor of the pavilion.

The art gulleryoontains exhibits of painting and evaon work, sculpture, fancy needle and kilting.

My parents and the neighbors were greatly puzzled at tho phenomena, bat not more so than were the scientific men who examined me in later years. I was tho wonder of onr neighborhood as I grew np, for while other children in winter went about iu heavy woolens, and shivered with cold at that, I played by the road side wearing thin summer clothing, while my body was flushed with heat and my face suffused with perspiration. When summer came again, and birds sang, and the sun’s fierce rays beat npon the white roads of Alsace, an my little companions frolicked upon the green sward and waded the brook, I cried with the cold and sought warmth indoors. The seasons were just reversed for me.” “But when you touched the ice and snow, were they not cold to you?” wae asked. “Yee, as they would be to you in the summer time. The frozen ground, too, was cold, but the icy atmosphere that swept over it was stifling to me as a siroooo. What was most peculiar, per haps, was the fact that toe lower the thermometer sank the warmer 1 got, and the higher it arose the colder it seemed to me. To prove to yon that it was not imagination with me, feel of my hand,” said the stranger. The scribe touched it. It was as cold ss ice, and the mercu ry stood at 9f> degrees. “I lived in Alsace until abont ten years ago, when I came to this country to work at my trades that of a stone-cutter.
