The Cotton Centennial and Worlds
Exposition.

only OF modern times but OF an
age, has been in progress for ST
: weeks in New Orleans. That it i
all we claim for it has been full,
attested by the ablest and most en-
lightened Judgment of those of GU
own and foreign countries. .Origi
nalIy designed as its name express
ed, te celebrate that most importan
event j. e. the shipment of some ter
or a dozen bales of cotton from tbi,
country to England in l774, it wa:
finally agreed to make it interna.
tional in its scope, hence the add
ton to its name of Worlds Exposi.
ton. If time and space permitted
it would be very interesting to take
retrospective view of the past cen.
fury, to that period of our colonial
history when a few bales of cotton,
then but in its infancy here, was
shipped to the mother country for
manufacture, and it was with fear
and trembling by those making the
venture, lest so large a shipment
should glut the markets of the
world, for in England it was doubt
ed if so much cotton could be pro.
cured in America. 1t could not be
foreseen then that the article ship,
ped was destined as it has done to
revolutionize and regulate the COM
merce of the world. 1t has not one
by its universal use become a reeu-
lator of commerce but a civilizer
and a Chief factor in the Worlds
industry. Such was the event, then
in embryo, that this wonderful ex-
hibition originally intended to cele-
brate.
But we can't dwell longer at pre-
sent on this most interesting theme,
our present object being simply to
notice some of the many wonders
Of the Exposition as finally inaur-
The first thing of great
Wonder and Importance is the ex-
ent and magnificence of the build

ion purposes the immense space of

proves to the world what energy
properly directed, can accomplish
when, as in our case, it is fosteret

marks in this issue but revert to the

How TO WRITE PoETRY.-First
get a good subject, such as Spring,
Which, by the way, is the very best
subject. Since rejecting, we would
suggest that if rom any cause you
should not be able to write up
Spring in the usual old rural way
do not take any subject at all, sim
ply take pen and paper and blaze
aloose. Make it rhyme every time
you can. If you don't know any
words thet will suit, just put in any
kind of a word that will sound "mu-
STEAL" whether there is any sense
to it or not. You can write on both
sides of the paper-the Editor don't
care, as he is sure not to have it
printed. Write it neatly, as the
Editor is Grand on neatness, and
besides when the manuscript is fin
ished, its destination is that neat
and cozy little bed commonly call
ed the waste basket, which con-
tains nothing bnt the choicest pro-
auctions of poetry, compositions on
The over-production of oat patches,
how to treat sick lambs, extracts
from cook books, and songs copied
from the hymn books and modern
zed by a new signature. Remem-
Der that most all poems sent to
newspapers are too short. Write a
ong one while You are at it. Pre-
7lons to shipping it, read 1t over
'arefully--to an Egyptian mummy,
II to some being that wants to be
lick. When finished be sure to
write the word Poetry or Spring on
he envelope, so the Editor will not
ave to open it. These ipstruc-
ions only show how to write it; in
ase you should want it printed the
est plan is to buy a So printing
flee and print it yourself.-[Ex-
