OYE FBE-H MILK COW to giro not J5£*J«TwoO*Uona milk per day. Ap- Speclsl Correspondence Recorder. New Orleans, Dec. IT, ’84. The great World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition was opened yesterday with the impos ing ceremonies usual to such ooon- sions, and is now ready for the re ception of the thousands of visitors who are expected for the next few months to daily throng the elegant buildings and capacious grounds. Like all other great expositions, it bn* taken an immense amount of labor and money to get things in shape, and even now the exhibits are not fail; want of time and facili ties having prevented exbibltore from getting their exhibits into shape. Ueorgin’s exhibit has not yet been placed in position, but will be in a few daye. It will prob ably be several weeks before all the exhibits will be in perfeot shape, and for this reason it is impossible to givo anything like a detailed dc- ecription ol the many things to be seen, even if it were possible for my pen to deptot them or any paper to publiih the account of them in any one issue. I shall therefore attempt only a general description of the buildings and grounds, and in order that your readers may gain a general idea of their appearance, I send you an illustration of them, kindly furnished me by Mr. Win. H. H. Judson, Chief of tbo Depart ment of Printing and Publishing. Many people have been puzzled to know why it is called a “cotton centennial,” but the explanation is simple. The time chosen for the exposition, wben.it was first pro posed, was 1884, from the fact that it would then be just one hundred years since the flret cotton was ex ported from this country, to Eng land, which was from the port of Charleston, 8. 0. It is but two rears since the project was con ceived of holding ibis exposition, and the progress achieved in that tinre has been remarkable. No other enterprise of a similar ebaracte rand litudo was sver brought to a stste of perfection in as short a period of time, and it con- tradiots the prevalent opinion that the people of the South are slow- moving nnd withont energy. The msin objeot of the exposition waa to Illustrate the wonderful de velopment in the production, menu- featuring, uses and consumption of that greatest o' Southern industrial products—cotton. Afterwards, by reason of receiving the generous aid of the United States govern- meat in (be lo%n of amillion dol- ltrs, the scope and general plan waa enlarged, and in place of an exposition dsvoted to sn exhibit of one iadnetnr. II now embraces all the world, ancl becomes s means of ‘isr the maebiner," gathering together the machinery and.exhibits of the progress of all civilised nations. A worlds’* exposition, wh^ro ev ery thing evolved by nature and 'it by man can be seen vol- tt^OBif Vfoltcd, .ar.Dtlerijjr soft attractively gartuebea who magnificent and abundant housing, with all possible adjuncts of exhib its nnd display, cannot fail to arouse curiosity and assure gratifi cation. A world’s exposition held nt the most unique nnd attractive city on the continent—a city cloth ed in perennial verdnre, while else where nature assumes her most rug ged and forbidding aspect will cer tainly draw by this token many, many thousands. When every lino of transportation readily and hear* tily recognizing its widely perva ding influence in promoting gener al prosperity, its surprising utility in developing and extending trade relations, decreasing its rales to n minimum, it cannot fail to move multitudes. To the people of the United States and the Canadas tbo rich, quaint and varied exhibits of Mexi co and the Central American coun tries will prove an unusual attrac tion. The archaeological treasures, relics and evidences of that remark able civilization which t'to Spanish conquerors so ruthlessly destroyed; the abundant specimens and variety of tropical products in fruits and from the fields, forests and mines, and profuse exhibits of the choice and peculiar handiwork oi native skill and industry, will provo in tensely interesting and instructive tolhe visitor. Gulf excursions will prove a potent attraction. The coasts of Mexico, Yucatan, Cuba, and the Keys of Florida can be reached in two or three days' sail. The coast of Central America, the Islhpius of Panama, the Bay Is lands, Jamaica, and others of the West Indies can bo reached in a day or two longer. The exposition is held under the auspices of the United Slates gov ernment. the National Cotton- planters’ Association, and the city of New Orleans. The general gov ernment has appropriated $1,300,• 000 for its purposes, the citizens of New Orleans have contributed (500,000, tbo city of New Orleans has appropriated $100,000, the state of Louisiana $100,000, nnd various other states and countries, cities and towns have appropriated amounts varying from $500 up to $35,000 for the purpose of having their exhibits prepared and made at the exposition; of foreign coun tries Mexico lead* with an appro priation of $200,000, while many others appropriate amounts from (500 upwards. . The^xposition grounds arc lo cated along the banks of the Mis- sisiippi river, in the upper suburbs of the city. They embrace many sores of ground, which have been laid out aa perfectly as the resour ces of time and money will permit. There is no natural soil in New Orleans—all the ground must be made by importing earth ami fill ing up the marsh which surrounds the city in every direction, excepr out in the broad waters of the Mississippi itself. There was no public park available for the uses of the exposition, as Philadelphia had in Fairmonnt prrk in 18T6. The only two pot/lie parks or -breathing placet, are the Spanish Fort and Weal End, both situated on the shores of Lake Ponebartrain and several alias distant. Bnt in (pita of all tba natural obataelea to be overcome, tbo grass baa been made to grow about the grounds and the rioh and rare tropical plants sent from other countries will appear growing outdoors in all the luxuriance of their native lands. Mexico has set in the exposition grounds a garden, where, as from aa opened book, tho thoughtlul student may read the pages of her vegetation. Its leaves will ne em bellished with cacti of strange forms, agaves, yams, capsicum pepper trees, pimentos, indigo, ipecacitaua and India rubber. South Amerioa has followed the example, for she, too, is an inter ested party. Look well at her S ard on plat, for it is a realm where aring feet have hitherto ventured. Now undaunted by (corebing son, or matted jungle or poisonous sur- I lent, you may examine at your eisure plants and flowers rarely seen by any other eye thin that of the bright-winged bird of the tropics; Brazil-nut trees, cannon ball trues, cow trees, trumpet trees, Boup trees, esutohoue trees, and the glorious Victoria regina. Uu- justly perhaps, but very naturally, Agricultural hall baa robbed South America of its greatest gift to the race, the useful potato. From tree to blossom, from blossom to fruit is a pleasant trans ition, and brings us at once to Horticultural ball. It is larger by many feet than tbo horticultural building and the pomological an nex at Philadelphia combined, and it overflows with a wealth of fruit and flowers from every land. Under the opaquo roof is the tong center, 600 leet in length by fifty feet in brcsdtb, filled with tables bearing the 25,000 plates of fruit which oompete for tbo gold and silver medals nnd tbo various premiums; apples, peaches, pears, grapes, and email fruits of the hardy north, oranges, lemons, pine apples, bananas, npd citrons of the south. These stand side by aide in generous rivalry with the same varieties from foreign ahorea. Here Florida's famous and favorite orange appeals to the palate for a verdict in its favor, while Louisi ana, California and Italy, through their fruits, contest the' claim. Young aa the United States it, in , ah< years, she Baa proved heraelf right to be called the food prodooing country of the world. Agricultur al hall and its grounds demonstrate what an attractive homo a farmer or a planter may possess; wbat his fertile sores may yield in grain; what Weil descended, plump, cash bringing, animals may, with pro per care, fill his stables, cattle sheds, sheep folds and pig atyt. -H-tlie farmer o(-Europe is able to put more of comfort and beauty into bis home, more of solid money value into bia field and herds, than bis neighbors in America, he must prove it beneath this roof and the satisfaction of competent judges From agricultural to art, from perfect animal, perfect grrln, and model home to the picture or the sketch of the master, is a distance easily passed. In ert hall yon study the canvass glowing with scenes of nature, history or human life. Let ni now make a tour of tht grounds in ono of the beautiful little cars propelled by electrioity, for the double purpose of resting and getting a view of the main building. Look now! See how it looms above you, no longer a dream, but palpable in its gland proportions. Lift your eyes to the dome which riser 115 feet above the entrance; let them travel slowly over the long, long fronts, gay with flowers and fluttering flags, elaborate with blgh-arohed doors and paneled windows, and it will dawn upon you for the first time what thirty-three acres mean when they are enclosed under one roof. Grand at the building is, it is bnt the symbol of grander facta. It commemorates two dates—1784, when the infant south sent out her first tiny cargo of six cotton bales; 188f, wbon she exports 85 per cent, of tho material for the cloth ing of tho whole world. Thus, with almost reverent anti cipation yon orosi the threshold to pausejdlsrnayed, for while all the world is before you, “where to eboose a plaoo of rest” is a prob 1cm. Ail of the sovereign states, all the territories, nnd twenty-three foreign nations invite you to come at once to their department and see wbat they are dolpg for man kind and themselves under the monster roof, sj vast that the hun dreds of supporting columns seem to light and graceful for their task, are 1,656,600 squire,feet of surface, and every foot represents some thing fair to the eye or stimulating to the brain. Here a year could be spent in this one building with profit and interest to the sightseer. When the Georgia exhibit ia placed I will try and give you a detailed description of it, aa well aa many other exhibits of interest to yonr leaders. In tho meanwhile, let your readers possess their souls with paticnco and wait a few week* before visiting the Exposition, al though at present they could find much to see in the city itself. F. B. C.
