by dark dismal weather, has at last assumed
her true hsbiliments CT bright sunshine,
clear blue SKY and balmy breezss. The
people can now visit the exposition with
satisfaction and delight, and they are going
by the tens of thousands. The Worlds
wonderful exposition is now out in fGll
oloom and a beautiful flower il is. The
worlds products from Russia's icy plains
to Scotland's braeis and burns, and from
Names forests of hsmlock and fir to
Florida's golden fruits and flowers, are here
skillfully and artistically arranged TO please
the eye and interest the mind. I can now
adYise everybody to come and see the expo
sition, for it is here in full costume with its
Sunday clothes on waiting to be looked at
and admired. All classes OF people from
ladies' of the most refined, esthetic tastes to
the utilitsrian, practical gentlemen who
want TO see something useful, valu-
able and instructive can be fully gratfsi
by 3 visit to the exposition. To-day
the Worlds Exposition Press Association
adopted series OF resolutions expressive
OF It's views and sppreci alton OF this expo
sition which were in the highest degree com.
plimentary, giving an nnequiYocal opinion
that, in al respects except, perhaps, the
State exhibit, it was superior TO any show of
the kind ever made before in this or any
other country. During the discussion of
this SUBJECT IL was stated by asleeding mem
Der Of the press from Philadelphia that had
attended every Worlds Fair-the one in
London, the one in Paris and the one in
phia-and that he could state pos
itively that this is ahead of all Others in size
of hrIff nd ~ ~
its, as well beauty and magnifcence Of dis
play. This is worth more than the opinions
OF thousand men who never saw any other
exposition than this. Figures show that
there are twice as many exhibitors here as
there were in Philadelphia, and twice as
many articles are exhibited. Every member
of the press in this meeting agreed that the
display in the GeYernment building was far
ahead of any exhibit ever made at Worlds
Expedition. So l have a full license TO
praise this exhibition, at least to g moderate
extent.
THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS.
The people of this city are more polite
and attentive to strangers than any have
seen elsewhere. You may stop the busiest
man in New Orleans on the street, and ask
for information with g certainty that you
will receive a polite answer. l have often
seen men turn their course and 20 with
stranger to show him to the place he wished
to find. Ladies are never allowed to stand
IN street car, and l saw 8 New Orleans
| young man give his seat TO an elderly gen
| teDlan. The better classes seem determined
that strangers shall not be skinned by the
shsrpers, if they can prevent it.
Beard is not dear here by any means, and
there is still plenty OF room in good private
| boarding houses where strangers will be
well taken. care of at nominal rates. Some
first class restaurants are furnishing regular
meals sfor fifty cents, and at some of the
markets cold meal will be given for twenty
| cents and hot one for thirty. Lodging is
all the way from twenty-five cents to so
day. You can can go anywhere in the city
for five cents, and the means Of reaching
the exposition are ample so far. Steamboats,
are running to the exposition hourly, and
charge only fifteen cents the round trip.
THE LIVE STOCK EXHIBITION.
This is getting to be very fne display.
The horse exhibit is exceptionally good.
Mr.. Durham, OF Illinois, has lot Of Per-
| ohsron horses that attract much attention.
One OF them weighs 2, 160 pounds. They are
only suitable for heavy service. For pulling
heavy loads they are ahead of all other
horses. This gentleman has 1000 Of these
| horses st his home and is the largest i'm
| porter ia this country. There are some fne
specimens OF cattle, sheep and hogs and
many more are on the way. The show will
begin on the Goth of this month, which will
| greatly interest those who are fond OF this
kind Of busin ess.
INDIAEAs EXHIBIT.
| This is daily growing better, still there is
| room for more specimens of Indisns's pro-
| d1Cts. Colonel Sigerson is still adding 20
! his exhibit. He now has about coo speci-
/ mems OF farm and garden products, mostly
raised by himself. The specimens OF work
| are the best have seen from any Of the
States.
BATTLE or SEDAN.
