THE GREAT JUBILEE.

A Season of Festivity iu the Northwest. Cincinnati is a busy place just now, and her citizens are in a condition of tho liveliest enthusiasm. The Queen City was selected as the central point of the demonstration by the children of the pioneers who settled the great Northwest Territory, in honor of their ancestors and of the wonderful progress of their chosen homo in the century which has elaped since the white race took possession of tho country. “The Mother of Expositions" has a record to keep up, and a tour through the extensive buildings in which the Centennial Exposition is to be given shows that there is no occasion for "viewing with alarm” the prospects of this most important demonstration. The new buildings erected expressly for the occasion. In addition to the permanent brick ones of huge proportions, have already been added to. as all available space was taken by June 1. On July 4 the wheels of the machinery began to revolve, the doors were opened, and for one hundred days and nights Cincinnati will be a vast picnic ground.
