While the principal civilized nations OF the
world will be fully represented in this grand Tx
hibition, it is interesting to learn that japan.
which has so recently emerged from her jealous
| seclusion, has demanded n large space tor the
display of her prOducts,-6ye times the extent
which was accorded to her at the Paris Exposition
of 1867. How will Hawaii nei be represented?
Responding to the published invitations OF DIR.
Hofmann the Consul for Austria, Messrs. H..
HackIeId & Co, as agents for several plantations.
have kindly procured samples Of the principal
articles Of produce Of the islands for this Exhibi-
ton Of the Worlds Industry, consisting of sugar,
pulu, rice, paddy, coffee. salt, etc. These Will
be forwarded by the Hawaiian bark Courier,
which sails soon, and by which vessel Messrs.
Hackfeld Il Go. offer TO take charge OF and snip
any articles that may be intended for the Exhibl-
ton, which will be delivered at Vienna free ct
cost. Photographers and other artists OF this
CITY have contributed views Of Hawaiian scenery,
volcanoes, public buildings, etc. The kindness
of some of our ladies las added fine articles OF
real Hawaiian manufacture, such as womens and
mems hats, mats, etc., and DIR. Hoffman, has
furnished other native handiwOrk, such as POI
dishes and other specimens of our Ornamental
woods fine kapas; dried ferns from Hawaii /;
patterns of canoes made from sandaLwood; a
copy of Andrews Hawaiian Dictionary native
newspapers; and bound volumes of the Pacific
COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER, for lSTO-72. a good
sample of guano from the islands of the Phoenix
Guano Company is also forwarded, which, though
not a product Of these islands, comes from a
source not very remote from us, and is Of nc
little Importance TO Hawaii, as the trade is the
means of the expenditure here of a considerable
amount for supplies and laborers. This sample
of guano will doubtless interest scientific OBJ
servers.
If all these partially enumerated articles shall
occupy ever so small a space in that Grand Fix
hibition Of the Worlds Industries, we hope tC
9 nc0r from yieuua a6 least that IIawaIl mel II
kindly noticed, and that the efforts of DIR. HoHf
mann are appreciated.
For ourselves, we take pleasure in announcing
that we shall be represented at the Universe
Exhibition by an able special correspondent, wh'
will from time to time give our readers an accoun
of this great worlds gathering.
