EDITOR,—Having allowed a few weeks to pass by in order to give you time to recover from the violent shook which you no doubt received on reading my last letter I now write to you again concerning the great, grand and glorious Columbian Exposition. I wish to give you a alight description of Jackson Park, where the Fait is held. Jaokson Park 1 situated on the shore of Lake Mloltigan, seven miles south-east of the City Hall, Chicago, and embraoee 583 acres. Wash. ingtou Park, which is quite close, eon. tains 871 acres. 'Upon these Parks and the Midway Plaieanoe, which is a strip of 80 acres joining the two Parks, 54,- 000,000 had been spent in laying out the grounds and beautifying them with lawns, flower bade, shrubbery, coo., prev- ious to their selection as the World's Fair site. Since being selected, of course, no expense bag been spared, until now Jaokson Park, with a frontage of nearly two miles on the lake, has not a square foot of ground that the baildiuge do not ooaer but what is decorated in the high. est style of agriculture and horticulture, at a cost of over $5,000,000. Entering from the lake by boat we may take a chair on the movable sidewalk and in a minute we speed the whole lengOh of the long pier and are landed safe at the Grand Entrance or Peristyle. This Peristyle, or Greoian Colonnade, ie 500 feet long and has 90 oolumus and a great arch. Along the top is a broad promenade adorned !with 85 allegorical figures of heroic) proportions. Passing through the grand molt we enter the Court of Honor. In the centre is a large basin of water. At the end, near the lake, ie It large gilt statue of the Republio, 66 foot tali, is perfect in symmetry and handeoma to view. The nose of the figure 1 80 inches long ; her forefinger, 45 inches ; and her diadem at night is a blaze of electrio light. A large music hall at the right of the Colonnade and a Casino or restau- rent, at the other. The AIminsteaOion building at the opposite end of the basin ; Idanufaoturee's and Liberal Arte at the right hand side and the Agricultural building at the left. In front of the Ad- ministration building is the grand Columbian fountain, with go many jag of water hurled into the air that the water gushee down in a perfect made over the groat circular stege into the basin below.

In the Lagoon swim swans, duke and other water -fowl, and gliding about like flashes of sunlight are all denoriptions of electrio boats, some very ,fanoy, and as 14, ellont as the stare, not a pinelt of a paddle wheel to be hoard. In the centre of the Lagoon is a large island, literally severed with earn of flowere and shrubbery and dotted with vine-olad summer -lemma, Miles of ¢harming walks wind in ani out in a perfeot maze, A largo part of the island ie styled the hose Garden but the roses were not in bloom ae I passed through. Passing on we OOm0 to the North Pond with the largo Art Gallery at the far aide of ft. Another extension from the Lagoon rune out past the Fish- eries' buildiug to the North Inlet, whore the large Ill]no]e battle ship is moored. There are two other ponds, the North. west Pondbeyond the Art Gallery, and the South Pond atthe other end of the Park. Naar the latter pond is the Indian School, Krupp's Gun Work's, Ole Dairy, and the Convent of La Belida, which is said to be an exact representa- tion of the old Convent in Spain where Columbus wan encouraged by the Franciscan Priest, Father De Marobena, who used his iufluenee in behalf of the explorer with Queen Isabella. Snrroued- ing nearly all the buildings are rich beds of flowers, particularly pansies, in Count• less tints and set in varied forms. Ihave said nothing yet of the size and beauty of the buildings nor of the great exhibit in any of them, but will reserve that for a future infliction. I might here remark that I did not go into any of the settle. menta in the Midway Plaieanae so of course Cannot tell you anytbin g about the mode of life among any of tbose foreigners. Again thanking you, Mr. Editor, I am, Yours Respectfully, T, A. Hmarxer. Brussels, July 6,'93. (MANGE:11EN AT ClIttoCJJ. Last Sunday morning the Orangemen of Brussels and locality to the number of 50, attended service at St. John's ohnroh in this plaoe. The incumbent, Rev. W. G. Reilly, preached a most appropriate and praotioal discourse from the Epistle of Jude, part of 3rd verse "That ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto Ole saints.' The oiroumetanese of the writing of the Epistle and the object of it were pointed out. There has always been a conflict between Troth and error as plainly evidenced in the dark ages. The Reformation was not a cloud buret from a clear sky, it was long in prepara- tion. The steps leading up to it were the revival of learning, the introduction of printing, So. (Religion was purified from sacerdotal authority. Any system founded on a false basis, no matter what efforts are put forth, Cannot be reformed. Rome had attempted with earnest men, Counoile, Societies, dca., the object of which was to reform but all had failed. The Reformation was the rejection of Papal authority. The speaker asked, What right had the Pope of Rome to esserb authority over Britain 7 Pope Gregory, the Great, said "Any Bishop who claimed the title of universal Bishop WAS the forerunner of anti•Christ,"jyet the church shortly after took the .same ground. The points of failure in the system were (1) Intolerance. (2) Sec- tarianism. (3) Sacerdotalism. (4) Pride. Reference was made to the oarsee pronounced against any who dis- agreed with the church. The Reforma- tion brought out the great principles of Justification by Faith ; Sanctification by the Spirit ; and an open Bible. Pius IV said "Bible Societies were Satanic con. trivanoes." Pius IX, "Bible reading was poisonous." When James II ascended the throne of England he was a bigoted Roman Catholic but he promised to re - spent the laws of Ole °Gantry and allow the people to worship a000rding to the dictates of conscience, a short time only elapsed, however, until it was evident hie pledges were 00 use and all eyes Iooked to Holland to William Prince of Orange for aid. "I will maintain" was the motto of the Hones of Orange and to this was afterward added "the Protestant religion and the Liberty of England." These are the principles of the Orange Order to -day. The working of the Order was referred to and the following hietori- oal facts narrated :—The password was first used in Holland in 1085 ; the obli- gation fired taken in England in 1688 ; Go. Antrim (Ireland) Aseooiation organ• ized in 1800 ; the first Orange Lodge in- stituted in September 1705 in Ireland, substantially the same as it exists to -day. The Order has gradually epread until it has reaohed almost every village. The net inoreaee of members in Ontario WeeO for the past year was 2,474, and 15 new Primary lodges wore instituted in the same juriediotiou, The principles of Orangeism were pointed out, (1) Proles. tantient—e protest against erroneous doctrine, infidelity and ignorance. (2) Liberty—of thoughb, cotton, speer The liberty enjoyed by the followers of Obeid was referred oto. (8) Loyalty, Sir John A. Maodonald's ntOeranoe "A British subject I was born, a British alb. jest I will die,".is the watchword of mil - Hone of people. Loyalty to the (Zing o£ Kings is of the greatest moment. Before concluding his discourse, which 000npied over en boar, the reverend speaker spoke of two objections rained against the Orange Order, 1st, It thuds to keep alive a spirit of hostility. He said there must always be hostility between Truth and error and in conteudiug for the Faith spoken of we must be true to prinoiple. 2nd, IO is an effete institution. !;tomo elalma to be the same hence ",Eternal vigilance is the price of Lib. etty." Weide of advice wore spoken as to Ohe conduct of every member of the Order and encouragement given to be true to the obligations taken. Mr. Refily was bearbily thanked for his able effort. The church wee very prettily decorated with flowers, orange lilies and roses 000upying a oouspiottoue plane, Clinton Orangemen wont to Exeter on the 1281, Miss Williams, the evangelist, hold revival eervicoe in the Methodist church, Bellmore, last week.

Exeter, too, was attired in her prettiest dress in honor of the visitors and everything was done to make the day pass off as it did—in a most enjoyable and suoeeseful manner. Main street from end to end was marked with hand- some °robes and bunting stretched across the street, and from nearly every house in the town flags floated from flag- poles or hung from the windows. The Trivet Memorial church chimes were rung the day long, playing sweetly familiar tunes and the National Anthem in particular. The speechmaking was in Snell's grove, addressee being given by Co.
