CENTENNIAL  CORRESPONDENCE. 
Coi/>KNADK  Hotkl,  Phila..  May  13, 187G. 
Finally  tbo  groat  Centennial  Exhibition  in 
I’onnally  oiienod,  and  viBitorH  are  now  at  liberty 
to  inspect  the  buddings  and  note  how,  gradually, 
the  exhibits  (ako  on  most  attractive  forms  un¬ 
til.  fjiiivlly,  the  American  viewing  these  things 
in  their  full-blown  oxcollence,  may  well  foel 
proud  to  bo  the  citi/.en  of  a  country  that  has 
created  an  Exliibitiou  of  such  grand  i>roportionB. 
Considering  that,  as  a  nation,  we  are  yet  in  lead¬ 
ing  strings,  this  is  surely  a  proud  reflection. 
As  might  have  boon  expected,  the  opening  cor- 
emouiCH  wore  more  reinarkahle  for  the  crowd 
thr.t  was  attracted  to  tiic  grounds  than  tor  what 
was  to  be  seen,  as  not  a  nnnety  of  the  exhibitors 
were  in  a  position  to  display  their  wure.s.  The 
rain  of  tlio  ])rovions  24  hours  had  rendered  the 
walks  almost  impassnhlo  and  the  mud  was  of  a 
depth  hi  discourage  the  most  adventuresome; 
yet,  at  the  api)oinh«l  time,  the  Master  of  Cere¬ 
monies,  followed  hy  the  President  and  the  Em¬ 
press  of  iJrazil.  Dom  Peuko  and  Mrs.  Gka.nt, 
the  members  of  the  Foreign  f.egations,  distin¬ 
guished  politicians,  ])oct»,  philosophers,  and 
menihers  of  the  Press,  took  their  appointed 
places  on  the  platform  that  was  erected  for  the 
occasion  ojiposiU^  the  middle  transept  of  the 
Main  Hall  and  facing  Memorial  Hall,  on  the 
broad  plaza  of  which  was  statJoned  the  orchestra 
and  chorus  under  the  conductorsliip  of  TheouoBu 
Thomam.  'I'lio  order  of  ceremonies  was  ns  fol¬ 
lows  : 
1.  Centennial  inanguratiou  march  by  Hichabd 
WAGNEn  of  Germany. 
2.  Fraycr  by  the  Right.  Rev.  Bishop  Simpson. 
3.  Hymn  liy  John  G.  Whittier  ;  music  hy 
John  li.  J’avne  of  Massachusetts.  Orchestral 
and  organ  accompaniment. 
4.  Cantata  -the  words  hy  Sidney  Lanieu  of 
Georgia  ;  music  by  Dudley  Buck  of  Connect¬ 
icut.  Orchestral  and  organ  accompaniment. 
5.  Preieutatiun  of  Hm  exhibition  by  the  pres¬ 
ident  of  the  Centennial  Commission. 
6.  Address  by  tbo  President  of  the  United 
States. 
The  Prcsiilent  read  his  addi-css  from  nmnu- 
script  and  owing  to  the  low  key  in  which  his 
voice  was  jiitchcd,  wis  entirely  innndihlo  to  all 
who  did  not  immediately  surround  him.  The 
music— Ixith  choral  and  instrumental  -was  ren¬ 
dered  with  great  spirit  and  precision,  and  to  the 
majority  was  about  the  ouly  coniponsation  for 
the  Bufferings  tlie.v  eudimed.  Tho  crowd  at  this 
time  an<l  )ioint  was  so  dense  that  it  became  liter¬ 
ally  impossible  to  move  hand  or  foot,  and  the 
embrace  of  a  hoar  might  well  seem  a  gentle  pres¬ 
sure  by  com]>arison.  Follnwing  the  addresses 
c.xme  the  general  insiiection,  and  hy  tlio  timu  tlic 
President  and  jiarty  liad  reached  Machinery  Hall 
and  tho  doors  wore  thrown  oixm  to  the  public,  it 
was  2  P.  M. 
The  military,  that  for  the  occasion,  undertook 
to  maintain  oi-der,  were  not  as  well  directed  as 
could  Jiavc  been  desirtMi.  At  one  time  tho  ranks 
were  broken,  and  the  crowd  shot  tlu-ough  into 
tho  op«  n,  as  if  tired  from  a  catapult.  When  they 
were  linally  forced  bock,  it  was  done  in  a  manner 
that  would*  not  have  been  tolerated  by  any  hut 
Aniericans,— incontostihly  the  best  Matured  peo¬ 
ple  on  the  face  of  the  globe.  At  12  *r.  the  can¬ 
non  iiealed  forth,  and  the  chimes  in  the  tower  of 
Machiiury  Hall  rang  out  jubilantly  hut  not  veiy 
harmoniously ;  the  ringer,  perhaps,  feeling  nei'- 
vous,  and  opprf-ssed  by  the  grandeur  of  the  oc¬ 
casion.  Homo  twenty  thousand  pooide  lined  the 
limits  of  the  groioids,  and  Ht.  George's  Hall  was 
black  with  humanity,  who  preferred  to  take  their 
sight  seeing  without  the  usnal  fonnula  of  paying 
for  it,  and  this  suggests  the  novel  an-augcnients 
that  are  provided  for  ingress  to  tlio  grounds. 
Tliero  arc  Kttl  tnrnstilos,  and  42  exit  gates. 
The  entrances  and  exits  are  in  juxtaposition,  so 
that  when  yon  wisli  te  leave  tlui  grounds  you 
merely  direct  your  steps  to  where  you  see  a 
crowd  isiiiring  in.  Of  the  turnstiles  seventy-six 
are  for  money  only ;  six  arc  for  those  who  liold 
complimcniaiy  tickets,  such  as  U»e  press, 
oflicials,  Ac.,  and  twenty-four  are  for  exhibitors 
and  attendants.  Tlie  turnstiles  are  marked  with 
a  letter,  so  that  those  who  have  passes  may  go 
in  under  tlieir  letter.  Complimentary  ticket- 
holders  pass  in  under  the  letter  C,  which  will  be 
found  ill  two  places  iu  the  main  entrancii,  one 
place  in  tlm  eastern  entraueo,  one  iu  the  drive 
near  the  Vicuua  Roliery  enteauce,  one  in  Uio 
ih-ive  near  tlio  Belmont  Avcuue  entrance,  on  the 
uoi-thwest  side  of  enclosure,  and  one  iu  the 
Macliinery  Hall  entranoe  ueai'  tlio  Main  Cou- 
^  By  au  iugeuioua  contrivance  of  W.  S.  PbUlips, 
Suporiuteudmit  of  the  Telegraph,  these  timi 
stiles  are  coiuiected  by  wu‘o  witli  a  dial  in  the 
main  ollico  of  the  Centennial  Commission. 
When  a  iiersou  entws  through  a  tmnsUle  he  is 
instantly  registered  on  this  dial.  At  any  instant 
of  the  day,  therefore,  it  will  be  possible  to  know, 
by  glancing  at  the  dial,  the  exact  number  of 
people  who  have  passed  the  gates  and  arc  within 
tho  oxliihitiou  grounds  and  buildings. 
Tlio  Centennial  Bank  ostahlished  for  tho  con¬ 
venience  of  visitors  is  prepared  to  change  money 
and  ftmiish  those  who  desire  it  with  .'lO-ceut 
script,  being  the  only  and  exact  amount  that  can 
hi!  dejxjsitcd,  stilo-kecpcrs  lieiiig  forbidden  to 
make  change.  So  great  was  the  rim  on  tho 
hank,  at  the  opening,  that  siioeiilators  avsiled 
themsclvcB  of  the  opjiortunity  to  sell  small 
change  at  a  prcinlnin  of  $1.10  for  one  dollar. 
Tho  great  Corliss  Engine  was  put  in  motion  at 
tho  command  of  the  President,  and  in  a  twuik- 
ling  this  enonnons  motor,  stoi’ted  the  miles  of 
shafting  as  easily  and  quietly  as  if  it  was  quite 
tho  simplest  thing  in  existence.  This  giant  piece 
of  machinery  will  be  one  of  the  gieatest  objects 
of  interest  at  the  Exposition,  and  it  may  well  ex¬ 
cite  the  surjirise  and  admuation  of  scientific  and 
uon-Hcienfifio  sight-seekers. 
Gkkat  stress  was  laid  upon  the  assertion  of 
fjupl  rn/ncs  that  tho  crowd  at  the  oiaming  would 
he  80  large  as  to  caiiBO  hotel  pro]irietors  to  sigh 
for  honsoB  of  india  ruhher.  This  prediction  waa 
partly  fulfilled  ;  the  crowd  wajt  very  great,  but 
Philadelphia,  like  anollier  .F.nkuh,  was  equal  to 
any  fate,  taking  in  and  doing  for  tlie  stranger 
handsoiuely,  Tho  Colonnade  entertained  586 
guostH,  hut  there  was  room  for  more :  and  while 
on  tho  subject  of  liofels,  I  should  like  to  say 
right  here  Unit  the  genial  proprietor  of  this 
hotel  do  make  it  wondorfnlly  comfortable  and 
homo-like  for  tho  stranger.  And  judging  hy 
their  manner,  one  would  suppose  that  each  new 
ai'rival  was  one  of  those  much-ahnsod  country 
cousins,  and  that  he  wan  quite  welcome.  'J'lie 
Colonnade  is  among  the  most  centrally  located 
of  tho  city  hotels,  being  but  two  miles  distant 
from  the  Exhibition  grounds,  and  wo  liolieve 
quite  the  nearest  of  any  of  them.  On  Wednes¬ 
day  the  iirominent  an’ivals  at  tho  hotel  were 
Gen.  John  H.  King,  Albany  ;  V.  Dauuo.v,  Gna- 
toinalian  Minister;  C<en.  JiAVAViiE,  Capt.  Frank 
Arnoioi,  Gen.  Ki.ijah  Ward,  Dr.  Stoiidarii

a  poor  commentary  on  the  priisent  state  of  jiublic

this  direction.  The  reformatory  power  of  the

WAY 
DO  IT. 
THE  GRANGE  AN  EDUCATOR. 
J.  Munger,  Tiectiirer  of  Agricola  Grange  No. 
9  of  Warren  County,  Ohio,  makes  the  following 
veiy  sensible  remark  in  a  recent  lecture  upon  tho 
above  named  topic : 
Let  US  always  be.ar  in  mind  that  tho  Grange  is 
to  become  just  what  we  shall  choose  to  make  it. 
Either  it  is  a  high-teiuxl  school  of  morals  and  a 
perpetual  fountain  of  knowledge,  wherein  im¬ 
provement  and  refinement  shall  go  hand  in  hand 
with  social  and  intellectual  culture  ;  moral  and 
physical  development,  for  herein  all  these  must 
receive  attention  and  the  whole  man  must  he 
educated,  or  it  must  become  a  mockery  in  the 
u.ame  of  jirogi'ess. 
But  more  thau  tliis,  we  stop  uot  here  !  With¬ 
in  the  folds  of  the  Grange  we  must  gather  the 
youth  of  the  laud.  Here  wo  must  shield  and 
protect  them  from  the  snares  and  temptations  to 
w  hich  they  are  exposed -wooing  and  wnuning 
them  from  the  folRos  and  rices  of  tho  world,  hy 
providing  for  them  innocent  amusements,  and 
fm-nishiug  them  with  rational  enjoyment,  incnl- 
eating  in  their  minds  and  instilling  into  their 
young  hoails  Uie  ennobling  principles  of  virtue ; 
not  tho  least  of  w'hieh  is  the  love  of  the  heaven- 
ordaiued  and  inexorahlo  law  of  labor ;  the  neces¬ 
sity  and  thn  duty  of  industry;  the  glory  and 
reward  of  plain,  downiiglit,  blunt,  honest,  hard 
work— work  V'Oth  of  bo<ly  and  mind  -work,  iu 
tho  library  and  in  tho  field,  in  the  ofiico  and  ju  Urn 
shop,  at  tlm  desk  and  at  the  bench ;  obeying  the 
injunction,  "  Whatsoever  thy  hand  findeth  to 
Thic  Grange  Visitor  gives  the  foUowing  very  j 
sonsihle  advise  to  farmers  who  desire  to  purchase  ! 
supplies  cheap  as  well  as  sell  their  products  at  ' 
good  prices  : 
Why  is  it  that  it  is  so  difficult  for  farmers  to 
deal  directly  with  each  other  in  exchanging  the 
prodnets  of  one  soctioii  for  tlioso  of  another 
without  passing  snob  commodities  through  the 
hands  of  one  or  more  sjwculaters  ?  In  a  recent 
report  of  the  State  Business  Agent  of  Ohio,  ho 
stated  that  rates  could  not  he  given  on  grass 
seeds,  as  they  were  in  the  bands  of  speculators. 
Why  wore  those  scixls  whicli  tho  fanners  of  this 
country  produce  and  oonsume,  held  by  middle¬ 
men  ?  Is  thi  ro  not  some  way  of  correcting  this 
evil?  Tho  whole  difficulty  arises  from  the  very 
unblisincss-liko  way  in  which  a  majority  of  j 
farmers  do  hnsiuess.  Farmers  miLst  get  in  the  j 
liuhit  of  iloing  their  own  thinking  and  of  making  I 
their  calcnlatiouB  a  little  further  ahead  than  I 
they  now  do.  How  many  farmers  who  had  to 
buy  clover  seed  Uiis  spring  did  not  know'  or  ^ 
might  nut  hnvo  known  with  roasonahlo  fore-  | 
tliought  last  fall,  tliat  they  would  want  it  in  the 
spring,  and  who  do  not  know  that  it  would  have 
paid  them  well  to  have  jiurchasod  it  at  that  time 
even  at  an  advance  on  the  ruling  prices  ?  Clover 
seed,  for  instance,  could  have  been  bought  for 
about  two-thirds  of  the  price  jiaid  for  it  this  j 
spring,  which  would  give  about  fifty  per  cent.  I 
for  tho  use  Of  the  money  for  six  months.  If 
farmers  hiel  taken  the  trouble  to  give  tlie  matter 
thought,  they  might  have  foresooii  that  the 
result  would  be  just  wlnit  it  has  been,  and  moilo 
their  arr.angenicuts  accordingly,  thus  saving  to 
tliomsfclves  a  few  dollars  Unit  would  he  very 
acceptable  these  hard  times.  Hail  a  Grange  in 
this  section,  fur  instiuicc,  where  no  clover  was 
raised  last  year,  made  their  wants  known  to  tJio 
members  of  other  Granges  where  it  was  fgr  sale, 
could  they  not  have  Isiught  it  as  low  as  any  one, 
and  would  it  uot  have  been  an  advantage  to 
both  parties  ? 
But  grass  soeil  is  not  the  only  thing  that 
requires  forethought  and  good  management, 
and  in  which  co-operation  may  bo  used  to  advan¬ 
tage.  Thoro  aro  many  things  of  even  more 
im]iortanco.  'J'ho  sclhng  of  Uie  next  cUp  of 
wool  might  bo  ninde  the  subject  forcousideralion 
at  iiresent.  If  the  entire  clip  of  tho  State  could 
be  collected  into  a  few  koi-ge  lots  properly  graded 
and  sacked,  it  could  he  sold  to  much  better 
advantage,  and  the  cummissioiia  of  two  or  three 
agents  ho  saved  to  the  pruducer.  In  order  to 
accomplish  this,  each  Oraugo  should  obtain 
from  tho  members  au  estimate  of  the  quantity 
and  quality  each  will  have  to  soil,  which  should 
he  reported  to  the  Btato  Agent,  or  some  one 
appointed  for  that  purpose,  who  shoukl  imme¬ 
diately  enter  into  iiegotiatious  ivith  Business 
Agents  in  the  East,  or  with  the  manufacturers, 
themselves.  If  large  lots  of  well-graded  wool 
could  thus  be  offcri-d  to  the  manufacturers, 
there  Is  no  doubt  hut  the  best  prices  could  be 
I  obtained.  This  is  but  a  siugle  item  of  the  many 
that  might  be  named.  Fvery  article  of  sale  or 
purchase  should  he  huiigUt  or  sold  iu  a  systematic 
and  economical  manner,  and  often  au  exchange 
might  he  effected  that  would  bo  advantageous  to 
hotli  parties ;  for  iustaiice,  if  the  Busiacos 
Agent  were  authorized  to  take  a  certain  pai't  of 
the  price  of  the  wool  in  cloth. 
The  w  ay  to  success  is  to  look  ahead,  systematise 
the  husiuess  of  purchase  aiul  sale,  and  practice 
tho  true  principles  of  eo-operutiou.

THE  DUES. 
A  Patron  wriling  to  the  Prauie  Farmer, 
reminds  his  brother  that  “dues,”  should  bo 
paid  promptly.  Many  Granges  hold  their 
meetings  in  school-houses,  and  the  expense  is 
light.  Some  have  built  halls,  while  others  ai-e 
yet  renting  halls.  Each  subordinate  Grange 
is  the  liest  judge  of  the  amoimt  of  dues  neces¬ 
sary  for  its  exiiensea.  Patrons  are  uot  generally 
ENTOMOLOGY  AS  A  STUDY. 
Prof.  Chas.  V.  Riley  in  his  late  lecture 
delivered  in  the  Hall  of  \Yashingtou  University, 
8t.  Louis,  Mo.,  said  of  “Entomology  as  a 
Study." 
That  thoro  exists  a  certain  contempt  in  the 
public  mind  for  what  are  derisively  termed  bugs, 
ill  America,  is  too  evident,  particularly  in  our 
cities,  whore  tlie  word  is  associated  only  with  a 
troublesome  or  offensive  species.  Yet  this  con¬ 
tempt  is  unwarranted.  Tho  whole  class  should 
not  be  judged  by  the  exceptional  few.  There 
is  scarcely  one  of  those  creatures  but,  when 
carefully  cxainiued,  presents  a  iierfect  micro¬ 
cosm  of  wonder  and  beauty,  and  tho  structure  of 
most  of  them  is  more  complicated  than  that  of 
man  hiinseir.  Tlioy  are  possessinl  of  senses 
which  we  no  sense  have  to  conceive.  We  find 
assembled  among  them  aU  the  striking  peculi¬ 
arities  of  other  animals.  The  piercing,  but 
simple  eye  of  the  eagle  or  the  lynx  will  not  com¬ 
pare  to  the  storcoscoitio  and  conqiound  eye  of  the 
dragon-fiy,  that  sees  in  all  directions  at  one 
time  ;  the  sharp  .snout  of  the  sword-fish  is,  com¬ 
paratively,  a  fcetilc  weaixm  by  tho  side  of  that 
of  a  iiirato  or  soldier  hug ;  the  jaws  of  a  lion 
weak  In  comparison  with  those  of  an  ant  or 
of  a  tiger-boollc ;  the  tongue  of  a  lizard  short 
compared  to  that  of  a  hawk-moth,  W'liat  is  the 
architecture  of  the  beaver  hy  the  side  of  that  of 
tlie  bee  ?  Uompare  the  jumping  of  tho  kangaroo 
with  that  of  a  Ilea  ora  Pcetnloplcra ;  the  feenndi- 
1  ty  of  a  hare  with  that  of  the  apliia,  or  of  tho  fo- 
j  male  temiite,  which  has  hcon  known  to  lay  an  egg 
a  second  for  twenty-four  hours ;  tho  climbing  of 
the  squiniil  with  tliat  of  the  fly  ;  the  swiftness 
of  the  iintelopo  with  that  of  a  Cicindcla  or 
I  carahuH  and  you  will  find  that,  if  tlie  acts  ho 
i  measured  by  the  size  of  the  actors,  insects  in- 
^  variably  cairy  off  the  ]>alm.  Tho  elcctricty  of 
the  gj'innotuH  or  of  tho  torpedo,  tho  hornsof  the 
stag  and  rhinoceros,  tho  hun'owing  of  the  mole, 
the  phosphorcswnco  of  the  jelly- fisii,  the 
chiitigiug  colora  of  tho  cliaiuclei.in,  are  repro¬ 
duced  in  the  fieduviun  m.ratnn,  in  the  stag 
and  rhinoceros  beetles,  tho  molo  cricket,  the 
■  glow-worm  and  the  tortoise  heiitles.  In  short, 
there  is  hardly  a  striking  peouliar-ity  among  other 
animals  that  does  not  find  its  counterpart  in  in¬ 
sects  while  these,  again,  preseut  us  with  many 
most  remarkable  habits  and  pecularities  which 
find  no  parellol  in  the  rest  of  tho  animal  king¬ 
dom,  and  prove  them  to  be  most  worthy  the 
student'a  attention. 
I  could  dwell  for  hours  on  the  rcmakablo  di¬ 
versity  of  their  habits.  From  the  lesctlietic  side, 
the  study  of  insects  us  the  study  of  any  other 
branch  of  natiual  hl.story,  elevates  and  enlight¬ 
ens.  It  dispels  prejudice  and  superstition,  and 
affords  happinuss  and  iiinlruction.  Jt  more 
quickly  than  any  other  teaches  us  to  “  find 
tongues  in  trees,  hooks  in  the  ninuing  brooks, 
seriuous  in  stones,  and  good  in  everything. "  In 
my  own  experience  1  have  known  of  several 
hypochondriacs  made  hapjiy  and  hearty  by  tho 
mental  enjoyment  and  tJio  pliysieal  exorciae  that 
resulted  from  getting  interested  in  the  collect¬
