HOPEFUL SIGNS FOR THE INDUS
TRIAL EXPOSITION.

Mr.. John W. Foster, the United States
Minister to Mexico, has addressed COM
munication to the Superintendent of the pro-
posed Agricultural and Industrial Exposition.
which is to take place in our city during next
March, in reply to letter written to him on
the subject He evinces great interest in the
enterprise and readily promises to use bis
utmost endeavors to induce the Mexican Gov
eminent to send representation of Mexican
products and manufactures. His letter is
very hopeful, and will endevcr to secure the
cooperation of our Consuls in the different
ports of Mexico. This looks very favorable,
and We sincerely trust that Mr.. Foster will be
able to persuade the Mexican people Of the
advantage Of their being represented in the
Exposition.

1t was our pleasure a short time since to be
present at the first meeting Of an organization in
the Garden Dist let having for its object more
familiar intercourse with the world of letters.
The mutual benefits to be derived are apparent,
from the fact that these clubs have met with
popular favor, and during the past year several,
composed of both sexes, have been formed with
a like intent. The move certainly is commenda-
BILE, and marks a new feature in society.
The nature Of tbs programme on the evening
which We particularize embraced Rotations,
vocal and instrumental music and readings from
Shakespeare's love story of Romeo and Juliet"
1t has been prearranged that the lady and gen.
tleman who undertook to deliniate the poets
lines should not only memorize, but enact their
characters.
Having witnessed the production Of "Romeo
and Juliet by many recognized artists, it was
not without some curiosity that we awaited its
rendition at the hands Of amateurs.
OF the gentleman (Romeo) we. need only
say that he did his best and succeeded tolerably.
He read with feeling, but lacked appreciation OF
his character 1t was evident that his inspiration
was derived less from the authors ideal than
from the loneliness of the lady before him.
Our qualification and surprise at the rendition
of Juliet was genuine. In looking for but little
we were welcomed by display Of talent, which,
though crude, bespoke cultivated mind, and
keen PERCEPTION Of the authors heroine.
With q voice of musical sweetness the love
passages were uttered in all the sincerity of a
woman's heart, while her gestures were charac-
teristic of the emotion which filled her SOUL be-
ing marked by earnestness and grsce. If we
failed to appreciate the efforts Of her Romeo we
may we'll claim leniency. Faults there were and
grave ones; but if the fair debMante cultiyates
her talent the faults will correct themselves, and
her powers of delineation, which, il lost to the
dramatic world, will certainly prove source of
pleasure and pride to her host Of friends.

THE LEVEE FREIGHT RAILROAD.

We are not altogether sanguine as to bene
fits to result from the proposed railroad along
the river front. 1t will, if made, be useful tc
some interests, but it may prove detrimental
to others. 1t may facilitate the handling Of
cotton and its transfer from river steamers to
the presses and thence to ocean going vessels.
1t will amount to monopoly of all trans
portation of cotton from point to point along
the river, from the lowest press or wharf to
the highest.
Believing, as we do, in every enterprise
that cheapens the transfer of produce and in
creases inducements to buy and sell in New
Orleans, we must confess to an unwillingness
to interfere with the business of the draymen
who have, for SO many years, in storm and
sunshine. in heat and cold, through mud or
dust, been ready and cheerful in moving gen.
eral produce, cotton and merchandise. The
rude and busy vehicles have caused US inf
mite annoyance by their "rattling DER the
stony street" but if they were to disappear
we should note their absence with regret.
The fee Of drayage on produce and merchans
disc is the last of which we should complain,
since the competition puts it down to the
lowest figure, and every drayman is citizen
and customer.
Putting ourselves in their place we should
very strenuously object to the railroad which
must force very many of them out of employ
ment; and putting ourselves in the place of
the numerous dealers in Western produce who
send their wares from the levee into all parts
Of the city, but chiefly away from the line of
the proposed road, we should object to the
change still more. We dislike everything
that takes from the general public any right
or privilege in or upon the river front for the
benefit Of any corporation or body of men
whatever.
We appreciate all that has been said in
favor of the proposed levee freight road, but
it is a matter that involves so many and such
large interests that the sense of the commu-
nifty should be very fully ascertained before
the Council moved in the matter. As gen.
oral proposition we favor the cheapening of
but if in order to reduce
charges upon cotton it becomes necessary to
interfere with the business of our Western
produce and other merchants, then it becomes
very questionable whether we do not pay too
lear for our whistle.

the report Of the Administrator Of Improve

ingly interesting and lucid document, and
will we'll repay the perusal of everybody
interested in the city. as it is statement in
detail of the working of the most important
department of the city government An
analysis Of the average monthly expenditures
of the department under Major Burke and
previous Administrators shows marked and
really wonderful economy. From 1853 to
1854 the average monthly expenditure was in
round figures $4,000; from 1856 to 1862
$4,000; from 1870 to 1874 inclusive, s1l2,-
600; while in 1875, or under the present
regime, it is only ssi, 900, difference which
tho taxpayers will not be slow to appreciate.
The report should be read carefully, and no
doubt will be.

The dollar mark is a combination of the
letters and s, the Spanish fuertes or hard,
to distinguish them from paper money. Even
among ourselves we frequently hear the term
''hard dollars, SO that it is monogram COM
posed Of the first and last letters of the word
Occasionally the calculator abbreviated it
thus : fs; but that interfering with the signs
for francs and Aorins, he curled the around
the I, which preserves the distinction.
So says Scribner's Monthly. We have it on
other authority that the dollar marks is the
initial Of the word Scutun, the lines drawn
across it signifying that it is an abbreviation,
just as the sign fb for pounds in weight is an
abbrevistion of libra. a.
