one of irriaf activity. Men and boys were hurrying to and fro, wivi-i- inside Mm exhibitors or their represeutativti, were busily engaged in superintending the finishing toiichrs for the formal opening. As ear.y s s o'clock the military and civic Indus who wire to take part hi the projcsslcr. of tbe day began to form at the armories, aud several di-tach-ments of tho -isltinst militia paraded the t treetK headed by their bauds, who pi ty ad stiri ii:g airs
as tner marcneo to inc fares wcira iiwv 111poso to make their headquarters during their stay. It is estimated by good judge that fully 50.000 stranaers aie in tho city. Shortly after 10 o'clock the procession, composed of tho officers of the Kxposition, coiemissioner of foreign countries, tho Itatted States Government, and several States, and dntingnUhcd visitors and citizens, lonned and began tlie march to the levoe. where was moored tho mafuiiieent steamer Fred A. Blanks, draped in all the colors of the rainbow. Tho procession marched aboard the Blanks which swnng out into the stream and headed for tlie lower limits of tho corporation so as to traverse the entire length of the city on the trip up tho st ream, giving those aboard a view of the entire shipping moored along the fifteen miles of river front. Beaching tholower end of the citv the Blanks turned and sped up the stream, her course along tho route lieing a signal for salutes from the war ahii s and ocean vessels and the screaming whistles of the steamboats. Krery vessel was tastefully decorated with flags, and tho crews on the decks and in the rigging cheered as tae Blanks passed. The boat landed at the Exposition wharf at noon, and the party proceeded to the Mnslc Hall, in the main building, where the opening ceremonies were held. When the procession leached the braiding the 11,000 seats in tho hall were almost tilled by persons who hsd started for tho park before the procession moved, while thousands congregated in groups around the vast auditorium. When the Exposition officer and commissioners hud aken their ulaces on the platform the orchestra struck nu the "Prwidont's March. The reception of Gov. S. I. MuKnery fo-lowcd, and the orchestra played national airs. The Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, of Brooklyn Tabernacle, then offered prayer, at the conclusion of vhich Governor MoEnery began the opening at'urees. The Governor referred to the magnitude of tho Exposition and the benefit' it would confer on the whole country, especially the South, to whom international expositions had hitherto been un
known, and exiircasea tno oeiier tuat xno invercourfro of people from the different ecttonsof the country would brluir the States closer together, socially and politically, than tlicy had been for a third of a century. The Exposition poem of Mrs. Mary Ashley Townsend ("Xariffa") was then read, 11 1 the conclusion of which Mayor J. V. (lulllotte welcoa.cd the visitors to the Crescent City, promising them courteous and fair treatment by her citizens. Director General Major E. A Burk then presented the Exiiosltion buildings to PresMentEd Richardson in a brief address. Colonel Richardson in turn presented the buildings to Itwident Arthur by telegraph. A telegraphic resjion.se was received and read from the President oihclally announcing t he opening of the Exposition. The machinery began to move slowly, followed by the whirr of two milos ot sjafting. Governor MoKtiery then received thccommissioiK rsand distinguished visitors amid 11 burst of national airs from the orchestra, and the proceedings came to a close. While :he building is not entirely completed, aud while half the exhibits arc not yet arranged, still as much progress has already been made as at any interni tionai exposition on etponing dty. The mnnucment fans use.! every endeavor to push the work t s fast as possible, and the delay has been ri ther the fault of the exhibitors than of otticiala. Everything was in readiness for the former, and they simp y dii not take advantage of it Great, delay, however, was cause,! by a blockade of railroads. Many hun'dred tars ol ixhibiis huve not yet reached the grounds, tho jam being ot-peeially heavy on the Illinois Central and Tjou syille and :ashville. Those cars will by brought in rapidly, and by tho time tho holidays are over everytlini will bo in complete order. lit the mnin building one third of the space is as yet unoccupied, but exhibitors arc put:ing.up theirplatf ornis rapidly . Those displat s complete represent every conceivable article of manufacture, from ft needle to the mammcth Harris-Corliss engine. All the displays are tasty, and many are elegant and rich. Tho space for foreign exhibits in this building is almost entirely vacant. Th: is caused by the rigid enforcement of oustoins regulations. Over a thousand tons of goods of the loom oro lyina in bonded warehouses and aboni d ships, although the management used every endeavor to secure a modification of luio customs rules, and tbe usual formalities attending the entry of imports, and, although they '.vero seoonelod by customs officials here, and the Treasury Department at Washington seeraee! n-uilng to make some concessions, only last night C'olleotor Badizer received an order from (Secretary McCulloch to allow all articles intended for tho exhibit to ls Rout to the grounds immediately without being disturbed" in any way. Bond swill be recpiiraUon small articles of great value, which will lie given by the Exposition management. 1'n lev tlie order all foreign exhibits will lie immediately sent to the grounds in bowled barges and rapidly arranged in their departments. A large num ber of arrivals from Europe will not ivach here until tho arrival of the steamer Great Eastern, which sails from London on Friday. Those latter are expected to be in position early In January. By far the largest and most interesting of foreign exhibits will bo that of Mexico, and their building has jast been completed, caused by a delay in the iron work at Pittsburg. In the Government Buildiuu there irtems Mt ha 3 been unreasonable delay on the part of tins commissioners and owners. The United Stat)
exhibit is a raaKnineent one. but is not yet com-
h innomnleto state of the work. but. on the
contrary, those who attended the opening of
t net entenniui express hi surunst-at wk- im okivhb made and the smoothness with which things were conducted. They sav in two weeks the Exposition will lo what the mauasrement has claimed -the grandest international lair ever held. The greeting of llalor Uurfce, ti e Director General, by the vast audience, was spontaneous, hoarty and lonit continued. He had (o pause ten minutes before the applause subsided, aud I; was a fitting tribute to the r.ian who had worked eighteen hours a dav for six month', to make the nil air a success, attending to every loiil of work. Subordinates did n.itlilug that had not his supervision, and to his effort-1 are duo the present advanced condition of affairs. STAIU IriU THE MACUINEKV.

In the House of Ilepresontatlveu, on tho 12th inst., a conorirrent resolution wt.s passed regretting the Inability of Congress to bo present at tho opening of tho New Orleans Exposition, anci requesting the President of the Senate, together with a committee of thirteen Senators and the Himaker of the House, witfc one.

New Orleans was then selected as tho site at this Worlds Expedition, and in June, ltttct, the- thirteen commissioners composing the bosrd of manigciueut were apt Dinted by the President of the t'aited States, and at once entered upon the disckamo of their duties. At an early date, however, It became manifest that the liberalltv of individuals of the city an! State would be inadequate to meet the requirements of tho over- inereasiuu: magnitude of the under
taking. Accordingly an appl cation for aid was made to the United States, througli Co igress, resulting 1n obt iining t tiat generous ass istance which lias so materially conttlbuted to tie accomplishment of the purpose contemplated. From the commencement it was determined that nothing should give a local or sectional character to this great work, but that it should be, as it trnly is, a national or international exposition. "How much of good shall result from the means of inst ruction here furnished," tho telegram coutinncd, "Is biyontl mortal power to measure." The telegram, which was quite long, dosed bv thanking th; people of the United States for their generous assistance, and appealing to then! to make the Exposition a success. It was signed by Kdmun tl Richardson, President. Immediately after the telegram was read tho President read Iho address formally opening tne Exposition, and it was nlterward teleirraphed direct to the Exposition Building in Now Orleans. It is us follows : In tha name of tho people of tho republic I naratnlatothe citizens of the Southwest in their aovnueing prosperit; as manifested by the great International Exposition now about to open.

The Story of n Umbrella. We were living up in the mountains and had quite a herd of cows, among them one, an old cow, who wore a bell. Tho cows had been missing for several days, and the boys were out searching, anel one afternoon I thought I would try what I could do. Ho I mounted a jiouv anil rotio quite a distance, when I thought I heard the old cow's bell. I dismounted and started to prowl around among the rocks and bushes. "It had been raining during the early part of tho afternoon, and I had an umbrella. After I had gone a short distance I caught a glimpse of the cows. As I started toward them, suddenly they lifted their he ids, crooked their tails, and started away on a dead run. I was just wondering what frightened them, when I heard a rustling in the bushes behind me. "I turned around, and tltexe, not tea feet away, was a big mountain lion fit aniline on a rock Btarinir at me. I
