 Colonel Everett L. Morse, assistant quar- returned this week from Chicago, where he had been making | for the Connecticut party at | the opening of the worlds fair.
 Governor Morris and staff will attend by invitation of the fair managers and will l participate in the exercises on the let of ! May. Quarters have been engaged at the Victoria hotel, on Michigan avenue, on the Lake front. The visitors will remain in Chicago. A parlor will be at the disposal of the guests and this will be decorated with the Connecticut colors.
 The plans for transportation have not keen completed. It is probable that the governor and staff will be present at the naval parade in New York harbor on the 27th inst, and will leave for Chicago the following day. The Connecticut delega- ton made most favorable impression at the dedication exercises in October, and is certain to repeat the triumphs at the com ing ceremonies.
 A very interesting lot of books was sent to Chicago yesterday from the book store of Belknsp & Warfeld, Hartford. It included forty-two volumes from the library of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, in- cluding different editions of ''Uncle Toms Cabin" There were two sets of two volumes each the rest being single volumes. They were in all sorts of bindings and illustrated the tremendous popularity of the great anti slavery classic. A particularly interesting specimen Is the Armenian edition, and l there are also translations in English Qn- cluding the famous penny edition), the | whole work and plays in French, two copies in Welsh, several in Spanish, at Milan and another in Naples, one or more in Portuguese, two or more In German, two in Dutch, and others.
 One of the most interesting features of the exhibit is 8 letter pasted in the back of one of the Datch volumes, dated July 22, 1862, from William Lloyd Garrison to Mrs Stowe, commenting the bearer, Rev. Sam uel Greene (colored), who was sentenced in Maryland in 1857 to ten years' imprison- ment for having copy of '.Unele Tome Cabin" in his possession, and released af- ter five years of imprisonmento on condition that he should live thereafter in Canada. With prophetic indignation MT. Garrison suggests how incredible that would seem Gin the distant future" The exhibit Is in ! tended for the woman's department of the ! worlds fair.
 The New Haven Carriage and Wagon ! company, at their salesrooms in Franklin l street, have on exhibition this week eight fine carriages that are to be sent to the worlds fair at Chicago in about ten days. The have availed themselves of the opportunity | of inspecting the fine vehicles The ex. hibit represents value of between $7, ,50C and $8,0OO.
 The last will and testament of Qaeen | Isabella, in which she makes 8 number o1 references to the new world, will be a very interesting object in the Spanish exhibit al
 the worlds fair.
 Exhibits for the wornan's building were
 required to be in the building by March 15
 at which time an expert committee of thu ! to determine their fitness for exhibition.
 Two white kapgaroos will appear in th
 New South Wales exhibit. These are ex

 living specimen is known to exist, an, that is an attraction in the Royal Aqua rum in London.
 Contracts have been let for furnishin
 35, 900. GOO admission tickets to the world
 fair. Of these, 5,00O, 900 will. be 1.-the
 graphed and of such elaborate workman
 ship that counterfeiting them will be mex
 to impossible. These are designed to moe
 the orders for tickets which have bee gn &@- |, good whenever presented at the gates
 The remaining 30,0OO, ,0OO will be eimpl
 printed after the style of an ordinary rai
 road ticket. These tickets will not all b
 alike, and a different style will be use
 each day. They will be good only on tn , day on which they are sold and will nc be offered to the public in advance of ths
 day. Thus danger of counterfeiting the,
 will be avoided. Thousands of compl
 mentary tickets and passes will have to | . issued, of course, but it is the intention (
 the directory to keep the list down as lo
 as possible, and to issue them only
 "those whose official position demand
 recoQnition by the exposition" The lis
 as thus far prepared, includes the hig
 officials of the government, the diplomat
 corps, governors, exposition commission
 CTS, directors, lady managers, exhibitor l employees, etc, etc. Nearly all of th
 passes will have affixed the photograph
 the holder to prevent their being tram
 ferred.

 of the city will get out special worlds fa
 editions from the same building. Five (
 the leading English morning papers of th
 city will each contribute page

 arrangements may be made with the cit . papers printed in foreign languages. Th
 pages that are contributed by the mornin
 psIers will go on to the grounds in tn , shape of stereotyped plates ready to go ol
 the presses. The matter for the othe t three pages will be collected on the ground and will be put in type by type machines which will also serve as exhibits. Tn : stereotyping process of making rolle l plates will be snoWn ID anoGnef room, an

 The various transportation lines betwes . the central portion of Chicago and th worlds fair grounds will be able to carr

Iceland saeas, bearing on the early dis cove1ies of the Norsemen and the storie of their trips to Vtnland and possibl North America, will be lent by the Danisi government to the United States for ez hibition at the worlds fair. These saga are entitled Code1 Fluteyensis. It has re quired good desl of red tape to SCOUT these valuable manuscripts. Before per hitting them to leave Copenhagen tn Danish government has stipulated that ii case of the total loss $20, ,000 must be pal for them and all expenses incident to thei exhibition. They are to be returned by United States man n-of-war.
