A TrOpIcaI Trim,

A private letter from well known attur-
ney of this city who is visiting New Orleans
states that in many places the Cotton
Exposition transcends the Centennial
Exposition of 1876, and every one who has
the opportunity is advised to journey to New
Orleans during the present month. Tue
natural attractions of the South will reach
their climax during tue next five weeks, and
for this reason, this is the season pie-emi-
nently for visiting that section OF the coun-
try. The "Physiciaus' Excursion" which
goes out of Philadelphia the 23d of April
promises 20 be very enjoyable and very
notable trip. Besides many of those who are
most eminent in the medical profession, there
will be also those accompanying the hxcnr-
lists who have adorned and dignified other
walks of lie-prominent among those may
be mentiOne H IN. s. j. Randall. A num-
Der of Delaware officials, with their families.
have already enrolled their names on the

Our Foreign Ministers.

Professor Anderson has received the ap-
pointment of the Danish mission largely be-
cause he is the 'father of Morse literature
IN America" and generally on account of
his Scandinavian proclivities. In other
words because Erasmus B. Anderson is a
thorough Dane, or Norwegian, or Swede,
for the nominee has no other claims for
special selection, tile Secretary of State has
endorsed his nominal ion as our minister to
Denmark
1t appears to us that the above might aT-
ford some of the best Of reasons for the ap-
pointmenU of the mission from Copenhagen
to Washington, as Danish minister to the
| United States-but for an American minis
ter to Denmark, surely il is not to much to
ask that the special proolivitics, the pro-
nouced attainments and prominent qualiR-
cations be of a distinctively American and
not Danish type. The American minister at
Copenhagen should not be Dane but an
American, clearly recognized so at sight.
Latterly, in regard to the foreign mis-.
sions a great deal of inverted sentiment has
obtained, The representatives of this coun.
try abroad should be noticeable specially as

should be extremely acceptable among tht
people TO whom he is deputed as our repre-
sentative, advantageous as such fac
may be, it is of supremely inferior import

Sparkling By The Firelight.

Uncle Davy was giving the boys
some advice in their love.making
affairs, and one of them asked him
how the young people did when he
was sparkling. "Them was great
times, boys,' he said in reply.
1--WE didn't have no gas nor no ker
osene. We done u sparkins' by
Il plain tallow dip but most ire
quently just by the freight. Fire
light is warmin', and t1ickers just
enough to make a girls eyes shine.
It's mighty soft and purity, too, and
kinder in a way none of your gas
lights know anything about. Some
times the fire shined up a little too
powerful in places, and the youn 6
man would git up without sayin
anything and put a shoveful Of ash
es on it. Then he would cuddle up
to the girl in the shadows, and she
would cuddle some, too, and 1t real
" didL't seem like there was any
thing else in the whole big round
earth to be wished for. Purity soon
the fire would git obstroperons
again, and the little flames would
twinkle in and out, as i" they want
ed to see what was goin' on, or had
seen, and was langhin' and Wlnkln'
about it and havin' some fun, too,
aud the Young fellow would reach
for the shovel and the ashes and
cover the bright blaZes all up.
And OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, now,
only sometimes-the girl would get
up and put ashes on, and then

came in the spring, and the fishln'

his life among the Indians. He was
proud Of being one of the descendants
of a powerful aud favored Scotch clan.
One day he donneG the highland cos-
tune and presented himself before
his blooming bride. expecting, o.
course, to be admired and compliment
ted. On the contrary, the heart!ess
young wife made all manner of fun of
her husband and his strange garb.
He was much Inundated and asked
what she meant by her unseemly con-
duct. Then she told him that he had
her hand but not her heart that she
had married him to please her parents.
