All the world and the rest of maukincl were at Philadelphia yesterday, to witness the grandest spectacle ever seen on this continent the consummation of the great commemorative (si Exposition which has been expectantly awaited by the country for the last two or three years. Five years ago action was first taken on the proper observance of the august occasion. Philadelphia, the birth place of national independence, was very properly selected as the lo cality for the demonstration. There was more difference of sentiment regarding the character of the celebration, but official and public opinion eventually settled on a great International Exhibition. It took a great deal of hard work and persistent effort to bring all this about.

For years the burden of the enterprise rested upon a few public spirited men in this State, and it was not until success had been practically won by them, and by the unremitting and unselfish efforts of the press, that any substantial aid was received outside of Pennsylvania. All manner of obstacles were thrown in its way. For years its success was merely problematical; but, thauka to Philadelphia, whose people were loyal from the first, the Great Exhibition to day stands as a tribute to their zeal, their pluck, their liberality, and their patriotism Its consuni mat ion may be accepted as the grand realiza tion of the patriotic hows and inspirations of the American people. It is the proud Wel come of the youngest to the oldest nations the world. 'Here is where the peoples front tli four quarters of the globe have placed friendly competition with ns the best results of their skill, their taste, their genius, their in dustry and their progress in the nrts and sci ences.

As the crowning triumph of our own first rounded century in all these evidences of material progress and wealth of genius, the Qreat Exhibition stands bef ore the world as majestic reality, and though our collective dis play may not be up in general excellence to the treasures of art and science which the Old World has put on exhibition. we must not forget that is the juxtaposition of the ancient art of the East and the progreasiv industry of storied Europe with the produc tions of one hundred years of youthful Ame rica. Or, as a Philadelphia cotemporary yes terday so beautifully expresses the idea "The success of the Centennial Celebration is not that of one people, butof all the triumphs the great display will illustrate are not those of one race, but of humanity its productions are not those of a single century, but of fiv thousand years of life and eighteen hundred of Christian civilization. Let us therefore to day bare our heads and take off our sandal: for we tread on holy ground, and stand in the presence of the modern Deity the Jupiter of the Arts and the Sciences, and of the servant of civilization LOCAL NEWS.

Bon rd of leaj It "5 1 city, efficiently organized and thoroughly prepared to do the work of such an organization, led to the establishment of our present excel lent Sanity iBoai a few yteafs hgof Since it lias ueeu in operation, our cny nzis enjoyeu a remarkable immunity from epidemics, and the spread of contagious has been measurably checked by proper sanitary regulations rigidly enforced.

Uuder the old system when the responsibility was divided and no one could be held accountable, and there was no organized effort to combat disease, our people were at the mercy of man's, deadliest oe. Wisdom and experience united in a demand for the inatitu Hon of some measure by which the health of the city could be maintained at all times, and when the existence of dangerous and inlectious visitations could be so far controlled as to render life comparatively safe from ssuch attacks. The past two years have demonstrated the necessity and wisdom of the organization of our Board of Health with its sanitary rules and regulations. The winter of 1874 5 was exceptionally severe, yet it developed nothing to "require any but the most reasonable precautions against disease. The past winter season was unusually mild.

The snow fall was light and the absence of this natural disinfectant soon made itself felt, The poisonous exhalations, decayed vegetable and animal matter; infected the atmosphere and our households were invaded by disease in its deadliest form. Smallpox made its appearance but was soon under control and the ravages of were checked at an early stae. Scarlatina or Scarlet Fever, perhaps among the least controllable of the ills that flesh is heir (o, also prevailed, and one thousand, cum were reported. iluring the season, at the office of the" Board "of Health. This disease is much feared because of the al most invariably injurious, often fatal effects, that follow a visitation.

That our readers may know something of this health invader, the first manifestations of its presence, its general characteristics and the treatment necessary during its stay in the human system, we invite their attention to the appended data for which, we are indebted to reliable authority, 5 Scarlatina is distinguished from other eruptive fevers by the fact of the eruption being an efflorescence or a rash. The disease sometimes commences with a chill and inmost cases vomiting is a primary symptom especially in children. The pulse in general is frequent. The surface of the body often gives to the touch a burning sensation. The rash appears in'abont tv.enty t'oUr hours after the date of the invasion and.with 'yerjf few exceptions breaks first on the fca.and neck, being diffused over the whole skin in the course of twenty four hours.

The color of the rash is scarlet whence the name. The rash in some cases is equally diffused over the whole skin, giving rise loan appearance like that of a lioilecl lobster. In other cases it is limited lo' patches varying in number and size, with irregular margins. The skin is somewhat swollen, and the rash occasions a burning sensation, with, in some cases, intrnse itching. Very generally the eruption takes place in the throat, more or less redness being apparent here, simultaneously with or before the appearance of the rash on the skin.

Gen erally with the redness there is more or less 1 swelling of the tonsils; Some cases are char acterized bv seveit inflammation of the throat accompanied by either an ash colored product or an exudation resembling that which takes place in diphtheria, and with this atli ction of the throat the glands of the neck become in flamed and sometimes suppurate. The inllam mation in some rare eases extends from the i throat into the middle ear, resulting in more 1 or less impairment of the sense of hearing. The eruption of the skin continues from four to six days. The cuticle then exfoliates and is separated either in the form of brannvscales or in larire flakes or Hatches. Tn soni 1 the cuticle may be stripped off like a glove, i The itching in this stage is extremely annoy I ing.

This continues, in favorable cases, from lour to six days when convalescence is est a I lished. Frequently, however, this staye is i i much protracted. The disease in a certain ully on their way to Amilyville, this county, proportion of cases is extremely mild, the pa met with the following accident: Near Earl ticnt perhaps not being confined to the bed.

Manatawny creek, ml Drove fatal within a few days or even hours In the horse scaring at a fish net commenced to no other disease are the two extremes more widely separated.

Scarlet fever is highly con tagious. '1 he infectious material remains for a long time in garments, preserving its power of producing the disease, which from the reception of the infection to the period of incubation is sometimes not more than twenty lour nours ana raniy exceeds a week, a rule the disease is experienced but once, but exceptions are not very rare. Children are Dinch more susceptible than adnlis. Alter 40 years the susceptibility cease Children under two years rarely contract the disease. The treatment in mild cases of, scarlet fever is verv simple.

It suffices to diminish the animal heat by sponging the body and giving cooling drinks, with such palliative remedies as particular symptoms may denote, observing proper hygienic precautions. In severe casoB the use of the cold bath or the wet pack is highly beneficial, not' merely as affording relief but diminishing danger. The value in this disease of the direct abstraction of heat, Iit these means, has been fully established. Fat bacon or some oleaginous preparation allavs the itching and lessens the severity of the disease. i i There are no known remedies which eiert it specific control oyer tldV disease, mime over the continued and the other eruptive fevers.

Care during convalescence is consid ered as especially important, lhis care re lates particularly to exposure to cold.

What are our own people doing Have the fires of patriotism in the hearts of our citizens been dampened We trust not. It would seem that the Centennial year, fraught with memories of the past and brilliant hopes for the future, should elicit some enthusiasm, Reading Railroad Precautions.

In order to render as safe as possible the transit of the numerous passenger trains on the Richmond branch of the Reading Railroad, as ell as on the other lines of the company in and near Philadelphia, no coal trains will be permitted to pass Falls of Schuylkill after a specified hour in the morning.

L'This' sort of tandinage obtaineiTamohgthe more sanguine, while the more earnest friends of the'two clubs believed that the would be decided bv superior skill at the bat1 and in. the Strange to say, the first inning exhibited ft lack of thnt, brilliant play on the part of the home, club, which the spectators had a right to exiect. Through a seeming half hearted ness the Quicksteps made four runs, and when the Actives again sought the field they had but one run on the rard in.

their favor. The second inning showed both clul were on their mettle and neither Moral. Thfe third Jnning resulted in two runs for the'Qniekstepaud one for the Active. During this time the clouds had gathered, and a few dashes of rain cast a damper over the players and lookers on. The ground became soft anil, slippy and the ball grew and soggy, The fourth inning opened amid a light rain fall.

The Actives scored one run, and (hen the rain descended in tflrrents, driving the men from the field. This also concluded the day 'b sport. Of course the' work done yesterday amounts to nothing. On this account the announcement was made that the game would be played to day at the same place and at the same, hour, and the visitors remained over night for this purpose. To day is therefore brimful of great expectations.

The betting is in favor of the Quickstep. The Young Shibe and the Rising Star played a game yesterday. Rising Star was defeated by a score of 35 to l. Things at Pottstown. 1NC1DKXTS OP THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS A DAIUN'O OUTRAGE THE TOWN DECORATIONS.

294 Trains Over the Reading Road Every Day. A faint idea of the magnitude of the business done by the Reading Railroad Company at and near the Centennial grounds, may be formed when it is learned that 2i4 trains pass the Falls, of Schuylkill every day, not more than from 2 to 10 minutes apart, and at Belmont a still greatir number are collected that pass over the Imaiii line from Broad and Callowhill streets. It will require exiellent management and ex recdinglv great care to prevent accidents. This the Company have provided agaiust by placing some of their best men in charge.

His is a business in our citv for the sale of luriiries started in the hardest limes with great difficulties to encounter, but through an indom itable energy and a persistent judicious use 01 in ink, scattered through our pages since his arrival in our city, his business has grown even through these hard times until he stands prominent among our business fraternity as a suecessml tradesman proving the fact that extensive advertising pays and success will surely follow as the reward of an earnest effort.

One hundred years ago our country was new and but partially settled. Our necessities have compelled us to chiefly expend our means and time in felling foresu, subduing prairies, building, dwellings, factories, ships, docks, warehouses, toads; canals, machinery, etc. Most of our schools, churches, libraries and asylums have been established within an hundred years, liurtliened by these great primal works of necessity, which could 110t.be delajed, we yet have done what this Exhibition ill show in the direction of rivaling older and more advaneed natliuia In law, meiliehie Slid theology; in science, literature, philosophy and the line arts.

From the Toledo Blade. Specialties in Medicine We publish on our eighth page a lengthy article describing the system of the noted specialist, Dr. Pierce, of Bulliilo, N.

in which he sers forth ith considerable force and clearness his reasons for devoting his whole time ami attention to a single department ol medicine the treatment ot limrering chronic diseases. The same article also takes up the subjects ol diagnosis, methods ot consul tation and treatment, and will be found to contain many valuable hints to the invalid. Dr. Pierce is the author of a woik which lias already attained a lurirecireii lation "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser" roittiiining sonic nine hundred nu meroihly illiistraled irfurcs, and devoted to medicine in all Its branches, a work well cal uilaled for the guidance a id instruction of the people at large, and which may be had for sl.5u (post paid) by addressing the author Dr. Pierce has now been before the peucral public long enough to enable the formation of careful estimate ot the efficiency of his treat tin nt and liia medicines, and the verdict, we are glad to know, has been universally favorable to both.
