The Dairy Exhibit at New Orleans.

O. NJ. Tinkham of North Pomfret,
State Superintendent of the dairy eX-
hibit at the New Orleans Exposition,
will send premium lists and circular Of
instructions to all who apply as above.
lie sends out this circular:
The dairy exhibit at the approaching
Worlds Exposition at New Orleans
offers to us an opportunity which we
cannot afford to let pass by uDimprov-
ed. Visitors will be there from all
parts of the world, seeking where they
can best procure those articles they de-
sire and of the best quality. New
channels of trade will be opened, new
markets found, new customers secured.
OF all the different exhibits none will
be of greater monetary interest or
commercial Importance to Vermont
than that of the dairy products. Here
will be visitors from localities where
good butter is not made, notably the
Southern States, Mexico and Central
America, which righttully should be
our markets; and if we take hold Of the
matter with personal interest and III
dividual effort we can make an exhibit
creditable in amount and unsurpassed
in quality, which will extend our mar
ket, increase the demand for our dairy
products, and so make better prices to
the pecuniary advantage of every per-
son in our States. We cannot afford to
be careless and backward in this matter.
The great dairy States of the West,
with Western push and enthusiasm, are
| lax Of nd nd to CO
cure these advantages but If we do our
duty aud wake up to the Importance OF
the matter as Vermont farmers and
farmers wives can, Vermont butter
and cheese will have nothing to fear in
the competition. The dairy exposition
opens January >, and continues twenty
days. Liberal prizes are offered, and
all possible facilities afforded.

incidents freely used to illustrate the
theme. Again and again the multitude
wept. AT the close, torty-four request
ed prayers.
In order that more people might hear
the message, a meeting for women only
was held at 3 p. m. and a similar one
for men only at Z p. IN. From six to
eight thousand were present each time.
In the afternoon over fifty, and in the
evening over seventy, sought salvation
through the blood of Christ.
Thus closed the convention. From
it great good has resulted to this great
city. Many have been saved; many
others have become earnest enQuirers !;
while still more, who are the professed
followers of Jesus, have been filed with
zeal. and are asking, "Lord, what wilt
thou have me to do" Next week a
series of special meetings will be begun
in every evangelistic church in the city.
In person, MIR. Moody j. large and
stout. a well-shaped head sets square

ion for collars. His dark hair and full

threads, but his eye is as keen, his voice

lures. His grammar is not always
good; but his vocabulary is very rich,
and his words are always well chosen.
He is now forty-seven years old. Con-
verted at seventeen, he has ever since
been an earnest worker, beginning III
the most humble manner aud doing
what no one else would do. He tells
of himself that he made much misera-
able work in attempting to speak in
meeting, that after the church had stood
it as long as they thought they could,
the pastor come to him and kindly told
him that he "was sorry to say it, but
some of the members were distressed ;
and while they felt certain that he was
sincere, they believed he could serve
God better by keeping still" That, "
says Mr.. Moody, "was the kind of en-
enlargement that got" But he did
not so understand his duty, and, undis-
couraged, persisted in talking for Je-
sus. How God has honored his faith
and obedience ali the world knows.
