A Louisiana Picture.
Boston Herald.


It is evening, and the landscape
stretches out before one III virgin
loveliness. The sun god, ere he bids
adieu t f., this scene, kisses the sinuous
bayous and streaks their mirrored
tops with silver, brightens up the
moss that streams from the heads
and limbs of trees, and throws one
blood-red gleam through vistas OF
evergreen dying away into blue
dreaniness. Then the twilight comes
on, and soon the pale crescent filings
its mystic beams upon the earth.
The giant oa'.s, bedecked with moss,
seem to assume fantastic shapes.
They create suggestions of gibbits
and OF corp. es, of rotten rigging and
of the tattered sails of ships drifting
to the unknown shore. How Dore
could have painted every form of
goblincy, every fancy of ghostli-
ness. every grimness of witchcraft,
every horror of death suggested by
them! A weird spell takes hold of
you. You imagine a deep mourning
dropping over the plains. The woods
and groves, the reeds and bayous ap-
pear to lament some great bereave-
ment, some terrible death. IL seems
as though this land were yet weeping
Tor Pan. And these, or reco.lections
of the sylvan gods and nymphs of
the antique world, crowd thick and
fast upon you; the great dree miness
of the land mesmerizes you with
unutterable sweetness. Afterward,
when you have returned to New Or
leans and its gay frivolities, its West
End and its Spanish forts, its glitter
ing saloons ana its fascinating mas
querade balls, its brilliant halls and
luxuriously appointed gambling
rooms, its Creole and Spanish-Amer-
lean beauties and its fetes and parties
aud thousand and one other attrac-
tions, that mesmerism will not have
passed away, nor the woAdrous
witcheIy of the enchanted scenery
be wholly blotted from the mind.

Arthur's Views of the Southern
Exposition.

LOUISVILLE. KY, June 12.-MajOr
J. NJ. Wright, general manager of the
southern exposition, received to-day
the following letter from President
Arthur:
MY DEAR SIR. trust that my de-
lay in answering your c0mmunica-
tion touching the proposed southern
Exposition at Louisville, in August
next, has not been misinterpreted. It
is in no wise Attributable to neglect
of interest in the great undertaking
to which you have attracted my at
tention. That undertaking on the
contrary richly deserves approval. 1t
commands and will receive my per-
sonal and official encouragement. 1t
seems, to me indeed, that its impor-
tance upon the whole country, and
especially upon the South, can scarce
ly be OvereStimated. Such exhibi-
tions have come to be among the
most marked features and most in
structive agents of our modern civil
izatlon, for they embrace the dignity
of labor and show to both labor and
capital how inextricably their inter-
ests are interviewer.
To elevate the standard of indus
trial attainment and give fresh and en-
during impetus to inventive genius
and skill, no time was ever more aus
picious than the present for such an
enterprise. Nor could it find a home
in a more fitting spot than that which
has been chosen for it. You are not
misled by enthusiasm, you but speak
words OF truth and sOberneSs when
you say that new era has dawned,
in which, as l believe, it is destined to
display in the Development of its mar
velOus resources, such zeal and ener-
gy as have never yet been exhibited
in any region of our country. or at
any period of eur national life.
The proposed exhibition will DIS
close how vast a field the South now
offers for every phase of industrial
effort in the mine, the field, the facto-
ry, everywhere indeed where activity
and skill can find room for employ
ment; and the influences of this noble !
undertaking will by no means be
limited to its mere material conse-
quences.
It will assist in quenching the
spirit of sectional antagOniSm already, |
by Gods blessing, well nigh extinct.
1t will bring the people of the land
into more intimate acquaintance and
sympathy. It will bind them to-
gether in closer devotion to the senti-
ment which now dwells in every
patriotic breast: One union; one
constitution; one destiny. l am very
truly yours,
