New ORLEANS, DEC. 2, 1885,.

ANIW cNLEANo, LEI. Il, 1908,
After not having visited the Exposition
for aweek, went up yesterday and was
very much astoniShed to see the improve
ment that had taken place in SO short
time. The main building is being rap
idly filed with foreign exhibits. Guate-
mala, British Honduras and Venezuela
are now entirely complete, and Russia
and France will soon have all their space
in readiness. The government building
is much nearer completion, having but
very little vacant space. The Creole
collective exhibit is very fine, having a
great many handsome paintings, and ex-
qulslte specimens of woman's work, be-
sides many very curious as we'll as inter
esting relics. One could spend a day in
this department very pleasantly, and no

her have a wide celebrity. She had up
ward ofthree hundred paintings, and
their value is now roughly estimated at
$I,5oo,ooo.
The silver in collection is in weight
alone equal to the entire stock of any
store in America, with the possible ex-
ception of such manufacturing establish
ments as those OF Tiffany, Whiting and
.Gorham, One pair Of candelabras cost
$4,000. They are wonderful pieces of
the silversmith' S art.
The miscellaneous collection of porce-
lains, pottery, and rare articles of vertu
is estimated to be worth as much as the
collection Of paintings. In Oriental por-
celain Mrs. Morgan has secured some
pieces that are finer than anything in the
Walters collection at Baltimore. AS a
collection of oriental porcelain purely,
this is probably the finest collection in
this country. Mrs. Morgan'S collection
was more of general character, andin
this respect had no equal here. One
Chinese ''peachblow' vase about fifteen
inches high, was purchased by her at a
cost of SIS 900, and is said to be worth
the price.
A collection of etchings and engrav-
ings, including much that is rare and
valuable, is part of the intended sale.
The estimated value is $4,000.
Mrs. Morgan'S diamonds and jeweIry
are not included in the sale. She had
million dollars worth Of jewelry and pre-
ciouS stones. -Four of her diamonds cost
$4,000 each. The catalogues will be
costly, with at least twenty-five repre-
sensations of such paintings as can be
reproduced with the best effect. The
collection will be placed on exhibition at
the American Art Associations rooms
in the middle of February. The sale
will be by auction at Chickering Hall
on the dates previously mentioned.

doubt very proftably. As you enter the
Woman's Department Of Louisiana, you
are first attracted by large glass case
filled with beautiful dolls, which have.
been contributed by different actresses,
and are dressed to represent them IN their
favorite character at the close ofthe EX-
position they are to beraffled for the ben
eft ofthe asylums in the city, Lolita,
with her usual generosity and goodness
of heart, sent seventy-hve dollars worth
of toys to be given to the orphans Of the
city. After leaving Louisiana, | went
over to Illinois to see how they were get
ting on, and was much pleased to find that
they had everything in order. Among
their exhibit is a miniature pioneers
farm. 1t is perfect in every detail. From
there I went to Arkansas, whose exhibit
has improved wonderfully since last
saw it. In the center of the space is a
large pagoda tastefully ornamented with
the different grains ofthe state the CEN
ter is filled up with golden pumpkins,
potatoes, turnip s and other products of
the soil. Ina glass case near by Gener-
al McRea pointed out to me some very
fine specimens Of pearls found in the Red
river. Arkansas has very fine exhibit
of minerals, but it needs one more added
to its list before it will be complete; that
is some of the crystals and diamonds of
Hot Springs. Nearly every one visiting
the space asks to see them, and are quite
disappointed when they find there are
none. don't think it will be long, how
ever, before they will have fine collec-
ton, as the General left last evening for
a trip through that section of the country
and will no doubt bring back with him
many fine specimens.
A young lady of our city has cornet
which formerly belonged to the Hot
Springs Band, and is now covered with
a sediment from the Springs that is over
an inch in thickness. She has very kind
! ly offered to lend it to the Arkansas ex-
hibit, as it is quite curiosity. The at
tendance at the exposition is not as large
as it might be, but it is daily on the in
crease. Grand preparations are being
made on the little lake on the grounds for
very fine Pyrotechnic display repre-

this month after that it will be repeated
every night during the Exposition. In

Topographic Accuracy.

Painstaking people, who know
next to nothing Of printing, find
special delight in searching out
topographic errors in newspapers,
periodicals and books, the detection
Of blunder, in their own estlma-
ton, putting premium on individ-
ual MISUNDERSTANDING privi-
lege of dsiparaging printers. Men Of
intelligence, who write well but not
legibly,never tire of pointing out mis-
takes of printers, and the oversights
of proof readers. These seif-con-
stitutcd censors of Typography may
find food for wholesome reflection
IN the fact that just about one hun
dred years ago number of profess
ors in the Edinburgh University un-
dertook the publication of book
which should be perfect specimen
of topographic accuracy. Every
conceivable precaution was taken to
prevent errors of the types. Six
experienced proof readers were en-
ployed, who devoted hours to the
reading of each page. After their
careful task Was completed, each
page was posted in the hall of the
university, with a notice that ESQ
would be paid to any person who
should succeed in discovering an
error. Every page remained thus
publicly exposed for two weeks
before being returned to the print
ing Office. The projectors of the
work felt confident that the object
so diligently striven for had been
attained. Great was the discom-
future of the learned men &hen, on
the work being issued, several errors
were found, one occurring in the
first line Of the first page.

WASHINGTON LETTER
(From Our Regular Coirespoadcnt)

The President, secretaries Man
ming, Lamar, and Postmaster Gen
eral Villas, left the city on Saturday
afternoon to spend Sunday at the
Club House of the Woodmont Rod
and Gun Club. The distinguished
party spent the Sabbath very quietly
in wild sylvan retreat of 1000
acres owned by the club, and re-
turned much refreshed on Monday.
The president has been working
too many hours. He has been sit
ting up too late at night in order to
dispose of the vast number of ap-
plications for office that await his
attention. He is not exhausted, but
very tired. Last week he saw WIS.,
itors only on three days, Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, and ex-
perienced considerable relief from
the pressure that had been put upon
him.
The appointment of Mr.. Steven
son, of Illinois, First Assistant Post
master General, is one of the most
fortunate selections that the present
adminintration has male. He has
attacked the large arrears of busi-
ness with such energy that in the
short space of a week over two
thousand new appointments have
been made. To dispatch such a
bulk of details with such general
approval, and absence of ground for
cavil indicates executive ability of a
high order. The position OF First
Assistant Postmaster General has
become, owing to the immense
growth of the service, one of the
most important under the Govern
ment, and it is a pleasure to know
that it is not filled by a Hatton or a
Tyner, but in way to reflect
credit on the country, and the Dem
ocrat'c party.
Postmaster General Villas met
Mr.. Stevenson at the Chicago Con-
vention. Each was strongly i'm.
pressed in favor of the other, and
they have been warm friends ever
since. Mr.. Stevenson represented
his district in the Forty-fourth and
Forty-sixth Congresses. lie has
since been practicing law in Bloom

A l'hS sican's Evidence.

People, as a general thing, en-
dorse a medicine according to the
effect produced upon individuals,
but a remedy to be of universal
good, must cure in all similar in
stances; hence, the evidence of a
physician is of paramount import
ance in summing up the salutary
and curative advantages of rem
edy when largely used by the peo-
pie. In this respect, Mansfield's
Magic Arnica Liniment is support
ed by an astonishing array of evil
dence, and among others, DIR. T.
Harbors, of Magenta, Ark, says:
"In almost every house fnd your
preparations, especially the Magic
Arnica Liniment.' | have noticed
its effects in cases of rheumatism and
neural gia, and it acts in truly mag
ical way, giving almost instantane-
Gus relief"

ington, Ill. He is rty-eight years
of age, vigorous and able. Many
public men have been made his
friends by his genial aud attractive
disposition as well as by his solid
worth.
The ex-First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Mr.. Malcolm Hay has
gone to Colorado in hope that his
feeble form will be strengthened by
the climate. It-S well known that
after he was appointed four months
ago, he went south for the benefit
of his health. When he returned
here to undertake his official duties
the disbursing clerk handed him his
salary for two months. Mr.. Hay
declined to receive the money, say
ing he had not earned it, and by his
direction the amount of his salary
for these two months of absence
from his desk was covered into the
Treasury.
Secretary Whitney's idea of re-
form is to reform. He does not
rest content with one good deed
well done. He recently brought
from New York an expert account
snt, who has devised a new method
of ook-keeping for bureaux Of the
Navy Department. Hereafter each
item of the naval appropriation will
have its seperate account and by
this means the balance remaining
to each specific appropriation can
be seen at "A glance. The displaced
system is no system at all, but an
unwieldy accumulation of different
methods to which each change of
regime has added its quota of con-
fusion.
Secretary Whitney is giving the
enemies of good government a great
deal of annoyance. He refuses to
accept without question the worth
less ship contracts of his Republi-
can predecessors. When he wishes
to 60 to sea on the raging Potomac
he hires his boat, and does not use
a Government ship. He has abro-
gated the rule forbidding officers to
allow their wives to follow them to
distant ports. His reason for abro-
eating this rule was, in substance,
that the officers were not able to
prevent their wives from doing
pretty much as they pleased.
1t is expected that Democratic
officers for the District Government
will very soon be appointed, but it
is not probable that the new ap-
pointees will be residents of the
District OF Columbia.
A gentleman recently ventured
to give the President some advice
as to the kind of a man he should
appoint to a certain district Office.
Mr.. Cleveland said: 81 think ]
know what is needed. My own ex-
perience will be guide to me. A.
the chef executive of h city gov
ernment ! gained the approval of
men of both political parties, and
| acquired knowledge of wha.
