Wbeuevor a newspaper ?cribo visita a place of no io, tho readers of the Journal , ho represents naturally expect him to glvo an account of hU trip, aoi as we have Just returned from a visit to tbe Ex poaltlon at New Orleans the INTKIXI QE.XCEB roadera will doubtless oxpect us to perform thia duty. Under ordinary circumstance* the task would be compar atively an easy one, but in this Instanos it ia quite difficult, for there was ao inu-h to bo aeon tbat wo know not whero to be gin our account. Ii would be Impossible to give anything Uko a full description of tho sights in Now Orleans. Our timo and spaco aro both too limited, therefore we , will write only of thoso thing? wLich i wcro most impressed upon our moiuory, trusting that tao samo will bo of interest to our readers. THU KXPOSITIO?C building* and grounds invailably strike tho visitor as larger than ho had antic! . ? pated. The buildings cover au area of about eighty-five acres, the Main Build ing alono covering thirty-tbreo acres. Tho grounds are beautifully laid out in walks and drivos, with several email lakes dotted hore aud there. Undor tho largo shade trees comfortable seats aro arranged, Where a person can bit for hours ?ind en joy the gentle Gulf breezo. at tho same time almost staring his oyos out of socket In viewing the scene presented. At con , veulent places throughout the ?rounds i are also to bo fouud restaurants, lunch houses, Boda water and lemonade stands, etc., where tho inuor man may bo refresh r ed cs often aa desired. THE MAIN BUILDING secma to be the centre of attraction. Hero are located all the foroign exhibits, tho displays of the various manufacturing industries of the world, niorchnnta' dis plays, etc., etc. At tho corner of almost every aisle, vendors representing nearly evory nationality on tho globo aro offer ing their wares for sale at unreasonable prices. These vendors are doing a lively business. Over the various stands aro largo signs, "Thoso Goods aro from the Holy Land," .'From India," "From China," etc. Of course, nearly every vis itor purchases something to take homo with hirij, so he can say bo bas something that was inado in Jerusalem, India or some other distant country. Wo have our doubts whether one-third of thc arti cle, offered for sale ever crossed the ocean. The major p?rt of tho visitors think so, howover, and perchase tho wares eagerly, paying three times tho worth of them. The Mexican exhibit in this building is very large and Interesting, as is also the Chlneso and Japanese exhibits. A per son could Hpend a week or two very prof itably in inspecting tho exhibits of tlieso throo countries, wbi.h aro further ad vanced iu tho arts rm. sciences than the average inhabitant of our country would supposo. With tho exception of tho United States exhibit, tho Mexican dis play is generally concoded to be tho host on the grounds. In this building also can bo seen almost every machine known to man at work. In tho centro of Ibo building is Music Hall, whero ono of tho largest organs that bas ever been built stands, and on which an adept musician performs ut a certain hour daily. Facing this organ are arranged soveral thousand chairs, which aro crowded evory day between o and 4 o'clock to ll- en to tho excellent music rendered by tho Mexican Band, which is composed of about ono hundred members, all of whom aro thorough mu Biciaus. Wo wero informed that this Band was sont to tho Exposition at tho expense of the Mexican Government, and that these daily concerU cost tho Exposi tion management nothing. It is in Mu sic Hall wherr -.1 the speeches are deliv ered on occasi. ns when the various States cel?bralo their day. Wednesday, 15th inst., was tho Moxicun Votoraus" Day. Soveral hundred of the old veterans were present, among them Beauregard and Jeff. Davis. Wo got a viow of the former, but found no ono that could point out the latter to us. The numerous aisles throughout the building are wide, and at no placo are you liable to be crowded. Around the building ls a large gallery, which affords a nice promenade and a good viow of the immenso ground Hoar.' It would take a month or two to seo every article exhibit ed in this building. THE O O VE II NM 12 NT ROILDINO was, to ?B, the most interesting of any on the ground. A description of the many thousand articles exhibited In this build ing alono would fill volumes. Every State and Territory In the Union, wo bo lleve, has a display hero. The United States Government occupies the centre with ita display. All tho ap pliances used in tho Hospital service, tho various weapons, Ac., used in both the Navy and Army, models of tho wonder ful maohinea (showing tho improvements that have been made on each), which have beon Invented and patented In this coun try, may be Been here, together with thousands of other interesting things. We found the relics of tho Greoly Arctic Expedition very int :restlng. Tho entire company outfit ls on exhibition. Dum mies ave dressed up in tho clothing worn by the men, and tho old tent they used la erected. Thc Bmall boats from the Thetis and Bear, which first reached the Buffer ers, are also on exhibition. These curios ities, perhaps, attract aa much attention as anything in the building Around the Government display the various State and Territory exhibits are aituated, with largo signa bearing the namo of the State over each apaco. The visitor h*s has no trouble in viewing each State's exhibit separately, though it will take a long time to do ao. Each State and Territory has its separate office and head quarters, where visitors aro always wel come, and whero you will find polite and accommodating gentlemon alwaya on hand to anawer any question or give you any information regarding their respec tive States. Every Slate has its Registry Book, in which visitors oro requested to register their names. The first thing we did upon entering this building waa to reglator in the South Carolina department, which ia in charge at present of Maj. I*. A Ransom, Commissioner Butler's chief clark- We feel proud of South Carolina's display, wbloh la second to none. It would takosevoral columns to do Justice to our exhibit. The immense pyramid of phosphate rock, the beautiful pagoda built of grains, grasses and other agricul tural productions, together a 1th the tasto fbl arrangement of the- preserved fruits, vegetable*, Ac., attract? tho admiration of orery one. AH the manufacturing indus tries of the State are represented, and apeciruens of our timber, ores, Aa, are shown. The StatVs exhibit ?overs a apace of over 10,000 equare lest. The money appropriated by-our I^^?* for this display b? well speut, and ?rill re sult lu untold benefit to South Carolina, v Tho various States bad thouaanda of In teresting novelties displayed that wo would Uko to mention, but we will have to baas on, calling attentl?n to only a few thinks that moat oxd ted our curiosity. fcTtbe Virginia exhibit we saw tba Natural Bridge, which la said by those who have Beon tho real br j; \ bo a fae titnUe of lt. In tho exhibit ?? bi *8tato la shown a chair that was tuc* by George Washington. In tho California department a section of the big tree attract? the attention of ?very passer-by. Tho tree was 80S feet 1 high, and its bark 2 feet thick. Its esti mated ago ls 5700 years. On tho stump, five feet from the ground, thirty-two per sous danced a quadrille The diameter of the section exhibited ls 18 feet, and the section was taken from tho tree 90 feet from tho baso. " Alabama exhibits a solid lump of coal, tho weight of which ls 11J tons. In tho Minnesota exhibit the beautiful Minnehaha Falls aro scon. It is a beauti ful sight to stand in front of them and see tho falling water. We saw in tho Dakota oxhlblt tho stuff ed skin of a small white spotted pony, which, we woro informed, was ridden by Slttiug Hull when Geni Custer was killed. In the gallery abovo this exhibit the stuffed skin of tho groat Mammoth, an extinct species of the Elephant, is seen. Its length is 20 feet, and ita height 10 ftot. This monster elephant, it is said, was found frozen in the ico In the Lona Uiver, Siberia, in the year 177D. In tho ?iisslsbippl department one ol the most novel and cuto things wo saw waa thc "Burial of ? 'ock-robbiu." At the hoad of tho collin, which contains the re mains of tho Kubin, stauds tho bereaved widow Jenny Wron, with a black crepe bonnet, a voil and white strings tied un der her chin. Bbo is surrounded by the chief mournora and all the relatives and friouds ol' tho doceased. Tho little Hy is perched on a tree near by. All tho birds mentioned in the story, which every ono has ofton heard, no doubt, lu childhood, aro to bo seen. Tho birds look vory lite like, aud wero prepared by a young lady of Natchez, M Us. She is evidently a skillful taxidermist. Till: IIOHTIUULTURAL HALI. ?H situated ou a slight elevation in tho southern part of the grounds. Hero every variety of fruits, Howers and plants may besocu, and those who delight in viewing such eau spend suvorul hours very profi tably and with much interest. Tho cocoanut, the banana, the lemon and thc orango trees may all bo boen with tho fruit ou them. In tho A UT OAI.l.KHY lhere is enough lo keep the admirer of pictures busy for weoks. Hero is exhib ited, perhaps, tho greatest und the grand est collection of paintings overseen under one roof. Tho paintings are all num bered, and by rolorrlng to a guide book, which you can pun-huso for a small sum, you will lind the name ol' any picture, also with the name of tho artist Between tho main Building and the Art Gallery stands tho old "Liberty Bell," which was brought down from Philadel phia. The boll is exhibited on tho special car which transported it from Philadel phia, and is guarded day uud night. This bell, which pealed forth the glad tidings of freedom on tho Uh day of July, 1770, was hrat cual hi England in 1752, but was recast in Philudolphia in 1753. Itu weight is 20o0 pounds, and its otiginal coal $1,000. Tho Buggy and Wagon exhibit, thc Stock Barns uud ninny wilier smaller buildings uro all Worth visiting. our liinitud sUiy prevented us from visiting all of tho departments, therefore lhere were muny interesting exhibits we tailed to see. Tho only objection that can bo urged against thc Exposition is that there Ut too much of lt. The Exposition grouuds aro located about ti ? miles from tho business portion of the ?. . Thoroare five or six Hues ot street cars running to the grouuds, bu sides several vory largo steamboats. The fare on tho bouts is 15 couts, or 25 cents for the round trip. On tho street cars the fare is 5 conta each way. The admission feo to tho grounds ls 50 conts, 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 tho gate-keopors ure not allowed to put thoir bauds on the money. Just outside of tho main entranco ls a large circular building, In which ls ex hibited the panorama of the battle ' ol Sedan, which was fought during th? Franco-Prussian war. We will not at tempt a description of this wondorful picture, for it must bo seen to bo appreci ated. It costs 50 cents to see it, but it lt money well spent. THE CITY. New Orleans covers an area of 15C square miles, making, it, in extent, wc beliovo, the largest city in the world. According to tho census of 1880, lt wai the tenth city in tho United States in point of population, there being over 250,OCK inhabitants. The city has over 650 mil? nf streets, and contains over 160 churches, representing almost o very religious creed There are about 20 cemeteries, and aboul tho same number of publia parks. There are also quite a number of charitable in stltutious, such as asylums, hospitals, or phan homes, tte, besides numberless fret schools, some of which are of tho highes grade. The public park? are all lightet at night with eloctrio lights, and are ox ceedlngly beautiful. Canal Street ls the principal thorough fare of New Orleans, and divides the cit} Into "Uppor Town" and "Lower Town' or "French." On this street all tho stree car lines center, and from here yon can gi to any portion or the city for fi vu cents This is very convenient to a stranger, a it enables him to go to any part of tiri city withontmuch trcublo. The cheapes articles we found In New Orleans wert tho tropical fruits. For fivo or ten cent ons caa bay as many oranges and ba nanas as ho can cal with comfort at on time. -The streets of the city are very lil thy as the drainage system is very Imporfecl It ls remarkable that thorn ls not mor Bick noss there than is. Tho sowers ar open along the eldee of tho streets, and stream of water ls flooded through thest carrying the filth Into canals which lea to Lake Pontchartrain. Tho city is boll in a swamp, ?nd the ground upon whle' the houses stand I? four feet lower tho the surface of the Mississippi River. PLACES OP INTEltnsT. The greatest sight to visitors, perhapt is the French Market. We visited it o Sunday morning, at which time it hr soe at Its beet. Hore you can purchase anj thing you may deslro-fruits, mesh gamo, dry goods, clothing, Ac. An excel lent meal can be secured for a very rea sonable price. One oan stand in his tract here, and without'turning around her several d 1 iihront languages spoken. Another Very attractive resort Is Wet End, which ts situated on the abor? ? Lake Pontchartrain. This place ls 1 New Orleans what Concor Island la I New York. Tho visitor who full* to ac West Bod loses one of the best sights 1 the Crescent City. There ts always sow amusement there, especially daring tt Summer season. Tba grounds aro CO ?red with elegant and well- nppolotc ho tels, restaurant*, saloo nt, Ac, arouu which aro beautiful gardens and walk Comfortable scats are arranged at coi vc ni cut placas thxvughout thc ground One of tho gardens, or labyrinths aa it is tanned, ia laid off in narrow walks, on either aide of which is a hedge of ever greens about live feet high. A person may start to walk through lt, and unloaa ho watches very closely, before ho knows lt ho ls hemmed In, and it ia with diffi culty that ho can get out. The garden is indeed very ingeniously arranged, though wo eucceoded, after aeveral attempts, in going through it. From Wost Kuti wo crossed Lake Pontchartrain in a boat to the Old Span ish Fort. Hore we found about tho samo ! attractions aa at West Bud. A large restaurant stands upon tho site of the old Fort. Tho old cannons used to defend tho city are still thore. Tho cometerlos uro of special interest to stranger?. Tho ground being so full of water, it is impossible to tutor tho dead under the ?oil, and hence tho bodies arc placed iu tombs on top of tho ground. Besides tho mauy maguillcout monu ments erected in memory of tho heroes of thu Confederacy, tho most beautiful and costly tombs can be seen. Mauy of tho tombs h e. ve. tho appearance of u largo oven, tho collins hoing placed in them, one on top of tho other, and tho opening then closed with slabs or brick. Thc United States Mint is another place worth visiting. Nothing but nilver dollars are coined hore, and about $40,000 aro turned out dally. Tho officials are very polito, and tako groat pleasuro in Bhowing visitors through the huildlug. Tho Custom House, too, is an interesting piuco to visit. It is built of grauito and marhlo, aud covers a wholo square. In tho main hall there, oro fourteen massive carved marble, pillars, supporting the roof above. These, we were informed, cost $8000 each. Among othoi loading points of interest in Now Orloaua aro tho BUgar sheds, thc levee, thc various squares or parks con taining the statues of Leo, Clay, Jackson and other noted statesmen. New Orlcaus is perhaps ahead of New York lu many respects. A large propor tion of the Inhabitants are of foreign ex traction, and Sunday is obsorved moro a; a day of amusement than a religious day, tbougli tho churches aro always well at tended. With tho exception of tho whole salo houses, noarly all tho stores ai o open and work goos on Sunday as during auy other day. Sunday is a groat day foi theatre;!, horse racing, ?fcc. On Sunda} afternoon wo witnessed a largo parado o: a local organization. In tho procession wore two bands of music. There are hun dreds of gambling houses in full blas night and day. Tho inhabitants of tho city are hospita ble and sociablo, and tako groat pleasuri In imparting information to strangers During our stay thore we boarded wit] Mr. A. C. Hussey, at 157 Calliope street whore wo wero treated moro Uko a guos than n boarder. Quito a number of tin Anderson visitors have made this thel: headquarters, aud all of them will join ui in saying that lt is a most pleasant place to stop at. Wo made our journey to Now Orlean from Atlanta by tho way of Montgomery and Mobile, over the Atlanta & Nov OrleauH Short Line, which is the quickoa and most pleasant route from Atlante Tho scenery along tho route, especial! from Mobile to New Orleans, is grane Tho road runs along tho Qulf coast through marshes and over lakes an? rivers. We advise all travellers to tak ! this rout? when going to tho Expositiot or any portion of tho Southwost. Capt I T. F. McCan d less ls tho Paasonge Agent of this line in Atlanta. Ho bs an elegantly furnished office In tho noi Kimball Ho uso, w boro travellers can get any desired infoi runtlon In regard to rates, connections, &o., to tho West. Now, in conclusion, wo urge ?very ono who can possibly do so to visit the Expo sition. It is a grand, magnificent show, and thia generation will perhaps nover have auother opportunity of witnessing tb* equal. A Cala Week In Charleston. Tho Mutual Aid Association, No. 1, one of tho most powerful benevolent organi zations in tho United States, will give a grand Inter-State P?enlo on Wednesday, May 13th. At this entortalutnent, Capt.
