testines. And yet 1 have seen women
lodging about upon floor that literally
gushed gore, between the great shining
carcasses that swing headloug on the
travellers. 1t is enough; we do not care
for the sheep sticking; il is relief to es-
cape into the cool depths of the great bu =
terine factory, where the giant
churns revolve and nimble dairy
maids roll into pats product
few can distinguish from the genuine
article. We look at the immense stables
over the way where are ranged the
vans and the gray ClYdesdale
horses that are required by
the business of this firm-one of
the pioneers in the dressed meat trade
and so successful competitor with older
firms that its capital stockof g, 100000
is said to have yielded a dividend last
year of % per cent. 1t is great world
and one that requirers a great deal to
eat.
THE FAIR.
The man who attempts description of
what the lamented Barnum would have
called "the create show on earth" re-
veals his kinship with the mis-
guided enthusiast who attempts
a description of Niagara. tits not in
its details that find the great fair most ad-
mirable lit is in the general effect of its tout
ensemble that it most fully reveals itself
as an exponent of the artistic feeling that
lies beneath the surface of our CONNER
cial civilization. No nation, no commu-
nifty that can in few short months pro-
ject upon barren space temples that re-
call the glories of ancient Greece, need

court of honor, the peristyle and the
wooded island, can ever view with the old
cOmplacency the abortive attempts of
amateur architects to give our new towns
an air of cheap elegance at the expense of
artistic veracity. 1t is only to be re-
GREETED that the south had not larger
share in this glory, and that more of the
states south of the line have not a7ailed
themselves Of an opportunity to paint in
the brightest of colors their prosperity
such as can hardly occur again.
But half loaf Is considerably better
than nothing, and the display made by
such sovereign states as Arkansas and
Missouri and Texas must do much TO dis
pei the fog that Obscures the vision of
many northern minds.
IN WASHINGTON,
through which city passed on my way, I
met Senator Pasco of Florida, who was
somewhat engrossed by the work of the
committee on claims of which he is a men,
Der. l heard some complaint of the sena-
tors lack of interest in the important
matter of patronage, but political aspi-
rants are VIGOROUSLY thicker than politi-
cal plums. Most of your Florida readers
will be glad to learn, however, that Sen
ator Call has found places for many of
those who followed him into the wilder
ness two years ago, and that more than
one familiar face may be found about the
capitol, enshrined in handsome official
frame. Politics and the prizes and penal
ties thereof may have no place in aetter
on the fair, but if the senator's course is
not fair, what isl j. G. S.
