Atlanta, Ga, beginning October and to
continue throughout the remainder Of the
year, closing December 81, have recently is.
sued circular Of which the following is the
substance: This exhibition was named the
International Cotton Exposition" because
nothing more was contemplated than a fair
for illustrating every detail Of the cotton in
dustry. Soon after the company organized
the managers decided to admit other text
lies, and later, yielding to an almost uni-
versal demand, they concluded to open their
doors to all industries. Hence the EXPOSE
ton is no longer confined to that one staple,
nor to the several textile interests, but it
comprises every industry in which civilized
men engage. The classification employed 1t
the Centennial will be closely followed in
the six departments Of the Exposition. The
railroad companies have adopted excursion
rates lower than ever before offered-round-
trip tickets from Chicago or st. Louis only
fifteen dollars, from Cincinnati or Louis
vile, nine dollars, and equally low rates by
other lines. 1t is expected that no less than
100000 people from the South, 100000 from
the North, and very large number from
Canada, Great Britain and the European
Continent will visit this Exposition, and ex-
tensive arrangements are being entered into
to furnish sufficient additional accommoda.
tions to comfortably entertain so large .
multitude in the city of Atlanta. The entry
fee of twenty five dollars is the only charge

From any point of view the hoary
little town is vastly interesting; the re-
moteness and obscurity of its origin,
the sieges. pestiences and massacres it
has undergone and the tenacity with
which it olings to primitive customs
and beliefs are 50 many charms. To
walk its streets is to breathe the air of
Scriptural times. There to-day fisher
men costumed like Peter are dragging
their nets on the sandy single outside
the gates; at the fountain stands Re-

Tangier.

It is very ancient city, the oldest
city but one in the world. The M0ors
of Spain, in the time of Aboo-Abdallah,
made pilgrimages to it on account of its
antiquity. The cloth merchants, and
the sWarthy money-changers, and the
shrill water-carriers, were plying their
trade. and all the indolent, feverish life
we witness to-day was seething, in these
narrow streets, when Christ was little
child in Nazareth.
Founded in some unknown period, by
the Carthaginians, it is supposed, Tan
gier-the Tingis of the Romans-has
always been q bone of bloody conten-
ton among the Nations. In the reign
of Claudius it became the capital of the
province Mauritania Tingitana, and was
an important city. Wrested from the
Romans, it passed successfully under
the rule of the Vandals, Greeks, Sara
Gems and. Arabs. In 1471 Tangier fell
into the possession of the Portuguese,
who, in 1862, ceded it to England as q
portion of the dover Of the Infanta
Catherine of Braganza, Queen of Charles
II. The English, finding that the occu-
patton was not worth the cost, abandon
Cd the place in 1854, after demolishing
the mole. Here quaint and incongru-
Gus figure appears for an instant on the
scene--the figure of Mr.. Samuel Pepys.

NOR ON the part of Charles III. to send
