First Grand Industrial ExpOsitiOn-The
First Week.
An hour passed in the spacious EXPOSE
ton halls last evening was proftably Occu-
pied in noting the elegant display of rich
and rareggoOds, the inventions of Louisiana
genius. and the massive machinery for agri-
cultural and mechanical purposes.
The halls were thronged with fashionable
people, and the promenaders enjoyed them
selves amazingly in stopping here and there
and everywhere, and examining the hand
some displays. We have predicted that
Exposition Hall would become a fashionable
resort for our citizens and visitors, and we
shall not be disappointed.
Nearly the entire space is already taken,
and exhibitors are satisfied that they are
getting cheap advertisement by paying
rent for the limited amount Of room they
occupy We do not propose at present to
notice in detail the exhibitors and their
goods, lest we should give them little
more gratuitous advertising than they are
entitled to at the expense of our advertis-
ing columns.
The display of house furnishing goods by
one of our Camp street dealers is excellent,
and another dealer in the same section of
the building makes display nearly as good.
Carpetings make handsome show, from a
Camp street house, and the only furniture
on exhibition is also from the same street
Nelson, the florist, presents a great va
hety of plants and rare flowers.
The sewing machine representatives are
quite numerous, and SO are the displays OF
mems furnishing goods from several estab-
Iishmeuts.
The Chinese goods make a really elegant
show, added to which we may mention the
silk worms and cOcoons, showing how i'm
ported silk is made.
Wooden water buckets, made long dis
lance from here, some of cedar, and hand
somely hooped, are exhibited near by
brooms Of home manufacture.
Plantation wagons in the lower hall, Of
Louisiana construction, are intermingled
with pleasure carriages made elsewhere.
We might suggest that our own artisans,
manufacturers and producers do not evince

public hopes and expects.
We have one further invention that
ought to be represented in the exposition
building, and that is Belknap's fountain,
which is beautifully ornamented under a
patent
Stove dealers and plum bers seem to rival
each other in their displays Of manufac-
lures from abroad. We wish they might
introduce more stove and furnace castings
from our home foundries.

they can play from that balcony. Exposi-
ton open every day and evening. Admis-
sion twenty-five cents.
The fine arts gallery has now many rare
pictures hanging upon the walls. many Of
which have graced the parlors of our best
citizens. The numbers are still increasing,
and disposition is manifested to make
this ultimately one Of the finest art galleries
in the country.
Exposition Hall is not open on Sunday.

THE POET.
BIZ AUGUSTUS PrToU.

No lengthy arguments obscure his page,
These left the rhyming philOsOphic sage.
At birth from nature he receives the gift,
Wherewitl his soul above the world to lift.
He sees while mnsing in exstattc bliss
His ink-dipped pen the spotless paper kiss,
And in a wild delicious frenzy writes,
His thoughts on wing, in high poetic flights
Hew Inspirations glow lights up his face
IS faney's eye doth vivid pictures trace.
His heart in sympathy must then unfold
A mine of unalloyed poetic gold,
Whose hidden stores of wealth be seeks to teacl
That which the n. nd alone can never reach.
