The New Orleans Exposition.

The New Orleans Exposition seems to
have been born prematurely. Its project
ors failed to foresee its natural time of ges-
tation. If they had postponed it year
they would have been wiser. Inasmuch as
itwould be essentially q winter exhibition
in the climate in which it was to be held,
it needed to be ready promptly at the time
advertised but il has been much more de-
layed than was the Centennial Exposition in
its full completion. That was very laggard
and the hot summer came upon ii before il
was really ready in all its parts so that
the few months Of the autumn were those
only which were available for visitors who
desired to see al its wonders in n comfort
able temperature; and then the crowd vas
such as to take away much from the salts
faction Of visitors.
The New Orleans Exposition does not
seem to be troubled as vet by the numbers
of those who flock to il and the reports
Of its incompeteness are not likely to cause
rush to it. This is the season at which the
crowd should be the greatest. BY early
summer the heat will he too great. and the
appointed time for closing it will have
come. Its managers have not learned u
sufficient lesson from the troubles attend
ing the filing mp Of the Centennial show +.
else they would have postponed their open
ing until next winter.
There is something now said Of shutting
the exposition mp over next summer and
re-opening it in the autumn. Ii will be
wisely done If the exhibitors can he per-
suaded to the scheme, The possibility Of
such postponement i2 likely TO still
further retard the present fow OF visitors.
The great states Of the North seem to
have looked upon the show with languid
interest neither New York nor Pennsylya.
mia have done much towards providing the
exhibits Of their state. The ten thousand
dollars which Pennsylvania now proposes
to expend is apparently an inadequate
provision for the work: and if the exposition
is not to he continued beyond the
spring, the time is too short to enablc the
state TO make 4 creditahle showing with

thing should be understood definitely about
the duration Of the exposition before th,
state makes its appropriation for its repre-

Gen. Beaver is beginning to earn the rep
ntation OF the ready letter writer. lie
manifests a habit that has often proved
fatal to abler public men, The best advice
he ever got was the memorable message Of
Quay: " Dear Beaver, don't talk. He
has some reputation as an orator. His
tongue and his pen may yet get him into
trouble.
1t seems that when the Independents or
anti-Camerontes, at Harrisburg, wanted to
put him up as their candidate for senator.
one Of them wrote 30 him and received an
answer which was construed toindicatc his
entire willingness TO stand and his gratiiica-
tion over any support lie might receive.
Then there was a visit paid to him
BY some mysterious pilgrim Of the other
wing of the party. and the mission re-
suited in another letter from Beaver per-
emptorily declining to let his name he used
against Camerons. This was intended and
WAS used TO Offset the first. Now, since the
election is over, Beaver writes to one Of his
supporters saying that he heard with
pleasure the action of my friends in the
caucus. 1t was perhaps, just rs well to
have division in the vote, and the result
may tend to harmony hereafter"
1t looks rs though Beaver was trying 10
carry water on both shoulders. 1t is dan
gefous exercise The Stalwarts have no
use for him unless he is Of them and with
them, snd viii do their bidding. II he
. hears with pleasure OF the action Of his
friends in opposition 10 Cameron he may
be assured that he viii he dropped from the
Cameron slate. They have silent man in
reserve, whose chief gift is his power to
hold his tongue, who has served them in
the past and OF whom they would he glad
TO swap Beaver if an opportunity opens.

All Quiet Along the Lines.

The Democracy of Pennsylvania win no
doubt I've glad of the reinsurance furnished
by the proceedings of their state committee
that there are no factions in the party in
this state An unusual degree of harmony
prevailed at the very numerous gathering
and its conclusions were reached with
almost entire unanimity.
One or two jealous gentlemen insisted
that there are two factions in the party
in Pennsylvania, but the rest Of the COM
mittee did not seem to have heard of
them.
George Elliot tells of an ambitious
rooster who thought the sun rose on pur-
pose to hear him crow.

II is somewhat remarkable that any body
Of intelligent women would seriously enter
upon the discussion and dcnunciation of
those who affirm that woman was an after
thought in creation, that her sex is a msfor-
ture, that marriage is n condition of subord-
nation and maternity curse. Such propo-
sItions must fall Of their own weight Yet
we find the National Womeu's suffrage as
sociation lashing itself into fury over these
same alleged charges against the fair. Those
who would make them deserve ali the rigors
Of lynch law. De Quincy once said " Man
owes half his happiness and all his pleasures
to woman's companionship, and the vast
majority OF mankind are inclined to believe
that he was tuning on the right key when he
said it.

accompany the President from

occasion of the first anniversary of
the battle at that place. At the ap-
pointed time | went to the White
House, where l found the President S

the station; but he was not ready.

as the convict in one of our Illinois

you needn't be in such a hurry to
get ahead; there avont be any fin

1t has been said, l believe, that
Lincoln wrote in the car en- route to
Gettysburg the celebrated speech
which he delivered upon that his
toric battle-ground. l am quite sure
that is an error. l have no recol-
lection of seeing him writing or even
reading his speech during the jour
ney. In fact there was hardly any
opportunity for him to do so.
In April, 1865, l was sent with the
Government excursion from Wash

the ceremony of raising over Fort
Sumter the flag that had been low

he gave me "a detailed account of the
awful tragedy which had been en-
acted in the National capital during
our absence. He said that he had
never felt SO sensible of his deer
affection for Lincoln as he did dur.
ing their final interview. At last
they could see the end of bloody
fratricidal war. Peace was dawnine
upon their beloved country. Wei
done, good and faithful servants

they exchanged congratulations
Lincoln, from his greater height
dropped his long arm upon Stan

brace terminated their rejoicing:

Paying Debts.

Covington, Ga, Star.
A little money will sometimes go a
great way. AS an illustration Of this
fact is the following, founded upon an
incident which is said to have really oc-
cnrred.
A owed So to B.
B owed $50 to c..
C owed SIS 70 D.
D owed $50 to E.
E owed $19 so to F.
owed $40 to A.
All of them were seated at the same
table.
A having So note, handed it to B, re-
marking that it paid So of the SIS he
owed B.
B passed the note to C with the re-
mark that it paid So of the $50 which he
owed.
C passed it to D, and paid with it S. of
the $15 he owed D.
D handed it to E in part payment of
the $50 owed him.
E gave it to F to apply on account Of
the $12 80 due him.
F passed it back to y saying: This
pays half the amount | owe you.
A again passed it to B, saying: now
owe you only S..
B passed it again to C, with the re-
mark, this reduces my Indebtedness to
you to $40.
c again paid it to D, reducing his in
debtedness to So.
D paid it to E, saying: now owe you
SEQ.
E handed it again to F. saying: This
reduces my indebtedness to you to 81 so.
Again handed the note to \, saying:
Now don't owe you anything.

ness.
B handed it to C, reducing his indebt-
edness to s..
G. cancelled the balance of his debt 10
