/ Tom Moore, in ono of his much ouots<i
poems. sings Of "a beauty forever be-
wltchiRQly bright, like the long SUNNY
lapse OF sunny days light shining on.
SHINING on by no shadow made tender.
tili love falls asleep in this sameness of
spiendor." He then proceeds to contrast
u with different genus OF loveiinsss

upon sutumn's shadovy days.n II has
always been mystery to me how such
| rank little toady and tuft- hunter AZ
Tom Moore could have written suoh
pretty verses with occasional "drous''
into real poetry. Especially how he
could rhyme 20 royalty about the face Of
nature in that foggy little Island from
which he escaped only once to our
shores; and then alas! disgracsd himself
still further by repeating q stale libel on
far greater doubling Thomas-the
statesman Jefferson-of whom

Declared that be dreamed of freedom

by Moore kept singing themselves
through my head in this city, since here
is continually forced upon the fancy q
kind Of curious connection between the
average comeliness Of the women and
the balminees of the weather. Whether
such an idea can be scientifically sus-
tanned may be doubted, but the two I'M
mated facts are easily admitted by one
who has ever lived here for 4 year, And
the weather here now is such that mere
ly to breathe and live becomes a low
luminous luxury. A suspicion Of frost

heavy shower at noon to cool the air,
bracing breeze from the north at night.
II is the sort Of weather that lends brisk
ness to mems minds aud bodies and
makes business boom.
And business ia booming. New Or
leans has evidently determined to CO.
Quet no more with the vision of her de
parted grandeur, but to rise in the near
future To higher commercial rank
than ever-the right that should be hers
BY right of climate and geographical
position. When we consider that, of
the annual commerce of Central and
South America. estimated at $676, OO0,-
600. We, the United States, only control
one fifth. it becomes apparent that
something enght 70 be done to gain
OUR FAIR SHARE
Of this trade, for New Orleans being the
natural gateway, naturally has been
anxious for some time past to make
some big bid and attract such COM
merce. She is now carrying her point
with Worlds Exposition as the We
hicle. In this enormous enterprise the
Latin races are manifesting an intense
interest. Commissioners from Mexico
and South America have been in this
CITY for months, and their contributions
to the attractions of the Exposition,
from popular point of view, bid fair
to outweigh those of all other nations.
though Japan, Persia and China are
pushing them hard. The best evidence
OF Latin American interest is the beau.
