which George cut down with his little hatchet.
There can be no doubt about this statement,
for there's tho cane to prove It. In rcvolv'
ing cabinet in this room Is q number of eX-
quisitc miniatures, among them one OF Mrs
ONeill, Mrs. General Elton'5 mother. II Is q
quiet, beautiful face, and attcsts that her
famous ~,ughter came legitimatcly by her
wonderful beauty.
Under lock and key are placed several
relics Of Maxmillian Of Mexico, lot Of gold
aud silver spoons gold watch and other
articles, which were donated TO the exhibition
by the lato Empress Carlotta. When the cN.
hibition Is over they will probably be pre-
scntcd by chat unfortunate princess to tue
most deserving Sunday school scholar In that
church. Mrs. Ross Browne lends beautiful
piocc of Chinese embroidery, which for beauty
aud briliancy Of color cannot be surpassed.
Tho most curious thing in the exhibition
however Is a sample Of japanese royal hang
ings, upon which is embroidered the chrysan.
themum, the japanese royal flower and
emblem of the mikado. This beautiful piece
of tapestry was specially donated by the EN-.
pcror HIMSELF with tho request that
tho managers of tho fair would not
tell how they got It. Tho managers
promised him and have kept their promise
but if the ml;ado thought he could long keep
tho news from u Washington reporter he was
very much mistaken. They are bound to
have the truth, even IL they manufacture It.
The exhibition will continue for several
weeks longer; and while IL Is really well
patronized, IL sh ould meet with even greater
encouragement, for it is very superior
exhibition, deserving all tho kind things said
Of it, aud much moro, aud It's object should
especially commond it 10 tho attention Of til o
