Davis Co, OUR EXPOSITION LETTER. One point of great importance to tbote who will attend the Cotton Centennial, &e , it to gel information respecting board and lodging: consequently your correspondent called upon Messrs Wotx & Moulton, 23Cari.ii'!' let street, New Orleans, who make a specialty of furnishing accommodations for from »ne to one thousand visitors, and was told that comfortable and agreeable quarters could be had for *1 50 and t'i M a day. Another feature to be inaugurated during the season is that of frequent pleasure excursions by rail or water up and down the noble Mississippi, to the beautiful lakes and gnlfs, even to Mexico, Central America, or Cuba, at trifling est. One of the most attractive publications for genernl distribution yet got out concerning the wi.i Id's Exposition is a HI cents Visitors' Ouide issued by Then. Pohlmann, New Oileans. This contains an accurate map of the city, showing Exposition grounds, lines of street railways, points of interest, <%c: also illustrations of the ditfeieut Exposition buildings.with a birds eye view of buildings and giitind*. Full information upon all points necessary for the visitor. It is a valuable little book to every one. Mr. P. sends it to any address post paid ou receipt of 14 cents in stamps. The steamer Kate Karro'l las returned f om Central America loaded down with Ileal plants and flu* era, where she waa in charge of C lininissioner Lever to ct specimens for the Exposition, s. Oe». McChesney of Council Bluff, 1., was visiting here, wandered from her ds last week and when found was so ly exhausted she soon died. Aberration of the mind was the cause. Nkw Orlkans, Ea., Jan. 10. Nothinir has yet occurred nt the grounds to ! mar the pleasnio of any; mid the weather being so udmirable, vegetation green and ( growing, eveiybody ua« *lvorn u smile as gracious us a bonnio lassie's. Profesor Currier, who lias IkfM furrlshiug music in the Hall of Main building witb his brass band since the Exposition opened, canceled his engagement with the Hoard of Management ami left for Cincinnati Thursday. The fait is the Management realized Curriei's liund was too expensive u luxury for the services rendered, two hours ada , j at a cost of nearly 110,000 a month, llesides th« Mexican Cavalry Hand, which is (iist class, has ten leredits services free of charge; ! and t li'-ii the i:\ 1,000 organ just set up In inu; sic Hall, which is cont.ibuted by th" llrui of I'ichl'T liros. this city, i* one of the largest and llnest iustruiiients in America. It will . be played by professionals duily; and used in worship uvoiy Sunday. Then there are h indreds of pianos on exhibition within tbe building from which strains of melody w ill flow almost continually. Consequently, .there will be no lack for music during the The financial stiaiglit in which the Exposition Management finds itself now the World's l' uir is at the acinu of success as un ' exhibit, while it is to be regretted, could not : well be helped. It needs $300,000 to set it well on its feet, which it would have acquir- I ed from gate money had the weather per- I milted the attendance of visitors. But New Orleans with over $115,001,000 of taxable I property will not let the Exposition suffer | for lack of the paltry sum of a quarter, or even a half a million dollars. A mass meeting was held Thursday evening, when the Finance Committee, through Director General Burke, stated the facts of their eiubnr( rassment, aud went to work to remedy the j s ime. A committee was appointed to raise [ the needed funds, and us charity begins at honie.it set out by subscribing $35,000. It will report to-night, and no one doubts the requisite amount will lie forthcoming. How I ever, the Puldic need not be alariued, as the wheels of the World's Great Fair will enn| tinue to revolve, and no power, save super human, can prevent it. Ho let everydodv come and see the world—aye, circumvent it \ as it were—in less than thirty days. A lump of silver bullion from ( hihaubau, Mexico, is showu in Main building. It weighs 5040 pounds, and valued at $114,000. A small but se'ect party of excursionists ' from New York reached the city aboard the ' steam yacht Yosemite, the first of the week. Chief Gaul, of the Sioux Tribe of Indians, accompanied by bis wife and cbilit, aud Interpreter Young, of Standing Rock Agency Dakota, are guests of Commissioner Fleming | of Fargo, at the Dakota Department, in the government buildii g. The Chief is a boon j companion of Sitting Bull, the Wild Indian who helped t > massacre Genera) Custer on | ( the Little Big Horn, Montana, in IK7O. To give your readers an idea of the inter- j est Mexico is taking in the Exposition, it is only neces ary to state that their elegant round iien building now being erected will oost nigh onto #175.000, not to mention the expenses incurred in putting up their ba>- | racks, about an equal amount. Knowing this, certainly every citizen of the United States will he interested in making the affair a grand success, by individual presence ! if nothing more. Those who visit the Exposition henceforth cannot leave dissutisfied; for ft bearing is bei eving,seeing will be knowing; and realizing they will dare maintain that enough praise has not been given this gigautie enterprise. There is sufficient to see in any one building to repay anybody for a visit down here. " Nothing like keeping up with the times. There is no little interest being taken in the displays at the World's Fair by the various railroads. With the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul in the lead, the Richmond & Dauvile East Tenu, Va. & Georgia, the Queen & Crescent, Balto & Ohio, the Chesapeake St Ohio, the Nortberu Pacific, the : Union Pacific and other lines, a great exhibit can be seen in the way of agricultural productions, mineral ores, bullion. Sic. Among the attractions In government building, the elegant little postoffice deserves speoial mention and purtlcular notice It is got up in excellent taste for looks and usage, and is conducted by 11. W. Mall, but under tbe general surveillance of Postmaster Me chant, it being an adjunct to tbe New Orleans postoffice. Jury Drawing.
