The Canadian who has "done" the World's Rail' has witnessed an exhibition that will not again be duplicated in the next' fifty or ono hundred years; the Canadian who has not been visitor to this great event, should make an °from to see it at the earliest possible moment, ,Or prepare to be filled with regret as long aa the +power of reflection is exercised within him. It ds easy for people who have not been there to „;doubt the assertion about' the Fair being dupii- 'oated, but those who have enjoyed its glories, as well as its trying experiences:will agree with •ns. The future, co-operation of all nations in making so thoroughly representative a display 'dray never be agar. secured, while it is exceed - Ugly y'doubtful if any country no matter what ;;its %financial resources, would undertake the expefldlturs for buildings alone' of $40,000,000, assns dons bythe city of Chicago in this in - roe. And te marvellous collection of relics, ra�iiriositios, natural productions of all kinds, Mee;qufactured goods and appliances, to sa thing of the eleotrjcaldisplay, and thousands Id other things, make it exceedingly doubtful tihat'such 'an assortmentcari ever again be hirotlgbt together. Picture* 'are supposed to give to the mind, 14krongh the eye, some idea of the thing they z,�eepresent but any picture yet given of the fair 'irildin spas failed most completely in present- tg to the mind any adequate conception of the reality. One speaks of a single building cover- ,ing thirty-two acres of land, and the mind fails to realize what it is like, even though it has , been represented in scores of pictures, but pass ",;upand down; itelong-aisles, :•look-up°at4ta-im' manse arched roof, go to one end and measure pits length and/breadth with the eye, or, better still take the elevator that lifts you steadily up 23O>seet, to a landing near its roof, then climb 'the stairway that leads outside, and as you :,pass around the iron -guarded walk that extends along the entire surface of the roof (just eight deet lower than the famous Ferris .wheel you begin to realize the size of the building. Going up in this elevator is a trifle trying to the nerves, but coming down is more so, and although the roof is seemingly as safe as a stone walk on the earth, one breathes a great deal more freely down than up. The other buildings, though not so large. as this one, are on similar propor- tions, and are themselves worth a visit to see. We shall make no pretencewhatever of giv- ing anything like a fall aecountof what fs tc be seen; (lit-eould not be done in one hundred ar- tioles) but will simply give a few observations, as'they briefly preeent themselves to us. The Midway Plaisanco—of which much has ;been said in the press—conveys, by its name, a misleading impression. Most people suppose .that it is an actual representation of foreign 'life, customs, habits, etc.. To some extent it is, but only to a limited extent. While it is situ- • ated in the fair grounds, it, is removed some dis- i'tance from the fair buildings proper, and no ,great harm would have ensued if it had been— •with a few exceptions—removed out into Lake Michigan and anchored beyond hailing.dis- tance. There are a few things along the Mid- way that are worth seeing; there are a good many that are fakes, pure and simple, and some of them' &•immoral and rank that they • 'would not be openly tolerated in Canada twen- Midway—that is, walk dnothing wn the long roadway and see the bazaars, beer gardens, theatres and European natives. so far as, they can bo seen along the street, but costs anywhere from loo to $1 each, if one wants to see the Cairo village and theater, streets of Constantinople, Dahomey ,or Java village South Sea Islands, &c.. Ono .can gain some information by an inexpensive walk in the way; they can get a great deal more experience, if they are built that way, by pay - Mg for it, and the masses who "do" the Midway eluting the evening, would indicate that more isto be seen at this time than duringthe day. A eat attraction located in the Midway is the orris wheel, which stands 25u foot high. Built 'somewhat after the principle of a merry-go- reund, it has •a large number of cars for the ac- commodation of passengers. A trip is two re - Volutions of the wheel, which lasts nearly twenty minutes, and for which you pay 50 cents. Nervous people should not undertake it. The "view tram the elevation, particularly at night, i' tine, but in our opinion is not worth the price Charged. A good many people think differently, however, for the wheel is making barrels of money fir its owner. Leaving the Midway, one can visit any of the buildings they feel disposed to. Tho dlfrorent State buildings aro sources of considerable in- •• crest, containing exhibits that represent the best produotion of the particular State, chiefly of an agricultural nature. Washington terra- ' :tory (or State) building is coqmposed of massive timbers,ht Order to reproseftt its forest produc- tions, while ono of its exhibits is a skeleton of a fnaminoth,lar er than the largest elephant ever *teen hero, Illinois building is the largest State -building on the ground; one of the finest things in it is a picture about 25 feet by 18 or 20, repro - presenting a farm scone, the whole made of rain of.varibus kinds. California 'spreads" itself on fruit in its State building, as well as in the Horticultural, oranges, lemons, prunes, 3imea, etc predominating. A horse and rider, ,,eofnpesed entirely of prunes, and an . orange %Liberty boll made of 8,000 oranges, attracting o• tice,. Of course thorn aro many other exhibits ft1:the State buildings than these enumerated, bot the description will give an idea of the Whbla.

SO 1'9OU8bl !.'t. friar to the election at l.$7$, the :Zx- eter'Winpes was one of the very journals< that was denouncing Strongly Mr Mac- Kenzie beranse he did not atop the e$odlte; and its chief argument was that the adoption of the N. P. meant higher prices. In'this • very town 1klr Porter quoted from the Exeter Times tb show "the ben-e-fltsof the Na-tional <, Police. coil ,e, g amen, these being his words, and gave a list showing how it would increase prices on everything the -farmer raised. We admit' that it is childish in the extreme to say that the government can increase prices on pro- duce, &c., but that was exactly the argument of the Exeter Tithes, is it's argument to -day, and is the platform. of the party now. • What is Mr Foster doing but telling the farmers (falsely) how prosperous they are under the N. P., which means, if it means anything, that the N. P. increases prices. Still, tion Times says it "is childish" to rea.- aent tlll� way. So it is. Bead wort+; and gold trimmings seem to pre - OW ' work" to pretend to enumerate or name the numberless articles seen, Adjoining this is "The Children's Building,' which is mainly a nursery, where small chilren may be "tagged" like a valise and loft, while their mothers enjoy the fair; the children seem to enjoy it. Some the cots contain two oaround, three dl while imodal no cent In the Forestrybuilding can be seen, in its natural and finihed condition, wood from all sections of the Continent, and in this building Canada, unfortunately does not show to tbe advantage that she might, The not, ex- hibits, in part, are dressed to show to ,the best advantage the grain and fibre of the wood the Canadian exhibits are mostly in the raw. Here may be seen from Now Mexico a piece of ma- hdganyabout five feet square and nearly thirty feetlong; a single plank thirteen feet wide and dear knows how long, and exhibits of a like nature. The Art building is filled with the produc- tions of all the ,great painters, as the sale bills would say, "too numerous to 'mention." A lover of paintings could easily spend a month in studying them, and then not get fairly start- ed in viewing all that is to -bo soon. "The' fore- closure of the mortgage," by Mr Reid, of Mon- treal,was regarded even by foreigners as one of the best on exhibition. The Transportation building contains ',13h1 ales of every kind, form and design. Railway en- gines from the very first made, crude and un- couth, in gradual stops of progress up to the ponderous and swift monsters of the present. Palace oars of the most elaborate and expensive kind. Among the carriages that attract atten- tion are two $12,000 hearses, finished in solid ebony and gold, the Imperial carriage of the King of Sweden, a gorgeous but clumsy affair; a carriage which belonged to Daniel Webster, an aluminum cva gon, coaching carriages, and other vehicles ad inflnitum. Machinery Rall has about everything a man can netme in the way of machinery, most of it running; looms, printing presses, etc., turning out stock at a rapid rate. The Liberal Arts is the largest building on the ground, and contains exhibits of manufac- tured goods from every country under the sun. This is the only one of 'the many buildings wherein the Canadian exhibit is not fairly re- presentative of the country, A. description of its contents is absolutely an impossibility— there are so many things of "special" interest. The Anthropological building is one of the most interesting to visit, containing human and animal skeletons, and specimens of animals long since extinct Here is a sample of the Squid or Devil fish, with a body the size of a small keg, while its two arms, covered with suckers extend out at least twelve feet in front of it. • suckers, whales, walrus, elephants, bears, etc., also rear their forms here. The Government building contains in minia- ture, a postal and telegraph system, shows how the old system was worked and compared with the new, has a mint in full operation, and gives to the Americans particularly a good idea as to how sonic portions of the administration work is carried on. The Electrical building -open night and day —is always attractive, more especially in the evening because at this time lights are•shining from all parts of the building.The Edison electric tower, in the centre o! he building, is covered with incandescent lights which change their colorandpresent a beautiful sight when all are going. Electricity as a motive power shows how much stored -up energy it possesses. The eleecttrro illuminations on ;;the different buildings night, along the edge -of the water, and in allttttilost every ppsition that theycan be placed, together withe the electric funtain which changes its color and form, the powerful search lights used, all combine in making a scene of glory that the pen can hardly describe. OENEItAL NOTES AND INCIDENTS. Board and lodging can be obtained. as reason- able or expensive as one cares to go, from 84 to $20 a week. From almost any part of the city or-:suburbs=•one-can..reaeb-the •1aimgrounds by • street car or elevated railway, for five• or ten cents. We never saw a drunken man either in the city or on the grounds, during the whole week. The $100,000 diamond in the Tiffany ex- hibit is very carefully guarded, and is about the size of a small horse chestnut. In one building are the flags carried by the different regiments, during the war; some are torn to shreds by bullets, while others, are stained by the blood of brave men who fell beneath them. The boat in which Grace Darling made her .game famous is on exhibit. Thousands of war curiosities and relics are to be seen, and the coat in which Lincoln was assassinated has a strange fascination for the multitude: After viewing the. uncouth and awkward Spanish caravels, one can cross over into the convent wherein may be seen the ast.es of Columbus. A model of the English we r ship Victoria showing where she was cut into recently andj sank, with so large a loss of life, is a source off constant attention. Krupp's immense canno and steel castings solid ivory camel saddl carved, belonging to the King of Siam, patto drawing room suite belonging to the late Princ Ludwig, made of solid gold and costing $18 000,000, furs worth thousands of dollars, andtl thousands of other things to be seen, will gi., the reader a very faint idea of the immensi y ofthe Fair. "Chicago Day," Monday Oct. 9th, the 22nd anniversary of the great fire, saw the largest crowd on the grounds that has ever been ga- thered together in modern times. There were nearly 800,000 people solidly packed together in an almost immovable mass, and it is said that the only time such a number has boon gathered together, was when the children of Israel left Egypt. Sight-soein was out of the question. If you went anywhere, you went with the crowd, because you could not .help yourself. The mon who sold tickets in their wire -covered boxes at the gates—and there were twelve of thom—stood in bank bills up to their knees, and next day it required the services of two wag- gons to cart away the silver taken at the same places. This may seem like an exaggeration, but it is, nevertheless, a fact. In the evening, when the crowd wanted to go home, the jam at the railway exits was something awful. The police pulled bodily out of the crowd 150 women' who had fainted, and laid them out on the sta- tion roof, like so many dead persons; several people were seriously crushed, the street ears wore running nearly all night before they could carry the crowd away, and those who wore -in the dam will never forget it as long as they live. The police arrangements were 50 complete that comparative) little pocket picking was indnlg- ed in. The Chicago papers are urging the citi- zens to make the last day of tho show tho greatest of all, by an attcndancoof 1,000 000, and we would not bo surprised to hoar or it being done. Tho Fair will nominally close on the 31st inst., nd the foreign exhibitors will at once start to &move their exhibits, S'ut it will be some time before the fair is actually closed, and until it is, the directors pprpose running it as long as they can. The report of Dungannon fall show is crowded out till next week. It is said that Mr. Creighton, of the Empire, carries the appointment of Postmaster at Owen Sound, in his pocket. • The Young Conservatives of Toronto are split into Thompson and McCarthy factions, and at the meeting for the election of officers the other night,both factions elected a President, and each refuses to compromise.

Be also went into details as to the taking of the vote, etc. A communication was read from Mr J. E. Tom, of Goderioh, who had been appoint- ed convener for the West Riding of Huron, at the Temperance Convention in Toronto, on the 3rd and 4th instants, asking the I. 0. G. T.; as being the largest temperance organization in theRiding, to take the initiative in the matter, and call a convention. It was decided that the District Lodge assume the responsibility, and that a con- vention be called to meet at Manchester, on No- venlber let, at 1 p.m. Mr J. G. Murdoch, delegate to last meeting of Grand,Lodge, gave a splendid report of the proceedings of that body. The next district meeting will be hold in Manchester on the fourth Monday in January nest.—Wfngham Times.,.

The Week has hit it. And the masses have the votes and can, if they wish,. relieve themselves of the burden of the classes. Of 830,000 in live stock prizes offered at the Chicago World's Fair, the Cana- dian farmer willyocket $14,400. He won this in competition with the agricul- tural interests of a country thirteen times as big as his own. The Cana- dian farmer is the best in America.— London Free Press. Quite :true, assuredly, every word of it, and it proves conclusively that the Canadian farmer can hold his own in competition with "the agricultural interests of a country 13 times as big as his own." Secure for the Canadian access to the American markets, and he'll knock the spots off his American brother every time. Town and County Church Chimes. Rev.

It never has, and its columns prove this. It is true the edi- tor of the Post is a Reformer,' but he has kept the columns of his pap -r generally free from politics. As a mat- • ter -of -fact very little' editorial matter of any kind appears in the Post. FIRE THEM,—A large retail house in Toronto is sending catalogues out to parties in towns and villages, as an in- ducement to secure mail orders for goods. Parties should stick them in the stove, for two reasons, first, be- cause the prices asked generally are no lower than can he procured at home, and secondly, because every one who has money to spend should invest it in the business houses of their own town. TRAVELLERS. — The following pas- sengers were ticketed at Jacksons tick- et agency during the past week :—Mrs Saville, Huntsville, Mich.; Mrs Good- fellow, Lowell, Mass.; Jas.

Four families passed through Winnipeg in "prairie schooners" on Sunday night on their way from Nebraska to a point 90 males west. Two freight trains collided at Woodstock station Monday morning but 'no one was hurt and traffic was not delayed. Frost on the track caused the trouble. The Winnipeg Tribune states that Mr Hugh John Macdonald's resignation will be accepted in a few days and an election to fill the vacancy held in a few weeks. Mr Duncan MoArthur, ex -president of the Commercial Bank of Winnipeg, who was charged with making false returns to the Government, has been acquitted. The choir of the Euclid Avenue Metho- dist church, Toronto, went on strike be. cause they did riot get free tickets to the harvest home, and the trustees apologized. Call out the militia! George Robertson, president of the Halifax, N.

It has leaked out that the Star Almanac of Montreal is to be even larger and greater than last year's, consisting of no lees than four hundred and fifty pages. Before the publishers have issued a Bingle announce- ment there has sprang up a great, spon- taneous demand for it. Before the Commission on the liquor traffic, Peter Itter, manager of the Water- loo county poor -house, said 60 per cent of the people in the poor -house are there as the direct result of strong drink. I. D.
