The WORLDS Exposition.

The junior of the E Z, mlrerim
proving brief space Of time and
taking advantage of Bishop Leray's
op inion on the Sunday question, ran
down to the great Exposition and
Worlds Fair on the las l. G. train
Saturday evening, and spent the
following day on the Exposition
grounds.
The Government building was the
only one that his limited time woult.
admit Of visiting, and there he found
a perfect httle world blossoming and
blooming with so many works of art;
so many exhibits Of mechauical
genius; such great variety and
abundance Of agricultural exhibits
displayed in the most artistic aud
aesthetic manner; the works Of the
manufacturer and inventor; the huge
specimens Of timber Of every name
and variety; the hundreds Of speci-
mems Of the fnny tribe from the
waters of our own State; the grand
display Of corn and hay; the excellent
display Of canned oysters and other
canned good; the magnificent result |
Of Professor Lawrence G. Johnson, |
work in tbs way Of geological spec-
mems; the splendid exhibit Of birds |
aud fowls and Of their eggs, and a
very great number Of other articles, |
all Of which we found in tie Missis-
sippi Department, that We were per-
tectly d0zed and at once appreciated |
our inability 10 handle subject so
exiensiveand comp defensive IN detail,
to say nothing Of the claims Of other
states and territories who &re amply !
represented by specimens Of every.
thing they can produce or manufac
ture.
The Mississippi exhibit will be one
Of The grandest If Ill the sieterhood
when her exhibits shall have all
arrived and been placed in position,
unlike many other States
that came to the front noby at
Louisville and other recent exposi-
tioDs, she had to go to the field and
forest and factory and studio aud
fishery for every item that she now
shows TO the worl d as evidence Of
her wealth and resources. Nxet to
Texas Mississippi has the largest
space in the Government building,
and ere many days it will be a per-
picking question as to proper display
and disposal Of exhibits that are
crowding in upon them.
The people Of Mississippi are
indebted to our distin.
guished fellow citizen, Hon, r. O,
who secured the passage
Of the bill ii rough the Senate
aud House Of Representatives ap.
propriating twelve thousand dollars
10 that purpose, and who pressed it
Until il became a law; but the great
success Of its practical consumma.
lion is due TO the indeiatigable and
lntiring energy Of State Commits
'ioner, S A. Jonas, who has spared
neither time, trouble, labor nor incon-
in his efforts to place MIS-
'issippi where she properly belongs
in the front rank, if not in the
cad, of all the sisterhood of agricul
ural States. After making most
persistent and extensive CANVASS of
he State in her behalf, he now
ievotes fifteen hours every day to
ocelviug and placing the exhibits,
nd has the assistance of several
Gentlemen ia the work. This much

TIE determination Of the Exposition
managers TO throw open the doors of the
srett Worlds Fair on Sunday, gives gem
eral satisfaction. Thousands of laboring
men and nard worked mechanics and
clerks are thus enabled to visit the build
ings with their families who would Other
wise have been denied this brain nc ur-
ishing festival. The only people who
have reason to complain of this decision
are the proprietors of gambling saloons

they have heretofore largely fed, will
during the Exposition spend Sunday
with their wives and little ones.

by far the most weigh;y sub

called upon TO deal. While the
attention Of our Law makers is wholly
absorbed in considering the interests of
the wealthy or independent, who COM
prise but a small proportion of our popu-

danger in any country, but under the
Democratic teaching OF a Republic like
