THE proposed cotton exposition in New
Orleans in 1854 gives large promise of sue
cess. The amount proposed to be raised as n
fund for the exposition is $55OOOO. OF this
amount $4,000 has been already subscribed
in the north, and New Orleans has subscribed
$4,000, and proposes to raise the remaining
sum of 100000. Major Burke, of the Times
Democrat, has been chosen director general,
and has gone vigorously to work. 1t is pro:
posed to have complete exhibits of the Latin
American nations. The president of Hon
duras, who has been on visit to this coun-
try, has tendered to the exposition the use of
his valuable archaeological specimens while
other residents of Central and South Amer
lean States have expressed great interest, and
promised needful aid. 1t bids fair to be
quite a success.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

"Rennin' 'scences of tha Life and Labor of A. D. GiIlatte D. D." by his friends and associates Hon. Horatio Gates Jones, L. IL. D., Thomas Arrnttage D. D., George V. Samson, D. D, R. s. Macarthur, D. D., Kew York. Ward and Dzumnaond, Publishers.
 This volume is a unique tribute to the memory of man who was widely known and beloved Prof. ". c. Wilkinson con- cludes the volume by ''laying flower on the coffin of his friend.'' The material is largely aatobiographical, although the contributions of the editors are gleaned from facts within their own knowledge. It is the story of useful and successful life, of character de yeloped by early struggles and lifelong in tegrity. It is never Weerisome, is is always stimulating. The facts concerning his youth and early manhood, his early religious life, his ordination to the Christian ministry and the first year of his ministerial service are taken, mainly, from his diary. Mfr. Jones writes of his life and labor in Philadelphia, first as pastor of the Fifth and then Of the Eleventh Baptist churches, covering period of over fourteen years. Dr. Armitage writes of his work in New York city as pastor of the Broadway, afterwards the Calvary church. Dr. Gillette's subsequent pastorats in Wash ington, during the troublous days of Civil War, is described by his friend, Dr. Samson, and Dr. MacArthur, his successor in New York, tells the story of hts labors and suc- cesses iu connsctiolI with the Calvary church, now one of the largest and most efficient churches in the land. There are some incl dents in the story of this life which are more than interesting. Ths destruction of his childhood home by fire and his own narrow escape from death, his adventure with Lafayette when that illus trious Frenchman was visiting this country, his ministrations to Payne, who was hanged for his attempt upon ths life of Secretary Seward, are some of them. His last public address was made in debate at the May meet the American and Foreign Bible society, with which he had been connected, personally and officially, for more than forty years. On the morning of the next day he was unable to rise without assistance, and, on reaching the verandah of the hotel, he was quite helpless. To the anxious inquiries of friends hs ex- claimed, through his tears, My hand has loss it's cunning" The beginning of the end had come and in little more than two years he entered into rest. While Dr. Gillette WAS yet, comparatively, young man strenuous CT forts were made by the First Baptist church of this city to secure him as its paator. For this. among other reasons, this memorial will be of local interest. For sale by B. P. Judd, 24O Chapel street.

 "imported" garment attracted moro thss slight attention.
 The very fact that these women are absF to do such things proves their credit tc be excellent for of course otherwise tho goodg would not be sent to them. Some of them are very wealthy and, one would imagine, had no excuse for such actions. A good many of these people who think nothing of such txiriss would shrink from any act of open dishonesty, but that even this is not always the case is proved by the prevailing fashion of having detectives not only to guard wedding pras- ents, but to keep the guests from picAing ID pieces of rare and curious bric-a-brac which may adorn the parlors.
 An old lady was heard to say the ether day that on her return from each of her numey- ous European tours she had brought home enough little ornaments to fill ell the ta'ri~ and stands of her drawing-reom, but Sso1s,s ally they disappeared. The pieces taA en showed that the thief had been some EsrS0a of educated taste.

The ''eIairns of loealisy'' h&ys trH.ava ap again in sae contest ovsr the aseist s@s e1arE ship of the House. It would bs iu iuterestipg to know exactly what tbs c.aials If locality .zs in reference to Ekis eler rssiAin. 5taa fri4ndE of the candidate il 3IiddlsssG county, zor instance, propose to urge in his haaalf taGt fl has zen long time slEtaa that county has f,.rnis1ad clerk te the House of RenEs- ae4fativss # woald nz Interesting to know ho~ that fact, If it-oa ss fact, constitutes s 1sasoA for ohoesiag 2ho esudidate fgena Afide zilssex= +eonr1y -ia,a2zy az2~s county, or any known political division oF the State, entitled to name the aaaiEtant clerk? The cleEk ls supposed to keep shs jsGEnai of 5hs House and to have custody Of shs bills which are pending before t. Ia properly performing these duties it is little difficult to see hoa he can represent Ehs ia- tersst of any particular section Of the State. It Is not quite easy to understand how Mid 6issex county has saFsrsd jG nSt having Ts- eanSty furnished . c1srk to ths Houss, or how She is likely to suffer if she never does. It would seem as though the candidate who is the best fstei for the office oRght to be
 
 duce that man every time there ia no reason why she should not furnish the clerk as long as the legislature continues to asssrn. ble. Of course under this plan thu clerkship would not go round quite as fast as it does now among the vtung and ambitious party workers. and that we suspect. is about all the claims of locstity amount to. They are a part of the same old idea that offices do not exist for the purpose of doing the public work, but principally as means of paying politicians for doing party work.
 Among the muititudes of false pretsncss under which offices are obtained in this pol itics-rIdden country, none are more absurd and shallow than the claims of locality, and yet none are more frequently resorted to, or more vociferonsly urged. Even judges, and that, too, in these days of Civil Service Re form, are appointed with special regard to these claims 4 jadge is supposed to decide causes according to the law and the evidence, and if he does that fairly and justly, ho~ can he possibly represent any locality? And why in appointing the judges should the question be considered at all as to how the different sections will be represented? Why should not the sole question be fitness?
 Is it not about time to drop this nonsense about the claims Of locality to ofacss that are not at all representative in their character especially As these claims really do not exist in fact? It is entirely safe to say that the people ia MiddIess1 county, or in any other county, if we except the friends of the candi- dates. do not care fig who is assistant clerk sf the House, where he comes from; OF what county judge of the Superior court comes from, provided he Is upright and able? The claims of locality are simply the claims of local politicians, matter in which the people have DO great interest. We suggest to the House that is caooss for It's assistant clerk the best man 1t can get, no matter where hs comes from.

The fraudulent pension business in Wash ingson has not received severe shock in the action of Secretary Teller, who. after long delay in considering ore case, has decided not to disbar the accused firm, although Com missioner Dudley made strong recommen- dation for disbarnent. Last October the
 Commissioner of Pensions recommended the suspension of the firm for presenting false and fraudulent pension claims, knowing them to be spHhs-- The cases selected by the Commissioner to make his charges good were, first. the filing of the claim of both a father and mother for the same pension with in 2 few days of each other, although the declaration blank stated that neither of them are dead ;' snd second, the use of circulars containing facts, statements and fraudulent pretensions to the effect that pen sioners dropped from the rolls could be re- stored, that service pensions could be se- cured for soldiers in the Mexican war, and that certain rights were guaranteed widows and children. In reply to the first charge the firm made the absurd defence that it mis- took the statement, ''Neither of thena are dead, for "Mother of them are dead, and so filed the claim of the father, not knowing the mothers claim had been filed already. This the Commissioner of Pensions consid- cred as unreasonable, and took occasion to his opinion of the excuse offered by the further statement to the Secretary that he believed it .o be untrue. 4 most important feature of these fraudulent pen sion claims consulted in the fact that the son and soldier was borne on the rolls as 8 de- serter. As to ths circulars, the Interior de- partment, by older of the Secretary, dis barred the firm of Wills $ Go. for using one almost identical with that of this firm, and the Commissioner deems this part of the case 50 strong that he merely called attention to the case of Wills as precedent.
 But all this ditI not seem to have much weight with Secretary Teller, and the firm can now go on as before. According to the Washington correspondents there is much suEpIige in Washington st she Seosatsfy $ astion. It is to be hoped tass Congress aiiI take bold of the fraudulent pension business tn earnest.
