0UR EXPOSITION LETTER.
New Orleans, La., Jan. 27, 1885.
Tho committee appointed at tbe
mass meeting to raise tbe needed
funds for transient expenses of the
Exposition report satisfactory re
sults. Appreciating tbe maguitude of tbe
exhibition by States and Territories
tbe United States commissioners
held a meeting to memorialize their
respective legislatures to appropriate
additional funds to carry out the ori
ginal intention of having said states
and territories well represented in
the way of keeping a fresh supply
of agricultural, and pomological pro
ductions at tho exposition.
' The Press" "of Tennessee is almost
unanimous in nrging tbe legislature
of that State to mine $10,000 in be
half of tbe state exhibit.
To give your renders ,a clear idea
of tho magnificence of the Exposition
wo will write short descriptive para
graphs of the contents of tbe various
departments, and there is no better
p'ace to begin than the Government
building, which covers 16 acres of
land, contains every state and terri
tory well represented in productions,
natural and artifioal. Tbe central
space is monopolized with the United
States matters proper, which takes
in all the departments ftt Washing
ton under distinct heads. This will
be minutely describedjwben reached.
' New York State is located in the
southeast corner of tbe building, and
is in charge of Jas. C. Truman, of
Binghampton, special commissioner
from the Empire State. While tho
display already shows up well, Mr.
Truman says it will be two weeks be
fore it is complete. On a banner
over tbe reception room is printed in
large letters, "Excelsior." The geo
logical display is very fine, contain
ing the leading minerals, coal and
iron, with a pyramid of stone showing
it in all conditions of formation. Very
little machinery is shown, as most of
the latter is displayed in machinery
hall. A specialty is made of the pub
lic charities of the State, in the way
of asylums of every description.
Nearly every county sends a messen
ger in the way of a beautiful photo
graph of some large building, the
home of tbe poor, which speaks vol
umes for the charities of the State.
Nice reception rooms are open to the
public where one can read, write and
rest in peace.
Nebraska, on the east side, tinder
the commissionership of Oov. Furnas,
which wag tbe only State ready
on day of opening, make a most fa
vorable appearance, and although all
others bad the advantage of improv-
inz on its design, bolus well witn
any and alL Corn is king, aa on its
walls the bead of a monarch is in
geniously formed from different col
ored grains of corn. In 1HS3 this
state produced 121-000,000 Imabels
of the sUffe of life; 29,000,000 bushels
of wheat, 18,000,000 LusLels of oats,
10,000000 baabels of barley, 4,000.000

ornamental articles. "Nebraska," is
wrought into lettors of bay, corn and
cereals of all kinds, thus keeping tbe
state that is nearest the centre of the
United Statos prominently before the
the visitors' eyes.
Oregon is represented by W.
Allen and J. 0. Swash, who have an
exceedingly good display of the nat
ural agricultural and manufactured
interests of their State on exhibition.
Wheat is shown which stands six
foot six inches in height, aud avorag-
ed CO bushels to the acre; rye, seven
feet nine inches high; oats six foot
eight inchos high, yielding 12G bush
els to the acre. The exhibit of fruit
and vegetables is truly wonderful,
and comprises among its display ap
ples that weigh three pounds two oz.,
turniDs. 394- pounds j rutabaga 60
pounds; potatoes 8J pounds; cab-
baffe, 41 pounds; beota, carrots ana
radishes, of very large dimensions.
The Columbia River Salmon industry
is well represented. Tho timber in
terest of Oregon is represented in a
manner worthy of her and embraces
many varieties of boautiful wood.
The wool intoreste are shown in an
attractive shape.
Many of the relics of the Greely
relief party have been placed on ex
hibition in the States department.

tent they used is erected, while the
entire camping outfit is on view. The
small boats from the Thetis and Bear,
which first reached tho Greoly suflor

viewed curiosities. It is hard to real
ize iu a land where snow is unknown,
what suffering and death the Greoly
Relief exhibit represents.
WASH ISOTOX LETTER.
! From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Jan. 19, 1885
I was fortunate last week in meot
iff a centloman, an old friend of tbe
President-elect, Cleveland, who comes
from the same section of New York,
and now holds an important office
under Cleveland's commission. "I
have known Cleveland twenty-five
years," said this gontloraan," and be
bos not cbangod a particle in manner
in all that time. He is forty-nine
years old and wieghs about two
hundred and twenty-five pounds. In
religious faith he is a Presbyterian.
I presume that will become tbe Court
church iu Washington when be comes
into tbe Presidency."
"As to tbe Cabinet, the only thing
I know which has been determined
on is that the Presidential advisors
will be selected from those States that
cast theirjelectoral votes for Cleve
land. I say I know this, because he
has said as much to me, and I was
talking to Dan Limont and he inti
mated the same thing. I can tell
you, however, what I believe. I think
New York will get the Treasury. I
cannot Bay who tbe man is, or if he
has been selected. The south proper
will be offered two places: they will
most probably be the Post Office
Department and Attorney-General,
and they will both go to for -South
States.
"Now as to Cleveland socially, be
is different from President Arthur u
very many ways. I have always
liked Arthur. I was a member of the
New York Assembly one term when
he was Governs Morgan's Quarter
master General, and Arthur once tore
the shoulder-straps off a New York
Colonel's shoulders, and gave Lim a
sound whipping besides, for Bome
vulgar insolence. Ait bur is a good
dinner-giver and diner-out Cleve
land is like Gen. Sherman er Geo.
Grant in bis tastes. Neither of the
three care much what tbey eat, so it
is plain and well cooked- Cleveland's
capacity for hard work ia wonderful,
and be haa not bad a day of illneaa
worth ppaaaliog of aince Le wae a
boy."
Abftord ae it may appear, the story
is going the rounds that the Presi
dent will retire from of&r a cxmpara
tively poor roan, having been sinaLle
Uaave anythiru from bis aviary.
Nothing ran well be farther froos tbe
troth. Nexvrly e3 tbe cxracoaee of

for food and clothing, and the ex
pensea of a few entertainment!. The
salary ia $50,000 ft year, and a liberal
estimate of expenses of all kinda
would fall far below $1,000 a month
taking the year through, thus leaving
a net inoome of $38,000 por annum.
Of coarse, it ia not pretended that
more may not be spent, if the incura-
bont of the placobe a man of extrava
trant personal tastea or Lliabits; but
ah -
there ia nothing in the official or so
cial obligations of the position requir
ing a trreater outlay than the figures
named above, and thoro is no good
reason for believing that it will or
dinarily reach that sum. In othor
words, the President is able to do all
that can be iustly expected of him,
oflioially and personally, in the way
oflilving and entertaining while in
office, and still leave it with a compe
tent fortune, as was intended to be
the case when the salary was fixod at
the liberal sum now paid.
The Inauguration . Committee . ore
vigorously at work, and all branches
of the great undertaking evinoe a
ron arkable degree of activity. The
preliminary work at the new Pension
building is being pushed forward,
and everything is almost ready for
stretching the great steel cable which
is to serve as the ridgo pole of the
temporary canvass roof. The canvas

Pension building in which it is pro

is 300 feet long and will form, it is
expected, a ballroom which for spaci

will be fully in keeping with the im

Hot. Ireland's Inaugural Address.
I have repeated to-day the oath of
fidelity to the constitution, and by
implication to the people of the state,
that I took two years ago. I then
expressed some apprehension of my
ability to give entire satisfaction to
all the people. In taking the oath,
I relied largely on the wisdom, pat
riotism and forbearanoo of my coun
trymen. In that trust I have not
been mistaken or deceived. The
generosity and zealous support ex
tended to me by tbe two bouses and
the people has been thorough and full
to'the extent, indeed, of filling me
with gratitude and cementing my de
votion to the best interest of the com
monwealth. True, I have not pleased all I have
not had public gifts in my keeping
for all who sought them for self or
frionds. Sometimes I have found my
self betweon the aims of the selfiuh
and their goal. I now declare that
no act or deed of mine has been dic
tated or done with any other view or
motive than tho general good of the
people.
No one could more fondly seek the
aid and assistance of friends than I
have done; yet when I have heard alb
being responsible myself to tbe
people, I have acted on my own judg
ment. The stumbling block in the paths of
our race, ofton as pnblio servants and
as private individnala, is tbe rugged
boulder of self interest Just to tbe
extent that we can divest ourselves of
that, in tbe same ratio will acta be
promotive of public good, and satis
factory to oaroelvee. If I, in a public
capacity, find myself constantly trim
ming avail, or a member of either
bouM is beaet aa a legislator, with
consideration, self-imposed or threat
opon him, of private ends, onr actions
will be unaatiafavrtory and detrimen
tal to tbe pabl.e aervice. When oar
pabbe aeTTioe ia emled, if we ran take
a retro port and feel that we bave
done our whole duty to the peop!
and oar eonclry, we may well be
satisfied.

hmiRM will be found earnest pubUe
servants, and that when differences
spring up they will be the result of
honest motives. We want stability
in our laws and form of government,
and it is much bettor to conform to
an awkward or improvident law, than
to be constantly changing our system.
We cannot have perfection; and legis
lators often deserve well of their
country by opposing constant changes.
When a few leading subject hwe
boen disposed of we always feel that
we are ready to quit at .any day.
Whatever is done should tend towards
requiring every peraon to lot every

of the people in tbe way of taxes; to
afford spoedy rodroBs in the courts
for wrong; and finally, to leave the
people free from any governmental
control or supervision, except bo far
as may be neoessary to accomplish
the few great ends pointed out

of a series of crimes, murders and
thefts on Texas soil by incursions of
predatory bands from Mexico.
Sinnn it has become known that
noitber Mexico nor the United States
will surrendor one of their own citi
zens to be taken to the othor govern-
mnnt ty Un I i-in1 for prime, the tjoodIa
on the right bank of the Rio Grande
aaea .! .
have become emooiuenoa, ana inev
stand on Mexican soil covered ' with
the blood of our .women and children
and their booty in sight of our peo.
pie.
T havd made reneated ' efforts
through the secretary of state to in
duce a discussion ol tne propriety . oi
so amending tbe treaty of 1801 as to
nrnmir, anv one. no matter whore bis
allegiance may be, to be extradited,
but no results have foil wed. Commer
cial treaties and money affairs seem
to be of more importance than the
blood of our people. ' -
in the last lew clays x nave wruwn
tn the nreaidont. trivinff him full ac
count of the condition of affairs oa
the Rio Grande, and hove also in
formed him that Texas can, if need be,
proteot herself, and minute companies
and state troops on that border have
been directed to protect our people
without delerenoe to nice points oi in
ternational law. If the federal troops,
whoso duty it is nndor the constitu-'
tion. are too tender to ' patrol mat
border, or if a fow companies in the
intarinr In make a show at dress-parade
are of more importance, it would
seem that tueir presence on our son
is of but little practical use.
These remarks are not intonded as
a criticism of the commanding oifioera
in Texas, but a general management
of the war department.
It haa been sutrrrested that a mom-
bers of the two houses may wish to

final adjournment. If this conolusioh
is reached, I hope the adjnurntnent
will be without pay to either members
or employes. If this mode is adopted. '
it would doubtless be satisfactory to
tbe country. By a concurrent resolu-
tion the houses may adjourn for four
teen days.
He Toe Came From Texas.

A strapping six footer walked into
a Bloomington saloon, kept by a
German, the other day, and whipping
out a revolver commanded t
"Gimme a big drink o' tber best
whiskey in the house, and be purty
darned spry about it"
"Py shimminy. I exbose you vhoa
from Texas, aint it t" the old German
replied, making no motion to com
ply with tbe bad man's orders.
"Yer kin jes' bot yer sweet life I'm

"Is dot sof" queried the saloon
man, stolidly.
"Yes, sir. Set out tber drinks; or

"You don'd say !" said tbe Gor
man, taking a couple whiffs of his
pipe. "Say, vos you got some ouf of
