Nessrs. Editors have seen with pleasure in
several of our city papers some very interesting
articles on the subject of fairs.
1t is subject which opens a wide field for re-
Election; it is one in which the great nations of
Europe and the older States of the Union have
long manifested ardent interest and their foster
ing care has been always crowned with success.
By opening to every branch of industry and in
vention tribunal at which the value of every
product may be justly tried and its producer re-
warded according to his merits, spirit of compe-
ttion that never slumbers has gone forth, all
classes have been taught the value of labor the
most convenient and profitable sources of trade
have been discovered, and objects of COM
mere, either foreign domestic are daily brought
to light These few among the great benefits
resulting from fairs
The recent fair at st. Louis a city away back in
the West, is striking illustration of the effects of
fairs. The st. Louis institution was only estab-
lished in December, 1885, and yet at the late exhi-
biton fifty thousand strangers visited that city to
attend the fair. The railroads, steamboats,. and
common carriers all shared in the benefits of this
mighty concourse of travellers; while in ST. Louis.

dustry.
Our adjoining sister State will commence her an.
nual State Fair at jackson, on Monday l4th inst 1t
is to be hoped that many of influential citizens
both from the country and city, will visit it and be-
come awakened to the Importance of New Orleans
and the State of Louisiana following the example
set before them in Europe, as well as most of the
States of the Union.
Indeed New Orleans possesses many attractions
and advantages for the establishment of an Annual
Fair Planters, as well as many other citizens from
different parts of Louisiana, spend some time in
our city in the winter season, and would be able.
without loss of time inconvenience to give it
close attention and investigation and be induced
to aid in promoting its success.
The large floating population in New Orleans
during the winter would also contribute largely to
the receipts of the Exhibition.
Mcssrs. Editors, the earnest and able manner
your paper has advocated the interests and pro-
gress of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana
induces me to hope that You will give hearty sup
port to the establishment of an Industrial EXHIBIT
ton in New Orleans.

COME BACK TO ME.

From the New York Sunday Times.l
Where dost thou linger?-thou whose gentle bearing
Seemed still the promise of gentle heart?
Yet who, DER ALL q manly pride still wearing
Oh shall we walk forevermore apart?
Now thou art gone, the truth is clear before me
The truth l saw not whilst thou still vert near
Would that might yet to my side restore thee
By the brief sentence, " Thou to me art dear -
Thy voice of music, in my car still sounding,
Robs Of all sweetness every other tone;
With loving kindness DER my path abounding,
Without thy presence am sad and lone.
In vain to me another's worth is proven,
Vainy in tender cares his love is shown;
Thy memory, with all my thoughts inwoven
Through every trial holds me still thy own.
The humblest home to which thy hand might lead
me,
When shared with thee would beautiful appear
With all that wealth could give, my heart would
need thee
And all without thee would be dark and drear.
My soul is weary with its sad, vain longing,
And yet thy coming, hoping still, doth wait;
While thou thine own true heart art blindly
wronging-
Return, beloved one, ere it be too late

DEVASTATING EXTRAORDINARY.-ln these days,
and at this particular season, when the above
manly and bracing exercise is carried on with
such unfinching energy in the wild woods and
mountains of the North, it may not be out of place
to give the general reader an idea of the Way in
which it is sometimes managed in another region.
In Central America, that is, the isthmus which
connects North and South America, somewhere on
the borders of Nicaragua, and some miles from
Leon, its capital, they have custom of sending the
OK a deer stalking, and they actually force the
brute to undergo a preliminary education to make
him up to his work.
He is tied to a tree by his horns and is freuently
beaten on the head, near the roots of his horns,
till the latter are oosened and, of course rendered
extremely sensitive. cord is then fastened to
each tip, and he is then guided as easily as we'll
broken horse.
After some time the horns get we'll, not however
until he has acquired the habit of being guided by
them.
When this system of ox-breaking has been suf
iciently tested, and when the animal is well " in
hand,' he is brought out to stalk ; and, what is
strangest of ALL in very short time he pursues the
sport with all the keenness and gusto Of the most
expert and inveterate stalkers.
Mr.. Byam, who gives the account, says alt is
really curious to watch the scientific mode in which
an experienced OK conducts the operation ON an
open plain; he must take pleasure in it, or else
acts the part to perfection. No sooner does he
perceive a deer on the open plain, than down goes
his head and he nbbles, or pretends to nbblc, the
grass, walking in circular direction, as if he were
going round and round the deer; but the cunning
file always takes step Sideways for every one he
takes in front, so as to be constantly ap-
preaching his victim. In large open plain
the OK will take two entire circles, or more,
round the game, before he has narrowed the
inner one Sufficiently to enable the hunter to
take aim within proper distance; and the first
notice the unsuspecting stag receives is an arrow,
generally behind the shoulders-a gunshot is best
directed at the neck, bnt an arrow as above for it
impedes the movement of the deer. An ex-
perienced huntng-ox is best let alone as he is far
more cunning than any hunter, and always keeps
his master 5 well hidden i he IS only checked by

PARALLELS TO THE JUDGMENT OF SOLOMON
Some time since, one of our correspondents desired
to know parallel to Solomon's judgment. One
occurs in Gesta Romanorunl. Three youths, to de-
eide question: are desired by their referee, the
King of Jerusalem, to shoot at their fathers dead
body. Only one refused and to him, as the right
full heir, the legacy is awarded. In the Harleian
MSS is similar story, told as occurring in the
Kingdom of Pegu. One woman's child was car
ried away by the alligator; she and another woman
claim the child; they are desired to pull for it j;
the infant cries, and one Instantly quits her hold
and the judge awards the child to her The former
incident was frequently quoted in the pulpit. The
Emperor Claudius when woman refused to own
her son, ordered them to be married. The
mother confessed her child at once. Probably this
is the incident for which the inquiry was made.
