The Exposition at New Orleans is
attracting the attention of the press
in all parts of the country and abroad.
Almost every newspaper has some
thing to say about the preparations
that are being made to further the
work of State or local associations.
The special representatives of the
Exposition commissioned by Presi-
dent Arthur, for the purpose of pro-
curing exhibits have found the news
papers ready to report speeches and
print the latest news relating to the
Worlds Fair. This circumstance no
doubt springs from the fact that the
people throughout the land read with
much interest all that is printed con-
corning this great enterprise. BY the
wide spread influence of the press the
Exposition is kown and talked about
in India, Australia, on the banks of
the Congo, in the South American re-
publics, and in the frozen regions of
the North. Seeming 1mposslbllltles
have been overcome, and the scheme
limited to a cotton exhibition at first
has been enlarged by degrees till it
now embraces a grand exposition of
arts, manufactures, mines, agricul-
ture, and in fact about everything in
which the people of to-day are interes-
ted. This exposition to be opened in
December next, covers more ground.
has more exhibits entered, than can
be recorded of any other Worlds Fair
ever attempted.
Aside from the pecuniary means
furnished, the untiring industry of its
directors, this marvel of the nine
tenth century owes much of it's re-
nown to the power of the newspapers.

Harriet Martineau's Beginning.


Harriet Martineau gives very fra nix and
pleasing account of how she felt when she
saw that her first newspaper contribution had
been printed:
There is certainly something entirely pc
culiar in the sensation Of seeing ones self in
print for the first time. The lines burn
themselves in upon the brain in way of
which black ink is incapable in any other
mode. So felt that day when went about
with my secret.
My brother had asked me to tea at his
house thai evening, and taking up the maya
zine he began to read my article, saying:
"Ah, this is new hand. They have had
nothing so good as this for long time," and
'what fine sentence that ISL Why, Harriet,
what is the matter with youa Inever knew
you so slow to praise anything before"
Ireplied in utter confusion:
II never could battle anybody. The truth
is, that article is mine"
When rose to 60 he laid his hand on my
shoulder and said, gravely:
"Now, dear, leave it for other women tc
make shirts and darn stockings Do you de-
vote yourself to this"
went home in sort Of dream, so that the
squares Of the pavement seemed to float be
fore my eyes, That evening made me ar
authoress.

A brave attempt is made to show
that something valuable has been &C
compllshed by the Greedy expedition;
but it all comes down to the fact that
two of the members reached point
four or five miles farther north than
any previous explorer ever set foot,
that a few new theories as to the con-
formation Of the land and water there
abouts are preached, and that a few
old ones are discredited. This does
not pay for the loss of nineteen lives
and the frightful suffering experienced
by the half-dozen survivors who
would have been past relief if the
rescuers had been been forty-eight
hours later.

the city of Paris SO deserted as at pres

contends, is altogether unjustified, as
the capital is better cleaned, more
abudantly watered, and healthier than
any other city in Europe.

According to statement made be-
fore the Master Car Builders Associa-
ton, there are now in use in this
country 100000 freight cars, and the
average annual expense for links and
pins for each car is $3.50, or total Of
$4,000. 1t is evident that a self-act-
ing car coupler, so made as to prevent
the naming, loss of life, and the ex-
pense of the common link pin system,
would be all invention of enormous
value. Many hundreds of patents
have been taken for improved car
couplers, but the railway companies,
for one reason or another, are shy
about introducing them. In Massa-
chusetts law has been passed COM
polling all railway companies in
that state to put self-acting couplers
on their cars on or before 1885. If
other states would adopt compulsory
laws on the subject, the Introduction
of improved couplers would soon be-
come general.
