THE GREAT SHOW AT THE WINDY CITY. emcee°, ()censer 9th, tem. "Oh, boys, come here and see this, fseak !" gleefully called a youth to some companions the other day. The "freak" was the oldest locomotive in the country—the pioneer of all locomatives and is a part of the Kew -York Central Railroad exhibit. It is a queer -looking object with its clumsy little wheels and jerky piston, as compared with the modern, up-to-date railroad parapher- nalia exhibited at the Fair. , The young rnen inspected the relic, laughed at and ridiculed it to their hearts' content and strolled aveity, leaving beihind them by the old engine the solitary figure of a- small, elderly gentleman. He was at- tired in an immaculate_ suit of the glossy black broadcloth our grandfathere wtre and which has been so effectually driven out by eauberant English goode. His -beard, which was white as snow, was, like his speech, clean and precise. His collar was of the an- cient choker kind and neat as a new pin. Ile might have been taken for an old fogy, but he was simply a gentlernan of the old school, a learned old gentleman whose thoughts went backward instead of forward. He gazed absently at the old relic from which were evolved the splendidly -glittering array of locomotives exhibited in the Transpor- tation Building and said in a low, reminis- cent voice: "When I was a boy in York State the railroad came to our town. The day was celebrated by barbecues and speech- making. My father took me. A martial band *rade music while we waited at the little station. When the locomotive came thundering down the track, pulling three yellow cars, it seemed that, for a moment, every one was overcome with awe, for they etood silent as statues. When they did find their voicee, however, you never heard such cheering. It seemed to each of us a panting monster, a creature of strange intelligence, the product of supreme, almost supernatu- ral, mechanical genitie. My father said to a neighbor 'What will they do next?' and the reply was 'What can they do to beat this?' "Yet here, today,1 see a locomotive just like the one that came jolting over the rails that day. People stand around and laugh at it. It is exhibited here as a freak, prov• ing what simpletons our fathers used to be. What was the marvel of my childhood has become a curiosity, a joke to the new gener- ation. I fancy people compare us behind ray back and say, "There are the two relics, the old-fashioned man and the old-fashioned engine.' I ca.n forgive them for admiring the new palace trains but it dees seem a little heartless, this laughing at the object that was the wonder and marvel of our fathers' last days. But this is only one of many instances. It is so everywhere. The things of 50 years ago are labeled so people may keow what they are. Four or five young upstarts stood poking fun at the pic- ture of an old steamboat, one saying it re- sembled a floating barn with a wagon wheel nailed to each side. I recognized in it an old frieed. Then there's a reaping machine the one that came back from England some 5a years ago with a gold medal. At that time we went miles to see it work. Now, everyone who looks at it grins disdainfully, that is every one exeept the old people. They have nothing but respect for that grand olcl pioneer. Among the shiny coaches and carriages I found an old. Vic- toria which had once been used by the presi- dent of the Ueited States. It had hair -cloth cushions and stout wheels and its propor- tions were homely but in ita time it was the best carriage in the country. Compered with the natty, machine -made vehicles it seemed like a good, old, home -spun gentle- , man at a modern soeiety ball. The people forgot their manners and laughed at it, You see, things that are thirty or forty years old are so lamentably behind the tintes. I should not be surprised at any time to have some one come up and label me 'Pattern of 1830' or something similar. Progreee is all right, a mighty good thing, but there in something pathetic in thus hav- ing the friends of your youth, the looms, the stage-coachee, well -sweeps, candle -sticks, spraning-wheele, etc., brought from the gar- retto be laughed at. Suppose you should find eome one poking fun at the curls and bombazine in a pietare of your grandmother? rhea is the sort of feeling it rouses." FEMININE INFATUATION. Can auy one analyze or explain the magic cantained in a, glance from a pair of lan- guorous Oriental eyes.? Or is there any known remedy for or protection against the tame? Because, if there is, it is high time that eornebody is taking the matter in hand lest thiu country be maiden -less when the Pair has passed away, Every glorious summer day swarthy-skin- ded sons of the South have cast dreamy, romantic glances from slurnbtrous dark eyes at World's Fair maidens, before which said maidene surrendered ; if they didn't en- tirely capitulate, they went home raving about Turks, Arabs, Indians, etc. Girls who paea with 'perfect indifference our na- tive Apollos, Adonises and things, hang around booths and cast killing glances at some measly Turk, pleased to death of he but noticce her—which , he is always very ready to do, knowing, as he does, that he will thus get her last shekel tor some of his trashy ware, which, is usually mit worth carrying home. Whatever can possess the girls? They ought to know better, but they don't. There have been numerous weddings since tbe Fair opened—a nice, fat pot-pourri of divorces has been prepared—between white girls and Orientals and more will un- doubtedly be added to the list. A NOTABLE. Archduke Franz Ferdinand von Verrter- rajah d'Este—and the rest of it—of Austria came and went again before the palpitating Chicago municipality could prostrate itself" at his royal feet, in spite of the foot that it had been for a week holding itself in readiness to flop at any moment. This elusive and mysterious "in cog" caused pret- ty flinch all of the newspapers in town to print long stories of hie arrival, etc., and then ask° them back, daily for thepast week. He arrived on Tuesdny morning, saw the Fair at, a Nancy Hanks gait and left on Tuesday evening, being recognized by Probably a dozen people. CANADA'S DAIRY EXHIBIT.
