THE GREAT EXPOSITION.
Its Formal Opaning at New Orleans,
New Orleans, Dec. 16.—The day of the
inauguration ceremonies at the World's
Exposition opened bright and cheerful,
and thousands of people made prepara-
tions early in the mornlog to witness the
long expected event. Every public and
private building along the principal
streets was decorated with more or less
elabotrateness. Along the street car
routes the visitors from northern climates
were astonished to find hundreds of or-
ange trees bending beneath their ripe
fruit, and to see the bloom of roses and
the rich verdure of kitchen and flower
gardens. The many steamers bore to the
exposition full complements of passen-
gers.
THE EXPOSITION OPENED,
At 1 o'clock Rev. Dr, Talmage made
the opening prayer. Director General
Bork then transferred the buildings and
grounds to Pres. Riehardson, of the expo-
sition company. President Arthar’s ad-
dress, which bad been received by tele-
graph, was read, and when the conclad-
ing sentence declared the world’s expo-
sition now open was read, the President
closed the electric circuit, and the ma~
chinery was put in motion. Mayor Guil-
lottee then welcomed the many strangers
present,

A MEAN OLD GENERAL ROUTED.
Old “General Debility” has been put
to flight in Kansas, with happy results.
From Brinkley, from Webb Uity, and
from Walnut Ridge, Messrs. P, BR, Ander-
son, E: M. Taylor and F. Pinchback re-
spectively, write that they were all af
flicted with general debility, and re-
ceived solid benefit from Brown's Iron
Bitters: This is pleasant to know, not
only from Kansas people, but for all sec
tions of the country where General De-
bility hus counted victims by the thous.

STARTLING THE KING OF BEASTS,
General H. F. Sickles, of the United
States Army, was telling some friends a
short time ago about his first glimpse of
of a mountain lion. He said, “We
were living up in the mountains in
Oolorado, and had quite a herd of cows,
among them one old cow who wore a
bell. The cows had been missing for
several days, and the boys were ont
searching, and one afternoon I thought
I would try what I could do. So I
mounted a pony and rode quite a dis-
tance, when I thought I heard the cow's
bell. I dismounted and started to prowl
arodnd among the rocks and bushes,
It bad been raining during the early
part of the afternoon, and I had an um-
brella. I tied the pony to a tree and
started. After I had gone a short dis.
fance, I caught a glimpse of the cows.
As 1 started toward them, suddenly they
all lifted their heads, crooked their tails,
and started away on the dead run. I
was just wonderingw hat frightened them,
when I heard a rustling in the bushes
behind me. I turned around, and theres
not ten feet away, was a big mountain
Hon, standing on a rock staring at mae
I assure you I never felt so bashful in
all my life. I hadn't a gun, or even a
jack-knife; and there was that beast
staring and getting ready for a spring!
All at once I thought of my umbrella,
and as quick as thought I raised that
much-borrowed article and spread it
right in Mr, Lion's face! He didn't
stop fo examine, but made one great
jump olear noross a gorge, and when he
lighted gave a yell that shook the hills,
I saw no more of him. When I got
home, the cows were there.”

ORIGIN OF WHIST,
The origin and date of the first play-
ing of whist have of late been much dis.
cussed, particularly in England, where
the game receives a degree and study
well nigh religions. Edmund Hoyle,
the earliest writer of any note on whist,
commonly called the father of the game,
published his first * Short Treaties®
about 1742, in his seventieth year,
Though educated for the law, he loved
cards passionately, and was so skillful a
player that he used to receive a guinea
a lesson for teaching different games
He spent his days and nights at the
card table, which so agreed with him
that he lived to be ninely-seven. Whist
is supposed to be a development of
trump or triumph, played in England
at least as early as the reign as Henry
VIII. Trump is mentioned in a ser-
mon by Latimer, the Bunday before
Christmas (1520, and by Shakespeare
punning on the word triumph, in * An-
touy snd Cleopatra.” Whist is not
named by any writer of the Elizabethan
e a. The earliest reference to whist is
in 1021, in the poems of John Taylor,
the water poet. In the first edition of
Cotton's * Compiete Gamester " (1672),
no allusion is made to whist, but in the
second edition, issued six years later, it
is mentioned as a game ‘commonly
krown in England.” Cotlon's saying
that the game gets ila nano from the
silence observed in playing it, although
generally acceptad, is by many regarded
as incorrect. The proper name is proba.

ORIGIN OF THE MEXICAN PULQUNR
The legend of its discovery is a pretiy
one and has taken so strong a hold upon
the popular fancy that it remains fresh
in memory even at the present day,
having heen the theme of poetry and
the inspiration or art. Ib is said that
when the Toltee Empire was at the
height of its splendor, Tepancaltzin
being upon the throne, a relative of the
King, Papantzin by name, was led,
throgh a happy accident, to observe
the hidden virtues of the maguey. The
gnawing of a rat in the pulpy body of
the plant revealed the secret which na-
ture had hitherto guarded so carefully
and brought to the light that milky
beverage which was destined to be the
source of health and pleasare to countless
thousands. Papanizin seems to have
had some idea of the importance of his
discovery, for he resolved to take the
precious liquid up to court, deeming
that it would be an acceptable present to
the King. His lovely danghter Xochitl
accompanied him, and it was from her
fair hands that Tepancaltzin received
the jarro of pulque, The monarch was
go struck with the beanty of the maid-
en, which had earned for her the name
of “Flower,” that he fell desperately in
love with her, and stealing Ler away
from Papantzin, he kept her a willing
prisoner in a charming retreat near the
City of Tula. Such was the influence
exerted by this Tultec Rosamond over
the heart of her royal admirer that he
afterwards scknowledged her as his
Queen, and placed their son, Meco-
netzin, upon the throne. The latter,
whose names signifies ‘the son of the]
Maguey,” was so incapable of govarning
that he brought a speedy destruction
npon the empire, the capital being des-
troyed by fire, and the old king, with
Xochitl, perishing in the battle. Thus
the past history of pulque is one fitted
to point a moral and adorn a tale. At
the present day, thongh shorn in great
measure of its romance, there still re-
mains much that is picturesque and
poetical, and Mexico presents very few
studies more interesting than that al-
forded by a visit to one of those numer.
ous pulque haciendas with which the
valley abounds.

A JAPANESE HOUSE.
A Now York dealer in Japanese goods
has fitted into the back of his stores
real Japanese house in miniature. Only
two rooms. however, are represented,
corresponding to our
and parlor ; bat these are complete and
exact in detail. The house was brought
to America from Japan in sections, and
was put together by a Japaneso artisan,
after their custom, without niils glue
forming the necessary substitu te. The
material for the framework is of Japa-
nese oodar bamboo; a strong: trans.
parent paper form the little sqns re panes
for the windows, glass being oily used
by the lower classes. The mou! dings of
the rooms are of & very arti atic and
beantiful pattern, and the ceili ngs are
bamboo, braided in different designs
and eolored in different shades of brown.
The floors are especially curiorts, being
made very elastic, a sort of split bamboo
or straw forming a padding un le meath
the squares of matting, which are finish.
ed separately with a neat binding. The
rooms in a Japanese house are « lesig-
pated by the number of pieces of mat-
ing required for each, as the sever 1, six
or five matted room. The recom ition
room is furnished with a sideboard with
a rounded front, placed in one cor ner,
