Atlanta, because it is a kind of metropolis is nut removed from or impervious to the insla- lous appeal* of U>o modern circus. The streets have been blocked to-day on account of John D. Doris’s Mammoth Circus and Me nagerie, and tbe procession was hardly able to make its way on account of the crowd.

On the success of tbit venture depended the State exhibit. Tbe commissioner* were to make a re- K rt here yest-rdsy. On that day Major con, the State commissioner, M»jor Cooper, of the first, and Major Cobb, of tbe third, were piesent. Tho meeting was Mtponed till to-day in the hope that the Others would strive. At noon there hud been no further arrivals. There is nothing encouraging so far. in tbe reports. Ills stfe to sty, though it be uld reluctantly, that the State exhibit is a complete failure. StateCommlssioner Ba con bis devoted time and money to the esuse, ha Ins labored xealously and intel ligently in the cause, and has tried every ptin, and put on foot every scheme that gtre toy promise of success. It Is to he hoped that be will get out ot even this utter failure, and bring the old State forward creditably at the Greit World's Pair. There ought to he 'enterprise enough and State pride enough among Georgians who have the means 11 tskethe matter npyet. Ills likely there will be something of an exhibit anyway, made by a few localities and a very cred itable exhibit may be gathered at the State fair. Iteyoud this it is usettss to expo :t anything.

This resulted as a mat ter of necessity, as the Indifference and general lack of encouragement over the date left no other alternative. It was decided, however, as the only chance offering any hope of making sn ex hibit, the last resort, to place the matter In the bands of the Agricultural Society, and In that way get up an exdibit from the £!£»«& otate fair at Maron, and auch collections as may be obtained from the various dis tricts. The exhibit thus to be tm.de will take its place at the World’s F«ir aa tbe exhibit made by the Georgia State Agri cultural Socifty, and it may be made a magnificent display of the industries and resources of the State. It is likely this will meet the approval and sanction of the officers of the Agricultural Society. The commissioners will meet with them in this city next Tuesday, when the matter will take some definite ehai e. Thus a most important responsibility will be placed in tbe charge of this great association, vitally affecting every raateii- al interest of the State. It is to be hoped that the society will meet it with their nsual spirit and carry it to a success which will reflect credit not only upon the State, but upon an association which has long been so prominent in Georgia In a conversation to-night with the Uni ted States commissioner, Maj. Bacon, and teveral of the State commissioners, I toimd them hopeful that this last move would prove a happy solution of the prob lem with which they have wrestled to long. Maj. Bacon tbinka the society will take hold of the exhibit and make it a magnificent success. He appreciates the lmportatice, too, of enlisting the sympathy and co-operation of Macon, which is the home aud headquarters of the Agricul tural Society. Macon, he thinks, and rightly, can do much to further the work. He expressed an earnest wish that the bus iness men of Macon, her public spirited citizens, now that tne honor of the State is in a measure thrown on their hands, will give it snch substantial encouragement as will result in a creditable and splendid dis play at New Orleans.

The fire originated in some cohort stored in the warehouse Wednesday evening, aud it Is thought caught from a spark from a cigar or pipe.

The paper was doing a better business than the Constitution, but Mr. Hemphill made up for that in his eternal vigilance over the treasury. As an illustration of the manner in which tho Constitution was forced to follow every spurt made by the Herald, wo remember one instance. The pressman of the Constitution one day applied to Mr. Hemphill for a five- cent paper of tacks, to be used in the press room. "Can't do It; you must make out with out tacks,” *aid Mr. Hemphill. "But the Her ald pressman has bought some tacks.” said the pressman.

ThV great heated spell and the small rainfall have been un favorable for tbe cotton crop, and the effect has forced a lowering of its condu tion to 75, against 80 for August, 87 for July, 85 for June and &l for May.

Tho weather has proven, however, unusually fine for picking and many cor reap* indents say labor is working bara to gather and save tbe crop.
