The Worries Fair.

The first meeting of the United States
Board of Trade Committee at New
York, composed of one hundred citizens
appointed to report on q site for the
proposed Worlds Fair in that city,
was held Monday. Letters favoring
the project were read from more than
seventy persons in difeAent parts of
the country, among them Governors of
States, mayors of cities and representa-
tives of manufacturing, mining and
agricultural interests. An informal
discussion showed that a majority
present favored a site along the water
front of Manhattan Island, with sufli-
Gent depth Of water to admit the um-
loading of vessels drawing fifteen feet
and more. 1t was urged that the site
should be easily accessible from the
main lines of travel. Another commit
tee of citizens which has been consider
ing the matter is reported to favor a
tract of 10 acres near Port Morris for
the site of the exhibition buildings.

CATION has not been without its effects

this will probably be attended to before
the Journey to Europe is undertaken,
THIS is the 81, 900, 900 cash, one-half of
which was to be applied to an asylum
for old and disabled employees on the

The Southern Fire Eater Still At 1t

Yankeedom is beginning to under
stand that our people are still unsub-
dued--that we are still in favor of Estates
Rights and the rule Of white men.-
That is why she threatens to fall back
on Grant, aud give him third term of
power. Well, we have this to say: if
Grant is elected and attempts to inau-
gurate the reign of damnation and de-
viltry that characterized his previous
administration, he will find himself
checkmatrd after the first move. The
South has recovered the right of home
rule, and she proposes to keep it hence
forth and forever-Grant or not Grant
and the sooner the hell beasts of Puri-
tania learn this little lesson by heart
the better it will be for their temporary
welfare. The South was helpless and
hopeless at the close of our magnificent
struggle for liberty, and the heaven
ordained system of human labor, but
the hour of our prostration is past, and
Grant, with all his mudsill millions,
has no terrors for us. Let him try his
old role of Dictator again, and see how
it will work. He will find his man
dates powerless as those of King Canute,
who tried to command the motions of
the multitudinous waves.--Okglona
