Theyear with its burden has flown Into the past, while to day there is thrown Around us the memories of pleasure and pain, As it hlcnds with our joys brings a mournful refrain. We shout hurrah! witli hearts of glee, Our Country again is the home ol the free. Our proud Stale, no more in humility leels The iron tread of the vandal's heel. The bright star of Hope kindly beams O'er our fair City, its radiant gleams; Htightening our future, our pride to swell, O o - the .Vein ttailrond and the Artesian Well. In your joys we’ve rejoiced, in your sorrows wept, As we stood by the grave of those who slept; II e vc given our blessing to the fair young bride, And welcomed the stranger to our fireside.

Hu look the small hands in his, ami looked into the tearful eyes with a gase that made them, droop till the long lashes alotost touched her blushing checks. “Found lwr. hey?” cried Farmer Tarlelon m n hearty voice, as he appeared at tbe door. “I thought she was som’era round, as I told you. Less. But where's Agnes?” he asked, look ing about, “I want her to come and welcome her new ma.” But Agnes had shut herself in her own room, furious with rage and disappointment. “It's all that old maid’s fault, too!” she pouted. “I bat* her worse than ever, and now I've got to live iu the same house with her, after alL” But Leslie Garnet never regret ted the fate which bad bestowed on him a loving little wife, instead tics somewhat in the city and out at the grounds. Of coarse, there will be countless cafes and lunch counters. Yet ali these are inad equate to the proper entertain ment of the enormous number of visitors that are naturally ex- pected. To an unusual degree, therefore, this want will be met by- private families. It is not real ized perhaps, in the North, how much suffering has prevailed in the South since the late civil war, among the cultured aud once wealthy |ieoplc, from poverty growing out of that conflict. Peo ple of this general character, with line tastes and enviable traits, but with sadly wasted purses, have consented to receive visitors dur ing tbe fair; and, in order to put the former and the latter in com municalion with each other, a de partment of information aud ac c iinmodation has been organized, under the auspices of the Exposi tion management, with ah office at No. 1K4 Gravicr street. This burcan, conducted by responsible persons and making no charge for services to applicants, has sent circulars all over town by the bushel, to aserrtain who will give board and lodging to |ieaplc com iug to the fair, and on what terms. Ths answers have been codified; and it appears that ample accoin modations, at prices ranging fron $1 to |3 a day, can be furnisher! in this wny to 10,000 guests. The letters of inquiry from persons in tending to visit New Orleans this winter and desirous of securing quarters at some ol these places, will be promptly answered by the bureau; and further negotiations will be conducted when asked. It will assist the bureau greatly in this task if applicants signify a preference for some particular part of the city. With this in view, a study of the history, top ography and features of New Or leans in advance, may profit those who intend to come to the fair. At this point the Mississippi river makes a double curve, like a letter S turned down upon its side. The Crescent City original ly lay on the North shore of the bend toward one’s right hand. Now it reaches along up stream into the other one, and has a length of seven miles, with aa average breadth of twa On the North, the city Is skirted by Lake Pon chartrain, to which shipping gets access from the older parts of the city by canals, and from which it passes out eastward to Mobile, Pensacola and other coast harbors A large portion of the city is bo low high water mark in tlie river; and it has hern neccessary to protect it, therefore, not only on the water front, but also along its eastern and western boundaries by strong levees. Areas of con siderablc size in the city limits arc still little more than swamps or barren pastures and various bayous intersect the town, giving outlet to sewage that could not otherwise be easily disposed of. Tbe older part of the city, the French and Spanish qnkrter, is to the eastward, or down strssm. The exposition grounds are well np stream, in the south western part of the town. Qaiint archi tecture, the French tongue, no lit> tW culture and much romantic in terest characterize the ancient re gion most remote from the Fair; while newer notions and ;-ei hapw more wealth arc to be found in nearer proximity to the city pa, ;. Five lines of horse cars traverse the city east and west; and num erous steamers will ply between the lower landings and exposition wharf all winter. While thedown town boarding houses will be tbe cheapest, doubtless, their patrons will need a little inure time to go to and from tbe fair every day. Tbe cooking in New Orleans is largely French and generally good; so that visitors may expect to fare in these private houses quite as well, at least, as at many Northern summer resorts. Major IE. A. Burke, Directoi- General of the Fair, anil the city government iieid a prolonged ami earnest conference last week over cab rales, show licenses anil many other matters of much importance to exhibitors and sight-seers. An endeavor is being made to secure, through the city council, a reduc tion in the cab tariff. At pres ent it is $2 25 a mile. The cab drivers h:.ve an association which is not willing to reduce prices. 1 he street cars alone are inade quate to the traffic. The Coney Island steamboats, however, swift and capacious, will probably come down here for service dur- ing the fair, and formidable com petition with land transportation routes is thus promised. The management has refused to admit any “side shows” to tb« Exposition grounds; aud has even refused an offer of $100,000 for • privilege of this character. It is designed to give admission, for one fifty cent ticket to all that is worth seeing in the whole exhibi tion. And in order to preserve the dignity and swell the treas ury receipts of the exposition, tbe Director-General is trying to in duce the municipal authorities to keep all catch-penny shows at least three blocks away from the grounds by withholding license to all proprietors applying for suck. Theatrical and circus and pano rama managers are here in great numbers, anil they aim to reap aa big a harvest as possible during the gay season now so close at band. A qnestion of much general in terest not yet decided is whether the exhibition will be closed on Sunday or not. The management are evidently divided in opiuftm; and it is doubtful whether Gen. Hawley’s policy at the Centennial exposition will be carricdwot^^ rigidly. However, it is flti ma ted, semi officially, that the ma chinery, at least, will stop un Sunday.—/Vow an occasional Correspondent of the Tribune. Inconsistent. It looks rather inconsistent, says the Albany Medium, for the grand jury or a county to make a raid on the gamblers, aud a town in the same county to Iieen* wheels of fortune ami other game* of chance. Almost every week something of this sort is seen on the streets of Albany, surrounded by a crowd of men and boys, of all ages and all shades of complexion, “taking a chance” with as modi eagerness as any gambler feels at a laro bank. If, as good jieople tell us, there are no degrees in sin, then there are certainly none in gambling. If it be a sin to stake a thousand dollars on a a game ol cards, it is equally as wicked to take a ten cent “chance” at a church raffle. “My child, 1 cannot consent to your marrying young Henry. You know perfectly well you are engaged to William.” “Yes, pa pa; but William is on a three years’ cruise.” “Weil, what has that to do with it?” “Why should I waste the time? Henry lias solemnly promised that be will coii--_-nt to a divorce as soon as William arrives.” ” ic rumor that Mrs. Lockwood wears Democratic newspapers in her bustle is no doubt a weak in vention of the enemy, t-he may desire the Democratic press to back her, but not in that fashion. —Karris town Herald.
