ATLANTA'S EXPOSITION.
It WUI Be Dne of the Grandest
Shows of the Age.
Tho Gate City of the South Is Now Mak
ing Active Preparations for the Cot
ton States and International
Exposition.
Every day brings clearer evidence of
the fact that the Cotton States and In
ternational exposition to be held at At
lanta September 18 to December 31
will, indeed, be international in its
scope of usefulness and interest. Tho

of the greatest expositions of the age.
A glance far over the area of Pied

dotted with foundations for the hand
some buildings now in course of con
struction; a sftrvey of one hundred and
eightv-niueacres of land fairly growing
into a garden of loveliness, with a
glimpse of the splendid building going
up in the name of the national govern
ment on one of the highest elevations,
overlooking a do/.en other handsome
structures scattered hero and there
amid the rising hills and sunny slopes;

lake whose waters cover thirty acres
and touch the threshold of all the main
buildings Throughout the park—these,
with a knowledge of the efforts being
put forth by all the great nations of the
civilized world for comprehensive ex
hibits, arc quite sufficient to show how
great a mistake it is to fancy that the !
Cotton States and International exposi- ;
tion has been built upon a trilling plan, j
The site selected for the Atlanta ex- j
position is a natural amphitheatre, two i
miles or so from the center of the city j
and in the direction that the wealthy i
folk are following in choosing their
building sites.

thoroughfare, and for a mile or more is
lined- on either side with fine houses.
Some of them are set in the midst of
handsome grounds, which is no idle
tiling in this southern country, where
the soil does not encourage landscape
gardening and the hot summer sun
burns out the grass roots. The gov
ernor's mansion occupies a sightly cor
ner and is a spacious structure of brick;
but the hotels and shops and boarding
houses are treading closely on its heels,
and its most noteworthy neighbors

fashioned frame structure with a por
tico of long, slim pillars, in which Gen.
Sherman resided when he visited the

city in 1801. It is a boarding house
now.
Peach tree street is decorated by a
trolley, which turns off at the right
after the fine houses are passed, and
heads down a broad highway to Pied
mont park. It is the only means of
reaching the exposition grounds at
present, but there will be half a dozen
street-car lines to the gates before Sep
tember, and the Southern railway,
•whose tracks puss the grounds, expects
to furnish all the transportation needed
for a five-cent fare. Piedmont park

who wear flannel suits of wide black
and white stripes, and have their legs
chained together so that they cannot
run away. With every gang of labor
ers is a guard, carrying a ride as an in
ducement for them to behave them
selves.
The bottom of the amphitheater is
being excavated for a lake of thirty
acres, winding around among the build
ings in terpentine fashion. It will he
covered with electric launches and gon
dolas. There are to be a dozen great
buildings, pictures of which appear
with this article. The Manufactures
building is 210 by 370 feet, the
Transportation building 126 by 413 and
the Art gallery 100 by 245. The women
have a building to themselves 100 by
220 feet, and the negroes likewise 100
by 800 feet in size. The designs of most
of tliein are artistic, and several are in
tended to be permanent.
UNCLE SAM'S EXHIIJIT.
It I'romlM'S to Ku an InteroHtins as Wan
the Chicago Display.
In view of recent diplomatic squab
bles the exhibit of the state depart
ment at Atlanta will be particularly in
teresting. It will be divided into two
groups: First, the history of the
United States; second, the workings of
the state department. Under the first
group will ho presented such historic
relics as the Declaration of Independ
ence, in fac-simile, the original docu
ment being too far decayed to be re
moved. a portrait of Thomas Jefferson,
the desk upon which lie wrote the Dec
laration of Independence, his papers,
notes, memoranda, etc., a photograph
of Monticello, Jefferson's home. A not
able feature will be the photographs
of the signers of the Declaration of In
dependence this will bo the most
complete set ever shown—Franklin's
writings, Peel's portrait of Washing
ton, the treaty of alliance and friend
ship with France, and other historical
relics of like nature. Under the perjod
of the constitution will be exhibited
photographic copies of original docu
ments and of the framers of that in
strument; explanatory maps showing
the growth of the representation of
the United States abroad; the treaty of
the purchase of Louisiana; the treaty
of peace with Great Britain; the
treaty with Spain for Florida; the
treaty with Mexico when Texas
was admitted as a state, and
the treaty with Russia when Alaska
was purchased. These will be accom
panied by Washington's first procla
mation, Jefferson's proclamation an
nexing Louisiana, the nullification
proclamation, the emancipation proc
lamation and the seal of the United
Mtates; sample written instructions to
diplomatic officers; letters of the presi
dent to the heads of foreign gov
ernments; documents of the consular
service, and consular regulations, ar
chives, rolls, libraries, accounts, stat
utes, commissions, pardons and pass
ports will be shown.in the proper man
ner. In addition will be displayed let
ters from the heads of foreign govern
ments—from Louis, king of France,
acknowledging receipt of the letter, re
calling Thomas Jefferson as minister to
France December 11, 171)0; a letter from
Napoleon llonaparte, announcing his
marriago to Princess Marie Louise,
April 5, 1810; from Victoria, queen
of England and empress of India, an
nouncing the birth of the prince of
Wales, and other letters of like char
acter. The department will also ex
titbit a collection of drawin fs of the
ministers of foreign affairs and the
secretaries of state from 1781 to 1893,
thirty-five in all, mid fifteen oil paint
ings of secretaries of slate.
There was probably no exhibit at the
world's fair which attracted more wide
spread interest than the exhibit of the
United States fish commission. The ex
hibit of this commission at Atlanta
will be even more complete and inter
esting. The space allotted to the ex
hibit is in the southwest corner of the
Government building, and its area is
upwards of eight thousand square feet.
The aquarium tanks will be arranged
in a grotto, with aisles lighted from
the water. The scientific iffvestiga
tions of the commission will be illus
trated by casts of fish and other an
imals colored from life; collections of
sponges, oysters, and other shell fish,
crabs, lobsters and shrimp, corals, sea
lilies, sea pans and numerous others
brought up by the dredging and
trowling apparatus of the vessels of
the commission. This apparatus will
also be shown. In addition to sea fish
the numerous and beautiful fresh-water
game and food fishes of the south will
be shown.
The bureau of forestry will exhibit
its work in the line of the introduction
of useful trees to suitable localities,
the system of orchard protection by
planting surrounding forests and
hedges, the method of stopping the in-

glass transparencies, showing a series
of views of the most important timber '
trees, surrounded by transparencies of |
the leading sawmill establishments of
the south. The usual complement of
exhaustive maps, statistical tables,.and

I marine a street one-third of a milo
long, with a coutinuous frontage of
picturesque structures on either side.
The street begins at the lowest point of
Piedmont avenue, and ascends the hill
toward Bleckley avenue, making a
long curve until it reaches Jackson
street. In the foreground will bo the
I Mexican village, the Guatemala vil
lage, the Oriental village, the Dahomey
colony, the Esquimau village and the
wigwams of the northwest Indians.
Passing these, the Scenic railroad, with
its undulating surface and at the far
end a long cavernous Inclosure,
shrouded in darkness, and only lit on
alternate trips of the car, and at such
tiroes for an instant only the dazzling
effects of the electric light show hun
dreds of scintillating points, icicles,
stalactites and stalagmites, and further
on a reflection from the sunlight in the
d ;eo gorge of the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. This dazzling spectacle is
made all the more effective by the in
stantaneousness with which it con
fronts the eye.
On the other side of the street appear
in quick succession Hagenback's arena
of trained wild animals, Inside of
which the visitor may see an elephant
actually riding a bicycle, lions holding
hoops for horses to jump through, and
other spectacles equally ma/ velous.
Attached to this is a house ono hun
dred feet square, inhabited b3' seven
hundred and forty monkeys, represent
ing almost every known species.
Passing along, the Ostrich farm, the
Palace of Illusions, the Mystic Maze,
the South Sea islanders, the Chinese
village and the Japanese gardens ap
pear in succession. The grand culmina
tion of the amusement features at the
end of the street is Buffalo Bill's Wild
West show.
The Oriental village will be produced
by Mr. Nageeb J. Arbeely, of New
York, a distinguished Syrian educated
at Beyroot, and for some years a resi
dent of this country, who is editor and
publisher of the Arabic newspaper
Kawkab America (Star of America).
Mr. Arbeely has already closed con
tracts with a number of oriental mer
chants who will offer their wares in
the different villages. The little com
munity will be peopled by natives from
Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, Syria and
Persia.
The American villages from Mexico,
Guatemala and other localities will be
very carefully reproduced, and will
contain much of ethnological interest.
In the Mexican village, for instance,
will be shown photographs of bas-re
liefs taken from the famous ruins of
Palenquc. Among these relics will be
a bas-relief of a cross, which far ante
dates the advent of Columbus, showing
that tho Toltecs must have had some
commerce with Europeans in the early
centuries.
In the Guatemala village the musical
stones, peculiar to that country, will
bo exhibited. Those stones emit tones
wlier struck, and, by a proper grada
tion r f size, the scale is formed. In this
way ii kind of music, not unlike that of
the Xylophone, is produced.
The Indian villntro will be nroduced

POETICAL PICKINCwr.
A Sprynl.lylle.
Ohl the gentle graS* Is growing In the vale and
on the hill;
We cannot hear it growing, still 'tis growing
very st'll;
And in the spring it springs to life with glad
ness and delight;
I see it growing ay by day—it also grows by
night.
And now once more as mowers whisk the
whiskers from the lawn,
They'll rouse us from our slumbers at the
dawning of the dawn.
It saddens my poor heart to think what we
should do for hny,
If grass instead of growing up should grow the
other way.
Its present rate of growing makes it safe to
say that soon
'Twill cover all the hills at morn and in the
afternoon;
'Twill carpet plain and meadow, common, park
and dale and lea.
In fact, 'twill cover all the land not covered by
tho sea.
If it keeps growing right along it shortly will
be till.
It humps Itself through strikes and legal holi
days and all.
'Tis growing up down all tho streets and cloor
around tho squ ire;
One end is grow ing in tho ground, the othoi in
the air.
If earth possessed no grass, methinks its
beauty would be der.d;
We'd have to make tho best of it end use
bale 1 hay Instead.
I love to sing its praises in away none can
surpass,
And poets everywhere are warned to "Please
keep off tho grass!"
—Nixon Waterman, fn Puck.
Lullaby.
Swinging and swaying to and fro,
Crooning some ditty quaint and low—
A woman young, a woman fair,
With gclden glints in her t wny hair—
in tho old-time rocking chair,
llalf way lost in the cushions deop,
Singing her baby boy to sleep.
Swinging and swaying slowly, more slow,
The lullaby sinking low, and more low—
The fair little head to her bosom prossod
Will never sink to a sweeter rest.
A haven moro sure than his mother's breast.
Nor find, wherever his lot may lie,
A swoeicr song than her lullaby. *"*.
Swinging rnd swaying to and fro,
Slowly—softly— and still more slow—
The girlish face with its tender care
Making a picture sweet and rare,
Framed by tho old-time rocking chair;
Almost lost in tho cushions deep.
Mother and baby—fast asleep.
—Laura Derteaux Dell, in Good Housekeeping.
A Little While.
'Tis such a little while we walk togethor along
life's way;
Some weary feet that march beside us falter
each passing day,
Dear friends that greet us in the rr.< -nlng
vanish o'er It is noon,
And tender voices melt away in silence—a
broken tune.
We long to seo the dear, familiar faces, but all
in vain#
The footsteps that kept pace with ours so
bravely come not again;
We catch the echo of a voice grown silent,
faint and afar;
A dim. whito face gleams out among the shad
ows like some pale star.
'Tis such a little while for loving kindness or
cold disdain-
To smooth tho way for weary feet that falter
or cause them pain.
A littlo while and it were unavailing kind
words to say,
For those who walked but yesterday beside us
have passed away.
—Llzzio Clark Hardy, in Chicago Record.
I Shall Not Pass Again This Way.

I want to give tho oil of joy for tears,
Tho faith to conquer crowding doubts and

I want to gi -o good measure running o'er,
And into angry hearts I want to pour

I want to give to others hope and faith;
I want to do all that the Master salth;
I want to livo aright from day to day;
