Helping the New Orleans Ex-
 position.

The bill loaning one milli on dollars tn the Worlds Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition at New Orleans has been passed by Congress and has been signed by the President. The money IS to be paid by the Treasurer of the United States in certain s'ipul ated sums on the draft of the president and treasurer of the Exposition, and on the assurance of the subscription of five hun- dred thousand dollars by the stockholders. As this latter snb- scribed capital is to be increased to a million dollars, and one hun dred thousand dollars have been subscribed by the city of New Orleans, the enterprise starts with two million, one hundred thou sand dollars. In the case Of the Centennial Exhibition a. Phila- delphia Congress appropriated two millions, the city of Philsdel- phia a million and a half and the Sta:e of Pennsylvania one mil lon dollars-mOre than dHuble ihe sum subscribed for New Orr leans. The New Orleans Expa- sition h as the advantage of gen. eraI popularity at the outset. which the Philadelphia enter prise lacked: it will also benefit by all preceding experience, and this is worth considerable money to its management. lhe Atlanta Cotton Exp p)sition resulted Tn widely extending the trade in Northern machinery and agricul- tural implements, aud stimulated inven ton In the direction of the production aud han,iiing of cot ton.

 "WeIl, by jingo, I'll do it. and it won't cost you cent" "All right; l'H be out in a ! minute" And pretty soon she came out with her husband, who remarked: "Bere are the coup lings."
 The plumber scratched his head d moment, but attended to the job, and when he brought in hi bill next day of $7 for fixing the hose she reminded him, with q merry twinkle in her eye, that he had agreed to do It for n0th- ing. Then he scratched his head again and crossed the Item out
 
 He was telling his mishap hall lan hour later to a friend, and closed ny saying:
 By thunder, I thought she wanted me to put on her stock Iings."
 He says that he believes that this is the first time that he eveI got beat out of bill in his life aud if he ever has a gAs pipe tt fix in her house. he'll moro than l get even.-Ex.
