Term., April B.—The peoplej of Ter.nessoe will celebrate the 100th anni-| versary of the admlsigon of the state to the!Union by holding in this city, the capital!an international exposition, which will bej opened the Ist of May next, and wMI continueIuntil the Ist of November. For two years thej work of preparation has been going' forward.;and everything is almost ready for the opeu-j ing exercises. Itis true the buildings are notIconstructed to endure until the end of time,

but thoy show how beautiful our large build-iings could be made instead of the unshapelyi piles which too frequently disfigure our great! cities.

The Parthenon, the art building, Is an ex-act reproduction of that piece of '"frozen mv-

Isic" that stood on the Acropolis at Athens, and at Nashville, as in Greece, the g'gantScIstatue of Pallas Athenae stands before Itiand with outstretched hand points to theblessings that a bounteous Providence hasbestowed. Then there is the Erechtheon orhistory building, which at Athens stood near] the Parthenon, and here will be stored the| treasures that the mounds and caves and"rock houses" have given up to science. the relics of ihe stone age. the connecting!links by which it may some day becomeipossible to tell who were the first Tennesse--1 ans. That they inhabited Tennessee for manyj centuries before the arrival of Columbus oriDe Soto. or even of Eric and his Norsemenjis not difficult to prove. Dana wisely says!that "time is long." but by measuring the

The commerce building will contain theproducts of the liberal arts. It :s one of themost striking of the exhibition structures

\u25a0 being 591 feet long and 256 feet wide. The(

general style is based on the Corinthian and| lonic orders of the Graeco-Roman. The cen-tral dome lises to the he'.ght of 175 feet, and; affords a fine view of the grounds beneath

mTRANSFER OF GRANT'S COFFIX.

Task of Opening the Steel Cave-Cloned for Twelve Yean.

NEW YORK, April 10.—The prelimi-nary work of opening the steel case inwhich the coffin containing the bodyof Gen. Grant has been inclosed fortwelve years was begun- today. Whenthe steel casting has been removed thebody willbe transferred to the sarcoph-agus, which will be at once placed inthe. pit prepared for itin the new monu-ment.

The opening of the steel case involvesmany difficulties. When built the casewas intended to be permanent, and itwas riveted together. The work willrequire at least six hours of continuouseffort. The sarcophagus for Gen.Grant's body is of dark-red color, high-ly polished, and on the capstone is thesimple inscription:

ULYSSES S. GRANT.The coffin will be placed in the sar-

cophagus without being opened. Noone will be able to get within two

shady grove, a paradise for the future knightsand ladies of Tennessee.. The machinery biriMing is purely Greek,or, more correctly speaking, Greek-Doric,and is an ideal exposition building. It is375 feet long and 138 feet wide, and de-signed with especial reference to the mas-sive exhibit that It will contain.

The agricultural building, in which willbe displayed the products of the field, isconsidered by many to be the most ornatestructure of the exposition groups. It iain Renaissance style of architecture, ".GOfeet long by 200 feet wide. The necessarypapers transferring this building to thestate were recently executed and commis-sioner of Agriculture Allison is leaving noth-ing undone to make the display the best thathas ever been made on the continent. The\u25a0decorations in the interior are beautiful be-yond comparison, and are bucolic In everyfeature. The first thing that strikes the eyeof the visitor is the artistic grouping andfestooning of the grains and grassws, c0..---ton and moss that is used in the roof gables.The interior of the dome is decorated with. pictures of rural Jife, a wheat field, horsesat pasture, cows in the stream, etc.; thacolors being made up of seeds, moss, grainand bark and the rosettes and borded decor-ations of sections of corncobs, shucks, etc.,handled in such a dexterous manner ast toproduce an Incomparable effect. The artistengaged at this work- performed similar ser-vice at Chicago and at Atianta.

The negro building, standing as it doesclose to the lake front, is purely old Span-ish in design, and as one looks at it It re-calls pictures of the public buildings ivsome old Mexican or Central American city.It is a beautiful structure and the exhibitswillbe in keeping with the structure, and theworld will wonder that it can be possiblefor the negro, who less than half a centuryago was a slave, a mere chattel in the handsof his owner, to produce such results in 'theSunny South," the land of "Uncle Tom'sCabin" and "Southern outrage."

The government building will be cruci-form, surmounted by a dome closely re-sembling in general appearance the dome onthe new congressional library at Washington.Here everything will be In keeping with thewealth, dignity and greatness of the UnitedStates. A well has been drilled for the useof this building during the past week and aninexhaustible supply of good water obtainedat a depth of only forty-five feet.

The transportation building is remarkablefor its expressive poetic simplicity. Withoutthe use of a single column^ but merely inthe artistic grouping of the masses and pro-

blocks of the tomb on April27 unlesshe is a holder of a stand ticket. Thecommittees in charge of the land andnaval parades are still receiving en-couraging reports of hearty co-oper-ation from military, naval and publicmen throughout the country. FromPennsylvania word has come that thestate will send 5.000 of her picked mili-tiamen. New Jersey's entire nationalguard of 4.000 men has been orderedto New York to participate in the cere-mr nies.

PHILOSOPHY OF TRAMPIXG.

Professional Wanderer Gives theScience of It.

A singular interest Is attached to the pri-vate history of tramDS. Bays the LouisvilleCourier-Journal. Why men should voluntarilychoose to be homeless and wanderers uponthe face of the earth, to iive in filth andrags and to exist by begging, always re-mains a mystery to the people who workand live in houses and have families andbusiness concerns. It is a social and psy-chological problem to account for the exist-ence of this class

—for they are a distinct class

of society, and not, as they themselves gen-erally protest, the victims of circumstanceand accident. Tramping is their profession.There Is failure or success, according as therequisite qualities are brought to bear uponit. Your successful tramp is he who getsthe most to eat and the least number ofbaths, and who escapes in the greatestmeasure from the hard blows and buffets ofthis world.

Last night a reporter found a most ex-traordinary specimen of this class at theWayfarers' lodge. Without either believing

j or discrediting his story as he told it, is was; easy to see that his personality and careerI were remarkable among tramps. He dis-

coursed upon what he himself termed the"philosophy of tramping."

"Yea," he said, "there is a philosophy oftramping. There are reasons why Ichooseto live aa Ido. and Ithink, upon, reflection,that the principal one is an absolutely un-conquerable disinclination to work. Iwasweil born and well brought up, but Iwasalways remarkable for a lack of energy andforce which other men possess In varyingdegrees. Iread and thought a great deal,but Inever acted. Ihave observed the ac-tions of other men, their success or failure,and the reasons therefor, but Ihave never

A most attractive section of the expositionwill be "Vanity Fair," ai» Improved editionof the Midway Eiaisance, with streets ofCairo accompaniment. One may find here thenonchalenee of the "Latin quarter" wlthou>its so-called' freedom, or the spice of Mabileor Cremorne without any objectionable feat-ures. There ww no room for argumentabout what should be and what should not beallowed \r. Vanity Fair; the experience gainedat Atlanta was very valuable, and the execu-tive profited by it. The motto of DavidCrockett has been adopted, so no doubt canexist as to the propriety of any amusementor exhibition.

Are there not mental diseases as pron-ounced and as incurable as physical ones'They have the energy; 1 have not, andnothing can ever give it to me. Ican accus-tom myself to anything passive and nega-tive, as uncleanliness, rags and poor food,but it is impossible lor me to get used tosuch a positive and active thing as work.Do you think that Ihave never tried. Heraat this place we must work for our foodand lodging, and Iwas put to sawing wood.Imade an effort, but was soon discouragedand, refusing to try any more, Iwas toldthat Imust leave ifIwould not work. It lanot that Iwould not, but Ican not. So Iam going to leave in a few minutes.""Young man," he said, and a certain lightof memory shone momentarily in his eyes,"you imagine, do you not, that Iregret thepast, compared to the present, and that 1am a miserable and unhappy creature? Ican assure you that it is not so. It is truethat formerly, as long as Ihad money, Ien-joyed life, but Ihave learned to enduro thisexistence, at least without pain. Ihave nodesire to be otherwise than as Iam. Conse-quent.y Iam nearer to contentment thanmany men of better fortunes, who are tor-mented with hope and fear, and are alwaysconcerned with dissatisfaction with theirpresent, and apprehensions of their futureaftairs.

Ido not care if It raJnsfor Ido not mind being wet; the weatherdoes not concern, me, for in the winter Iamin the South; clothes enough are given meIget enough to eat and smoke; Ibelievenothing, Ihope nothing, Iexpect nothing.In short, Iam as contented as a human be-ing may be, and Icail myself a philosopher.Ihave more right to that title than menwho torment themselves with speculationsabout infinity, and the soul of man, and athousand other things which are of no con-sequence in this world. 1 live what Ipreachand that is. nothing. From my position ofpeace and contentment, ioaav look with pityupon men who struggle only to fajl,a£ last,whose desires aid never realized, who hopeand are ever disappointed, who- expect muchand receive little, and who finally lay downtheir wearisome burdens, and are glad todie. Happy am Ito escape these things,and to live or to die with an equal indif-ference and contentment."

The reporter had begun to think seriouslyof becoming a tramp, and of exchanging hislife for this glad and careless condition, socharmingly pictured by this philosopher,when the approach of Capt. Black, th»superintendent of the Wanderers' lodge,warned the man that he was expected to de-part.
