Our readers will peruse with interest

from the New Orleans Plcayune OF the
nth instant.
AT noon Yesterday the association of
Texas teachers held an informal meet
ing in Government building, at the
Texas state headquarters. Miss Nam
ME Breeding, of Houston, vice-president
OF the association, presided, and, at the
request OF the president, Professor Nc
cure, OF Palestine, conveyed to
State Commissioner Hon. j. Il.
Elliott the pride and admiration
felt by the members of the association
for the magnificent display made of the
resources, wealth and Industries of
Texas, and their recognition of the nbil-
Ivy displayed by the commissioner aud
his able corps of assistants in collecting
and arranging the state exhibit.
Col. Elliott was much moved by this
expression of appreciation on the part OF
such an intelligent and discriminating
body OF his fellOw-citiZens, and he as.
sured them that no exertion would
be spared to show off the Lone Star
state as the peor of any OF her
sisters in tho grand national galaxy, in
all that pertains TO the wealth OF the
soil ana the intelligence and industry
OF the people. He said that although
Texas had been granted more space
than any other state, tho contributions
OF products OF all kinds had been so
enormous thatingenuily had been taxed
to get them properly displayed, and for
this reason the pacing OF the exhibition
was not yet complete, hut he thought
