PRESIDENT OF THE WORLDS FAIR, NOW
OPEN IN THE CRESCENT CITY.
For six months from December 1G, 1884,
the leading attraction as great sight and
landmark in the progress of civilization, is
the New Orleans Worlds Industrial and
Cotton Centennial Exposition. This is the
grandest exhibition of products and indus
tries in the long list which has followed that
of London, in 1851.
1t grew out of an idea which was far
less comprehensive in the beginning than
as now seen in the huge development
which surprises all visitors. Its projectors
thought of confining the exhibit to display
of the products of the South especially cot
ton, and of the various mechanical process
es through which this passes before sold
over the counters in the familiar forms of
muslin, calico, etc. AS soon as their plan
beset with applications for space and soon
found it advisable to enlarge the scope of
their plan. One building was projected,
but in May last a second was determined
upon, which lucky offer to loan a million
dollars, made by Congress, made at once
practicable. And so the good work went
on, until, by opening day, sixty acres, of the
237 acres appropriated for Exposition uses,
were covered with buildings, and thirty
seven acres more of it laid out in grounds
and stables as livestock department.
The Main Building covers thirty-three
acres: the Government Building, twelve,
and Horticultural Hall, three acres. Other
structures Of vast size and great interest are
the Art Gallery, the structure raised by the
Mexican Government, and building for
saw mills and wood working machinery.
The opening exercises were magnificent
and largely attended. President Arthur
started the machinery by electricity from
Washington, amid ceremonies which were
performed with popular rejoicings auspi-
cious of great success to the Exposition at
New Orleans.
Next to the United States, Mexico makes
the largest exhibit. The Republics of Cen
tral America are surprisingly we'll repre-
sented, and the interest of leading countries
in the other continents is most gratifying.
We print the features of the fine old gen
tlenan who is president of the Exposition.
He is ''the largest cotton planter in the
world" and has amassed large wealth by
the sagacity and assiduity with which ne
has applied himself to business. Mr.. Rich
ardson is resident of Louisiana, a most
useful citizen of that State, and now, hap
PLY, the leading man in noble enterprise
which in its dimensions and probable val
ue to the civilized world eclipses the per-
formances of the past.
EATING WITHOUT AN APPETITE.-lt is
wrong to eat without an appetite; for 1t
shows there is no gastric juice in the stom-
ach, and that nature does not need food,
and, not needing it, there being no fluid
to receive and act upon it, it would remain
there only to putrefy, the very thought OF
which should be sufficient to deter any man
from eating without an appetite for the re-
mainder of his life. If "tonic" is taken
to whet the appetite, it is mistaken
course; for its only result is to cause one to
eat more, when already an amount has
been eaten beyond what the gastric juice
supplied is able to prepare.
The object to be obtained is a larger sup
ply of gastric Juice, not a larger supply of
food, and whatever fails to accomplish that
essential object fails to have any efficiency
toward the cure of dyspeptic disease; and
as the formation of gastric juice is directly
proportioned to the wear and waste OF the
system, which it is to be the means of sup
plying, and this wear and waste can only
take place as the result Of exercise, the point
is reached again that the efficient remedy for
dyspepsia is work-out-door work-benetl-
cal and successful in direct proportion as 1t
is agreeable, interesting and profitable.
MAKE THE BEST OF THINGS.-We eX-
cuse man for occasional depressions, just
as we endure rainy day. But who could
endure three hundred and sixty-tive days
of cold drizzle? Yes, there are men who
are, without cessation, sombre and charged
with evil prognostication. We may be
born with melancholy temperament, but
there is no reason why we should yield to
it. Dependency is the most uncomfortable
feeling man can have. One good laugh
is bombshell exploded in the right place,
while spleen and discomfort is gun that
kicks over the man that shoots it off. Some
must have to get into heaven backward.
Let us stand off from our dependencies.
Listen to sweet notes and discords. In a
world where God has put exquisite tinge
upon the shell washed in the surf, and
planted paradise of bloom in the child's
cheek, let us leave it to the owl to hoot and
the toad to croak, and the tault-fnder to
complain. Take out door exercise and
avoid late suppers if you would have a
cheerful disposition. The habit of COM
plant finally drops into peevishness, and
neODle becOne WaSDiSh and unaDprOachable.
