child; deep sorrow is upon the old
mans s5ee, tears Of anguish /
are falling from his sunken eyes. /
Not more melancholy would be the
picture II
s.Pity herself were thus,
With paid featurez and dishevcled hair /
There was a slab anil a Mosaic
work representing the Temple Of
Neptune, and its surroundings en-
tirelv formed OF the minutest parti- /
eles of marble Of every color,
which cost Mr.. Avery (Jhe plough
man $4,000 in Italy But l fear
weary YOU; suffice is to say that
the louisville Exposition was the
most magnificent display OF art and
science and the wonders Of nature
It has been my fortune to-rWituess.
We were carried to- New Albany,
city Of 10000 inhabitants, ,oPPo-.
site to Louisville, in Indiana, where
we visited the glass and iron works,
and where they make a vast amount
|'of glass and are supplying much of
the railroad iron used n the South
and West, and it is said II he equal
to the European article. Within On
Hour and fifteen minutes after oar
return full account Of the visit
was published in the Exposition
building, where the Daily Ledger
is printed by steam, both sides ct
once. and folded.
Our next visit was to Cave Gene
T terry, fit city Of the dead, with its
mounds and fluctuations, its green
sward, its beautiful and various ev-
/ ergrccns, its grottoes and groves, its
booth anil mausolcum, its monu-
/ mcnts Of snow white. marble, its
walks. its flowers and shru5ery,-all
/ conspiriBg to touch the heart with
a melancholy yet pleasing, euchant-
ment There l SAW the graves of
many of the Confederate dead, and
tthen | saw these graves marked
each by a marble slab, with the
iname and date of their death, when
Fknowa. For this magnanimous
city, may your future be more bril-
liant than your past has been Illus
trious and successful!
The water works of Louisville, it
! is said, are the finest in the world,
except at Berlin; the Ohio river is
made the Cloacina, cleansing the
Fcity and bubbling up the crystal
waters in every house, operated by
machinery it is fearful to behold.
But the Banquet at the Gait
+ House was the great feature of the
LOecasiou. The earth contributed to
its splendor and completeness;
there were domestic wines, wines
Elrom IuaIy, from the Rhine, from
! California, wines from everywhere
sparkling, gushing, rosy wines,
wines clear as the crystal. The
North gave her ices and the isles of
the South yielded their wealth of
tropical flHits: the. sea sent its oys-
ters and crabs and the rivers their
4 fiAuy tribe; the mountains their an
teIopcs, and the. forest its fauow
deer; the west its luscious grape
saad delicious pear; the east its
I peaches and apples; Cuba came
with her costliest brand of cigars,
the south sea brought her aromatic
berry. In fact, everything the cpl
cure could wish WAS there, served
in must exquisite perfection.
+ BY each plate was placed a beau
tiful boquet Of rarestr flowers, and
the splendid silver service stretched
along the beautifully ornamented
tables gIinted in the light Of IN
hundred gas jets.
Louisville, 18th her generous,

Louisville, with her great soul and
palpitatiag heart why should she
mot be the scat of future empire
the capital of this great Republic,
holding IN her hand tile sceptre Of
social, c, numerical and political
Ipowcr? Sitting in queeuly majesty
upon the banks of her beautiful
/ river, ROBBED in regal splendor, in the
( te- tire of 81 region that is tributary
to her, more fertile, vast and varied
than France, more picturesque than
Italy, stretching forth her friend
ly hand to gather IN the treasures
.of the surrounding commonwealth,
located on a railroad reaching from
the Lakes to the Suit and crossing
the ATTITUDES favoring the inter
change of the productions of the va
rious chimes, from the ices Of the
North to the tropical fruits Of the
/ South, reaching with one hand the
I Northern lakes and with the other
grasping the great Father of Wa
tiers, whose commercial capacity is
equal to an inland sea, with her
Southern heart and Northern tact,
why should she not be the scat Of
