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."
