Women at the worlds Exposition.
Extract from sermon preached by Rev.
A. D. MAYO at New Orleans on March l, 1885
upon the theme Education and the EXPOSE
tion.rl
III am rightly informed, the New Orleans
Exposition has invited the cooperation of
women as never before. OF course womsn's
work can not be shown in one section of this
great encampment OF industry. Woman's
work is. first and foremost. the men thst
made this Exposition: the homes in which
they grew up; the society which shapes
them; the subtle and irresistible influences
which they throw around the noble speci-
mems of our sex True. there is an ignOble
womanhood that glor:es in its shame, its sell
fishness, its craft, its poor schemes. forgetting
its own way with man by playing on the
lower register OF his nature. This Exposi.
ton has no word for the woman who de.
cries universal education, who only signs for
money and ease and social fame, caring moth.
ing for the means by which it is won, con-
temptuous or hateful to all who minister to
her glory. 1t calls the noblest, most prsc-
teal, cultivated, consecrated women to New
Orleans TO proclaim to their sisters every
where the privilege and duty of women in
the new republic 1 speak not now of any
extreme theory OF civic equality Of woman
and man. As man, arn happy to refer
that question 70 the women of the
United States. What the womanhood-

spectacle. consecrated womanhood-of our
country finally declares essential for the su-
preme functions of the motherhood and the
training of the race through its most impress
sible years, for the fsshioning of American
society, for the divine eide of the Caurch,
for the publication of the body and the exal-
tation OF the soul, / am confident we shall
finally give her q great deal more eagerly
than we now spend our bottom dollar to buy
her Worth's new gown for the Mardi Gras
ball. So wait the command, not OF the few
who believe they voice the good time com-

A Prospective Calico Boom.

Henry M. Stanley, the explorer, has
been calculating what the effect upor
the calico trade would be if the people
of the. Congo, who are now clothed
chiefly in sunshine, can be induced te
wear American and English print. HI
says that if every inhabitant of the
Congo basin should have one Sunday
dress every year more than 1000, 0W
yards of cotton cloth or calico would bt
required; If two Sunday and four every
day dresses were used the enormous to
tai of $500, 600, 0O0 yards, of the APP
proximate value of $50, 100000. would
be required. He estimated that trade
of $3.50, 100000 annually could be Sc
cured, and said that it was the easies
matter in the world to induce Africans
to wear cotton, when the basin of the
Congo would be more profitable tt
England than India,

A Famous Naturalist.

The fame of Seth Green as master
of the rod and gun, and as an enthusi-
astic, practical pisciculturist, is world
wide. He is q keen observer of ma
ture in all her moods, but is especially
noted for his intimate acquaintance
with fishes and birds, and their habits,
and the profound knowledge he pos
sesses of the vegetable and animal life
upon which they feed. Mr.. Green is
gifted with remarkable conversational
powers, is clear and luminous in
statement, and no one can listen to
him without rare entertainment and
instruction. He is untiring- in his re-
searches after knowledge, and has
marvellous aptitude for combining and
controlling the minor and Insignificant
forces of nature, SO that they will work
together for the advantage of man.
His labors extend far beyond the nero
cultivation of fish. Among his melon
vines Mr.. Green has laid boards. Lift
ing up these boards multitudes of toads
were found concealed there by day.
At night they come out and feed upon
the insects that infest the melon vines.
1t was simple device, and one that

harnessed to his scheme of gardening,
and worked faithfully and well. There
is hint in this to other growers of
melons. Mr.. Green is a born expert
menter, and is not slow to get at the
bottom facts in the matters that at
tract his attention. He is not disposed
to adopt the speculations or conclu-t
sions of others, except SO far as they
are based upon proven conditions.
He has reduced to practical use and
given to the world the results of long
years of study and observation, and
the world is better thereby. He is in
the full vigor of Industrious life, and
will yet accomplish much more in the
field of his special pursuits.-An,erIcan

Ohio when he was inaugurated presi.
dent. 1t is safe to say he was poor,
for he had been lately doing the druid
gerry of the clerk of the courts at Gin
cinnati President Tyler supplied
much of the money which ran the
white house out of his own pocket,
and congress would not pay the salary
of his private secretary. He, like Van
Buren,, was. not satisfied to leave
politics at the close of his term, and
he died in 1862, while serving as a
member of the confederate congress.
Moderately wealthy while here at
Washington, he left little to his chill
dren, and one of his sons is now a
clerk in the treasury department. at
Washington.
Zach Taylor was by no means
wealthy when he died in the white
house. James X. Polk left big house
and enough to keep his widow, and
Willard Fillmore, who started in life
as a wool carder, died ten years ago,
with enough of an estate in Buffalo to
create a lawsuit over the sanity of his
second wife. He took, like Grant,
foreign tour at the end of his term,
and was presidential candidate in
1856 as leader of the know nothings.
James Buchanan did not leave such
an estate as enabled Harriet Lane to
keep Wheatlands, and within the past
year it has been advertised for sale.
Buchanan spent all his salary as presi-
dent while in Washington, and what
he had left after paying his white
house expenses he gave in charity. He
did not attempt to enter politics again,
and he died an unappreciated and
disappointed man.
Abraham Lincoln died poor, and it
is due to congress that his family was
provided for. Andrew johnson went
back to his house at Greenville, Tenn,
where he had started in life as tailor,
but he continued to take part in poll
tics until his death in 1875. Just be-
fore his death he had been elected
again as United States senator, and he
took his seat on the 9Th of March,
1875, at the special session convened
by Gen. Grant. He died by a stroke =,
of paralysis, and left no fortune be-
hind.
Of the other presidents Grants
are agitating the country
to-day, and Garfield s family is wealthy
only through the voluntary subscrip-
tions of the people. Truly, as Sidney
Smith used to say, "There is nothing
so expensive as glory"

About Postal Notes.

The yellow postal note, by an order
about to be issued by the postmaster
general, or possibly already issued, will
soon be thing of the past. They have
been source of great annoyance and
trouble. The paper on which they
were printed was not safety paper, but
a sort of waterproof material, from
which CASTLE soap and water would re,
move the writing ink. This permitted
shrewd counterfeiters to "raise" them,
which was done to some extent in the
west. The discovery of several cases
created much excitement last month,
probably more than the facts warrant.

gives many interesting particulars
concerning the number of Italians
living in foreign countries at the end
of 1881. At the head of the list stands
France, which. with Algeria and the
colonies, contains 274.S25, of whom
21,577 are in Paris, 33, 693 in Algeria,
and 57,S6l in Marselles. The Argen-
tine Republic, or La Plata, has 254,-
1888. 1895 of whom live in Buenos
Ayres. Strange to say, the United
States of America has in its immense
population only 10000 of whom 90
2S6 are found in New York. The
number in Brazil is S2,196, of whom
1850 fall to San Paolo. In Austria
and Hungary there are 1880. Of

Prior to shining forth resplendent

ment. He becomes blind for few
days, refuse food, and appears to be I'M

all is ready he begins at the lips to ext
tricate himself from the, old dress,
rubbing against whatever may be in
his way. The first part of the process
is tedious, but as he progresses he
works more rapidly; when he reaches
the ribs they assist the operation, until
finally the old skin is shed entire.

of the most conservative in the matter OF is

portation are scrutnized with such care that
the average would-be dead-head has long ago
put this corporation on his black list. Such
being the general character which the road
has, IL is worthy of note that one OF the chief
subjects of criticism which the government
directors dwell upon is the pass leak In
their report TO the president they say: "a
statement of the passes issued during the
year last past. being only trip passes and not
including 'annuals,' shows that the lowest of
one weeks issue was $l3,773.18 and the high

amount could be ascertained only by an ex-
animation which it would be impraoticable at
this time to make.
After referring poiutedy to the fact that
the transportation given in free "trip" passes
amounts to one-thirtieth of the entire grosa
income, the directors say 1t has "ony the sim
