GOD'S PLANS. Correspondence OPENING OF THE PERMANENT EXPOSITION. POSITION. A GALA DAY IN PHILADELPHIA. 80,000 VISITORS IN THE MAIN BUILDING. President Hayes Declares the Exposition Open. Incidents of the Day etc, etc. PHILADELPHIA, May 14, 1877. International Press Bureaus Letter. When ye goodly William Penn quaintly trusted tliat Philadelphia would become -a greene conntrye towne" an unconscious prophecy was echoed from the eminently respectable broadbrim. Though grown tip geo graphically, industrially and commer cially, Philadelphia for almost a century closely resembled a "countrye towne," and withal a very green one, until 1S7G, she suddenly developed into a metro polis. All the world wns then amazed at the unexpected indications of Yankee enterprise and energy everywhere vis ible. The inertia of other years was ap parent only and the Centennial Exhibi tion was the natural outgrowth of a modest, quiet, but not dormant spirit already felt in numberless directions of human effort. The sweets of pub lic recognition and adulation, once tast ed the Centennial season had sca-eely closed before ten thousand tongues clam ored for the rverpetuity of the superb cosmos of wonders, and ere the eventful year faded into the mighty past, the Ex hibition was no longer a mgue sugges tion, but a predestined facL A company with a capital of $500,000, was f jrmed; thousands of exhibitors immediately- offered contributions; the Main Build ing was purchased for $2o0,000; its 20 acres of floor space rearranged for varied uses; the elaborate displays prop erly installed; hundreds of noted person ages responded favorably to the invita tion to be present, and on the 10th of May, 1877, the anniversary of the great Centennial inaugural, the Permanent International Exhibition was open to the world. To convey any adequate idea of the enthusiastic reception which in this city greeted the new en terprise would require not a newsletter, but a series of descriptive articles, aided by the combined powers of photographs, paintings, dioramas and the latest im proved telephones, Meteorologically the day differed but Utile from its memorable predecessor. Old Probabilities telegraphed the night before that the weather would be clear, but he must have found considerable difficulty in keeping his promise, for the sky was overcast with threatening clouds from the hours which the alma nac asservated that the sun rose and set, and the entire force of the Weather Burea could not prevent a few trickling tears escaping Dame Nature during the afternoon. Staid old Philadelphia how ever has seen too many monster celebra tions to be frightened by an ominous cloud, and, therefore, notwithstanding the dusky light, every street in the city was in gala-dress, myriads of flags and streamers of all imaginable shapes, sizes, and nationalities fluttered in the breeze; heavy festoons of red, white and blue bunting rustled about the larger build ings, while from innumerable flag ports galy waved the American colors. At an early hour the air wa vocal with the hurrying roll of numberless vehicles en route to the Exposition grounds; the street cars heavilv freighted bewled along at double speed; merry shouts of joyous lauirhter minded with tne ireaa of steeds and the ceaseless rumble of carriages, and ever and anon the rever berating thud of a bass drum, the enliv ening rattle of smaller but noiser instru ments of torture; the shrill, piercing notes of accompanying fi?8 and ihe dis tant harmonica tf brass tends all com bined to tell the story ol general rejoic ing. Neither a national nor a munici pal en'eprise is the new Exhibition, and yet it was very evident that last Tht-.rs day the great public had determined to give it a good send off, and they did. By half past nine o'clock the aspect of the Centennial grounds vividly recalled the gavest of red-letter day of 1S7G. Barring the absence of a few red tur baned Turks, outlandishly attired Moors. dark-skinned Tunissians. black-eyed Egyptians, monogram-backed Japanese and pig-tailed Chinamen the general ap pearance of the scene was delightfully, yet in some respects painfully sugges tive of a glorious season which cannot in our life time return. The Main Building, in which the present Exposi tion is held, the Machinery Hall and Horticultural Hall still stand in all their pristine wmder of architectural expanse and beauty. The Judges Pavilion. the Japanese, Swiss, German and En glish buildings also remain and here and there can be seen the several State cottages presented to the city. All the statues, monuments and fountains in cluding the marble statue of "Washing ton crossing the Delaware,"' the exquis itly beautiful troup of "Religious Lib erty," presented by the Hebrew socie ties, the artistic statue of -Columbus," erected by the "Italians; and the mon ster fountain and collection of statues contributed by the TAB Union, still adorn the gracefully bordered avenues while the absence of the unsightly fence and scattering booths give the place a park-like and cosmopolitan air prev iously unknown. Through this vast and now truly magnificent space, the crowds roamed at will, (except that they looked less care worn and travel stained.they dif fered little in general appearance from those seen last year,) but at 11 o'clock the signal was given for opening'the East arid West doors of die Main Building, and then followed the usual rush for the entrances; the familiar jamming at the turnstiles (demoniacal contrivances in herited from the Centennial) and until 2 o'clock, P M, the stream of humanity ever increasing in amplitude and impa tience poured into the vast struture. In the meantime, the invited guests, includ ing city, State and national officials, members of the foreign legation and officers of the army and navy besides a heterogenious collection of school teach ers, preachers, real and assumed mem- bers of the press," politicians, merchants and others which means the personal friends of the management were push ing their arduous way in through the Elm avenue gate and frantically scram bling for seats The crush of opening day at the Centennial will long be pain fully remembered by many readers, but all that crowding was out doors in the pure air of heaven. Here almost as great a multitude was enduring the same strain on mental, moral and phys ical energies, but it was all indoors and much of the time the atmosphere was filled with suffocating dust Did the discomfitted visitors snap and growl and extemporize little feuds to be settled after school?" ot a bit of it. fcvery individual determined not to be obliter ated by the crowd, but at the same time the American free-born spirit of good nature reigned supreme and ephemeral tortues were endured heroically, while the victims sadly smiled and begged pardon. Here and there to lie sure thej healthy Yankee motto, "Don't tread on me," was illustrated, but in such cases crowd in the immediate vicinity of disputants would quickly decide was right and by the potent mag- natism of pure moral force compel the would-be "bull-dozer" to recognize the own personality and the harness of abstract human rights. Up to this time no' .r.e in a thousand hud' thought of ihe Exhibit;!.! proj.-r. and- only rememberancc ibose h immediately after the ceremonies coti'd have carried away was a confined recol- lection of a gorgeously painted organ,! crowds, crystal chandeliers, crowds,! marble, bronze and clay statues, crowds, rases of silver, gold and ceramioj crowds, an iron fountain of April- like spravs, crowds, and the unfinished roofs of several miniature edilices whose uses were undetermined. For inaugural exercises a gradually as j eeoding platform capable of seating 3000 persons, hat! been constructed in the north transcept from the floor to' the organ gallery, and on this were seat ed the most distinguished guests, the clionii of 1000 voices, and Uie orches-'es tr. But from this stage exteded lines of seats clear out to the centre of the building. Long before 2 o'clock all the seats on tbe floor and nearly all the scats on the stage were occupied and all that the representatives of the press who had excellent positions, geographically, could distinctly recognize, was that they were in some vast auditorium with the colossal bronze statue of "Liberty in the back ground, an indiscribablc array of pavilions, courts, columns, arches and industrial exhibits on both sides, a sea of huuiin heads in front, an ticean of anxious countenances behind, and a ris ing wave of very contented faces on the stage in the distance, these gradually ascending to the organ gallery on the north side. On each side and towering far above the main auditorium were two arcades extending from the centre tow ers to the organ gallery and these like every other solid structure in the yicin ity were crowded with people who gazed exasperating enjoyment upon the misery of the victims below. Fancy 80,000 people, packed in one auditorium, some on the main floor, some on the stage and others on the balconies, arcades. towers and cases surrounding the enclos ure, while numerous adverturous sprrits are perched upon every structural or or namental projection lef; by the archi tect, and then remember that this audi torium was but the transcep, a mere adornment to the real Exhibition edifice and you will have some idea of the ap pearance of the audience on the opening day and the size of the structure known as the Exhibition Building. Tlie entire Union Army at the beginning of the war might have been quartered in this transcept, had the Main Building been then in existence, and only Brown "mind readera" could tell how long it would have taken General McClellan to find them. After much exercise ofl Christian fortitude, the hour of two fin ally arrived and then the great organ pealed forth its mighty waves of patriot ic harmonies, one national air following another until Gov Hartranft and Staff of Pennsylvania and Gov Bedle of New Jersey, entered when the music was drowned by the cheers of their admirers. Both gentlemen had come direct from their homes and though Gov Hartranft's handsome features showed the effect of I very impressive but in such a crowd no one can hear the speeches (which in this case were wisely distributed in pham the phlet form beforehad and can be obtain thc ed on application), and only the. fortisi who mo passages of the instrumental music were dearly audible. When Bishop j Stevens approached the front and pnrti pettynessofhis ally closed his eyes we all knew the opening prayer was being offered and every hat went offand every head was Jaiued in respectful attitude. Mr Cle the leftimentM iJid.iSe, the President then arose ' and as he moved his lips we know he was delivering the sjieech printed in the pamphlet This address refers to the Exhibition as it is and as it may become, and I therefore make the following ex elegant tracts which will doubtless prove of in waie, terest, He said : --Our object has been to establish a Per precise ruanent Exhibition of the noblest prod the ucts of human skill, and to further the impulses given by the Centennial to the cultivation of a refined taste, to intellect in nnl and physical enjoyments, and to ihe travel, thev lit up with nleaeure at the warm reception accorded him and the bland countenance of Gov Bedle became even more childlike in its innocent joy. Thev were received bv tle President of the International Exhibition Co, Mr Clement M Biddle.and escorted to seats near the front of the stage. A few mo ments later, Ex President Grant, -who had arrived from New York the day before and spent the night at the resi dence of Mr J W Paul of this city, was escorted iuto the Building bv a Commit- tee of Councils and was received with - T "- marked demonstrations of welcome. He was given a seat on the right of the State chair, reserved for President Haves. At about 13 miuutes after 2 o'clock, President Hayes, who Iiad been escorted from the Continental Ilo-el, by the First City Troop reached the Elm avenue entrance; the cheer with which ha was greeted, was echoed through the vast auditorium and his difficult passage through isles to the platform was a continous ovation. He was conducted to the State chair on the Peft f the platform and Mr Biddle who presided over the ceremonies occupied the other. The President and Ex-Pres ident were thus seen within a foot of each other, but in all other respects they seemed a long distance apart Certainly no two men could be more opposite in personal characteristics, and yet both have certain indications of persistency so necessary for public suc cess. President Hayes' forehead is higher than Grant's, his organs of veneration are more fully developed, his upper lip is shorter and his mouth more delicately chiseled. Grant looks like the great General that he is, Hayes like the Statesman tliat he evidently hopes to become; the one represents physical force, the other moral; the one the army, the other the people. Near President Hayes was his son Webb, a prepossessing young man, and on either side sat Mayor Stokely with his Napoleonic countenance. Bishops Stephens and Simpson, Director Gener al Goshorn, Hon John Websh, President of the Centennial Board of Financc.Hon James G Blaine. A little further back were Gov Hartranft, who refused a con spicuous scat, Hon Wm Evarts, Secre tary of State, Hon John Sherman, Sec retary of Treasury; Hon Charles Dev ens, Attorney Oneral; Hon G W Mc Crary, Secretary of War; Hon Geo II Boker, Minister to Russia, Sanda Tad- jashi, Japanese Commissioner. Hie United States Army and Navy were fully represented by distinguished officers from both branches of the ser vice. There were also present a num ber of Governors and Congressmen from other States, Government officials from Washington and other places, judges of I nited States and other Courts, Ac. ( m the whole it was as commanding an as semblage as that which digniffeed the opening ceremonies a year ago. It was generally expected that Gov Tilden would be present and when Secretary Evarls took his seat he was rapturously applauded by those who were deceived by the facial resemblance between the two distinguished men. The Exhibi tion Chorus of 1000 voices was groupsd in the upper part of the stage while the or chestra was placed directly in the cen- 'tre. The Ceremonies should have lieen encouragement and development of a wholesome competition among all class- of producers, so that our halls shall be tilled with an atmosphere of all that is ... - . . . beneficial and useful to mankind. In pursuance of this idea, we have united in our plans the most prominent and attractive features of similar institutions in Europe and this country, an Aquar ium; arqhitectu.'d features which will show the various styles of the different ages of the world, reproducing the Egyp tain temple of three thousand years ago; the Pompcian Court, and the Moorish Alhambra. We intend to show, in pro cess of manufacture, the specialties of the world. We hoi soon to have here the Neapolitan coral worker, the Brus sels lacsmakermanufacturersot mosaics and jewelry, of Bohemain and Yenetian glassware, of Turkish embroidery, of Russian malachite and of Japanese lac quer ware. Ey the combination Lttely perfected with the Pennsylvania Muse um and School of Industrial Art, their splendid collection in Memorial Hall, as well as that of the society of Mining Engineers, opens to the lovers of art and science a wide field for enjoyment. The ladies who so nobly supported the Cen tennial Board of Finance, have under taken to show the home and peasant life of various countries. Already they have the New England log cabin, the Indian wigwam, the German dwelling and the jahrmarkt, and their plans em brace representations of all nations, Asiatic and African, as well as European and American. While our aim has been to make the entire collection a grand educational school an object lesson on a large scale where the laborer, farmer, mechanic.mannCicturer.merchant schol ar can each find in some part that which will best meet his peculiar want", we have given especial attention to our ed ucational section as the foundation of all permanent improvement and prosperity in any nation. Under the direction of the Council of Education, composed of some of the leading educators of the world, a great want in former exhibi tions has been supplied. Seven classi fied model school rooms have been erect ed, where teachers and others interested can find the latest improvements in school systems, furniture, books ar.d aj pliances. It is less than lour months a since we obtained posssessiyn of this building.

It so happened tliat the tele graph man liad forgotten to close the circuit at this point and this individual was therefore much to hia clmRrin com pelled toclimb upon the platform and send the message himself. In the next instant all the machinery in the Build ing was in motion. The benediction was pronounced by Bishop Simpsonand then SO, 000 people made a simultaneous attempt to get out in S0.000 defferent directions and consequently for the next 15 minutes the crowd though pushing heroically remained just where it was. Finally the aisles were partially cleared and the remainder cf the day was spent by the multitude in viewing the display or attempting to ride home without being obliged to stand in the overloaded street cars. President Hayes was driven direct to Germantown, where he dined with Mr Edward T Steel, and in the evening held a" reception at Mr Steel's residence. About 1000 guests were present, including many of those men tioned .is on the stage.

METROPOLITAN NEWS. From our Special Correspondent. From our Special Correspondent. NEW YORK, May, 15th, 1877. J j ! i I The sudden departure of William M. Vandcrbilt for Europe, on Saturday, has given rise to all kinds of wild speculation upon the subject. No one seems to know anything about it. neither rela tions, nor business acquaintances, but he went off as suddenly as if he had been Tweed's most intimate and nearest-to-thc city-treasury friend in those halcyon days when the "Boss" ruled in Now York. The connection of Teniae C Claflin's name with his departure is odd. That she should have made & claim against the old Commodore 's estate is by no means surprising to people here. It was a generally understood thing that Yanderbilt was their backer when they went into au btreet, and also when they started their peculiar paper. Still if Tennie did claim $100,000 it is a little strange that William M Yanderbilt should have been frightened off by that. Law suits arc looming up around him, however, more than he anticipated. Some of the gilt edging has been rub bed off of Central with the general mang ling of other stocks.and altogether since his father's death the Railway King's successor's head lias lain as uneasy as a ny other's tliat wears a crown.

They prepared for Barn urn's show on Sunday, they prepared for the dogs on Sunday, and last Sunday they were busy gettingeady for the Carnival BalL There had been over 1300 dogs there the week previous, more or less infested with that infinitesimal insect, that with a hop, skip and a jump tends to produce a gen eral uncomfortableness both in dogs and human beings. Wether tliat assisted in the slightest degree in making the dancing lively I cannot say, but there was a sort of tarantula like vivacity in some of the movements of the grotesque assemblage that could not be ascribed even to the fact that the dyspeptic and melancholy American was trying toim itate the mad but natural folly of the sunny Italian. He did it as gracefully for the most part, but with less ease than a dancing jack, and as the clown is to the circus with his practical awkward ness, so was the genuine, American to the Carnival, naturally, and because he couldn't help it I will write you more about it next time. It is very fortunate that the slow driv ing enforced, the presence of many pol icemen,and the general care taken pre vents any frequency of run a-way's in Central Park. The lossof life occasion ed by the fright, the throwing off and injuring the driver, the breaking of the pole of the carriage, and the final fatal injury of two of the ladies who were driving, while very sad, may still be looked upon as wonderfid that more were not involved in the catastrophe. The Park is always so full of vehicles that a run-a-way there is more likely to result in the frightening of other horses than even in our public streets. Fortu nately, no other vehicles were run into, and other horses were kept well in hand, so that with the exception of the occu pants of the one that met with the acci dent, no one was hurt Nor would these ladies have been had they remained quietly within; but, wild with terror, they sprang out. one of them being kill ed at once, and the other fatally injured. . . . The other, a young girt, remained per- fectly quiet, being paralyzed with fear and unable, fortunately for her, to follow the example of the older women. The : I horses were stopped in their mad flight, without overturning the rrjTinge, and the young girl senseless from fright, taken out, otherwise unharmed.

I heard, tbe other day of the. probable saving of an entire family from hydro phobia. They had hired a house in the country for the summer, and the night before moving some one gave the eldest daughter, a lovely girl oi eighteen, a young Spitz. The next day she started for the Grand Central depot w ith it, and just as she got out of the car the dog es caped. She chased it down Park aven ue, assisted by glowering policemen with clubs, while the affrighted people ran in all directions. At last she caught it just in time to save it from being brained by the minion of the law. "I caught tip the darling and hugged it as close as I cotild; but the tighter I hugged it the louder it iquealed and struggled. At List it got away from me and went to my fislerand wouldn't come back. Afterwards I found out what was the matter. I don't mind telling you (she wtts talking to a lady friend) tliat I wear p.p's. I don't pretend to know what they are, ami so don't know there was a pin in the waist of my dress sticking into the little dar ling. I couldn't get him back a-'ain-and when we got into the cars he howled so and people made such a fuss, we had to take a section to ourselves. When we got there, there was no car riage nor anything and we finally left our luggage and walked about a mile through the mud. The house wasn't finished and we finally went two miles more. They did'nt want to take the dog in, but finally said, if we would leave it in the garret by itself, it might stay. It howled for three davs and then died. You won't tell any one about the p p's, will you? was her last remark, but she did not seem to realize that the death of the Spitz, was probably a prudential sal vation of the whole family from hydro phobia. She mourned him as if he had been a brother. j I WASHINGTON LETTER. [From our Special Correspondent.] [From our Special Correspondent.] WASHINGTON, D. C. May 14, 1877. Interest in the Mexican matters for the past few days has been somewhat stimulated by the reported decision of the President and Cabinet, to at once no tify the Mexican Government that a re recurrence of the cattle stealing expedi tions of its citizens, across the Rio Grande, into Texas, would be regarded as a sufficient provocation for ordering General Ord to pursue them across the frontier, and to continue the chase until the marauders were severely punished. Saturday evening, the Star gave public ity to a good many rumors heard here during the two or three preceding days, relative to the organization of a lillibus- tering expedition, having for its objec tive point the State of Sonora, and the subversion cf its present Government The Republican of this morning devotes nearly a column to thesubjeetjanil from these sources and common reports, I have been able to pick up the following particulars: It is understood that the movement has the sanction of tbe ex iled President Lcrdo, now in this city, and may be under his personal supervis ion. Several hundred thousand dollars are said to be pledged by capitali.-ts of San Francisco, Philadelphia and New York. Eighteen hundred volunteers are also asserted to have signed the rolls which it Ls proposed to increase to three thousand. General Yaughan Thomas, one of the mcn!ers of Walker's Nicara gua Expedition, and who seized and held the city of Guatamala fir tvro years, is one of the leading spirits, and is also here. Jas D Puston, (JeneraJ Frank Armstrong and General Joe Shelby, the two latter, ex-confederates, are also prominently named as the proIab!e commanders of the three columns in which it is to be divided at starting. One of these is to go by water from San Francisco, one from FJ Paso, and the other from the presn terminus of the Southern Pacific Railroad, these are to unite according to report, somewhere in Sonora, which State strongly sympathizes with Lerdo and desires his reinstate ment hen a juncuon sliall have been formed, it is said to be the intention to place Lerdo at the head of the exjiedi tion, and to proceed as far toward ihe Mexican Capital as the sentiments of the Mexican people apjiear to justify. There is no doubt mat the leaders nave at tempted to secure a promise froni Mr Evarts that he would not interfere, aa upon such promi.v? it is felt, dejiends very largely the fate of the enterprise. Mr Lerdo is the only President of Mex ico recognized bv this Government, and it continues to treat with Mr Mari sclial his Minister, as though there bad been no successful revolution. At the same time it has been obliged to hold semi-official relations with the President Diaz. From the reported statement of as sistant Secretary Seward, it would seern to be the purpose of that Department to observe all international obligations: but at the same time he pretty clearly indi cates how the managers can proceed without incurring any danger of inter ference from our Government It is freely alleged that the privilege of pushing our Southern frontier South ward to any reasonable limit lias been offered as an inducement to non-intervention. Mr Douglass succeeded in making the portion of our citizens who pride themselves on being known as "old Washingtoniana," very mad, by his rath er humorous lecture on Washington, delivered before a Baltimore audience few evenings ago, and acting upon the impulse of the moment petition were JErrZHSONIAN 'Steam Printing Office 'j'H-.WE who recognize thematic power of 1 pnoteis ink.

LOOSE WORK. Very much of the success of a life de pends upon the early training tliat the cluld receives. Not only his success but his health and happiness depend largely upon it It is essential that from the very beginning of his life he be trained to systematic thought and action; and the child that is thus trained up until it becomes a fixed habit, will be more like ly to succeed in wliat he undertake than the one who is not Many business failures have their origin in the school room. A bent twig often grows into a crooked' branch, and the chances are that the boy who is allowed to parse words and solve examples in a hap haz ard way will keep his business accounts in the same manner. The teacher who lias in his hands the training of immortal minds has assumed no small share of responsibility. And yet it is astonishing, when one thinks about it with what a small amount of consideration many persons enter upon the teacher's work. Men and women enter the profession and go to w ork as if they considered a human mind a no more difficult thing to manage than a hand saw, and indeed if drhing, simply, be the teacher's chief aim in life it is an easier thing often to drive a boy for six hours a day than it is to drive a hand saw for twelve hours. Laziness takes deep root in many hearts and it is con scienceless, hence we often do that which is easier whether it be best or not The consequence is that there are many per sons trying to teach who had better be sawing wood. The character of the young men of a community depends much upon that cf the young women. If the latter are cultivated, intelligent and accomplished, the young men will feel the require ments that they themselves should be upright, gentlemanly and refined; but if their female friends are frivolous and silly, the young men will be found dissi patetland. virtueless. But remember always that the sister is but the guardian of the brother's integrity. She is Uie sure inculcator of faith in female purity and worth. As a daughter, she is the fight of home. The pride of the father often centers in his sons, but his affec tion is expended on his daughter. She should, therefore, be the sun and center of all. 1 think I heard P T Barnum once call himself the "prince of humbugs," in a public speech, without knowing its origin, whicn lew know, "flumbug, which is in universal use, is said toeome from Ifttritrrfth Ibtf, a Scotch laird, (so called from his estate), who was cele brated in Edinburg society, during the teigns ol w iliiam and Anne, for the marvellous tone of his stories, in which he indulged so commonly that they be came proverbial; and thus a very long hot was always designated a regular -Hume of the Bog."
