A NEW DISH.
Call at the refreshment stand under the big oak tree, to the
left of the grand stand from the centre of the ground, and
order that new French dish, “ Mayonaise de Gateau Ass or to
Sur Socle, en Bellevue." imported from Lake Champagne.
The experienced epicure will at once recognize ill this dish
fried grape leaves and egg-batter. We do not know auything
more delicious than fried grape leaves, unless it be one of
Cal. Wagner's allow posters on toast.
HASH.
anew patent railway contrivance is announced, in the
shape of a switch-tender’a box, so placed that if the switeh
temler should go to sleep in it, and neglect the switch, the
coming train would run into the dormitory, and obviato any
furtlit r necessity for his switching.
A pair of shears, weighing forty-nine tons, have recently
been built at the Pensacola Navy Yard, especially for a Geor
gia editor. He is on the ground to-day, and will leave at the
close of the Fair to secure them. He has some reputation as
a•• cuttist," and can slash out a live item with all the grace
and ease imaginable.
A rural journal m Pennsylvania, in an obituary notice of
Edwin Forrest, says : “She was never equaled in her time by
any Terpsiehorean artiste, though Bonfanti and Betty Rige
were formidable rivals in her later years." Our readers can
believe this or not, but the editor of that paper says he is a
critic, and knows whereof he writes.
An irriitable colored matron hi Yamarraw kicked her
trilling husband out of doors on Sunday night. She might
have prepared his head for a wig, or mellowed his bones with
a broom handle or poker, but to kick him was conclusive evi
dence that the matron appreciates not the great destiny
shaped out for the colored population.
Tiie readers of the Expositor will be glad to learn that one
of the new branches of industry that demands no capital and
uo special endowments is the mat trade. The way to obtain
a stock in trade is to wiilk to the front door of a dwelling,
take a mat, go home and wash it, and then go back aud sell it
to the former owner. The profits are immense. No brains
or muscle required to successfully carry on the business.
Major Sydney Herbert, correspondent of the Columbus
Sun, ! s in attendance on the Fair In a letter dated the *.l7th,
hf says .
“ The weather has been very bad during the week ; yet the
work of improve ment has gone steadily on at the Fair
Grounds, and no efforts have been spared to put everything
in the best possible order. New side tracks and platforms
have been constructed, and the entrances improved, while
the grand stand has been moved into a more desirable posi
tion. Other changes and improvements have been made, and
to-day, cold and blustering as it was, a party of ladies and
gentlemen went out to decorate the exhibition halls and put
things in order. It is hoped that Monday will be ushered in
by a marked change in the weather, and that the week will be
i
a pleasant one A larger number of entries have already been
made than were made up to this time last year, and, as no
fee is now charged for article's exhibited, it is expected that
thero will Ik- a fine display."
