THE COTTON EXPOSITION.

The grand International Cotton EXPOSE
ton at Atlanta, Ca, will be opened Octo-
Der 18th and close December 3lst. This is
the only Worlds Fair to be held in 1881.
The success of the Exposition is now as.
sured beyond doubt. There will be very
large attendance from all parts of the coun-
centers of the North are taking deep in
terest in it, and will make a grand display
OF machinery of various kinds, especially
such as the South is interested in. Already
large space has been engaged by exhibit
ors, and applications are coming In con-
stantly. 1t will doubtless be the most
successful enterprise of the kind ever at
tempted in the Southern States, and can
but result benefcially to that section.
The space originally thought sufi-
Gent by the Executive Commit
tee of the international Cotton Expo
sition is more than taken already,
and new applications are being received
daily. The committee has decided to
provide room for all desirable exhibits by
erecting additional buildings. Among
the many recent entries the following are

will make an elaborate display of food
products. The collection of native wood
and ores by the Southern railroads will
be the largest ever made. The Willimantic
Linen Company has made arrangements to
bring from 80 to 100 girls from its factories
to Atlanta, where they will remain during
the exposition. The whole process of
making spool thread will be gone through
with. The company has appropriated
$50, 600 for the expenses of the display.

The wonder is, not that his army was
captured at Appomattox. but that it was
not captured long before it reached that
point. To successfully conduct beaten
army, after the stunning defeats st Peters
burg and Five Forks, almost as he was
surrounded by overwhelming numbers, for
eight days, without food and with little
ammunition, is feat almost without par
allel in military annals. And when he at
last resolved to cease the struggle, it was
not with a corporals guard around him,
but with gallant army of 1900 men.
If he saw fit to forget his own glory and
to consult only the interests OF our COM
mon country, let us endeavor to appre-
ciate his magnanimity and give him that
praise which poster;ty will certainly ac-
cord him.

of his army on this retreat, unless we con-

This was to Mahone's men while hating

their hunger as they marched not irregu-

A year ago Humboldt Lake, which gem
orally extends over several square miles,
was SO dry that horsemen could ride over
its bottom without getting their horses
hoofs muddy. TheA it was demonstrated
beyond all question that the lake had no
subterranean outlet, and that it was dried
up by evaporation. Now the lake has
spread out to its old size and is larger than
at any previous time in six years. Its
waves beat against the railroad embank-
ment at Browns station, and its waters
extend across the valley to the hills on the
eastern side. Boats can once more sail
from Browns to the slough in deep water,
where year ago the ground was as dry as
the surrounding desert. Il Silver State.

Summer Hotels.

II IL 3 significant fact that each suc-
cseding season shows that the large
summer hotels that score brilliant or
even mediocre success are growing
smaller and more widely scattered. 4
mere superficial analysis will indicate
at opce to the mind trained to business
principles that tho disease Is Ii fatal

may be extended beyond our present
anticipation when it will become nee
essary for US to chronicle the tact that
well meant efforts at Capitalization have
eliminated III huge monuments to folly
in the shape Of large summer hotels
without guests. 1t is folly born OF the
grossest misconception of the character
and habits of the American people to
assume that the majority of the sum-
mer travel is to Ec detected 10 spots
where health, recuperation, quiet, rest
and enjoyment are misDOmers and
where in reality fashions foibles and
excesses are the ruling attraction. The
fact Is, that the American people Us a
class are possessed of sound sense, i'm
bued with business principles and not
Inclined to pay from SO to 5 day for
any great length of time for such
questionable enjoyment. The result is
that the guest at large fashionable
summer hotel is only transient, re-
n.aining scarcely q week more fequent-
ly but day. The paving season for
these houses is thus reduced to mini
mum of from four to six weeks at the
height OF the seasoD, the profits OF

of the commencement and end of the

same whether the hOlse be crowded to

ers and lessefs Of these white elephants

The Empress Of Germany.

vi all the crowned women in Europe
she is the oEe who hOnors most proud
position. Queen Margaret of Italy is
arl!ahle and without angles. She has
no faults and many sweet qualities.
Bot her virtues ere tho SO of a sweet
nstured animal brought up among
human beings and made to fondle and
be fondled. When the gods love a
woman of the Queen Margaret type
they call her to themselves before mid
die age creeps upon her. She does not
bear we'll thu rude test of time. EN-
press Augusta on the contrary does.
In her youth she resembled thought
ful heroine of Dickens, and has become
more admirable as years roll on. Her
life has not been blissful one. What
ever happiuess she has enjoyed she
owes to the elevation of her sentiments
and the sympathy in which she has been
with her two children and a very small
number of friends. OF the latter, the
one most closely associated with her
moral life was her librarian and reader,
a Frenchman, who had been recon-.
mended to her by Guizot, and for whom
she long wore mourning after his death.
Although lie was man Of humble
birth and she the daughter of O grand
duke and wife of first-c class potentate,
they stood relatively to each other on
the footing Of kindred spirits and at
tempted to help each other to live ND to
a common philosophy, which embraced
poetry, pietv aid French ra:ionalism,
weeded of Voltarian skepticism. There
are spots at Stolzsnfels, the private
property OF the Empress on the Rhine.
which are .cred to the memory of her
deceased friend and librarian, and there
are hours In the day when her majesty
reflects on words OF wisdom which fell
from Lis lips and which she has stored
ap in diaries.
The Z cpress Augusta is a woman of
high mental cultnre. Her style in
writing, and particularly in writing
French, has the qualities of elegance,
terseness and elevation. 1t is very
natural and beautifully lucid. But it
is not graphic style. Her majesty
does not paint SO we'll what she sees as
she does her thoughts and feelings.
Empress Augusta WAS born and brought
up at Weimar when it was holy place
to German li;erati. The grand ducsl
family to which she belonged protected, ,
as all the world knows. great authors
and imbibed their ideas. They we're
not reformers, but their sympathies
were large and they did not stand in
the way of any reform which the emil
nent men they gathered round them
favored. Thackeray WAS at Weimar
when the Princess Augusta was leaving
it to be married to Prince William of
Prussia. She was at that time slender
girl, with face in which there was
much to interest and attract. Her taste
for gaudy and ill-assorted colors in her
toilet would have depoetized any less
diSttnguee princess. Her distinction,
which was iaborn, triumphed over the
crude tints CT her garments. She was
one of those Teutons so rare among the
gentler sex, though by no means un-
common among the rougher, of whom
Madame de Stael wrote: "Ils ont la
nostalgia du ciel." Princess (now
Empress) Augusta naturally gravitated
toward the ideal.

Social Etiquette.

Mr.. Emerson intimates in one of his
essays that the most conspicuous fact
in modern history is the creation of the
gentleman. Chivalry is that" he
says, and loyalty is that, and in Eng
lish literature half the drama and all
the novels. from Sir Phillip to Sir
Walter Scvtt, paint this figure. The
word gentleman, which, like the word
Christian, must hereafter characterize
the present aud the few preceding
centuries, by the importance attached
to it, is homage to personal and in
communicable properties" Oae char.
acteristic of the gentlemen is manners,
rare gift and difficult to define.
Besides natural manner, the result
of individual nature and taste, there
is q conventional manner thst consists
in obeying those rules which good So
cicty has endorsed as most conducive
to agreeable intercourse. They form
the code OF etiquette which Lord
Chesterfield says that good breeding
always conforms to. Some of these
rules are given by a writer on etiquette
as follows:
Gentility is neither in title, manner
nor fashion, bnt in the mind. A high
sense of honor-s determination never
to take mean advantage of another
an adherence to truth-delicacy and
politeness toward those with whom you
may have dealings-are the essential
and distinguishing characteristics of a
gentleman.
A man may not become "great" by
attention to all maxims upon manners,
but he will become popular" which
| is better.
There is no policy like politeness;
and a good manner is the best thing in
the world. either to get one o good
name or supply the want of it.
He who advised us to do at Rome as
the Romans did, was true gentleman.
Nothing, it is said, indicates we'll
bred man more than q proper mode OF
eating his dinner. A man may pass
muster by dressing well, and may sus-
tain himself tolerably in conversation
but if he be not proserly az tait, dinner
will betrsy him.

Do not cover yourself with trinkets

Let your linen be as spotless as your
morals. There is something wrong al
bottom in the man who does not object
to wear dirty shirt.

Kit Karson's Grave.

Carson, and the house of the famous
scout stands uear the Plaza. Kit was
once on his way home. and within q
short distance of Taos. He had not
seen his family, which he loved fondly,
for three years. But lie was overtaken
with request from the government to
bear some very important dispatches to
the Pacific Coast. So he turned about
and started at once. 1t was four years
more before he returned to his family.
We walked ont to the little cemetery,
standing most desolste spot amid the
prosperous grain fields. Kit had re-
quested to be buried beside his wife,
and there were the graves of the two in
q lot inclosed with wooden picket
fence. painted white and the pickets
tipped with black. The grave mounds
are two low, scrawny gravel heaps.
There are no COMMISSIONERS, no inscrip-
tiOns, nothing 10 tell who lies below,
and it is not known which gave is
filled by Kit Carson, or which by his
wife. The famous frontiersman was a
reckless gambler; he squandered away
all his money and died penniless, but

his grave should be properly marked
