It is announced that the Secret
Service assets Of the Southern Con.
federacy have been finally distrib-
uted, and that there will no longer
be any of those mysterious orders
wired among the brokers' Offices OF
the Southern cities. commissioning
them to buy Confederate bonds.
The amount due the Confederacy
by European bankers at its down.
fall is stated at $3.50. 900; and it
is explained that the occasional de.
mand for the bonds in late years
arose incidentally from = plan de.
vised by the late Judah P. Beuja-
min, to secure tho transfer of such
funds to the bona fde creditors who
had advanced their money to the
Coufsdcracy's accredited agents.
The fuLds are said to have been
fully distributed by paying Tor the
forthcoming bonds the value Of the
coupons mstured iu 1865 aud un-
paid.

THE EXPOSITION TO BE
REOPENED.

The Daily States. Of Wednesday
evening. says: At the citizens
meeting. last evening, the reports
Of the various canvassers showed
that the subscribers to the move
ment to reopen the Exposition had.
with great unanimity, confirmed
their subscriptions, and in many
instances increased their amounts.
Throughout the city the interest
in the movement has become
stronger and more general. and
there was expressed but one senti-
ment. which was most emphatic in
favor OF the reopening o. the Ex-
position.
Tue largely Increased subscrip-
tions, and the willingness Of other
subscribers to contribute their
money, Independent Of any ques-
ton OF the Government exhibit,
warranted the adoption Of the reso-
luton declaring that the EXPOSE
ton be continued, winch was unani.
mously adopted, thus definitely
settling the question which has
been agitating the people OF New
Orleans for the past month. In
that time much good work has
been done, the fruits of which will
bs reaped during the coming win
ter, when We believe the prosperity,
ga,ety aud business Of this city will
be unprecedented in its history.
Our people have gloriously vim
dicated themselves against the
charge of apathy aud Indifference
to the Exposition, und have demon
strated what they can do toward
promoting an enterprise which
they know has been of such great
advantage to New Orleans.
Let the good work thus auspici-
ously begun DO continued with
zeal aud industry, until the LIST OF
November. when the Exposition
will be reopeued in style Of mag
niicence. grandeur and perfection
fur SURPRISING its FIRST term, which
has just closed.

How 70 PUT AN Eco IN BOTTLE.
A writer in the Rural NeU Yorker
tells the young folks how they may
perform the magic feat of putting
an egg into a bottle. Like many
other things. it is easy enough
when you know how. THIS is the
way it is done: Soak q fresh egg
for several days in strong vinegar.
The acid in the vinegar will eat the
lime Of the shell, 80 that while the
egg looks the same, it will be soft
and capable of compression. Sc
lect n bottle with q neck a third
smaller than the egg. With a little
care you will have no t;Ouble in
pressing the latter into the bottle.
Fill the bottle half full of lime
water, and in few days you will
have bard-shelled egg in bottle
with a neck at least n third smaller
than the egg. OF course you pour
of the lime water as soon IA the
shell LaIdens. How the egg got
into the bottle will be copundrum
that few can answer.

NOT A SIN TO BE HAPPY.

DR.. Talmage has learned wisdom
while trying to teach the people.
He no longer takes a strsisht-laced
view of life and the requirements
of the young in their efforts to End
the sunny side of the path through
this vale of tears. For several
weeks the noted Brooklyn divine
has been preaching = series of ser
mons OIL amusaments. and in these
has given his congregation some
excellent advice. He frankly ad-
mits that he long tried 10 find harm
in the innocent amusements which
are found in every home aud church
circle. He tried to convince him
self that it was as harmful to dance
in the parlor to the music OF the
piano AS to 20 to the public ball
and that the theater was but ano-
Their court to the retreat OF Prince
Beolzebnh. But there was too
much human nature locked up in
his breast. and magnify the sins Of
these amusements AS he would, he
could not find it in Ills heart to
honestly condemn and place them
Ill the category Of influences attend.
ant upon his Satanic majesty. And
now. in his old age, DR.. Talmage
says he feels more like hoy than
ever; aud AS he looks upon the
honest enjoyment Of innocent pas
times 10y tho young. he finds more
to commend and less to condemn.
