SAW THE EMPEROR.

A PorSistone Yankee Who, Forced TITS
Way to oyatty.
The newspapers recently stated the
fact Of the presence of IN American oak
in the imperial gardens at st. Peters
burg, says the St. Louis Giobe-Deno-
crat. Concerning this tree curious
story was tod many years ago, appar-
emily with absolute verifcation. When
Mr.. Dallas, afterward vice president,
was in st. Petersburg us American min
istcr, he was )ne day visited by tall,
awkward Yankee, who, heing requested
to state his business, immediately said
TINT he wanted to see the emperor. He
was assured that obtaining an inter-
view with the emperor was no easy
task, but not being disposed to take a
refusal he was requested to leave his
name and return in about q fortnight,
when his application would probably
be considered and determined. A week
or. two later the American minister was
surprised by u visit from the tall Yam
fee, and, beginning to assure his visitor
that an interview with the emperor
could not be obtained, the Yankee re-
sponded that he had already seen the
emperor, had just called in ut the en-
bassy for the purpose OF saying good
by, as he was on his way home. Mr..
Dallas was duhfounded, and inquired
into the particulars, when he found that
the man actually had, by sheer force of
brass, succeeded in passing the guards
at the palace and seeing the emperor.
II gave him a present, too" what
was it?" inquired Mr.. Dallas, IAN
acorn from Mount Vernon from d tree
that grew over Washington's tomb.
The emperor planted, it in the garden
with his own hands. 1 followed him
out and saw him plant It," Strange as
the story was, it was true, and the oak
now growing in the imperial gardens at
st. Petersburg sprung from the acorn
carried thither as q present to the en-
peror by the long. awkward American.

Organ and Piano Manufacturer, is
building and shipping more Organs

Beatty left home penniless plow-
l boy, and by his indomitable will he
has worked his way up SO as to sell
ss far, nearly 100000 of Beatty's Or
gans and Pianos since 1870. Moth
ing seems to diehearten him; obsta
cles laid in his way, that would have
wrecked any ordinary man forever,
he turns to an advertisement and
comes out of it brighter than ever.
His instruments, as is we'll known,
are very popular and are to be found
In all parts of the world. We are in.
formed that during the next ten
months he intends to sell 100000
more of his make. that means bust

Mississippi is disgraced by a legis-
lature which not only refused to
make an appropriation of $4,000,
but also refused to allow cities and
counties to tax themselves for funds
for an exhibit. The whole matter is
thus thrown private enterprise, and
the people of the State arc doing
the best they can to repair tho dam
age done by their Legislature.
West Virginia has fund of $40,
600, which was appropriated at the
last session of the legislature. One.
half of this amount is to be expend-
cd in the construction of handsome
State building upon tho fair grounds,
and the wonderful natural resources
of the State are assured magnifi-
cent presentation.
The Tennessee legislature refused
to appropriate any money for the
Worlds Fair, but authorized the
counties of the State to make appro.
priations for this purpose A con
siderable fund has thus been raised,
and it is probable that sufficient
amount will be provided to give this
State the representation to which it
is entitled by its prominence.
North Carolina has no Legislative
appropriation to depend upon, but
there is wide spread intestest in
Worlds Fair matters in that State,
and the people are making active ef
forts to create sufficient fund by
private subscription to defray the
cost of reproducing the famous old
Tyron Palace at Chicago, and to
make representative exhibit of
North Carolina's interests.
Virginia has Legislative appro.
priation of S25,O0O, to which it ia
proposed to add $4,000 by private
subscriptions. The question of a
building has not yet been settled,
but the State will be well represented
at Chicago.
Georgia's interests will be suitably
represented i'm the World's Fair
through the efforts of Governor
Northen and number of the levding
citizens of the State, who have taken
the matter in hand because of the
failure of the legislature to make any
appropriation. Efforts are being
made to raise fund of 100000 to
be expended for Worlds Fair pur
poses.
Maryland will spend 100000 on
the Worlds Fair, one-half of which
will be used to defray the cost of the
State building. The manufacturers
of this State arc availing themselves
libernlly of tho opportunities that are
offered by the exposition.
South Carolina has no legislative
appropriation, such provision hav-
ing been refused at the last session.
Under the direction Of the leading
citizens private enterprise is being
depended upon to care for the inter-
ests of this State. No fund has as

THE SOUTH AT WORLDS
FAIR,

l. olIr
In it's issue of May 13 the Manu-
facturer' Record, of Baltimore, de-
votes fifteen pages of its space to the
Worlds Fair, giving illustrations and
descriptions of the buildings and o
very full account of the part that the
South will take in the enterprise. In
an editorial summary of the prepara-
tions that are being made by the
South, the Manufacturers Record
says:
The people of the South are awak-
ening to the Importance of this great
occasion, and will not fail of having
their section of the country properly
represented in this greatest interna-
tional exposition the world has ever
known.
Texas is making the most extern
sive preparations of all the Southern
State. The people of the Lone Star
Empire have already provided for a
fund of S225,000, and they propose
to increase this amount to 81 100000
to be used in behalf of Texas. Not
dollar of this amount comes from
the State treasury, but is all to be
raised through private enterprise.
The State of Kentucky is the only
one in which very large appropria-
ton has been made by the legisla-
ture for Worlds Fair purposes, the
amount Of 100000 having been ap-
propriated by the Kentucky legisla.
ture for the presentation of that
State at Chicago. This action has
but recently been taken. and the
plans for the work. are as yet incom
plete.
Florida is doing an unique work in
this connection. Although the legis-
lature refused to appropriate any
money for the purpose, the people
have taken the matter in hand, and
they expect to raise 100000 with
which to reproduce old Fort Marion
at Chicago, and provide an appro-
pirate display of the resources of
Florida
The Arkansas legislature did moth.
ing towards providing means for a
State exhibit, but the State has not
been allowed to suffer on this ac-
count, and the people are raising by
private subscription fund Of S40,.
600. Arkansas will have building
on the Worlds Fair grounds and
will be appropriately represented.
Alabama, we regret to say, has
done but little in behalf of the
Worlds Fair. The ladies of that
State are the active spirits in the
matter, and through their instrumen
tality it is hoped that fund of $40.
600 or $4,000 will be raised for the
representation of that State at Chi
cago.
Louisiana has not raised any funds
thus far, but petition to the legis
lature, which will soon be presented
osks an appropriation of 100000, and
