TO OUR PUBLIC.SPIRIrED CITIZENS.

The third annual fair of the Fruit Growers
Association of the Gulf States will take place
ON the 14th, 18th and 10th of July, and in
order to make it triumphant success and
truly reflect the enterprise and public spirit
of the citizens of New Orleans, it is proposed
that premiums to the amount of from $1,000
to $4,000 be given to stimulate exhibitors to
make such . display as will render the fair
the largest and most complete ever held in
the South.
The increase Of that great industry will not
only add greatly to the general welfare of the
South, but add vastly to the health of our
city, as a large supply Of good ripe fruit
brought to this city at reasonable rates is as
effective sanitary measure as any that can
be adopted.
With these facts in view and to place the
iberality of the citizens of New Orleans upon
an equal record with those of other cities, it
is hoped that our people will notonly respond
promptly, but literally, to this call. as it is
desired to complete the premium list by
Thursday. the 18th inst, SO that it may be
published at once.
Subscriptions will be received by the follow
ing gentlemen, who will call upon our citi-
gems to receive the same: Anthony Sambola,
Capt. j. ]. Mellon, VIM. Conrad, W. Nelson,
and J. II. Hummel, who compose the Exhib-
ition Committee.

Ice $4,000 Years Old.

From the News, Alma, Colorado
The altitude of the Stevens mine on Mount
Mcclellan is 49, feet. At the depth of
from GO to 200 feet the crevice matter, con-
sistipg of silica, calcite and ore, together with
the surrounding wall rock. is q solid frozen
mass. Mcclellan is one of the highest east
ern spurs of the snowy range it has the
form of horseshoe, with bold escarpment
of feldsphatic rock nearly 1000 feet high,
which in some places is nearly perpendicular
Nothing unusual occurred until distance of
some so or 80 feet had been made then the
frozen territory was reached, and it has con-
tinued for over 200 feet. There are no indi-
cations of o thaw, summer or winter. The
whole frozen territory is surrounded by hard,
massive rock, and the lode itself is as as hard
and massive as the rock.
The miners, being unable to excavate the
frozen material with pick or Grill, found that
the only way was to kindle large wood fire at
night against the back end of the tunnel, and
in the morning take out the disintegrated ORE
This has been the mode of mining for more
than two years. The tunnel is over 300 feet
deep, and there is no diminution of the frost.
There is, so far as can be seen, no opening or
channel through which the frost could possibly
have reached such depth from the surface.
There are other mines the same vicinity in a
like frozen state. The theory is that the rock
was laid down IN glacial times, when there
was cold enough to freeze the very earth's
heart In that case the mine is an ice house
whose stores have remained unthawed for at
least 81, 600 years The phenomenon is not
uncommon nor inexplicable when openings
can be found through which a current of air
can pass; but cases which, like the Brandon
frozen well and the Stevens mine, show no
way for air currents, are still referred to i'm
bedded icebergs and the glacial period.

ATLANTA, July 6, 1875.

ATLANTA, July 6, 1875.
My wanderings here and there have at last
brought me to tSts city. They claim to have
thirty thousand people, and rapidly on the
increase. The signs Of thrift and progress
are to be seen on all sides; new and elegant
buildings are going up as if there was no
stringency in money matters.
All the buildings cannot 60 up without
money, and if they are not false Indications
or based on borrowed capital, then Atlanta,
Ca, is in the van Of any town or city in the
South. New and costly churches are receiv-
ing their finishing touches, all indicating as
sured growth.
The Fourth was celebrated by the celebri
ties of the city and State. Alex Stephens
was the orator of the day. The committee of
arrangements made serious blunder that
detracted and marred the occasion.
They selected the passenger depot as the
place for the assembled thousands, and the
speakers were placed upon q narrow platform
car that stood on the track. Under the
rounded vault of the depot, every word and
fusion COMPOUNDED. We stood within thirty
feet of the orator, but not one sentence could
we hear. So far as the local arrangements
were concerned it was miserable failure.
The great and leading man of the State,
who will in the future occupy the public eye,
Hon. B. Hill, if l mistake rot, was not pre-
sent on the occasion. The telegraph and the
papers will make up for the blunder of the
COMMITTEE SO far as the outside world is con-
cerned. Capt. S. Dell introduced the orator,
who was SO feeble that he had to be lifted up
to the stand, with a marked emphasis and
we suppose deserved eulogy.
The health of this section is exceedingly
fine. crops large, and the people full Of con-
fdence.
The good crops every where have given
brighter hopes for the future. If the polit-
ical issue will only brighten in proportion,
then we may look for prosperous days.

The Ottoman Museum of Antiquities at
Constantinople has lately been enriched by
the acquisition of two life.size statues of Ro-
man workmanship, which were found the
other day in Crete and appropriated by the
Turkish Government, which has added them
to the collection in the Church of st. Irene,
at Stamboul. According to DR.. Dethier, the
director of the museum, these statues are
chilly interesting as monuments of the moral
and intellectual decadence into which the
mass of the Roman people had fallen in the
days of Nero. The statues are both female
figures. A tolerably legible inscription on
the pedestal Of one Of them labels the statue
as that of Claudia, the daughter of Nero BY
his second wife Poppea, who, though she
Lived to the age of only four months, was
raised by an imperial edict to the rank of a
deity, and was honored with affairs and tenn
pies. The sculptor has, however, represented
his subject as maiden seventeen or eighteen
years OF age. and has endowed her with a
liberal couture. The second statue is thought
by DIR. Dethier to be intended for Poppea, the
wife of Nero; but the inscription on the pc
destal no longer exists, having been erased
probably during the period of reaction against
The brutality OF Nero, which folio we'd that

Never Would Have Occurred to Him.

A Southern clergyman has lately published
some of his ''recollections, which include the
following anecdote of the war ~ once heard
. visionary criticise the slow movements of
the Confederacy in its conduct of the war
He broached plan Of his own, by which,
without possibility of failure. an army could
be marched right through the North, and
scrape up all the money in Philadelphia, New
York and Boston. and come back by sea,
bringing the spoils in safety to Wilmington.
He mentioned with an air of consum mate
triumph, that he had disclosed the plan to
Gen. Lee, and that the General was forced to
confess (and have no doubt be did it with
impurturbable gravity that such an idea
would never have occurred to him."
