ont over the parks OF the city and
round the exposition buildings and
sec the greeu grass growing So lux
uriantly, is enough to make u
feel there is nothing else but spring
-hereabouts.
Amongthe important pcrsonnges
now visiting this section is Chief
Caul Of The Sioux tlii e Of Irdians,
Standing Rock Agency. Dakota.
He is accompanied by his squaw
and papooSc and they are max
ing their headquarters at the Da
kota department in the govern
ment building, where the little
family are the wonder, if not the
admiration of the populace.
The ~canceling of the engage
ment with Prot. Currier and band
by the Exposition Management is
nothing serious, as there are many
bands, as fine ifnot so large, winch
will be glad to furnish music, wen
complimentary, at any time. No
I bly,, the Ncxicm Cavalry Band,
II of the best organizations of the
knd in America, tender their SER
vices without charge. Again, the
grand organ in Music Hall Is about
ready for use, and will be played
every day BY celebrated perform
crs.
The State of chihuahua, Mexico.
has q piece of silver bullion on ex-
hibition in the main building that
weighs 5,640 pounds, worth
$4,000.
Your readers may be surprised
to learn the Mexican iron building
under Roadway, though covering Il
small space, will cost that govern
ment no less than $4,000. 1t is
being So scientifically constructed
that it can be taken down in sec
tons, when the exposition closes
here, and shipped to the city of
Mexico as memento of it's repre-
s~entation in the United States /;
and where Mexico itself expects to
hold high carnival next year, when
that Republic expec's to have the
world visit her.
The Government building, in
which the states and territories dis
play their exhibits, is occupied in
the center by representations from
the various departments OF the
United States Government at
Washington City. The expendi-
ture OF the money appropriated by
the government, amounting to
something like $500. 600, and the
selection of articles for exhibition
were entrusted to q Board of Com
missioners following Col. S. C.
LyfOrd, War, &. II. Hill. Sta e,

ture Of this exhibit ia an immense
globe fifty feet in diameter, upon

visions Of the earth. Plainly de-
s.ribed thereon appear various facts

tim, principle productions and in
dustrles, commerce, etc. This

mems of the principal economic
ductions indiSenousto the different
countries represented thereon.
