TExASAT TIA: EXPOSITION.

We have not space or an elaborate and
detailed articled on Texas at the Expo
sition," and only purpose merely aiiud-
ing to the way in whith our great state
looms up at tho New Orleans Worlds
Fair and Centennial Cotton Exposition.
1t il gratifying to know that nearly
every county and all he cities and
larger towns IN the state have GU exhl'
bitiun products, speciu ems OF art aud
meohanisIu, ETC., etc. As a whole, our
state far excels any other state or terri
tory in the union. You will till among
tho Texas EXHIBITS, specimens Vi every
variety Of timber in the state; of all
kinds OF stone, building and precious;
all varieties of soil; all KINDS Of miner
ala; grasses; agricultural products;
the fauna; the fora; stuffed animal, and
birds; the reptilia; chronological specl-
mems; the haudiwoik Of the artisan In
every line and department OF skilled
labor; the productions OF art III all It's
branches; the offerings Of fair woman,
from the plainest 10 Tho most Intricate,
complicated, artistical and ornamental
products OF her deit fingers and exquisite
taste. Naught is absent of the pro-
ducts, natural and artificial, OF our great
common wealth, varied and innumer
able as they are. They are arranged,
too, most altractiyely and in a manner
to show plaiuest and most readily the
" ond .riul resources ard the incalcul-
o 10 advantages Of rexas, in the brOaiest
sweep aud fullest sense of the words.
All our cities, Dallas, Houston,
San Antonio, Fort Worth, Aus
TIN and Waco, and all the
larger towns, such as Marshall, Sher-
man, Denison, Gainesville, BRENNAN,
Denton, Paris, Bonban, Terrell, Green
vile, and numerous Others, have ele-ant
and interesting Displays, exhibits that
reflect credit upon them and that speak
volumes in their behalf The display OF
Galveston, the great city beside the sea,
tho yearner Tor deep water, is some
thing marvellous in its beauty, marvel
Gus ia its scope, wonderful in its elao-
orateness, wonderful III its appropriate
ness. When the visitor reaches the
space allotted to GalvestOn, his eye
gaxes not upon sculpLured marble or ell
Craven brass; 1t rests not upon pink
tinted, pearl Tipped shells. or tangled
sea weed, or corals from the peri
haunted caves of ocean; it sees
no aquarium of saltwater fishes
or fiddler crabs; 1t observes
no collection Of clear-cut sand
crystals neither from the bar or the
beach; it notes neither grasses nor flow
crs, nor needlework, nor the cunning
m masterpieces of skilled wOrkmen, nor
the gifts of Ceres or Pomona; it finds no
mineral, norstone, nor tree nor moses,
upon deep water. Calves
ton has her display though. Two pri-
vate gentlemen, alone, unaided, az their
own expense aud peril, have seen to it
that Galveston should. as she Goes in
ali things else, even IN her modesty,
stand uneqrallod, unrivailed by any
Texas city ia her display at the great
Worlds fair. From tue eternal ice OF
Siberia, the suow-covered steppes of
Russia; from tie heights IF painiatia,
fro,n the depths OF the Carpathian
from rose ombowered Per-
sia; from the suu-Iissed slopes of Italy;
from the breezy groves of Spain-irom
every land aud cvory CLINE, from orient
