and HAL specimen of plumbago from
tins Disiriri. FIom our portion Of ihr

iirle for exhibition unless we unite and
devise means for sending all together.
Nnihlng has been done by The State itself.

products and other subjects proper ior
exhihiiion, and 10 provide lnr their nans-
mission To New Yoik. the expenses be.
ing betrayed by such funds as may he
contributed lnr .ha. purpose BY public
spirited individuals in each .tllstriei.
This plan. il properl, carried oul, can
moi fail Of doing something TO place he.
lore The world the nnmherle.s good
things in our gnnd old State.
