as one of the reasons for not abolishing
Christianity and the establishment in
England, the fact that it provided a class
of men (the clergy whom everybody
could feel at liberty to insult with entire
impunity, knowing that their professional
character precluded them from resorting
to the violent measures that a layman
would employ. And so the editor affords

a VISIT FROM SANTA CLAUS.

\ jolly old fellow. whose hair is snow-white
And whose little bright eyes are blue,
viii be making his visits on Christmas
night:
Perhaps he will call upon you,
A funny old name has this funny old man,
you can tell y hat it is, no doubt;)
He creeps down the chimney rs fast as he
can,
And then Just as swiftly creeps out
His plump cheeks are rosy as red cherries
ripe;
His nose. too, is red as can be;
You may smell now and then the smoke of
his pipe
But his face you never may see.
He carries bag full of sweetmeats and
toys,
And leaves them wherever he goes
For the good little girls and good little
boys
So hang up your little white hose!

love of being loved, fondness Of fattery,
the pleasure Of giving pain to a rival,

frequently mistaken for something far

LABOR.

Two thirds of the working classes in
the pine district, including the sea-
coast, are whites-natives and naturali-
zed citizens. Those from the Eastern
States, and from Canada, Sweden, Den
mark, England and Ireland bear exposure
to the sun, and stand the climate, in
every respect, as well as the indigenous
population, or the immigrants from
Southern Europe. The Germans are
quite numerous, an1 are our most thrifty
farmers and gardeners. The French
immigrants are chiefly merchants. coffee
house keepers, or mechanics. The Span
ish and Italians engage in fishing, oys-

suing this business, become Independent.
Hard wood is worth on the bank, 81 %

81 80. Our salt water bayous are nu-
merous, running back generally 10 TO 10
miles, affording plenty of water, and fur
nishing almost every neighborhood with
shipping privileges.
MILL LOGS.
The steam saw and planning mills on
this coast are numerous and on costly and
extensive scale They pay cash for all

generally remunerative, but, of course,
varying with the dimensions of the tim

FISH AND OYSTERS.
This business employs many persons,
but might be greatly extended. A
chain of islands, you perceive from the
map, extends from the mouth of the
Mississippi to Mobile, lying fifteen or
twenty miles from the main land. These,
with the mud banks along shore, and the
bars at the mouths of our rivers and
creeks, constitute the fishing grounds.

are taken to the New Orlea Il market,
AMI to the various villages along the sea
board. Oysters of superior quality are
found within a few miles of the whole
coast. Many of these are sent BY mail
to the interior, but the business Of can

introduced. 1t offers an inviting field

PROGRESS At THE CENTENNIAL
GROUNDS.


A Philadelphia correspondent Of the New York
Times says;
As the days glide by and the time for the OPEN
ing comes nearer and nearer, the pace of events
becomes quicker also. In whatever direction
turn see visible signs of progress. The police
force is now being organized, Col. STAIRS plan
having received the assent of Gen. Goshorn. The
great avenues Of the Exhibition Enclosure are be-
ing paved with asphalt. The parterres are being
covered with mold, and the gardeners are planting
bulbs here and there. and shrubs and evergreens
are dotting the hitherto waste spaces. The paint
ing in the interior of the Horticultural Hall is so
far developed that in another week it will be
turned over to the Superintendent of the depart
ment who will begin to stock the Farmhouse
with the tropical plants that have been hitherto
nursed in the forcing houses under the Of Mr..
Thomas Mingley, formerly of the conservatories
at Kew, England. The carriage annex is now
more than skeleton, for the great sheets Of cor
rugatedSiron are being placed along the sides.
The art annex, which was commenced so late, IS
now upon the eve of completion. The brick walls
are being plastered with compo. kind Of stucco,
which gives a stony surface to brick. All the
rooms are in fact, separate structures, and each
one is lighted by q separate sky-light Of square
form, with slightly soping sides. The appear
ance of the building, with these skylights, is ire
sistibly droll for they have strong resemblance
to sugar-bowls and mustard-pots. Inside, the
rooms are to be sheathed with asbestos, and over
that will be the wooden battening to protect the
other exhibitions this battening has been left to
the exhibitors, but America generously takes
care of this herself. The report is that unusual
harmony is prevailing among those cantankerous
gentlemen the artists, and THAT there will be .
q very fine display of American paintings.
