NOW and Them writes from Odessa
"The cold weather has been holding BUSH es
down dat.... We could not attend the Ne1
Orleans exhibition but We sent several goo
hands. ... Mr.. ]. c. Cobb and lady, W. T

last Tuesday morning from the Worlds Fsi
at New Orleans. They report a plessar
trip and gave q glowing description of til
sights and wonders there to be seen ..Ther

Mr.. Byron Bliss. of Boulder, COL, q broth
er-in-law of Mr.. Robt. Taylor, Of this cit,
and we'll known as a formsr resident OF tn
county, returned, last Monday, from II
New Orleans exposition. As Mr.. Bliss Is
northern man and a republican we were pa
~ticularly desirou. to hear his impressions
the exposition and his views upon southel
: people and southern politics. As we do a
: eat republicans In the I%utelligencer ofhc
: either because we love them or hate ther
: Mr. Bliss kindly came to the office and sui
: mitted to be interviewed. Mr.. Bliss was
q New Orleans eleven days. All but the fr
Q day the weather was delightful the thermol

Y morning to Is In the middle of the day-neit
II or cold nor hot. He attended the expositi
8 days, and gave two days to q survey OF t
battlefield, near the city, and Of the CT
itself. h was impressed with the fact Il
the southern men whom he met were par
10 ulsrly desirousto make northern visitors Il
comfortable aud at home and see as much
they possibly could. The attendance wh
II Mr.. Bliss was there was fair but not We
large, and he found this much to his adva
is age, as 1t enabled him to secure the attenti
q OF the various commissioners, and rece
IS elaborate explanations Of everything that
10 terested him. He says that 80 far as exhib
Dr. are concerned the exhibition Is q grand 8,
70 cess. There Is moro there to be seen thai
* man can possibly see In 9 stay of rease
e, able duration, and much more than any n
can see, critically, even liz al extended ST
t. The United States display Is magnificent, {
Q. the state displays very full, some Of tn
a "splsndld.n Foreign displays are said
on to be equal to those at the centennial, b
as Mr.. Bliss says, the displays OF american p
K ducts, American manufactures and arts,
'th much better, and are the grandest that h
r. sver been assembled. For instance, cot
Is manipulated from the gin till 1t passes
lat thread, domestic, calicoes, stockings, and
cir fact, every conceivable thing that cottor
,ty used for, aud so Of ali other things.
cir Bliss says the Missouri display eo,nps
wp fovorablywith any other. The territories
proportion to their wealth and developm'
- have the best displays, because they are
ell, ding for immigration. Many Of the eah
ar tions are so deliberately and extensively
ect pared that they will In all probability be {
Ok. tinued permanently. MIR. Bliss says ne ne
rly was 20 well repaid for q trip in his life;
ere thst no one going to the exposition vii
vas dlsagrseably disappointed. He says Their
ct NO trouble about living cheaply, and II
the well at the same time, while there; that p
i'd. lodging and good board can be proc 4red
ore a dollar q day. Mr. Bliss was agresably
les. prised to ind the good feeling existing an
