The Crescent City In Suramer-IIer Quaint-
m and Pecollarltlcs Progress or
the World's Exposition.
SPECIAL COBUKbr-OSDENCK.
New Orleans, August C, 1834.
The Crescent City is different from
any other city in tho "Union. Not only
has it a cosmopolitan population, but it
has certain peculiarities that servo to
make it a place of interest to the tourist.
The quaint old buildings in the French
quarter, the easy-going life of the people,
their joyous nature and love of gaiety,
the influx of new life and business meth
ods on one hand, the slow disappearance
of men great in the commercial world
thirty or forty years ago on the other, all
serve as matter to reflect upon; and few
strangers can remain here, even for a
brief time, without being struck by the
contrasts that they discover here and
there as they walk about the charming
old city. There are incidents of life,
bits of scenery, and queer characters
that even our novelist, Mr. Cable, has not
painted. On every hand there are nooks
that one likes to stand and admire, places
where the sun seems to get in in order to
sleep away the day. ,Here the gardens
with prolific fig trees that never fail to
yield their lusciou? fruit, flowers in gor
geous tints and tender tropical plants that
fear the cold. The oranges are as green
as green can be, but when the exposition
visitors begin to arrive in the month of
December, the golden fruit, ripe and
plentiful, will beautify thousands of the
overgreen trees. Tho banana, too, is no
stranger tree here, it stands beside many
a garden wall, stretching its broad, long
leaves from the ground, seemingly, far
above the orange and the fig. By day it
is a thing of beauty, it looks so fresh, so
green, and cool; at'night, when the nim
ble fingers of the breezes toy with its un
folded leaves, it emits a rustling sound
strange and weird, as if winged spirits
were flitting through tho air.
Once in a while one may see a palm tree
but it is by no means a common object,
even in the most costly gardens.
Those who come hero from tho far-away
north, find themselves in a recion whera
to them u new climatio law prevails, in a
laud of sunshine where tho fruits of the
tropics flourish, and where roses bloom
the year round in tho open air.
The population appears odd and unlike
that of any other citv. for it is made uo
of Americans, French, English, Germans,
Italians, Spaniards, Chinamen, Africans,
and in short every nation and tribal di
vision of the earth seems to have sent
somo of its members hither, as if com
pelled to contribute to a great ethnologi
cal museum.
Our authors, writers and thinkers have
found a mine of literary ore in Louisiana
and although several native literateurs
have tried to "squat" on certain fields,
tho fact remains patent to nil observers
that tho land is still rich in incidents and
old time traditions that have never been
told in book or in song. The old city
boasts of numerous authors, male and
female, but unfortunately for society they
are as shy and. modest as thought-makers
usually are.
But the all absorbing topic of the hour
is the exposition. Tho fact that tho sea
son is so far advanced that it is now im
possible to have an epidemic of yellow
fever, adds much to the bright prospects
of the groat enterprise.
The exposition management has shown
its wisdom by not putting all its money
into buildings that must be taken down
at the end of a year. Tho main building
is not built of solid masonry, but is enor
mously strong and vast. It is tho largest
building ever erected in tho world, cover
ing thirty-three acres of ground. From
the wide, fino gallery that runs around the
four sides of the building ono may get a
good idea of the immense area of tho
interior. The gallery without doubt, will
be a favorite place for visitors to see the
grand panorama of all nations, and it
will also bo a favorite with exhibitors
who desire a good location for their
goods. From this point ono may look
across to tho machinery department
where lines of shafting over a quarter of
a mile long may be seen driving all sorts
of labor-Baving machinery. Swarms of
workmen are now busy putting down the
lower floor, while others upon tho roof
are placing the skylights that hnvo been
on hand for some time. The painters
are at work on the underside of Horti
cultural Hall, and it is safe to say that
the structure will be completed in ten
days. The management has already no
tified out-lying countries to send for
ward their exhibits, that goods will be
received after the first of August. The
government building will be another
structure of great size. Owing to the
great value of some of the paintings and
statuary to be brought from, abroad,
the building committee has wisely de
cided to erect the art building entirely of
iron.
The building being planned by the
Mexican Republic, is to be a beautiful
specimen of architecture, and that
government will spend 200,000 upon the
undertaking. Atlanta, Galveston and
other cities will have buildings erected
for their own exhibits. Months
ago more space had been applied
for than was in use at tho
Philadelphia Centennial, and still let
ters pour into the office of the
Exposition asking for space or additional
space. Colorado offers to send fifty or
one hundred car loads of minorals, rep
resenting all portions of the state, if
room can be provided for such an exten
sive exhibit. The most astonishing cir
cumstance connected with the prepara
tions for the great show is the enthusiasm
displayed by the young states and terri
tories. The Commissioners from those
regions come here from time to time,
find out what their rivals are about and
return home ready to raise themselves
out of call, so to speak.
Mr. E. C. Wood, commissioner of Mexr
ico, writes to the Exposition Manage
ment that the reports from tho different
states indicate that the public expecta
tion will be fully met by the character
and extent of Mexico's display. If I
were to tell you he says, of some of the
intended displays, I am afraid you would
conclude that my imagination had run
away with me, En passant, it may be re
marked, that the stories of Professor
Langhammer of New Mexico, and Gen
eral Sickles of Colorado, might impress
ono with the thought that their imagin
ations had run away with them. Their
statements are credible enough till they
begin to discuss about the amazing size
of some of the vegetables they mean to
bring to the World's Fair. At the present
writing General Sickles claims the right
of way around Professor Langhammer's
sixty pound cabbage by reason of having
a beet twelve feet long. When the returns
are all in, it will probably be found that
this cannot be beat.

Blaine Sbm an Indiana Xenspaper for Libel.
Indianapolis, Aug. 14. On the 8th
inst. tho Sentinel of this city contained
an editorial charging that Blaine had se
duced his present wifo in Kentucky and
then fled to Maine, where, the young
woman and her father following, he mar
ried her at tho point of a shot-gun. This
having reached Mr.Blaineho telegraphed
Colonel Holloway of the Times that the
statement was maliciously and infamous
ly falso in every particular. Political
slanders, he says, he pays no attention
to, but this attacking the honor of his
wife and children cannot be submitted
to. Holloway was asked to secure the
services of a lawyer at once and bring
suit against the responsible publisher of
the Sentinel. Colonel Holloway placed
the matter in the hands of Senator Har
rison's law firm, and papers are now in
the course of preparation in accordance
with Blaine's direction.
Following is the text of Blaine's db
patch to Colonel Holleway:
Bab Habboe, Maine. Aug. 14.
To Colonel R. Holloway I have this
morning received the ntrocious libel of
the Indianapolis Sentinel. It is utterly
arid abominably false in every statement
and every implication. Political slanders
I do not stoop to notice, but this article
assails the honor of my wife and chil
dren. I desire that you, without an hour's
delay, employ the proper attorney and
have the responsible publisher of the Sen
tinel sued for libel in the United States
district court of Indiana. It is my only
remedy. I am sure thRt honorable Demo
crats, alike with honorable Republicans,
will justify me in defending the honor of
my family, if need be, by my life.
Tnn COMPLAINT.
Harrisom, Miller &. Elam, attorneys, in
accordance with Blaine's directions, filed
this evening in tho United States circuit
court, suit acainst the Indianapolis Sen
tinel company, and John C. Shoemaker,
its president and business manager, who,
it charges, directs and controls the pub
lication of that paper. Tho document
proceeds as follews: '"That on the 8th
day of August, 1831, said defendants,
wickedly intending to injure, defnmo and
scandalize plaintiff, did maliciously print
and publish, in the regular daily issue of
said paper for that day, of and concern
ing Dlaiutiff, a certain false, scandalous
and defamatory article, in the words fol
lowiu": Can Blaine afford it ? The
campaign war against Cleveland is, to
say tho least, indecent. Failing to find
vulnerable points in his public record,
his enemies have assaulted a supposed
irregularity in his private conduct. They
have dressed and redressed the affair un
til tho actual facts of it aro but a small
part of the furbelowed, frilled and puffed
figure walking in tho Blaine Republican
prints. This besmirching of private
character is the stock in trade of the
Blaine folks; it is all they have to offer
against the Democratic candidate. But
can James G. Blaine afford this plan of
battle? If his flanks are so unprotected
as they aro currently understood to be,
is ho not provoking a scathing fire by
permitting these assaults on Grover
Cleveland The Democracy will hardly
remain quiet on Blaine's inner life, when
his supporters aro resorting to scandal
mongenng against its candidates. The
charges of seduction made upon Mr.
Cleveland, and which are falso upon their
very face, can, it appears, be turned on
Blaine, and made to stick. There is
hardly an intelligent man in the country
who has not heard that James G. Blaine
betrayed the girl whom he married at
the muzzle of a shotgun.
BLAINE 8EVERELT AHBAIONED.
"The democratic press has had tho
magnanimity not to put forth these re
ports which must cause pain to the mem
bers of Blaine's family. The republican
Eapers have long known of them and
ave allowed them to go undenied. If
Mr. Blaine was scoundrel enough to be
tray an innocent girl, if after despoiling
her, he was craven enough to refuse her
legal redress, by giving legitimacy to her
child until o loaded shotgun stimulated
his conscience, then there is a blast on
his private character more foul if possi
ble than the countless stains on his po
litical record. His conduct discloses
moral obliquity "rendering him unde
serving of social confidence and an unfit
man to be president. A candidate with
such a record cannot afford to assails bis
opponent. As between Cleveland and
Blaine, what fair minded man can hesi
tate to pronounce for the former, a clean
er and purer man?' Plaintiff lays his
damage at 30,000. This evening it is
understood that to-morrow proceedings
will be begun against Shoemaker and
the author of the article, under Grubb's
libel law, in the state courts. This will
compel Mr. Blaine's attendance as a
witness. Attorneys say the suit and
criminal proceedings will be pushed
with all possible dispatch.

evening and by their unequaled melodies
won the plaudits of their audience. They
have sung in the principal cities of the
world and have charmed millions by their
rendition of the songs of their own
southern land.
Finer singers exist; purer, clearer voices
are heard on the lyric stage, but there is
an indescribable pathos, sweetness and
melody about the songs of these people
that appeals most touchingly and most
effectively to the sentiment and sensibi
lities of those who hear them.
To hear "Swine Low, Sweet Chariot,"
