CHAT ABOUT THE EXPOSITION.

A New Haven Gentlemanss Impres-
 sfons of the Great Southern Exhibi-
 tion-A Word For Our Southern
 Esrethren-Livea and Let Live.
 A New Haven gentleman speaking of the New Orleans exposition, which he recently visited, says: I find the opinion quite com mon that the exposition is failure. This is far from the fact. The exposition is suc- cess, and would add my testimony to that of thousands of others, men of note and prominence, to that effect. Bear in mind that New Orleans had but two million dollars to work on, $2,000,0O capital, while the Philadelphia exhibition had many millions more. Besides the $1 1000, 900 and more that the United States loaned for it, New Orleans, publicly and privately, raised $700,OO See the difference. Yet the exposition as an ex- hibit is grand success. The exhibit is won- derful and 8 grand credit to the South. Then look at the great buildings. The main build ing is 1878 feet by 9O5-larger than the largest at the centennial, and big enough to cover New Haven's old Green, old State House and all, and overlap the Green on all sides. Then there are the Horti- cultural hall, 6OOx194 feet; ma chinery extension building, 250x2O0 the art gallery, 25Ox1OO; the Mexican national exhibit, 3O0x9O, and the government building, S85x565, and what more need be said on that point. The figures speak for themselves. Then as to hotel or. boarling house accom- modations. Common report is, find, that everybody charged awfully high prices in New Orleans-that prices for board are out landish. Such is not the fact. People can live there according to their means and can get good accommodations for $6 per week, excellent food and fare and lodgings; or they can pay S6 per day at the best hotels. A host of places can be found where good board and lodging can be obtained at from $6 to $10 per week. The trip is a delightful one and nobody need stay away for fear of high prices. The space allotted to the United States government for exhibits is 109, ,325 square feet, and the space to the respective States varies from IS, 145 to about $, ,000 square feet.
 Foreign countries occupy the following amount of space allotted in the center of the main building, viz.

Third Annual Exhibition.

The quiet times in business circles have not
 deterred MT. Cutler from giving his annual
 exhibition of fine paintings from the artists
 in New York In conversation he expresses
 himself as follows: "To be sure times are
 scarce with the artists as with anybody else,
 consequently they are willing to sell at lower
 prices. Here is picture that should have
 sold for six hundred dollars two years ago.
 This year sell it for four hundred and fifty
 and a similar reduction is made in the prices
 of great majority of the artists.' There
 is no doubt but MT. Cutler presents for the enjoyment and patronage of the public much finer collection than ever before. He has at each former exhibition sold a picture by William Hart; this year he shows two delightful examples of this artists work. Last year he sold marine painting by F. A. Silver, and this year he has another attrac- tive and valuable example. He has never sold one by M. F. H. De Haas, but he ventures to exhibit this year larger and finer one than ever before, having become convinced that the best pictures sell the best. We cannot comment upon all the notable pictures in the collection. but we mention worthy of special attention Nos 3 and 20 Ey J. B. Bristol, No. 32 by Jeryis MeEntee, No. Il, Twilirlt at Magnolia Point, by F. K. M Rehn, and No. 50, An August Morning, by the same artist, No. 51, Hunting in Camp, by H. Fuechsel. One of the most brilliant among Boats by Harry Chase. Among the figure pieces is an important picture by Walter Satterlees inc title of which is "A Modern Penelope" An old man filing saw while a little mulat- l to boy stands by trying to learn the trade is | a capital picture by E. L. Henry: No. s9, by William Morgan, is entitled ''It Might Have | Been," and represents girl sitting by her ,pinninR-wheel, lost in thought; it is a sweet picture and fuIl of tender sentiment. Space will not allow of further mention, but nearly yery picture is worthy of special study.

THE GOSPEL UNION.

Interesting Exercises at Center Church
 Songs of Zion by MT. and Mrs. Steb-
 bins.
 MT. and Mrs. Stebbins, who it will be re- membered were so prominent in the revival meetings which occurred directly after the Moody and Sankey meetings in this city some years ago, held a service of song in aid of the Gospel Union in Center church last evening. The church was filled with an interested au- dience. Rev. Newman Smyth presided at the meeting. Mir Stebbins opened the meeting with song, after which Mr. and Mrs. Stebbins sang hymn called the "Elev- enth Hour," the subject of which was taken from the Pilgrims Progress. It is rather in the form of a question and answer Mr. Stebbins accompanied himself on the organ. The hymn "Along the River of Time we Glide" was then sung by MT. and Mrs. Steb- bins, after which Mir. John c. Collins gave a history of his undertakings since he became superintendent of the city mission He in- formed the congregation that nine years ago the mission was started, and at that time there were thousands of children who att tended no Sunday school or religious meet ings; now there are not more than five hun dred. The number is rapidly decreasing. He said he did not know of one person who attended his Sunday school to turn out bad; that certainly spoke well for the school and the work. Mir. Collins said he took this time to ask for money not for himself, but so as to enable him to continue his work unbroken. He spoke of the penny savings bank, in which deposits are made Saturday after noons by the Sunday school children. In one year there was over $500 saved thus by the scholars. He hoped that he would not al ways have to appear and ask for money to carry on his good work, for he hoped that some of his scholars when they grew up would give him money so that he could aid others as they were aided. The free reading room and his work in the Police court were passed over briefly, and after he had con- cluded MT. Stebbins sang the song,
 What are you going to do, brother;
 Say, what are you going to do?"
 Rev. Dr. Todd spoke briefly in the place of Rev. Dr. Goodsel, who was unable to ap- pear. He then spoke for short time of the good work MT. Collins did. The meeting closed with a prayer by Rev. Spencer H. Bray, followed by song by MT. and Mrs. Stebbins. The amount of the collection was not stated, but quite a considerable sum was evidently contributed.

AMERICAN THEATER
PAvEMENTS OF PARIS.

The "Pavements of Paris" drew fair sized audience at the New Haven Opera House last evening. The play is 8 combination of comedy and melodrama finely acted and com plete in stage settings and scenery. The prologue introduces the principal characters in the drama and places the good people into a world of trouble and sets the bad peo- pie on their track with the usual prospects of success. The first act, twelve years later, in- troduces all the characters again and gives the heroine chance to increase in age and size. The rest of the drama is devoted to fighting the wrongs of the virtu- ous and bringing the erring to an ignominious end The death of the hero is unique-he is run over by 8 locomotive. This locomotive crosses the stage, emitting real steam supplied from under the stage, the necessary mechanism being arranged by Foskett &t Bishop of this city. The com pany is an unusually strong one and the per formance is in every particular frst-class. The play will be repeated tonight and to- morrow afternoon and evening. It should be greeted with overdowing houses.

Fine Etchinga.

A large demand for fine etchings has been developed in New Haven, and it has been fostered and extended by the judicious selec- tions which have been shown at Cutters Art store, and the attractiveness of the subjects themselves has been greatly enhanced, by the appropriate styles of framing adopted by MT. Cutler. Many people who have given but little attention to etchings and engravings desire to ask questions concerning the pro- cesses by which they are made, and in order to answer these inquiries MT. Cutler has is- sued little pamphlet called Prints and Proofs, edited by c. Klackner, of New York, copies of which may be obtained at his store,

LIES DAY.

Into the field of life we pass
At early morn. The iewelled grass
With sunbeams kissed spreads at our feat;
And youth, like morn. all pure and sweet
And bright is filed with rosy dreams
While in the purple heavens CLEANS
The star of fortune and OF fame,
And in its light we read q name
Oh, dream, most sweet, is our own
More glorious still, it shines alone
The sun speeds on, the star no more
Is seen. Elusive dreams are DER.
Fortune and fame SO coy and feet
But mock our weary, wayworn feet,
Ambitions fairest prize has flown
A name appears, but not our own.
What have we then for all our pains
For all our prayers ? Are there no grains
OF good to show Has all been lost
In that our cherished plans were crossed,
And dissipated each fond dream
As snow-fakes melt within the stream 7
An, no See how our souls are filed
With wealth of harvests we have titled
With meekness, patience love. and truth
Blest springs of everlasting youth:
Bright jewels of the crown within;
Ripe fruit of life's sharp discipline
On which there dawns the twilight gray
OF day that dies not with the day.
