placed within, and the checked ai- sles running clear through the diff erent buildings, from side to side, making miles of passage or hall ways, one cannot but be overcome with the successful arrangement of one of the mos! gigantic schemes the world ever knew. The fine weather taken into consideration goes to make the Exposition not only subject to be discussed, but to be appreciated must be seen. Viewing the immensity of the dis plays from the galleries either in Main of Goyerment buildings seems like a fairy story; even Aladdin with his wonderful lamp could not produce such scene as one can here descry.
 Visitors have been arriving for the past week and getting comfort ably located for Mardi Gras, which began Tuesday the t7th. They will consequently get sthe adyan- tage of seeing the Exposition and witnessing the great carnival. The city therefore is full of people from all over the world.

Of the latter Renville sends specimen IL feet high, weighing 8 I-2 tons; while Jackson exhibits block in weight 1 1-2 tons; and Cambridge with ten other districts represents bituminous coal. Gin cinnati fire brick and furnace blocks for gass works and retorts, and a pot for melting glass nearly ton weight. A speciality is made of clay for terra colta vases, chim- ney tops and flues.

Native woods, rough and veneered, show up admirably. The wool display can't well be surpassed, some so fleces are seen. The rel ics of the Mound builders, their idols, and other curiosity of the Az tic race are wonderful.
