Editorial Correspondence.
Oiiicauo, III., Oot. 20, 1803.
A few days ago I left ltcd Cloud
for Omaha, Oliicago, and other points,
for tli ostensible purpo.o of taking
in the wonderful world's fair that has
been the theme of a might poeple's
conversation for more than six
months. After leaving lied Cloud I
landed in Omahn, where I attanded
the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias,
and on Thursday following, I left for
Chicago, arriving on Friday morning,
and found myself edging my way
through tho vast concourso of people,
of all nationalities, countries and
and climes, rich, por mil otherwise,
who had invested Hi sir monsy to ilew
the most elaborate exhibition that tho
world has ever known, and that, too,
in tho new west, whsro less than a
century ago tho wild man held full
sway.
It would ho almost Impossible for
ono to describe the vnstness of the
world's faiin adequate- terms to unit
tho occasion, Tho gigantic buildings,
costing hundreds of thousands of
dollar, tho immense tract of land that
has bcon redeemed from worthless
marsh, and to-day looks na if it had
bocn a thoroughfare for ages, and a
city that had bcon constructed for
years, instead of tho Aladdir.-liko
city that almost grew in a night's
time. No wondor that it is tho com
mon exclamation, "wonderful," that
drops from (he lips of all who first
behold the magnitudo of tho gnat
work thai bad been accomplished in
such a flicrt timi1. that would ordinar
ily take years to do in any other city
than Chic.uo. Two years ago the
present site of tho fnir would have
been tho most uninviting place on the
foot-stool, but the indomitable perse
vcronco of tho Chicagoan takes no
step backward, and when he sots out
to do a thing, order quickly comet
from chaos, and that is tho result of
tho great work that was accomplished
in lean than two years. On arriving
in Chicago, I took a euburban train to
I'arksido, whero I found comfortable
quarters fur myself and family in the
Cottage hotel, a small hostelry, but a
very good place, within a half mile
of tho grounds, and by the way, wai
operated by Mr. Bonine, a former Red
Oleud citizen, who lived there in '78
and run a shoe store.
After broukfast, wo all started for
tho fair and, having passed into the
grounds, commenced tho exploration
of the sights, Grst taking in the
Transportation building, a veritable
fitoro houso of great inventions aa
woll as many minor ones, lloro I saw
tho primitive locomotive as well as
tho modern tvnc, Tho little "John
Lull train" with its old fashioned rn
gino looked liko a pigmy beside the
great monster "ODD" ongino that has
startled tho world by making 104
miles in an hour, and its handsome
retinue of magnificent parlor can. It
wnild seem nlmost incredib'c, at the
great advancement mado in rapid
transit since Fulton first discovered
tho power of steam. From one great
attraction to another was tho way 1
put in my time, and beheld many
things that probably would never be
obsoivcd again in a life-time The
contents of this building attracted my
attention tho most, and tho display ot
American ingenuity is certainly as
tonishing. Kicctrionl and steam in
ventions, old stylo vehicles, new stylos
of conveyances, from every nook and
comer of tho world, that would lunko
one fori at if ho had bcon sleeping
for a conlurj ind mldenlj had awak
ened into a now world. Our Fuber is
not equal to a description of the
Transportation building.
Tho mining building I visited next,
but hurriedly passed through it, but
not without observing many of its
most interesting features. Tho dis
plays of ores from thodifTcruit states
gives ono a better idea of the great
industries of the United Etatis than
ono could gain in n life-timo from
written descriptions. This building
Is quite extensively decorated and
qu'to largo, and embraeis many cur
ious things in connection with tho
richness of tho minerals of tho earth,
of which many are of tho most prec
ious kind, such us diamonds, gold,
on many inventions that I had never
dreamed of in my palmiest days. Horo
wcro all kinds of machines, from a
tooth-pick maker to a Corliss engine.
Of tho most Interesting exhibit! te
me wero tho printing prrpsep, type
setting machines, etc, The first press
used in America was here, also the
latest improved Hoe-pcrfoeting press
that prints from thirty to forty thous
and per hour, folding, trimming and
pasting tho papers in tluir proper
places. Th!ro wore also chromatio
presses, lithograph presses, etc. In
thiB building all sorts of gigantic ma
chinery of various kinds was on ex
hibition, a description of which I lum1
not tho room to mention, hut suffice it
te say that there was a sufficient sup
ply to amuse and edify the most fas
tidious. Tho Electrical building was another
place of great intarcst, and hero it
was that ono could see all tho latest
inventions in olecttical goods. Dyna
mos of all patterns, and appliances
for operating railways nnd machinery
To ono who has not been accustomed
to seeing so much "lightning" con
trolled by n little button, naturally
feels insignificant nt tho immense
power that is produced from an un
known clement that is coming inte
general uso as a propelling power.
Othor great curiosities Wcro to bo scon
hero, but I can not tako the tituo to
enumerato them.
Tho Manufacturer's building was
also of great interest to all who visit
ed it, as it containod within its walls
exhibitions of, and elaborate designs
in all of tho various arts in manufac
turing drees goods, carpets, ready
made clothing, for ladies and gcnlle-

Tho Agricultural building and ad
juncts wcro interesting to a largo de
gree, for here you could see the pro
ducts of the United States displayed
to advantage, and I was much pleased
to sec tho Nebraska exhibit was not
behind the other states. Her interests
were well looked after, but as my ed
ucation ou farming has been limited
to that oxtcnt that I only toll "what I
know about farming" (iu the Great
Family Weekly,) I leave it for another
artiole. Tho art of waifare is well
rtprosontcd, and many different styles

as 1 eould sco this country wis ahead

Tho Horticultural department and
thu art gallery, the children's building
and tho womanu' buildings, were prin
cipal features of interest, to all and
especially to the ludicv, as caoh build
ing contained special points for them.
Tho art gallery was thronged with
crowds at all timos mado up of all
classes and especially loveiB of art,
Paiutings to suit all from tho most
costly to the cheapest. Tho womans'
buildiog was an interesting placo and
of niuoh benefit to all who wont
through it. Thoro were many othor
buildings that contained many valu
able as well as amazing exhibits but
I havo not time to dcBcribo them, as
this letter is quito leng now, still it
would not bo complete without men
tioning the much talked of "Midway
I'laisanco" where tho nations of the
world cougregate aud jibber away in
their various touguos, some of whioh
sounds liko talk, and much of which
sounds like a conglomeration of grcso
aud duck quacking to t'ne unaccus
tomed car in common parlanoe, it
makes a fellow tired to hear them, and
jet I presume they say as much of our
language. This very interesting pluco
will have to meet with but brief men
tion still there is enough to fill
colunns. Tho Fcnis Wheel, thu
Streets of Cairo, the glass blowers,
tho Dahoiny village, tho Irish village,
and tho dozens of other villages all go
to ercato a vast fund of sport for thoso
who tako them in, and aie in turn
'taken in" but usually tho sport is
well worth the money that you spend
on the Midway entertainment.
Tho fair, as a wh do, hat be on a
great success anil its history will go
thundering down tho ages as tho great
est success of anything evor known of
its kind, and right hero I shall down
thu curtain, aud raiso it iu another
letter at somo future timo.
