New Yoax, June 11th, 1876. OPINIONS on Tim CENTENNIAL. As Decoration Day was appointed for the opening of the Bankers’ Building, at the Exhibition in Philadelphia, the directors of most of the large banks gave their clerks a holiday for forty-eight hours, and paid their expenses to the Centennial. This was 'a treat ’ to men who are tied down to the desk the year round, and about 200 of the gayest men rode off in the bright morning with their wives and sweethearts, to do the exhibition. Brown Brothers, one of the largest banking firms in the city, gave each of their married employees $50,'and' the’single sones SS"), so that all mightlitive _a taste of pleasure. _ An- other firni provided a drawing-room car. for . their employees. Such liberal dealings char- acterize firms of standing, ..who keep. their trusted clerks for_years, till their customers know the very peculiarities of their hand- writing and find of. theletters, and would hardly recognize correspondence coming in any other way. 'But the Centennial did, not seem to im- press all its visitonfiii an extremely favorable way. One of the young men. who went in this excursion expressed himself without re- serve on his return as to, the value .of the Exhibition, and his='wuihrks'are-givcn for what they are worth. , .. _. f ' ” See it all I" he broke Out in "answer to a question, “I saw it all in six hours. Went through all the --building, took-~3two lunches, and was back inNew Tame next morning. In my opinion, the Centennial is the biggest- F-r-o-d ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting people. There is hardly a thing to be seen that one can't find in the Broadway shop- windows. There is an enormous display of fine dry-goods and furniture, nothing better than we see every day. There isn’t $50,000 worth of jewelry in the whole exhibition, and not more than 2,000 pictures. The machin ery is wonderful, and the buildings are large and. showy. The Women’s Pavilion is nearly as large as any of them, and was full of bric- a-brac, which my lady friend with me said was rather cheaply dOne." And he expressed in other language that he didn't want any more'Centennial in his. This is only an opinion, and, ._88.JOSII Billings says, opinions are like: other vegetables, worth what they will fetch, but it may console the few who are prevented from seeing the Cen- tennial, to know that they have not lost all there is in the world by not going. I But, notwithstanding the adverse opinion of these bank clerks, I say the Centennial is a big thing; and one which everybody ought to see. There are art pictures in plenty, and the best in the world; there is statuary; there is machinery; there are goods from every country in the world, and there is everything that can delight and instruct. It is precisely what was intended—an exhibition of the world's progress; and whoever. does not see it, misses an exceedingly good thing. But don'tlet,_it cost you too much. There are not enough peOple in Philadelphia to stock the boarding-houses, by a long way; and there are rooms for an hundred thousand more than are there now, or will be there at any time. Pay no high-prices. Stop by the day till-you get what you want at the price you want, and then settle down quietly to see what is to be seen. The hotels and boarding-houses are more anxious to have you than you are to have . theni.: There has not been that rush that was expected, nor will there be. Six months is a long time; and it will spread out the exhibition tolera- bly thin, so far as people in attendance is con- cerned. There is no necesity for paying exorbitant prices. One can live in Phila- delphia this summer as cheaply as in any other city, if one knows how. The secret is : wait. Go till you find what you want ; and don’tbe frightened by any reports of crowds. There is no such thing. There are more rooms than people, and there will be an end of the exhibition. But go, by all means. It is worth..tlie_going:ten»thousand miles to . . ism-flamen- ‘. M ,ey ‘ gtheécouiit‘ry somewhere, or people-commotion}. inch indulgences as are offered by our metropolitan shops of luxury. At a fashionable furnishing-house, where the designs are always ‘ in the best of taste, Iwas shown some of the new fashions for decorating houses. The heavy hand- wove Japanese brocades,“ in rich, subdued colors, made of raw silk, mixed with gold, were certainly very handsome for chair cov- erings, and looked as if they mightbea joy forever, like all truly beautiful things. They were of ordinary width, but when the attend- ant mentioned the price—only fifteen dollars a yard—awe took possession of my soul. “ How much would be thequantity sufficient for upholstering a. set .of furniture cost P” I ventured to inquire. “From one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars,” was the answer. And I didn’t ask any more questions. But the dealer wenton to‘show his satin, figured with gold embroidery, at $15 a yard, with which he was to cover the walls of a large room in place of wall-paper, and I _ thought of the country suffering from stagnation of business, and grew sick. This is no exagger- ation,'and no more are some ' different facts with which I am going to contrast this. autumn or our LIFE. At a desk in the room~wherc this letter is written, sits one of the best stdck actors in the city, who two months ago was receiving a salary of $60 a week, with steady employ- ment for the summer. In2 :an. :evil .hour, in hopes of making a big success, he was per- suaded to give it up and go “in a star part," ’ as it is called, in the country, at a much larger salary, to be sure, but still on a ven- ture. It was not'a foolish thing to do, in fact his friends congratulated him when they heard of it, that he had a chance to distin- guish himself, and make a reputation like Mulberry Sellers, which would make him rich for life. But the play proved not a suc- cess as was anticipated, and the man was left out of employment, with a family on his hands, and not a stroke of work to be had. The companies are all full for the. season, and the poor man sits there within reach, penniless, living on one meal a day, of bread and water, supplied through the chance gift of friends, lightheaded with faintness, and unable to keep his children from hunger. Farmers, who gather your families round a plentiful table daily, if it is ever so plain, consider yo’urself fortunate. POLITICAL. Governor Tilden's friends are -in hot water. About five hundred papers, demo- made, of c0urse, in the West and South, re- ceived an ofier from an advertising agency in this city to publish as “quoted matter,” five notices urging Tilden for the presidency. The papers receiving them who: were op-- 'posed to the Governor, immediately raised the bowl that he was attempting to subsi- dizé the press, and I3. pretty little row it raised. The anti-Tilden papers took it. up venomously, and charged the old fox with all sorts of corruption and fraud, laying par- ticular stress upon the fact that the advertis— ing agents who sent out the proposition were , republicgns, and wanting to know what rc- publicnns had to do with democratic nomin- ations. [Now the facts are these: Bates do Locke, 34 Park Row, New York, are adver— tising agents. Their business is to place ad- vertisiug in news-papers for whosoever de- sires it, for which they get a commission from the newspapers." They advertise, just as a shoemaker makes shoes, for whoever comes to then-Jew. Gentile, Christian or Pagan. - It happened one morning that a customer of theirs who is a democrat, came into their other, and wanted five notices offered to five hundred papers, urging the nomination of the Governor. They did it, just as they would have sent out five notices of a piano, or a scwiug— machine. Probably Gov. Tilden knew nothing about it. Probably it was the tribute a friend wished to pay him. But be that as it may, the people opposed to him have made avterriblc howl about it, and it has made more talk than any one incident of the campaign. _ On the ‘rcpublican side there is a compara- tive calm. The iepublicans' Of New York want a new man, and a new man who can carry the country, and they are not very particular who he is. They want a man wh0 can beat‘ the democracy, and give the country a decent administration, and that man they willsupport. They have no choice beyond this. ’ Tun STEWART ESTATE. My advice is, don‘t get rich. I never will, for it isn’t safe. One never knows what is to come of his money after he is gone. AI- exander T. Stewart died worth forty millions; and be disposed of it all, as well as it could he done, before he died. But now comes a dozen or more people who claim that they are cousins of the old mam; \aud they insist that the will by which he disposed of his property was forced out of him by his wife and Judge Hilton; and, in short, that they are entitled to their share as relatives. And they have employed lawyers, and have com- menced suit to break the will; and there is aprospcct ahead for lively business. The probability is that others will get their fingers in this very. rich pie before it is done with. It is stated that he had relatives which he never publicly acknowledged ; and that they and their friends are also after their share of the dead merchant’s money. He never had any children, and cobsins—first, second and thirdeare springing up all over the world ; and if the will of the dead merchant can be broken, there is enough to make them all comfortable. Lawyers have‘been found to take held of it on speculation, for they have adouble chance. It is probable that Mrs. Stewart and Judge Hilton will pay very handsomely to buy them off, for they had better pay than submit to the annoyance of legal worry. The lawyers will get handsome pickings. The claimants may, or may not, get something. But one thing is tolei'ably certain : the estate will be shor.n materially. The old man fought, struggled and worried all his, life to have ascorc of people, of whose existance he was ignorant, pulling his bones out of his grave and fighting over them like so many hyenas. Such is life. TIIE DULL SEASON. It is not too much to say that the social state of the city resembles that of a mining town in the Sierras. The clubs are well nigh deserted, and business is—wliere, nobody knows People are going or gone to the country; they ‘went before May-day, indeed, and the newer and cheaper the place that receives them the better. Families are fond of finding new country places that nobody in town knows of but themselves, and the season after they will be heard pluming themselves on discovering a haunt with all the advanta- ges a country place was ever known to possess. The weather is delightful in New York, in pity to those who can’t get away. But folks are not going to theatres, or to clubs or gatherings as they used to in the good old war days, which a few are begining to look back to, when, if prices were high, there wasa dollar and a half in a man’s pocket to pay them with. There is no dollar and a half now- that is within reach of anyone. There is no buying or selling, there is nothing doing in property, and everything is as bad as it can 'be. The 'West is prosperous, but it. does not seem to aflect the Eastern cities at all. There is a great many people in town, going and com— ing from the Centennial, but they are not here to trade: They leave no money in the city, and the public shop keepers are in de- spair. They had hopes of the Centennial, and now that that has failed them they feel that the bottom has dropped out for certain. ’I‘IIE MUSTANG RACE. Parker, the California rider, made another attempt to ride 305 miles in fifteen hours, and failed. It was a very pretty game, so the betting men think now. He failed to do it on his first trial, but sporting men who bet upon him believed that he could do it, and that he failed purposely to get bets on a second attempt, and, therefore, they backed him more freely than before. As he failed this time they believe he and his mustangs to be frauds, and that they have been nicely taken in and done for. They were betting on another man’s game, and have lost all around. Parker was taken off his horse stone blind, but he recovered his sight an hour afterward. Probably his eyes are good enough this morning to count bjs winnings, There are a great many men in New York _on a horse-race again. PIETRO. A Famous Violin. Mr. R. D. Hawley, of this city, has recent_ ly become the proprietor, by purchase, of the remarkable violin known to ‘ connoisseurs as the “King Joseph"—the handsomest and most perfect specimen known of the violins of Joseph Guamerius. This violin was the gem of the celebrated Plowden collection, in England, which becamerdispersed by sale, upon the death of Mr. Plowden; and has been for the past eight years in the possession of Mr. John P. Waters, of Brooklyn, N. Y., from whom Mr. Iiawley bought it on private terms. Upon the testimony of Vieux temps, the eminent violinist, who is well acquainted with its merits, the ,“King Joseph" is not only in perfect condition, 'but has the richest and most ' powerful tone known to violin critics. It is Of _ the same pattern. as the Paganini “Guamerius,” which has been kept since Paganini’s death in the museum . at Genoa, Italy. M. Vicuxtempts, who played upon both instruments, says that the, ,“King Joseph” has the finest tone of the two ; a circumstance which may be attributable to the fact that» the Paganini violin has-not been playedlupon since his death, except upon rare occasions, when it has been permitted its a special favor to distinguished artists. The “King Joseph” was sold in England £700 sterling—‘thevliighest price ever known to be paid for a violin. Mr. Hawley has also purchased from Mr. Waters an admirable Carlo Bergonzi violin in perfect condition. The violins of this maker, who was a pupil of Stradivarius, are yearly appreciating in value, and partake of the characteristics of both the Stradivarius and Guarnerius instruments. We congratulate Mr. IIawlcy upon the ownership of two such valuable specimens of eminent 'Creniona makers. Mr. lIawlcy also obtained with the Guarnerius an original Tourte bow, from the Plowden collection—Exchange. Ireland wants separate rooms of Iicr own at .‘our Centennial. ’Certainly.

Whelen d: Co.,Bankers,:309 Walnut THE STYLISH CHURCH. Well, wife, 1'vc been to church to-day-—bl3¢!n to a stylish one—— And, seein‘ ymi can’t go from home, I’ll tell you _what was done : You would have been surprised to see - what I saw there today ; The sisters were fixed up so fine they hardly bowed to pray. I had on these coarse cloths off mine, not much the worse for wear, But then they knew I wasn’t one they call a millionaire ; So they led the old man to a sent away back by the door ; ’Twas booklcss and uncushioned, a. reserve seat for the poor. Pretty Soon in came a stranger with gold ring and clothing fine, ' They led him to a cushioned seat for in ad- vance of mine. I thought that wasn’t exactly right to seat him up so near, . When he was young, and I was old and very hard to hear u But, then, there’s no nccountin’ for what some people do ; The finest clothing now-a-days oft gets the finest pew. ' But when we reach that blessed home all an- defilcd by sin, We’ll see Wealth beggin’ at the gate while poverty goes in. I couldn’t hear the sermon, I sat so far away, So, through the hours of service, I could only “watch and pray,” Watch the doin’s of the Christians sitting near me, round about ; Pray that God would make them purc within as they were without. \Vhile I sat there, lookiu’ alI around uponfhc rich and great, I kept thinkin’ of the rich man and the bog. gnr at his gate ;‘ ' flow, by all but dogs forsaken, the poor beg- gnr’s form grew cold, And the angels bore his spirit to the mansions built of gold. How, at last, the rich man perished; and his spirit took its fiiglit From the purple and fine linen to the home of endlessnight ; There he learned, as he stood gazin’ at the beggar in the sky, “ It isn’t all of life to live, nor of death to die." ‘ I doubt not there were wealthy sires in that religious fold Who went up from their dwellings, like the Pliarisee of Old, Then returned home ‘from their worship with a head uplifted high, To spurn the hungry from their door, with naught to satisfy. Out I out with such professions ! doin’ more, tO-day, To stop the weary sinner from the Gospels shinin’ way Than all the-books of infidel—than all that has been tried Since Christ was born at Bethlehem—since Christ was crucified. They are How simple are the works of God, and yet how very grand I The shells in ocean caverns! the tlowe:s on the land .' He gilds the clods at evenin’ with ‘the gold right from His throne - _ Not for the rich man only ; not for the poor alone. Then why should man look down on man because of lack of gold ? thy seat him in the poorest pew because his clothes are old ? A heart with noble motives—a heart that God has blest Maybe beatin’ Heaven’s music ’neath that faded coat and vest. I’m old ; I may be childish ; but I love sim- plicity. I love to see it shinin' in a Christian's piety. Jesus told us, in his semen on J udea’s mountains wild, “He that wants to go to Heaven must be like a little child.” Our heads are growin’ gray, dear wife—our . hearts are beatin’ slow. - In alittle whiievthe Master will callfor us to go. When we reach the pearly gateways, and look in, with joyful eyes, We’ll see no stylish worship in the temple of the skies. _ A Curious, But Good Sermon. A correspondent of the Methodist Advocate, says: on my rounds of family visits, I found in the possession of one sister, Elizabeth Johnson, aged eighty-eight years, the follow- ing Sermon, which she has retained on a small scrap of paper for ’over sixty years; it is printed in the old style: - A Sermon on. the word MALT, preached by the Rev. Mr. Dodd, in a hollow tree” The Rev. Mr. Dodd, a very worthy minis- ter who lived afcw miles from Cambridge,had rendered himself Obnoxious to many of the Cantabs by frequent preaching against drunk- enness, several of. whom, meeting him on a journey, they determined to make him preach in a hollow tree which was near the roadside. Accordingly, addressing him with great ap- parent politeness, they asked him if he had not lately preached much against drunken- ness. On his replying in the afiirmative,they insisted that he should now preach from a text of their choosina. In vain did he remon- strate of the unreasonableness of expecting him to give them a discourse without study and in such a place; they were determined. to take no denial, and the word “Malt” was given him by way of a text, on which be; im- mediately delivered himself as follows; “_-Beloved, let me crave your attention. I' am a little man, come at a. short warning to preach a short sermon from a small subject, in an unworthy pulpit, a slender congrega- tion. Beloved, my text is ‘ Malt.” I cannot divide it into words, it being but one. I must, therefore, of necessity, divide it into letters, which I find to be these, four MALT. M, my beloved, is Moral; A, is Allegorical; L, is Literal; T; Theological. The Moral is set forth to teach you drunkards good man- ners; therefore, M—masters, A—all of you, L—listen, T—-fo my text. Allegorical is when one thing is spoken and another meant. The thing spoken of is malt, the thing meant'is the juice of malt, which you Cantabs make, M—your master; A—your ap~ parel; L—your liberty, and T—your trust. The literal is, according to the eflects that it works; and these I find to be of two kinds ; first, in this world; secondly, in the world to come. The effects that it works in this are, in some, M—murder; in others, A—adulte- ry: in all, L—looseness of life; and in some, T—treason. The effects that it works in the world to come are, M—misery; A—anguish; L—lamentation; T—torment. And so much for this time and text. I shall improve this, first, by way of exhortation. M—masters; A—all of you; L—leave off; T—tippling; or, secondly, by way of excommunication, M—masters; 'A—all of you; L-‘—look for; T—torment; thirdly, by way of Caution. take this—a drunkard is the annoyance.“ modesty, the spoil of civility, the destruction of reason, the brewer‘s agent, the ale-house benefactor, his wife’s sorrow, his » children’s trouble, his own shame, his neighbor’s scofi, a walking swill-bowl, the picture of a beast, and the monster of a man.” _————~-.--‘. _ .
