one of these individuals who placed a
large placard in a conspicuous part OF
the main hall, to-day, which read as
follows: "DIED-June L, 1885, the New
Orleans EXPOSITION. Peace to its ashes;
with hopes for its resurrection in the
wear two thousand, but not before"
And this was allowed to remain in
place the greater part of the day, be-
fore sufficient southern blood was
aroused to tear it down. The general
outcome of the Exposition has resulted
in good, and it has brought the people
of the nation in closer relationship
with each other, and also created a
greater friendliness with some of the
foreign sections. Particularly notice
able is the attachment that has sprung
up between the southern people of the
United States and the Mexicans. The
people of New Orleans cannot say and
DO enough In honor of the people of
Mexico for the noble manner in
which they have responded in aid
ing the Exposition, and well de-
serving are they of the encomiums they
have received, for their Mexican exhibit

extensive that was placed on the
