OUR EXPOSITION LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

from our heBular CorreSponuent.
New ORLEANS, La, March rs, 1885
Your correspondent has just made
a tour of the main building of the
Exposition, and will 30 far as posi-
BILE, give the reader word picture Of
what was seen. The roof covers 80
acres Of space, and almost every foot
of it is occupied with exhibits, except
ing the aisles, which traverse the floor
in every direction. The private ex-
hibits occupy neat and in many cases,
highly ornamented apartments Of va
rious dimensions, and contain every
conceivable variety of goods, wares
and merchandise, from O lady's thin
BILE to tun of beer. All the fabrics
of mill and factory, of art and genius
are here represented, and when it is
remembered that G,00O applications
for spaces were made, for this build
ing alone, and that all are occupied,
or nearly all, some idea of the grand
eur and variety Of the scene, may be
formed.
To many visitors the machinery
presents the greatest fascination. II
occupies the entire west side Of the
building, space three hundred feet
wide, and including the annex, about
seventeen hundred feet long, all Of
which is literally crowded with sam
Piles Of all the best brands in the
world. As might be expected, cotton
and sugar cultivators, mills and re
fneries, claim large share Of space,
while general agricultural imple-
ments, reapers. mowers. threshers,
plows, etc. have myriads Of represen
tatiTes. and wood and metal workers
are numerous. As showing what ex-
tremes meet a watch company eI-
hibits the smallest engine ever con
stIueted, having cylinder ! 81 Of an

A HYMN OF FAITH AND HOPE.
ny W. 8. PETERSON.

Father OF Life, TO thee We give
Praise for the life derived from thee;
Because thou livest, We shall live;
Our lives forever thine shall be.
Father OF Light, our eyes wo lift
To see the glory OF thy day;
We praise thee for thy wondrous gift,
The knowledge Of the heavenly way.
Father of Love, our hearts TO thee
We gladly yield IN loving trust.
To thy projecting arms We heo,
And spirit triumphs over dust.
Father OF all, thy love and light
Can never fail, can never cease;
All souls shall turn from sin and night,
And find eternal life and peace.
For time aud death can fix no bound
To boundless lovo for erring men;
And every wanderer shall be found,
And brought within the fold again.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.


From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 21st, 1885
Ifactions speak louder than words
Mr.. Cleveland is telling the office
seekers in quite audible tones to g.
home and wait for their country Il
call them TO public station, rather
thon to insist on seeking honors fol-
themselves or their cronies. Thu
far the pressure of influence seems t.
have failed to dictate single import
ant Office. The President is evi
IDENTIFY callous TO entreaty from inter
ested parties, and such urgency is
apt to do more harm than good. HI
very plainly disbelieves in the feuda
system in politics, and resents slate
making by delegation as an infringe
ment on the functions Of the execu
tive. 1t is probable that we shall
hear no more of meetings by con
gressional state delegations to unite
on names for recommendation. That
scheme has been tried on pretty
thoroughly, and must be put down
as failure.
1t is amusing to observe the efforts
of democratic Senators to avoid Of
fee seekers at the Capitol. Every
morning at an early hour the appli-
cants for senatorial influence to aid
them in getting appointments begin
to collect at the Senate chamber. BY
II o'clock generally all the seats in
rear of the chamber are occupied and
the aisles are thronged with anxious
watchers. Numerous questions are
put to the pages in regard to Senator
So-and So, as to when he usually
comes, by which door he enters, etc.
1t is noticeable of late that the demo-
cratic Senators, with few exceptions
do not show up until after the Senate
has been called to order. At five
minutes to twelve Jim Christie makes
the circuit of the chamber, warning
all in his deep bass voice, who are
not entitled to the floor to get out.
As the crowds file out the men cast
anxious glances back over their
shoulders, apparently still hoping to
catch sight of the Senator upon whom
their hopes of Office rest. But the
Senators, thanks to the rules, are
protected from their hungry constit-
uents after the fall Of the gavel call
ing the body to order.
1t is whispered that Mrs. Manning
will be the social leader in the Cabi-
net circle for several seasons. Mrs.
Bayard is toe much out of health to
bear the fatigues and responsible
ties and must be often represented
by her daughter. Mrs. Manning is q
woman of fascinating presence, who
possesses plenty Of tact, ready mem
ory of faces and names, and is social
ly inclined. Indeed, I am told that
her ambition, rather than her hus-
bands, led him to give up his bust
ness in Albany for the Cabinet posi-
tion. LENox.
