The Treasurers of the several Churches of the Saluda Baptist Association are re? quested to forward to Maj. E. B. Murray, at Anderson, all of the receipts for moneys which they have paid to Home and For? eign Missions since the last Association, in order to secure full representation to the Association in the Southern Baptist Con? vention. This request only applies to re? ceipts for moneys not paid through the Executive Board. On the 1st of May an excursion train will be run from Newherry and other points along the C. & G. B. B. to Green? ville and return, for the especial accom? modation of school children. Arrange? ments have been made whereby persons from Anderson can go on the regular morning passenger train to Belton, where they will join the excursionists. An ex? tra train will bring the passengers homo from. Belton in the evening. Fare for the round trip from. Anderson to Greeuville is 75 cents. While on our way to New Orleans, we stopped over a day in Atlanta, making our headquarters, while there, at the Na? tional Hotel, which is conducted by Col. D. U. Sloan and son. Col. Sloan is well known in Anderson, where he has many friends. The National has recontly been thoroughly renovated, and now ranks as one of the best hotels in Georgia. The rooms are neat* clean and elegantly fur? nished, and the fare, which is the best the market affords, is prepared in the very best manner. The rates are two dollars per day, and you pay for what you eat and not for style. Mr. B. P. Sloan, who is also well known in our midst, is one of the clerks in the hotel- Whenever any of onr people visit Atlanta we advise them to stop at the National. Col. Sloan, being a native Carolinian, has a warm place in bis heart for South Carolinians, and takes special delight in ministering to their comforts and pleasure. j THE WORLD'S FAIR. I Our Visit to tbo "Crescent City"?Some I Things We Saw There. Whenevor a newspaper scribo visits a I place of note, tbo readers of the journal I he represents naturally expect bim to I giye an account of bis trip, and as we I have just returned from a visit to the Ex I position at New Orleans the Intelli I genceb readers will doubtless expect us j to perform this duty. Under ordinary circumstances the task would be compar? atively an easy one, but in this instance I it is quite difficult, for there was so much to be seen that we know not whero to be I gin our account. It would be impossible I to give anything like a full description of I tbe sights in New Orleans. Our time and spaco are both too. limited, therefore we will write only of those tbinga which i were most impressed upon our memory, I trusting that the same will be of iuterest to our readers. I the exposition buildings and grounds invariably strike the visitor as larger than he had antici I pated. The buildings cover an area of about eighty-five acres, the Main Build j ing alone covering thirty-threo acres. I The grounds are beautifully laid out in I walks and drives, with several small lakes I dotted here and there. Under the largo j shade trees com for tab! o seats are arranged, I where a person can sit for hours and en? joy the gentle Gulf breeze, at tbe same j time almost staring his eyes out of socket I in viewing the scene presented. At con I venient places throughout the grounds rare also to be found restaurants, lunch I houses, soda water and lemonade stands, I etc., where the inner man may be refresh I ed as often as desired. the vain building I seems to be the contre of attraction. Here are located all ihe foreign exhibits, I the displays of tbe various manufacturing I industries of the world, merchants' dis I plays, etc., etc. At tbe corner of almost every aisle, vendors representing nearly j every nationality on tbe globe are offer ? j ing their wares for sale at unreasonable I prices. .These vendors are doing a lively :| business. Over the various stands are j large signs, "These Goods are from the Holy Land," "From India," "From I China," etc. Of course, nearty every vis I itor purchases something to take home I with him, so he can say he has sometbing I that was made in Jerusalem, India or some other distant country. We have I our doubts whether one-tbird of the arti? cles offered for sale ever crossed the ocean. The major part of tho visitors think so, however, and pnrchase the wares eagerly, j paying three times tbe worth of them. I The Mexican exhibit in this building is very large and Interesting, as is also the ] Chinese and Japanese exhibits. A per I son could spend a week or two very prof j itably in inspecting tho exhibits of tbese I three countries, which are further ad? vanced in the arts and sciences tban tbe I average inhabitant of our country would I suppose. With the exception of tho j United States exhibit, tho Mexican dis? play is generally conceded to be the best j on the grounds. In this building also can bo seen almost j every machine known to man at work, j In the centre of tbe building is Music Hall, where one of the largest organs I that has ever been built stands, and on I which~an adept musician performs at a. j certain honr daily. Facing this orgau I are arranged several thousand chairs, which are crowded every day between 3 I and 4 o'clock to listen to the excellent I music'rendered by the Mexican Band, J which is composed of about one hundred I members, all of whom are thorough mu I siciaus. We wero informed that this Band was sent to the Exposition nt the expense of the Mexican Government, and that these daily concerU cost the Exposi? tion management nothing. It is in Mu I sio Hall where all tbe speeches are deliv? ered on occasions when the various States J celebrate their day. Wednesday, 15th inst., was the Mexican Veterans* Day. I Several hundred of the old veterans were I present, among them Beauregard and I Jeff. Davis. We got a view of the former, I but found no one that could point out the latter to us. I The numerous aisles throughout the building are wide, and at no place are yon liable to be crowded. Around tbe building is a large gaUery, which affords a nice promenade and a good view of the immense ground floar.' It would take a month or two to see every article exhibit? ed in this building. the government building was, to us, the most interesting of any on the ground. A description of the many thousand articles exhibited in this build? ing alone would fill volumes. Every State and Territory in the Union, wo be? lieve, has a display here. The United States Government occupies the centre with its display. AU the ap? pliances used in the Hospital service, tbe various weapons, <fca, used in both the Navy and Army, models of tho wonder? ful machines (showing the improvements that have been made on each), which have been invented and patented in this coun? try, may be seen here, together with thousands of other interesting things. We found the relics of the Grecly Arctic Expedition very interesting. The entire company outfit is on exhibition. Dum? mies are dressed up in the clothing worn by the men, and the old tent they used is erected. The small boats from tbe Thetis and Bear, which first reached the suffer? ers, are also on exhibition. These curios? ities, perhaps, attract as much attention as anything in the building. Around the Government display the various State and Territory exhibits are situated, with large signs bearing the name of the State over each spaco. The visitor has has no trouble in viewing each State's exhibit separately, though it will take a long time to do so. Each State and Territory has its separate office and head? quarters, where visitors are always wel? come, and where you will find polite and accommodating geutlemon alwaj's on hand to answer any question or give you any information regarding their respec? tive States. Every State has its Registry Book, in which visitors are requested to register their names. The first thing we did upon eutering this building was to register in the South Carolina department, which !j in charge at present of Maj. L. A. Ransom, Commissioner Butler's chief clerk. We feel proud of South Carolina's display, which is second to none. It would take several columns to do justice to our exhibit. The immense pyramid of phosphate rock, tho beautiful pagoda built of grains, grasses and other agricul? tural productions, together w Ith the taste? ful arrangement of the preserved fruits, vegetables, &c, attracts the admiration of every one. All the manufacturlngindus tries of the State are represented, and specimens of our timber, ores, tfce., are shown. The State's exhibit eovors a space of over 10,000 square feet. Tho money appropriated by'our Legislature for this display is well spent, and will re? sult in untold benefit to South Carolina. The various States had thousands of in? teresting novelties displayed that wo would liko to mention, but we will have to pass on, ealltng attention to only a few things that most excited our cu> jsity. In the Virginia exhibit we saw the Natural Bridge, which is said by those who have seen tho real bridge to be a fac simile of it. In the exhibit of this State is shown a chair that was used by George Washington. "In tho California department a section of the big treo attracts the attention of every passer-by. The tree was 308 feet high, and its bark 2 feet thick. Its esti? mated ago is 3700 years. On tho stump, five feet from the ground, thirty-two per? sons danced a quadrille. The diameter of the section exhibited is 18 feet, and the Bection was taken from the tree 96 feet from the base. * Alabama exhibits a solid lump of coal, the weight of which is m tons. In the Minnesota exhibit the beautiful Minnehaha Falls are seen. It is a beauti? ful sight to stand in front of them and sec the falling water. We saw in the Dakota exhibit the stuff? ed skin of a small white spotted pony, which, wo wero iuformed, was ridden by Sitting Bull whenGon. Custer was killed. In the gallery above this exhibit the stuffed skin of tho great Mammoth, an extinct species of the Elephant, is seen. Its length is 2G feet, and its height 16 feet. This monster elephant, it is said, was found frozen in the ice in the Lena River, Siberia, in the year 1779. In the Mississippi department one of J the most novel and cute things we saw was the "Burial of Cock-robbin." At the head of tbe coflin, which contains the re? mains of the Robin, stands the bereaved widow Jenny Wren, with a black crepe bonnet, a veil and white strings tied un I der her chin. She is surrounded by the I chief mourners aud all the relatives and friends of the deceased. The little fly is perched on a tree near by. All the birds mentioned in the story, which every one has often heard, no doubt, in childhood, I are to be seen. The birds look very life? like, and were prepared by a young lady of Natchez, Miss, She is evidently a skillful taxidermist. THE HORTICULTURAL HALL is situated on a slight elevation in tho southern part of the grounds. Here every variety of fruits, flowers and plants may be seeu, and those who delight in viewing such can spend several hours very profi? tably and with much interest. The oocoanut, the banana, the lemon and the orange trees may ull be seen with the I fruit ou them. In the ABT GALLERY there is enough to keep the admirer of pictures busy for weeks. Here is exhib J ited, perhaps, the greatest and the grand I est collection of paintings ever seen under one roof. The paintings are all num? bered, and by relerring to a guide book, j which you can purchase for a small sum, you will find the name of any picture, also with the name of the artist. Between the maiu Building and the Art Gallery stands the old "Liberty Bell," which was brought down from Philadel? phia. The bell is exhibited on the special car which transported it from Philadel? phia, and is guarded day and night. This bell, which pealed forth the glad tidings of freedom on the4th day of July, 1776, was first cast iu Englaud in 1752, but whs recast in Philadelphia in 1753. Its weight is 2080 pounds, :uid its original cost $1,000. Tho Buggy ?ud Wagon exhibit, the Stock burns ami many uihcr smaller buildings uro ail worth visiting. Our liuiitud stay prevented us from visitiug all of the departments, therefore there were many iuterestiug exhibits we failed to see. The only objection that can bo urged against the Exposition is that there is too much of it. The Exposition grounds are located about fivo miles from tho business portion of the city. There are five or six liues of street cars running to the grounds, be? sides several very large steamboats. The fare on the bouts is 15 cents, or 25 cents for the round trip: On tho street cars the fare is 5 cents each way. The admission fee to the grounds is 50 cents, which you deposit in a box as you go in. Nothing but an American half-dollar is taken?two quarters will not answer. No tickets are used, and the gate-keepers are not allowed to put their hands on the money. Just outside of the main entrance is a large circular building, in which is ex? hibited tho panorama of the battle' of Sedan, which was fought during the Franco-Prussian war. We will not at? tempt a description of this wonderful picture, for it must be seeu to bo appreci? ated. It costs 50 cents to see it, but it is money well spent. THE CITY. New Orleans covers an area of 150 square miles, making it, in extent, we believe, the largest city in the world. According to tho census of 1330, it was the tenth city in tho United States iu point of populatiou, there being over 250,000 inhabitants. Tho city has oyer 650 miles of streets, and contains over 160 churches, representing almost every religious creed. There are about 20 cemeteries, and about ! the same number of public parks. There are also quite a number of charitable in? stitutions, such as asylums, hospitals, or? phan homes, <tc, besides numberless free schools, some of which are of the highest grade. The public parks are all lighted at night with electric lights, and are ex? ceedingly beautiful. Canal Street is the priucipal thorough? fare of New Orleans, aud divides the city into "Upper Town" and "Lower Town" or "French." On this street all the street car lines center, and from here you can go to any portion of the city for five cents. This is very convenient to a stranger, as itf enables him to go to any part of the city without much trouble. Tho cheapest articles we found in New Orleans wore the tropical fruits. For five or ten cents one cau buy as many oranges and ba? nanas as ho can eat with comfort atone time. ?The streets of the city are very filthy, as the drainage system is very imporfect. It is remarkable that there is not more sickness there than is. The sewers are open along tbe sides of tho streets, and a stream of water i. looded through these, carrying the filth into canals which lead to Lake Pontchartrain. Tho city is built in a swamp, and the ground upon which the houses stand is four feet lower than the surface of the Mississippi River. FLAGES OE INTEREST. The greatest sight to visitors, perhaps, is the French Market. We visited it on Sunday morning, at which time it is seen at its best. Here you can purchaso any? thing you may desire?fruits, meats, gamo, dry goods, clothing, itc. An excel? lent meal can be secured for a very rea? sonable price. One can stand in his tracks here, and without turning around hear several different languages spoke J. Another verjr attractive resort is West End, which is situated on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain. This place is to Now Orleans what Coney Island is to Now York. The visitor who fails to see West End loses one of tho best sights in the Crescent Cit}'. There is always some amusement there, especially during the Summer season. The grounds aro cov? ered with elegant and well appointed hotels, restaurants, saloons, Ac., around which aro beautiful gardens and walks. Comfortable seats arc arranged at con? venient places throughout the grounds. One of the gardens, or labyrinths as it is termed, is laid off in narrow walks, on either side of which is a hedge of ever? greens about five feet high. A person may start to walk through it, and unless he watches very closely, before he knows it he is hemmed in, and it is with diffi? culty that ho can get out. Tho garden is indeed very ingeniously arranged, though wo succeeded, after several attempts, in going through it. From West End we crossed Lake Fontchartrain in a boat to the Old. Span? ish Fort. Here we found about tho same attractions as at West End. A large restaurant stands upon the site of the old Fort. The old cannons used to defend the city are still there. The cemeteries aro of special interest to strangers. Tho ground being so full of water, it is impossible to iutor tho doad under the soil, and hence tho bodies are placed in tombs on top of tho ground. Besides tho many magnificent monu? ments erected in memory of tho heroes of tho Confederacy, tho most beautiful and costly tombs can be soen. Many of the tombs have the appearance of a large oven, tho coffins being placed in them, one on top of the other, and the opening then closed with slabs or brick. The United States Mint is another place worth visiting. Nothing but (silver dollars are coined hero, and about $40,000 are turned out daily.- The officials are very polite, and take great pleasure in showing visitors through the building. The Custom House, too, is an interesting place to visit. It is built of granite and marble, and covers a whole square. In the main hall there are fourteen massive carved marble pillars, supporting the roof above. These, we were informed, cost $8000 each. Among othei leading points of interest in New Orleans are the sugar sheds, the levee, the various squares or parks con? taining the statues of Loe, Clay, Jackson and other noted statesmen. New Orleans is perhaps ahead of New York in many respects. A large propor? tion of the inhabitants are of foreign ex? traction, and Sunday is observed more as a day of amusement than a religious day, though tho churches are always well at? tended. With the exception of the whole? sale house:-, nearly all the stores are open, and work goes on Sunday as during any other day. Sunday is a great day for theatres, horse racing, etc. Ou Sunday afternoon we witnessed a large parade of a local organization. In the procession wore two bands of music. There are hun? dreds of gambling houses hi full blast night and day. The inhabitants of the city are hospita? ble and sociable, and take great pleasure in imparting information to strangers. During our stay there wo boarded with Mr. A. C Hussey, at 157 Calliope street, whore wc were treated more like a guest than a boarder.' Quite a numbor of the Anderson visitors have made this their headquarters, and all of them will join us in saying that it is a most pleasant placo to stop at. Wo made our journey to New Orleans from Atlanta by the way of Montgomery and Mobile, oyer the Atlanta & New Orleans Short Lino, which is the quickest and most pleasant route from Atlanta.' The scenery along the route, especially from Mobile to New Orleans, is grand. The road runs along the Gulf coast, through marshes and over lakes and rivers. We advise ail travellers to take ! this route when going to tho Exposition or any portion of the Southwest. Capt. T. F. McCaudless is tho Passonger Agent of this line in Atlanta. He has an elegantly furnished office in the new Kitnball House, where travellers can get ! any desired information in rogard to rates, connections, &c, to the West. Now, in conclusion, wo urge ovory ono who can possibly do so to visit the Expo? sition. It is a grand, magnificent show, and this generation will perhaps never have another opportunity of witnessing its equal. A Gala Week In Charleston. The Mutual Aid Association, No. 1, one of the most powerful benevolent organi? zations in the United States, will give a grand Inter-State Picnic on Wednesday, May 13th. At this entertainment, Copt. F. D. Dawson, Editor of the News and \Cburier, will make an address of welcome, j Gov. Thompson, Liout-Gov. Shoppard, Senators Hampton and Butler, and other distinguished gentlemen, and the editors ,of every paper in this State and loading cities from adjacent States have beon in? vited, and are expected to attend. The Grand Lodge, I. O. 0. F., of tho I State of South Carolina, and the Sport i man's Association of the Carolinas meets tho same week, on May 13th, 14th and 15th. The Charleston Driving Park As? sociation, of which Capt. F. W- Wagener is President, propose to have on their splendid course two days of fine racing. The railroads should furnish excursion rates at the lowest possiblo figure, so that all can attend at this delightful season. Our friends in Charleston bid us a whole souled welcome. Your Chance to Visit tho Exposition. Mr. Editor: Allow me to state through your columns that I have at last succeed? ed in securing quite a cheap rate to New Orleans. The old reliable Atlanta & West Point Railroad are always abroast of the times, and through thorn, and the Gen. Passenger Agent of the Bichmond & Danville Road, the fare has been reduc? ed so that all of our people can hare a chance to visit the Exposition before it cbscs. I have fixed on Tuesday, the 5th day of May, to leave Anderson, and, if the number of passengers is secured, will ran a through car to New Orleans with? out change. The rate will be fixed only for that day, and I respectfully ask all persons who desire to take advantage of this cheap rate to inform me of the fact on or before Saturday, the second day of May. Don't put it off until tho last day to decide, as you may bo disappointed, for unless tho requisite number is raised the car will not be ordered. The fare for round trip will be $14.35 good for 10 days. Romember that the A. & W. P. Roads offer you tho quickest trip, and the finest scenery of any other route to the Expo* sition. The magnificient view of tho Gulf coast en route is worth tho price of the ticket. So don't be bashful, but send in your names at once, and take one of the most delightful trips that will probably ever be offered you again in a lifetime. L. P. Smith, Agent A. & W- P. R. R.
