Tho Worlds Great Exposition.

It is difficult for the inexpsri. enced to be made to realize the great magnitude of the Worlds Exposition at New Orleans. Those who by good fortune were enabled to attend the Centennial Exposi. tion at Philadelphia in 1876. when informed that the space covered by exhibits at the Worlds Exposition is one third larger than Philadsl. phia, and that it has the advant- age of all of the improvements since made in machinery in the arts and sciences, and of the exten- sion and development oftrsde and commerce, can realize something of it's immensity and extent, but those whose experience has been limited to county, State or local fairs, can really form no concep- ton ot the magnificsnce, grandeur an d magnitude of the Worlds Ex- p osition.
 There are fourteen large build. ings erected by the management, two of them covering forty-five acres of space. Two large build ings have been erected by the Mex ican Government and one large exhibition building by manufactur- ing companies. All ofthese struct ures are crowded with exhibits. A city of rarest, richest treasures. A world of industry and art.
 The expense involved in an un- dertaking this magnitude is enor- nous. It is beyond the compass of private, local, or even State on terprise. Without tho assistance of the General Governm ent, the effort to have held a Worlds Ex- position would have been abortive. With the sl l,G50,0O0 appropriated and loaned by Congress to the Worlds Exposition, it's manage ment has been enabled to present to the world an Exposition hereto fore uurivalled. From the dispo- sition manifested by Congress, it seems dctermir -d that no aid of this character wIii ever again be accorded to any industrial exposi- tion or enterprise. Hence, tho present Worlds Exposition will undoubtedly bc the last one Ofthis century and age. People failing to visit it will miss the greatest Op- portunity of lifetime.
 At no prior exposition have rail road rates been SO low and rcas. onabls. Accommodations in the city of Now Orleahs are ample, and reasonable in the charges. The weather there is delightful. Everyone able to go should i'm. prove tdls occasion.

 10000 specimens weighing 75 tons gives an idea of it's magnitude but visit is necessary to form 8 just comprehension of it's impor. tance and value. Here 10 to be found the richest silver ore and the largest peice Of copper ore ever on exhibit, the former from the sil- yer king mine, consisting chiefly of native silver worth 3lO,OOO. and the latter from the Copper Queen mine, weighing 1900 pounds, 9 feet in height and assaying 8 per cent copper. A mammoth mineral cabinet containing ? 800 rich spec linens from different mines in the territory, and over l,000 specimens of copper ores from the Clifton mines unsurpassed for beauty, 23 glass cases of precious minerals from every county in the territory including specimens of free gold, native silver, chloride of silver, bromides; suiphidcs malachite azu- rite bornitc erubesite chrysocalla vanadanite wultenito also culprite on hemmatite limonite and dolO- mite. Hundreds of neat piles and large pyramids of copper and sil- yer and gold ores making in all their native bfiiiiancy a scene that can be better imagined than de scribed. In addition to this vast mineral wealth her agriculture display at once dispels all erone- ous ideas of barrenness sterility, and gives .conclu.;ve evidence that for climate and general re- scourses, Arazona is without an equal.

We hope to see st. Tammany
parish we'll represented at the Elk :
position next Thursday, "Lonisi-
ana Day" While the Exposition
belongs to all nations, and en-
braces the world in its scope. yet it
is within our gates and on Louisi-
ana soil, and we should show our
appreciation of this great honor by
turning out en- masse, and making
our State day the greatest of all
days at the Exposition. Our parish
exhibit-considering our sparse
population. and the limited deyel-
opment of our resources-com-
pares favorably with that of any
parish in the State, and our citizens
can say with pride that they hail
from 'to!d st. Tammany." Many
OF our citizens have already attend
ed the Exposition, and may per-
haps feel that they cannot afford a
second trip; but the fame and honor
OF our State calls for some little
sacrifice. and the small matter of a
few dollars should not be allowed
to outweigh our duty and patriot
ism. Every Louisianian. who has
a spark of pride for his State.
should be present on Louisiana
Day. aid assist in making it one OF
the most memorable events in our
history.

THE DUTIES OF THE CENTER SEX
HOW BEST FULFILLED.
What a great task is assigned to wo-
man. Its dignity can not be elevated. 1t is
not her province to make laws, to lead
armies, nor to be at the head of great en-
terprises, but to her is given the power to
form those by whom the laws are made,
to teach the leaders of mighty armies and
the governors of vast empires. She is
required to guard against having the
slightest faint of bodily infirmity touch
the frail creature whose moral, intellect
ual and physical being is derived from
her. She must instil correct principles,
inculcate right doctrines, and breathe into
the soul of her offspring those pure senti-
ments which in time to come will be q
part Of themselves, and bless generations
yet unborn. Yes, to woman Is given the
blessed privilege Of aiding the sufferer in
all the various stages of his existence. She
smiles serenely at the christening, and
weep3 at the burial, while she soothes the
bereaved heart. This is her province and
duty. Yet how can she fulfill her mission
