Of visit to the exposition to see their
most beautiful exhibit, which is also
an honor to the taste and skill Of AM
erican workmen.
Mard Gras week brought great
crowds to the city, who took the OPP
portuniiy OF visiting both carnival and
exposition.
The three carnival parades occu-
pied two nights and a day, during
which Canal and other streets through
Which they passed were densely
packed with hundred thousand Wis
itors, Some say two To three hunli ed
thousand, but that could not be posi-.
ble. The parade of the "Mystic
krewe" or knights of Proteus" rep
resented III l8 pieces of "foats," the
Myths and worships of China, Rex ap-
peared AS Charles the 7th Of France,
representing i'll his day parade various
scenes and characters i. Scott Ivan
hoe, and tie third and last parade,
that Of the knights Of Momus," rep
resented many beautiful legends and
fairy tales, all being very fine and at
tractise. II is said that this carnival
WAS prepared at an expense of one
hundred thUus4nd dollars.
In concluding this letter allow me
to say. that reports to the contrary,
visitors may come here in the full as
suranee that they will not be disap-
pointed. The Exposition is great be-
yoDd any like Fair ever held, and is
worth double to anyone the cost of
seeing it. One suggestion to visitors

Whisky and Har:l Times.
From tho New York Sun.

From tho New York Sun.
Talking to the head of one of the
largest firms of liquor dealers of the
country the writer was comforted by
the following statement:
1--WE deal in everything, from the
cheapest beer to the most expensive
kind of red wines, sherry, cordials and
champagnes. The general vine trade
is not worth speaking of, so poor it is.
The champagne trade shows q decrease
OF 30 per cent. as compared with two
years ago. Even the beer taade is de-
creasing. The masses have not enough
money for the scent schooners con-
sumed at the bar. Those who can not
IL without beer buy it BY the jug for
their meals, and no more. The only arti-
Gle that shows an increase of consump.
ton Is whisky. The low as we'll as the
high grades of it are in sharp demand,
although there has already been q good
advance in prices. To my mind this il
the best proof that people who formerly
drank wine drink whisky now, and that
working.men who in times of prosperity
drink beer with their families tipple now
bad whisky all by themselves. Thus, as
far as the liquor trade is concerned,
there is not the slightest indication of
Improvement, and this trade is pretty
good barometer of the general condition
OF the country. Hotels, bar-rooms and
restaurants are all running down. and
the cellars of the rich are fast being de-
pleted. Nobody seems to be disposed 10
buy anything. and those who used to
buy by the cask hwy now by the gallon"

In response to an inquiry Is to what
are the boundaries of the great grazing
country of the West. and what are its
possibilities. the Denver Live Stock Rec
ord says: 1.-THE plains country-that
susceptible of growing cattle-embraces
q district of 5000 miles in length from
north to south, and 1905 miles wide
from east to west, and has grazing
capacity sufficient to maintain 20, OOO,-
600 of horned cattle and twice as many
more of horses and sheep. To be more
explicit, we will say the country where
cattle grow and thrive on tho open
plain at all seasons of the year COM
mences at the Gulf If Mexico in the
south and extends far into the British
Possessions in the north; commences
OF the westernmost border of Kansas
in the east and extends to the Sierra

Elopsd with . Farm Hand.

A somewhat new thing in the elope-
ment line is reported from Darlington,
Montgomery county, Ind. A fellow
from Virginia, known as Major Tomlin-
son, left with the wife Of Harvey shau-
YER, a prosperous young farmer living
five miles north of that place. Mr..
Shaver and wife were thought to be
living happily, with three beautiful
little children. Mr.. Shauver's suspi-
cions were aroused by one of the little
fellows telling him that the major, who
was farm hand, kissed ma and ma
kissed major" Mr.. Shaver took his
wife to task for such action. She did
not deny it, and also stated that she
would kiss him just when she pleased.
Mr.. Shaver chastised her for her con-
duct, and paid the major off, telling him
that he would give him until Wednes-
day to leave. This seemed to raise the
ire OF Mrs. Shaver, and she quickly
gave her husband to understand that
she would go with the discharged man.
Mr.. Shaver knelt in prayer, and pray
ed long and fervently that such thought
should not be entertained by his wife,
but his prayers would not soften OF
change her heart. Mr.. Shaver gave
her all her belongings, and the baby,
beautiful boy two years old; he help
ed her into the sleigh, tucked the wraps
close around her, and with tears al
most streaming from his eyes, kissed
her and the child good-by, telling her
that he hoped and prayed she would be
satisfied with her il-judged undertak-
ing. The couple stated that they were
going to Oregon.
