New O111.KAN8, March 16, 1885. One
nf thft most interestlm: of recent events 1
Npiw Orleans has been the semi centennial
celebration of the organization of the city
fire department. Unlike other great cities,
New Orleans has retained the volunteer
system in her fire department and her citl
zens take great interest in it. Annually on
the 4th of March the streets are crowded
lor miles along the line of march to witness
the triumphal procession of the brave men
who are always ready to risk life for oth
ers. This year the day had a special signifi
cation. It marked the re-establishment of
the power of the democratic party after a
quarter of a century of defeat, and it cele
brated the fiftiotu anniversary of the es
tabllshment of the New Orleans fire de
partment. The day that saw Grover Cleve
land seated In the presidential chair, found
New Orleans filled with strangers, while
many visiting companies were the guests
of the department. In spite of a cold wind
and dismal rain large crowds assembled
early on the streets to view the procession.
The rain was so persistent, however, that
the parade was postponed until the next
day when the spectators viewed one of the
grandest parade overseen In New Orleans.
Twenty-eight fire ccmpanles, besides sev
eral juvenile organizations, numbering ful
ly 2500, marched In line.
A hundred marshals lent dignity to the
parade, while forty carriages bore the
guests of honor, with veterans grown
gray In the service and long exempt from
active duty.
Thirty bands of music enlivened the
air, their strains Intermingled with the
chiming of bells on the trappuigs of the
horses. The engines were drawn by spe
cial teams of six or eight horses each, led
by fancifully dressed jockeys, while within
the ranks walked proudly the engine horses
with glided hoofs and richly decorated
coverings of satin. But It was upon the
engines that the greatest labor and expense
had been bestowed. Bouquets, festoons and
pyramids of gold and sliver fringe, rlblions
and natural flowers almost hid the body of
the engines, shining us bright as metal
could be made, while nearly all bore em
blematic figures, many of which were very
beautiful and artistic. One was King Cot
ton, representing s sovereign In his royal
robes seated upon a throne of state. At his
feet was a bale of cotton, while below was
a Negro picking cotton, the whole being
formed of cotton.
The liberty bell was prominent lu many
of the decorations, a token of restored
friendship ami amity between North and
South. The day closed with minor par
ades with j sllificatlons by the firemen, giv
ing the visitor a vivid picture of one of the
prominent features of Now Orleans lile.
fciu-lul tlava ut till Imposition.
Ono of the most enjoyable features of
tl.n exposition has been the selection of
special days as state days, when the citizens
of a state may meet, and listening to speecn
es and other entertainments, formally celo
brate the ODcnlnirof the exibit.
On the 11th of March the citizens of Ne
braska assembled at the beautiful head
quarters of the state and listened to several
eloquent f-peeches Interspersed wiii ciioicw
selections of music by the .Mexican lypi
cal Orchestra, after which the favorwd as
anml.lv were tresited to refreshments, con
slsttng of a generous supply of cake and
nrisented with several very pretty souve
nirs of the occasion, leaving In all minds a
lively appreciation of the generosity of th e
Rtitn.
Tennessee chose March 1 1th, the 117th
anniversary of the birth ot her famous son,
Andrew Jackson, for the formal opening of
.r exhibit. A delegation ot the Ienn.
legislature was present and hundreds of
Tennessee's citizens were in attendance.
The exercises weie of a somewhat peri
patetic nature, lginning at the state de
partment and proceeding from there to the
woman's wr.rk department, thence Ij the
Colored exhibit and from there M the edu
cational department, addresses being made
in each place, that of Hon. S. A. M c III wee
(colored; being particularly eloquent.
After this the Tenneseeans, with thous
ands of other visitors, assembled in Mulc
Hall, where the orator of the day, 11 a. F.
L. Dodd, delivered an able oration on the
life and character of Andrew Jackson.
The main building of the exposition is
ri.A Wo-nst ever erected, being 1378 feet
Hong and 005 feet wide, enclosing thirty
three acres of space, besides an auuiuon
3)50x150 feet designed for the exhibition of
heavy machinery. Around it runs a gal
lery 23 feet wide and In the center is Music
Hall with a seating capacity of 11,000. This
K..ii,iinr contains all the foreign exhibits
and the greater part of the exhibits made
by foreign parties. One side is devoted
wholly to the display of machinery and
one may beholu there a bewildering array
of almost every type of mechanism that the
genius of man has contrived.
Ponderous engines revolve the shading
that furnlHhes power to smaller machlhery.
Complicated and lngonlous looms weave
beautiful handkerchiefs and book-marks of
silk with portraits, music, &c, on them,
in nil the hues of the rainbow. Numerous
turning lathes rapidly transform wood,
Ivory and other materials into beautiful
forms, and the band-saw man with his
puzzles Is here In full force. A monster
rofton compress, the largest machine in
the exhiUtl in, c( n lenses un ordinary bale
of cotton into half Its former bulk witli a
density of 3i)J lbs. to the cubic foot.
Numerous machines for extracting and
utilizing the fiber of ramie hemp jute, silk
grass &c, are shown, and an exhibit of the
process through which cotton passes on
its way from the field to the fabric is of
interest to Northerners.
Giirantic locomotives and magnificent
palace cars Illustrate the progress of rail
roading, and farming Implements in an
their variety are fully represented.
Large refrigerator rooms show how per
ishable articles are preserved through the
hottest weather, and ono may see the fin
est ice manufactured in a way that Boreas
never dreamed of.
Among the foreign nations Mexico makes
the largest display. Here may be seen all
that wealth of material, lying so near us,
waiting only for enterprise and capital to
bring it Into the markets of the world.
Mexico also makes a very creditable show
ing of native manufactures. Numerous
glass cases are filled with samples of tex
tile manufactures from delicate silk hand;
kerchiefs to the heaviest blankets and
pimi-lm. Here may be seen buckskin
for clothing, soft as the finest cloth and
stamped in attractive patterns. Other ca
ses contain every variety of horseman's
equipments, prominent among which are
the saddles richly stamped and ornamented
wllh gold and silver, ranging in price from
$50 to $1)00 each. Another row of cases
shows the Mexicans to be masters of the
preserving art, for here are almost every
variety of fruit and vegetable transformed
Into delicious sweatmeats. We know, for
through the courtesy of the commissioners
we were permitted to taste some of the
most curious. The exibit of cigars and
cigarettes is very complete, some of the
most delicate of the latter being marked:
"For ladles." There are cases filled with
small models of Mexican birds, very nat
ural and said to be true to life, while oth
ers contain models illustrating Mexican
life. The exibit includes fine furniture,
a street car, fire-arms and models of artil
lery besides numerous other manufactures.
Mexico has reason to be proud of her ex
hibit, and she is preparing others that
promise to be even more attractive.
Two special buildings are as yet closed
to visitors, one of which is a gem in archi
tecture, with windows of stained glass, and
a beautiful dome of the same material.
Nothing in the Mexico exibit is for sale,
the government making the exhibit simply
to call attention to her vast resources and
to Invite and extend commercial relations
with other nations. Oiisehveti.

IMMIGRATION.
The New Yovk as well as Chicago and
other papers have abounded in advertise
ments for weeks past that the rates of
steerage passage by the best steam lines
from the principal ports of Kurope to those
of this country had been reduced to 7.00,
and the Pennsylvania Central, the Kne,
and other through lines of railroad adver
tise that they will carry emigrants from
New York, Boston or Philadelphia to Chi
cago for $1. Surely at these rates there
are few on th other side who cannot,
through themselves or friends, raise enough
to cross the ocean and get into the country
at least as f ir as Chicago, Milwaukee or
St. Louis.
Yet it is noticeable that the arrivals at
Castle Warden, in spite of these reduced
rates, have greatly fallen off. The number
landed there since the 1st of January is
less than a third of the corresponding pe
rlixl of 1S8 I, and hardly a fourth of the
same period in 183.
The facts are noteworthy its show ing the
thorough know ledge which the middle and
lower classes of Europe appear to have of
the condition of lalsir and business In this
country. A depression of business in this
couutry is invariably followed by a falling
off lu Immigration, and a revival by an in
crease. In JS73 the numberof Immigrants
received was tlD.HiiS, or more than in any
previous year; in 174 it fell to 3l:l,3:!8,
and in 1878 it was down to 138,7(i!, or lss
than in any year since 1XG2, when we were
in the midst of war. In 1S0, the revival
of prosperity having been assured, the total
again went up t r7,25., and since then
the numl-er has been much greater.

What the Sexton Said.
tr T awU 'F.dwnnls. Sexton of Mt. Ver-
piuno rM.nrch Washington. D. C. cer
tifies that for several months past he had
been Buffering witli a severe cougu uitu
distressed him day and night. He was
very much debilitated, with constant pains
in his chest. After trying various reme
dies lie used the Bed Star Cough Cure,
which gave him entire relief.
As a remedv for that much-dreaded di
sease, diphtheria, the following should be
of great interest to both physician and
parent :
Ruth Lockwood, the ! -year old child of
Thomas Lockwood, of the New "iork
7V..i)j linpnmA viol entlv 111 withdiphthe-
ria oil Tuesday night. She was so weak
that it was deemed dangerous to try uui
eotomy, or cutting open the w ind-pipe. On
Thursday Dr. Nichols, who was attending
her, received a copy of the Paris Figaro,
which contained a report maue iu me
lemv of Medicine bv Dr. Del-
thil, who said that the vapors of liquid tar
and turpeutine would dissolve ine uuiiiious
exudations which choke up the throat in
croup and diphtheria, nr. ueiuiu a pn
cess was described. He pours equal parts
of turpentine and liquid tar into a tin pan
I it f'lllt 4kftl i si.tvi lire to the mixture. A
dense resinous smoke arises, which per-
- . . . . r . . .! t M
mentpt) th air m tno room. l no paueui,
"immediately seems to
experience relief ; the choking aud rattle
stop; the patient lulls into a summer mm
seems to inhale the smoke with pleasure.
The fibrinous membrane soon becomes de
tached, and the patient coughs 1 micro,
bicides. These when caught in a glass
may be seen to dissolve in the smoke. In
the" course of three days afterward the pa
tient entirely recovers." Dr. Nichols tried
this treatment with little Ruth Lockwcxxl.
She was lyintr gasping for breath when he
visited hrr. Firmly pouring out two table
sxxmfuls of liquld tar on an iron pan, he
poured as much turpentine over it and set
it on fire. The rich resinous smoke which
rose to the ceiling was by no means tin
pleasant. As it filled the room the child's
breathing became natural, and as the
smoke grew dense she fell asleep, to awake
relieved and to recover perfect health.
We suggest that this vapor should be used
where danger is apprehended. It Is easier
to prevent than to cure.

Halting I'uwiler Trump.
The danger to the public health from
the indiscriminate use of the many lime
and alum baking powders of commerce
has been so fully exposed that everybody
desires to avoid them. As "forewarned Is
forearmed," housekeepers will thank us for
apprising them of the special efforts at pres.
ent being made to dispose of such powders
in this vicinity.
The proprietors of some of the worst of
these powders are now going from house
to house, trying by means of a trick, or so
called test, with heat and water; to show
that their article is as good as the Royal
Baking Powder, making the comparison
with this brand because everybody recog
nizes it to bo absolutely pure and whole
some, the object, of course, being to supply
their own goods In place of the Royal,
which housekeepers have for so many
years relied upon to puff up the morning
biscuit, and to make the light, palatable
and wholesome roll, cake and pastry for
which it is famous.
The housekeeper will do well to bo on
her guard against these baking powder
tramps. Every intelligent person knows
that any gocxls peddled from house to
house in this manner, or that are given
away in samples, or sought to be Intro,
duced by secretly traducing the character
of other gowls well known to be pure and
reliable, have no merits of their own, and
have failed to find purchasers through le
gitimate means.
We are informed, as a matter of fact,
that ono of these tramps is trying to intro
duce a jxnvder that has been found by the
Government chemist to be 11.85 per cent,
lime, while the other peddles a powder that
is 20 per cent, alum one a powerful caus
tic, the other a corrosive poison.
No such tricks or jugglery will be apt to
deceive any intelligent person. The house
keeper who has used her Royal Baking
Powder ever since she discarded cream o?
tartar and sxla, knows more about its qual
ities than all the tramps in the country can
teach her. The crucial test to which she
has put the Royal Baking Powder the
test of actual and successful work In the
preparation of pure and wholesome food,
under which it has never failed Is entire
ly satisfactory to her. She has always had
"good luck" with It In making light, sweet
and delicious bread, biscuit and cake, and
lias placed it, to stay, at the head of her
housekeeping favorites. She knows that
it lias been officially approved by the Gov
ernment chemists as the best, and we imag
ine that the baking powder tramp who at
tempts to supplant its place In her confi
dence will find this a bad year for his
business.

Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co.: Gentlemen-
My little girl had the diphtheria last April.
The disease left her very weak, blood poor,
with no appetite, and she could not seem to
rally Irom its effects. Hood's sarsaparil
la was recommended by a neighbor. After
she had been taking it a few days we noticed
a change for the better she began to eat
with a relish. It seemed to take out the
poison the disease had left in her blood, the
chance being very noticeable In her face.
She took it two months and fully regained
her health, much to our delight. We now
recommend Hood's SAnsAPARiiXA with a
great deal of pleasure Very truly yours,
