IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.

On Tuesday next in pursuance OF
a cali made by our worthy Governor,
there will assemble, We hope from all
portions OF the State, an intelligent
and numerous body of substantial
citizens to hold council together IN
relation to the general welfare of our
people. aid especially to adopt the
necessary measures to promote and
increase the volume of agricultural
products with the necessary accom-
panying industries.
The cities big and small 10 the
thickly settled portions OF the coun-
try. are crowded with able boiled
men anxious for employment North,
East and West. This IS evidenced
in the fact that wherever and when
ever strikes take place, no matter
how many strikes, lots OF half starv-
ing individuals crowd forward to till
the vacancies that are thereby pro-
duced, taking all the chances OF being
violently treated and as is we'll known,
often risking and losing their lives
in the efforts to secure subsistence
and prevent starvation.
The recent Homestead troubles,
and the strikes in other places are
vivid illustrations of this crowded
condition of the cities we have re
ferred 10, while here, in the mild ever
climate of Louisiana, away from thu
six months snow and frozen winte
of the North, we have hundreds o
thousands of acres of land. as pro
ductive and inexhaustable as crov
ever few over, with climate as sa
lubrious as human nature could pos
sibie desire, where comfortable
subsistence can be readily eaTne'
with comparatively little labor, and
competence soon secured by clos
attention to business and dilligent i'll
dustry.
It is passing strange that ther
should be such an aversion to tn
tilling of the soil among the human
family, when from such toll come
nearly all our sources of comfort an
|, wealth, and when it is we'll know
that there is DO business upon tn
face of the earth, among the multi
tude Of varied pursuits. that make
such close aud direct connectio
with human independence as farm
! ing. We are truly anxious to Sc
the virgin soil of the Louisiana va
leys that have been lying idle IL
centuries soon brought into q big
state of cultivation, making room fc

In the fine arts building. the vari-
Gus rooms are most admirably ar
ranged for the display of the pic
lures. but the impression made by
the entrance, or by any single paint
ing was not to my mind anything
like the grandeur and the interest
displayed at the Philadelphia Cen
tennial. The "Impressionist" school
of painters, of recent origin, with
their dobs of paint, and free use Of
lavender and yellow, made one Won
der how highest culture should seem
so akin to carelessness and absurd
ity.
The electrical Examinations on Ger.
tain evenings of the week are GER
tainly very beautiful. One can hard
" think himself in world of reality,
so weird are the effects OF the diff
ferent colored lights, thrown on the
fountains, snd the glowing brilli-
ancy of the electrical display. The
crowds of people in the buildings,
on the thoroughfsres, in the restau-
rants, on the cars, are a constant
source of wonder and interest. To
see these thousands day after day, and
come Unexpectedly on some friend or
scquaintsnces, is one of the pleasant
incidents of visit to the Fair. OF
course, one expects to meet island
people at the Cyclorama of Hi
lauea, but one is just as
likely to meet them unex
pectedly in some other part of the
grounds. The ,cyclorsms is artist
cally displayed in q well arranged
building, from the front of which
stands out a female figure holding
torch. But as the features are Gre
clan, one needs to be told that it
represents Pele, the Hawaiian god
dess of fire. In front of the build
ing is pavilion where the Hawaiian
band does not play. They would
have been a great attraction, and the
Fair is incomplete without them.
