THE EXPOSITION MEETING.

The meeting held at the Cotton
Exposition, Wednesday, in the in
terest of the Exposition, was sue
cessful in many respects. 1t gave
the Director General an opportu-
nifty to explain the financial condi-
tion of the Exposition, and to show
just how and where every cent of
money had been expended. The
accounts presented by him of the
operations of the management will
be read by all with interest. The
total receipts have been, excluding
subscriptions of the last few days,
$1,7l0,6l1; the expenditures, ST.
9S0.523; showing a shortage of
$269,9l2, which is the present debt
of the Exposition, less the recent
contributions.
There can certainly be no COM
plant about these figures. The
great bulk of the money has been
expended in the construction of
buildings, the Improvement of the
park, the machinery department,
in the arrangement of the State
and Territorial exhibits, and such
other necessary obligations. The
salaries have been infinitisimal,
and the Office expenses, special
commissioners, etc., amount to a
very small figure. As for the ad-
vertising, no Exposition has ever
been so welladyertised throughout
the world-all this at the small
sum of $56, 7S5, for news, adver-
tisements, posters, circulars, litho-
graphs, folders and postage.
The Director General then pro-
ceet!ed to show that with $50, 900
now he could pay the running ex-
penses and pressing debts of the
Exposition and tide over the pres
ent difficulties; and he appealed to
the Cotton Exchange to contribute
that amount. The response was
very favorable, and the subscrip-
tions were increased to $i4, 800,
and a committee was appointed to
obtain additional subscriptions. In
fine, the meeting showed the finan-
cial status of the Exposition to be
better than expected; that its mon
cy had been wisely, judiciousiy
and economically expended, and
that it required a small amount to
place the Exposition in good con-

We clip the following item from
the st. Tammany Farmer of the
24th ult., which will be of interest
to many of our readers. We can
but hope and expect that Capt.
Houston will, in the near future,
develop his fine marble quarry, and
create and supply large demand.
1t is beyond all question, a beauti-
ful and everlasting stone, equally
suitable for building and ornamen-
tai purposes:

ry. i'll Winn parish. 1t is very fine
specimen, and is said to be superior to
the best Italian marble. Through the
generosity of Capt. Houston. ST. Tamma-
ny enjoys the proud distinction of being
the first parish in the State whose Court
house contains a cornerstone of Louisi-
ana marble, and this honor is highly APP
preciaied by our citizens. The stone will
be placed In position next Monday, with
appropriate ceremonies.

the best in the world. But, on the other
hand, We know that this society has been
a thing of gradual growth-that 1t is a
growth and not manufactured article.
If all its doors were thrown wide open to-
morrow only the favored few could enter
after all. The best society never can be
thoroughly democratic; that is to say, it
cannot admit men and women simply be-
cause they are human and twenty lone
years Of age. But there need be no dead
line drawn around it; no artificial bar
riers Of any kind are needed to protect it.
The man of social culture has the pass

needs no herald; he is instantly recogni-
zed.-Picaynne.

NO TINE TO READ.

4
reply when a person is asked to
subscribe for a newspaper.
''No time to read;" sad though
lamentable indeed, if true, that
weary toilers have no time to Gull
tivate the higher and better quail
ties of their natures. To say so is
to assert that muscle is more than
brain; physical force of greater
volume than intellectual culture
and enjoyment. If you have not
time to read, our advice would be
to take time. Farm work is never
finished. After the hardest days
toll you will find something else to
do. Something else that needs
attention; and if you wait for
leisure hours to come for every
piece of work to be finished, read
ing time will never come to your
rural home. 1t is more than meat
and drink, and to the body more
than raiment. Youyourself, with
your intellectual faculties and inn
mortal spirits are of vastly more
importance than houses and lands;
than store houses of grain and raj
ment. These are all worthless,
unless they can be enjoyed. Every
kind of labor is degrading unless
it is done from an exalted motive,
from the desire to gather about our
homes the comforts, conveniences,
and even the luxuries of life for
our enjoyment. Good books and
papers are necessary to the latter.
With the mind we'll stored with
useful knowledge all kinds Of La
Dor are elevated to a noble place
In the world's estimation of true
worth. No home can be made at
tractive and profitable to our chill
dren if parents are continually
harrassed aud harrassing about
work, nothing but work. Apleas-
ant, happy home is the dearest,
sweetest spot on earth, it cannot
be pleasant and happy unless all
the inmates are cheerful, intelli-
gent companions of one another.
Cheerful happy dispositions in the
home circle we need, far more than
we need boarded wealth; these
cannot be well cultivated without
reading, thinking and talking.
Again. read something that will
be useful to you, something that
will help you along; tighten your
toll, elevate your thoughts and en-
able you to become an estimator of
your family. History, science,
philosophy, and things you like,
but read. Take time to. read.
Above all do not neglect to read
about your own pursuit. Keep an
eye on matters but do not neglect
the farm, home and tire-side.
Your success depends upon this.
Go one eye on politics, but keep
two eyes on the farm and its man
agement. Keep yourself well post
ed in matters in which you are in
terested; be cheerful and you will
be happy. There is great deal of
real happiness lost to the farmers
home because he will not enjoy it.
If you are too poor to pay for a
paper, borrow your neishbor's; if
he will not lend it to you go out
and hang yourself.

DEBT

Debt has killed more men than pesti-
lence; has filed more jails than intoxi-
eating liquors, has sent more souls un-
hidden to judgment than unrequited
love; has robbed mankind of more hap
piness than Death.
Debt is the destroyer of peace. the raw
isher of contentment, the death warrant
of happiness.
1t bars the way to prosperity; it sits =
spectral guest at the social board it
stands between the children and the fire
upon the hearth, and absorbs the light
and warmth and comfort which are theirs
by right.
1t robs the landscape of its beauty, the
warm breezes of their s0ftness. causing
the one to become a barren waste, and
the other to carry the chill of December
in its caresscs.
Debt is hell.
1t is great stone lying upon the sep
ulchre of hope, forbidding it resurrec-
ton.
The rack is a bed of flowers compared
to that which debt prepares for its vic-
tins.
Thumb screws and cat-'o-nine tails
would bring sense Of relief to the debt,
or who could thus be made to forget his
mental sufferings. The brain is more
sensitive than the body. A weight that
would crush the body is as nothing to the
weight which debt lays upon the brain.
Dante's Inferno is failure and his hell
a weak conception, because he failed TO
depict the sufferings of one goaded to
frenzy by debt.
Debt robs modesty Of its bushes man.
hood of its virtue, the race of its human-
ity.
Religion is farce and CArist's mission
on earth y failure, if it can not save men
from the tortues Of debt.
Childhood. and youth, and manhood,
and old age are crushed by it. 1t Is
Fiend Incarnate that has taken posses-
sion Of society; has poisoned the well
springs of justice, has tainted the pure
waters of mercy, has corrupted the foun-
tain of life. ..ss
Debt warps the judgment; ii palsies
the brain: it stiles the pronsptings a the

Some of the Popular Notions Corrected
A College Professors Ideas.
Scientific Americana
Professor George H. Robe, of the Col
lege of Phi ysicians and Surgeons, Balti-
more, in a recent lecture on "Some Popu-
lar Errors Concerning Health and its
Preservation, quoted the saying, "One
mans meat is another's poison, and
showed that, while idiosyncrasies with
regard to certain articles of food or med
icines do exist, they are far less frequent
than is generally believed Articles of
food which ordinarily disagree may be
better borne if differently cooked A
more serious error is that one should rise
from the table hungry. The sensation of
hunger is cry of the tissues for food,
and should always be appeased. Much
of the i'll health of brain workers is due
to lack of sufficient food 1t is impOs-
sibe to lay down hard rules as to the
quantity of food one should eat but the
remarks of the old country doctor who
had lived in good health, doing hard work
until fourscore and ten, might be taken
as examples: " have always eaten when
! wanted to eat, as much as l wanted, and
the best food / could get Another fall
lacy is. that all diseases are due to dis
turbances of digestion. Graham bread,
oatmeal, cracked wheat, etc., are more
difficult of digestion than pure wheat
bread
1t is a dangerous error to withhold cold
drinks from persons sick with fever. It
is cruel, obiectless, and the dangers that
are said to follow it are imaginary. The
effects of alcohol upon the body were dis
cussed at some length, and the conclusion
drawn that alcohol does not supply heat
greatest danger to the man who
gets dead drunk in cold weather
is that he may freeze to death.
The use of alcoholic drinks in health
is injurious, but its medicinal
use is valuable in many instances. The
notion that we should not battle while
overheated is as unreasonable as it is
widespread, but persons should not remain
in the bath long enough to become chilled
The traditional axiom that boils are an
evidence of good health is a snare and
delusion. Professor Robe said: For my
own part l should prefer to be without
that sort of health. Even Job when suf-
fering from an abundant crop, could not
gain consolation from his would-be com
forters. 4"
That vaccination does not prevent small
pox is very dangerous error, but that it
is preventive of other diseases is equally
fallacy. Statistics prove that before the
introduction of vaccination deaths an
nually from smallpox numbered nearly
5000 for every 1000. 600 inhabitants.
Since the practice has become general the
percentage of deaths has fallen 20 about
one tenth of the former number. Without
vaccination the deaths from smallpox in
this country would be 49, 900 year. Vac
cination has not increased other diseases
That any one remedy is cure for all dis
eases that atfiict humanity is an absurdity.
While hydropathy and electropathy are
unquestiOnably of benefit il some dis
eases, they cannot be relied upon for the
cure of all
