waii. There was no appropriation

Col. Il. $. Spalding had expressed
his ideas to the Minister of Interior
about getting up an exhibit for Pa
ris. lie intended going there and
would leave the kingdom in March
or April lie would offer his SER
vices in case no one else was expect
ed to 20, and would gladly do what
little lie could while there. He was
ready to contribute his share, and
also his time and services gratis to
the Cabinet. The best way to fur
nsh funds was either by an out and
out subscription among citizens or
for q number of gentlemen guaran-
tccing Il certain sum to the Govern
mcnt in case of any action of n
future Legislature. He did not see
how u good exhibit could be done
for less than $4,000. That amount
iudiciously expended would make a
good showing.

collect. Hon. c. r. Bishop has
large collection, also the Hale
Naua Society.
Minister Austin thought good
| exhibition could be made of curios,
including valuable antiquities, in
dicative OF the progress that had
been made from early times to the
present time. The first thing, how
ever. was whether it was desirable
TO have an exhibit. He proposed
the selection of II commission to as
sist the government. He would
like TO know something definite, so
as to write by the outgoing steamer
to secure space for the exhibition.

idea of an exhibition was a gooC
- one. At the Fisheries Exhibition il
+ London, the curios of Lady Bras
sey's, collected from the HawaiaI
Islands, attracted much attention
Sugar was not much of an attrac
ton. He was delighted with Col
Spading, for no betteriman could b
found TO represent the country
They were as poor as church mic
and depending on the future. A
exhibit should be made that woul

moIition of the Bastile. The Of
key of the Bastile would probabI
be looked upon with more intere
than anything else, If they Shove
a collection OF curios along with la

and show what efforts we had he'
- making, He was willing to su
