AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
APPEAL TO THE LADIES,


That every woman in the State
nay be speedily reached, Mrs.
Jenny c. Nixon, superint, ndent of
woman's work in Louisiana, makes,
through the press, the following
appeal to the women of the State.
Copies of this circular letter have
alleaiy been distributed in many
parishes, but in some cases it is ill.,
possible to obtain correct address
rs. Hence the lady Superinteh,!-
ent inyokes the aid of the State
press. that the work may be more
quickly and thoroughly organized:
To The Women of Louisiana:
TIE managemc n! o. the American
Exposition earnestly desires that
the women of Louisiana not only
maintain their old reputation for
patriotism aud zeal in all goo
works, but that they shall add new
laure els to their crown.
The display of woman's work in
Louisiana last year was highly sue
cessful. This year it cannot fail to
be better. With our additional OK
perielce and observation of work
from other sections of the country,
we must feel stimulated to excel I'LL
past efforts. We do not wish to
make womans exh bit a sort of
bazaar for tie display of fancy
work so much as place where u
woman who has perfected any USE
full or unusual invention can display
it and compare it with the work. of
women from other States and Sec
tons.
Silk and bee culture, horticul-
tural and agricultural specimens,
domestic productions, ornithologi-
cal, chronological, botanical and
mineral collections, specimens of
really good needle work, knitting
and weaving, are among the many
things desired. Above all. useful
inventions will be priced and given
a conspicuous place.
Crackers tell us that throughout
the parishes there is but little SYM
pathy with the Exposition. This l
refuse to believe. Nothing short Of
empty space in the State Depart
ment will convince me that cur in
telligent planters and their not less
intelligent wives fail to appreciate
the many happy results of making
the world acquainted, through our
great Expositions, with the unde-
veloped riches and natural beauties
OF our beloved Louisiana. Our
own realization OF the energy and
consequent progress o. the North
and West is another important and
Inevitable result. No really i'm
portant enterprise shows its best
effects or the surface, but the gen.
eral upstirring of our energies, the
emulation. and. above all, the bet
ter knowledge given the world of
our natural advantages, can nc
more fail to benefit Louisiana and
every citizen within her borders,
than n gale of wind can fai! to stir
the quiet waters of II pool. Even
now, while a few benishted people

The WORD MoSrH.-Last week
We requested some of our readers
to send US line to rhyme with the
following:
May is most delightful month.
Our object was to get a word
that would rhyme with the word
month" We have received two
replies, as follows:
CONVICTION. La, Sept. Z. 1885.
EDITOR TAMMANY FARMER:
The following is respectfully Of
fered in reply to your call tor
word rhyming with month:
Iwould not for my life affront tn
Dignity of any month.
But honesty must here confront tn
Selfshness of sound in month"
And beg the poets pen to hunt tn
Hated thing from every month,
Till rhyme and reason jointly front tn
Hostile forces of the "month,"
And sing song of peace to blunt III
Bleak inconsonance of month"
EsPERlNcE.
In the above admirable effort,
our friend "Esperance" displays
considerable poetical talent and
ingenuity, but it requires a most
liberal elongation of the imagina-
ton, close attention to the apostro-
Plies. and judicious curtsilment
or economy of pronunciation, to
develop q smooth rhythmical or
harmonious blending of sounds.
In his attempt to accomplish m
impossible task, "Esperance" has
made very strong effort, and one
that would have secured success in
a less formidable undertaking than
that of trying to discover the truant
poetical companion of "month."
He is still at large. Try again.
Here is another:
In May, the most delightful month,
The printer years to leave his font,
Yet works his task, as is his wont.
j. ]. B., Lone Oak.
In regard to the above, we must
admit the trutlfulness of the senti-
meut, but the concordance appears
TO be defective. II is lacking in
one very important element-it
don't rhyme. "Font" and "Wont"
make good poetioal team, but
when hitched to "Month" they jump
he traces, aud it is no 60.
