Notes from the Atlanta Exposition.

Chicago Journal.
The Exposition is about two miles from
Atlanta, in park called Oglethrope after
the first Governor of Georgia. Here used
to be the race-track of Atlanta. Now
nineteen acres of it are covered with build
ings. which cost 100000, and contain
about 1000 different exhibits from all parts
of the United States. There is main
building and several annexes after the plan
of the Centennial. OF course the buildings
are not as vast or as elegant as those of the
Centennial, the number of exhibits is not
as large, for instance there is no art gallery
and no horticultural show, but the quality
of the goods is just as fine, and in the
speciality of

The Lobby at Washington.
From the New York Times.


We are continually hearing of the lobby
at Washington, and most persons unac-
quainted with it and the peculiar features
of that city imagine the lobby to be num-
Der of shrewd, clever, unprincipled men.
who, if they had any moral principle, would
be capable of better things. Everybody
who has been brought in contact with them
knows that. But they are, as q rule, far
from clever. He who sees the fellows Or
dinarlly included in the lobby is aware that
they are shabby and sorry lot. They
are, for the most part, made up of inferior,
broken down politicians, bar room loung-
ers, vulgar sponges, miscellaneous wind
bags, humbugs, and hangers ON, who
would not, it might be supposed, have any
influence whatever with any man of sense
or chara aster. How such creatures can help
any bill, or hinder any measure, would be
incredible if the fact were not indisputable.
They contrive by sneer, push and impu-
dence to impress a certain number of men,
bers of congress, and to delude them with
the notion that they are of importance.
One of their invariable assumptions is that
they have great influence with the leading
newspapers, members of the cabinet, prom
inent senators and citizens all over the
United States. They are forever Dragging
and lying of what they have done, can do,
and will do; and by the mere fierce of iter-
alton induce not few inexperienced per-
sons to believe them. She impudence of
some of the lobbyists is amazing. They 60
from hotel to hotel, from bar-room to bar
room, staggering and boasting with all
thier might and laboring to persuade those
that they really carry weight And the wen-
der is that they succeed with certain class.
Lobbyists who have not position enough
or credit ENOUGH to get a hat or coat on trust
will tell you what they are doing for some
able and dignifed senator; that they are
looking after his interests; that they
are directing his mind, and so forth. Sum-
ner. Chase, Stanton, even Lincoln himself,
used to be remotely patronized by such
fellows. To-day they are strutting up and
down Pennsylvania avenue, telling of the
good counsel they have given Garfield; the
blunder Blaine would have made but for
them; how they helped Evarts out of
quandary; Of the valuable points that they
furnished to Alexander H. Stephens, etc.
In all probability the boasters have no ac-
quaintance with the men they pirate of, and
would not be recognized should they speak
to them. Despite their shallowness, ignor-
ance, and Total lack of character, they man
age to live by lobbying, when it would be
thought that they must starve to death.
None of them are likely to get any money
ahead-vaeabonds and swindlers seldom
debut they keep up their wretched shams
year after year. and impose on many more
people than any wise man would think pos
sible. The rank and file of the Washing
ton lobby is composed OF erretrfeyable
dead-beats.

From the Boston Herald.

w. H. Buckingham, % years of age, re-
siding in Newton, and in the employ of F.
A. Brown in Watertown, has been missing
since last Sunday. He is the son of the

ents had been kept in ignorance of his in
tentions. Saturday night he left his en-
ployer's store, receiving So. the balance due
him, which with the money he is known to
have had, made total of $50. Sunday
morning he told his mother that he was GO

ances was on horse car headed for Bos-
ton. Early in the week Mr.. Brown received

asking for information in regard to his
strange absence.

VILLAGE improvement associations are
springing up in all the eastern states, and
some have been organized at the west,
principally devoted to arboriculture and
kindred work, the cultivation of public
spirit and town pride, the quickening of
the intellectual life of the people, securing
hygenic conditions, improving roads and
side walks and public grounds. Utility,
taste and poetry touch and blend at many
points in the admirable work of these vii
lage improvement associations, but the
paramount work at the west is tree planting.
"There is something nobly sweet and pure,
said Washington Irving, ''in taste for
trees. II argues sweet and generous ma
ture." II was the simple beauty he had
created at Marshfeld- grassy lawns,
the shaded approaches, the hundreds of
trees of his planting bound Daniel
Webster SO strongly to that sequestered
spot.

THE report of the committee on statistics
made at the annual meeting of the National
Board of Underwriters, held in New York
last week showed that 293 companies re-
ceived $61, ,934,3O5 in fire and $8,043, 056 in
marine and inland premiums in 1880, an in
crease over the previous year of $40, ,931,-
430. Losses in the same year, $33, ,578, ,698
through fire. The inland and marine loss
es amounted to $57, ,344, ,047, an increase
over the year preceding of 1850, 1884,
The expenses were S24, ,203, ,211, and the
profits of the business $7,501 ,423, out Of
which 81, ,94O,327 were earned by foreign
companies. Special efforts were made last
year to punish incendiaries, and it appears
that convictions numbered fourteen, and
eight rewards were paid aggregating $18.-
600. New rules and rates were adopted for
manufactures and other establishments
running by night.

GEN. BENJAMIN F. BUTLER has been the
subject of many rough charges in the news
papers, and at last deigned to answer some
of the most damaging. He has written a
clergyman in Trenton, N. j., a eircumstan-
tial account of the manner in which Gen.
Twiggs' swords and certain silver plate
came into his possession when he was
commanding at New Orleans, and has
explained the disposition made of
them. The swords were first depos-
tied in the United States treasury, and
were afterwards restored to Gen. Twiggs'
daughter. The silver was turned over to
Gen. Buffers successor at New Orleans,
and he has inventories and receipts forall of
it. In all suits against him the plaintiffs
have been non-suited, and he claims that
the sea of calumny dashed against him was
without lust cause.

TIE prohibition legislation of last winter

The prohibition legislation of last winter
in various states, developed some remark
able peculiarities. North Carolina, for in
stance, has bill passed by the last legis-
lature, so worded that if the people vote, by
majority, against prohibition, they only
vote against the enforcement of the penal
ties prescribed by the law, and not against
the prohibition of liquor licenses. Next
August the vote will be taken for or against
the prohibitory liquor law, and if large
majority of North Carolinians vote against
the bill, they only vote against the prose-
cution of persons who violate the law, the
law standing intact. In other words, the
majesty of the law, pure and simple, is re-
lied upon as a moral agent, without penal
ties for its violation

DURING the first four months of the cur
rent year 20, ,9S3, 1899 bushels of grain were
shipped from New York in foreign vessels
and not one bushel on an american vessel
for foreign port. Of these foreign ves-
sells carrying grain 1868 were steamers and
2l2 sailing vessels. Our navigation laws,
prohibiting the purchase of foreign vessels,
have given foreigners full possession of the
field. The germans are wiser in this re-
spect. They buy or build their vessels on
the Clyde, where they can be obtained
cheaper than at home, and run them with
profitable results.
