THE GRAND CorroN ExrosITIol

THE GRAND COTTON EXPOSITION.
New Orleans having secured the honor and
advantage of being the place where the great
Cotton Exposition is to occur, is now alive
and active in arranging preliminary steps.
Such an occurrence requires good deal of
administrative talent and some experience
That city is not devoid of these requisites;
the annual Mardi Gras has exercised the one
and impaired the other. The Chamber of
Commerce, the Stock Exchange, together
with various other business organizations
are acting harmoniously in connection with
the City Council, in the selection of a site,
fixing the date of opening, raising the ways
and means, and other important details. As
a specimen of the spirit that prevails, we
may mentien that the clerks of the city are
discussing in the city press proposition that
every clerk in New Orleans subscribe 81 q
month toward the exposition fund. There il
much discussion as 70 the tims, bat the pres.
emit turn Of feeling in New Orlesns appears
to run in favor of opening in December, and
continuing so as to Include the ii ne OF the
Mardi Grss festivities. Such a season would
be delightful to Northern visitor, and the
idea of including the Msrdl Gras display
within the expositisn period cannot but

of education at an old field school, Ed Richard
SON had not emerged from boyhood, before he "a

Language Of the Mustache.

Even the mustache has its story to tel
concerning the character Of the wearer
When it is ragged and, as it were, fly
ing hither and thither, there is lack OF
self-control. When it is straight and
orderly the reverse is the case, other
things, of course, taken into account
Ii there is tendency to curl at the
ends of the mustache, there is
a tendency to ambition, vanity OF
display. When the curls turns
upward there is geniality, com.
bined with love OF appreciation
when the curls turn downward there is q
more sedate turn of mind, not unaccom
panied with gloom. The reverse quality
is well indicated by the common por
traits of Shakespeare, who was as much
noted for cheerfulness and geniality in
life as those qualities are manifested il
his writings. 1t is worthy OF remark
that good tempered men will, in playing
with the mustache, invariably give it an
upward inclination, whereas cross
grained and morose men will put it OBJ
liquely downward.
