fSpecial Correspondence.]

ATLANTA, Sept. 23.—The glorious opening day has come and gone, atid the regular routine of the Cotton States and International exposition has set in. We can now see how far it is a success and make some estimate for tho future. Of course the exhibit was not complete on opening clay, as wc all knew it wouldn't be when in our sober senses, and in some buildings it was not half complete but-, on the other hand, the structures were in far better condition than any one could have believed possible ten days ago, and the driveways were surprisingly good. There were not 30,000 people here from distant states, as Georgifi had fondly anticipated there would be, but neither did the equinoctial ^1 storm blow the exposition from tlie face of the earth, as Wiggins of Canada had gleefully predicted. We had a few governors and their staffs for general gorgeous! ty and quite an assortment of congressmen to give character to the occasion, aiul with them we had a superabuhdar.de of bands and by night no ehd of pyrotechnics. And oi all the divisions the display at the !ov eminent building was most complete, as that had been the first put in thorough order.

The Okvvernim ut Exhibit.

The greatest wonder in the really wonderful Government building is that so much could be shown in so little space and yet leave abundant- room for visitors. On this 65,000 feet of door space (with the anI nex and all the floors, this is the extent) one can see every impo&mt detail of this grand republic in miniature from Key

West to the remotest Aleutian island and from the upper St. John to the Santa Anna geographically, from John Cabot to IToke Smith historically, and pictorially from the first issue of the first colonial stamp to a facsimile of the last gold bond taken by the Morgan-Rothschild syndicate. Here, in short, one may see pictured and charted our own, our native land, pictorial, goo-

financial and aboriginal. {Phe pk^p^i gallery begins with the finest obtainable portraits of the j^roaidents from big boned and muscular George to fat Grover, of tho secretaries of state of those, of the treasury from the intcllcctural but ruddy looking Hamilton to the pale but equally intellectual Carlisle, and in like manner the apostolic succession in other departments. Along with these is displayed in nfost attractive stylo what is said to be a complete scries of every postage stamp, bond and bill serving as money ever issued, by our government. It would take more of an expert than I to decide as to the truth of the claim, for there are many tliere that I never even hoard of.

In tho educational line specimen sehn from all parts of tho countryvare shown in immense views which fold one upon the lowed by a slin other so that

fills a wall space afoot

or so deep. Her!* one may trace thf systems of different states from' primary tp university and of Indian education from the papoose strapped on the flat board or wicker frame to tlie tolerably ctr^ivated native American as he issues from Carlisle or Hampton. This, however, is but tlm smallest part: of the aboriginal exhibit, for in one respect it seems to me this department excels the similar one at Chicago. This is in tho lino of original Indian work. From Alaska tlie agents have sent a most interesting series of native drawings in which Eskimo and Iunuit, Russian native and half breed picture Jill the details of their common life. The seal, the walrus, the fox and the bear are represented in every condition and attitude observed by the natives, and the hitler's nature comes out strong in the details, for all tho hunting and fighting scenes are full of animation, while others are rather dull. It is said that the natives of Alaska show quite an aptitude for art, and as these drawings are on cardboard of a size furnished by tho agents much ingenuity is shown in working in all that tho native artist wanted to express. It is really quite curious to note tho fidelity of detail, despite tho fact that there is no perspective, -and how ingeniously the savage draftsman has got around that difficulty, though the general result is often ludicrous. Along with these there is an assortment of mummies, wax imitations and other stuffed aborigines, but I am like Huck Finn in that I "don't take no stock in dead JJCOj)le"—that is, if they will be kind enough to stay dead and not come about where I am of nights.

Military Progress.

The military display is that of tho Chia'o World's fair reproduced on a smaller scale. There are the same wax soldiers in all iuniforms of the service, the same old guns from the one like that which "Gran'ther Young at Concord busted" down to the breechloader shoot-sevon-times-in-a-minute which has made sue!) charges as Pickett's at Gettysburg a'a:l the Federal at Cold Harbor impossible in future warf the rusty yangers from tho Wolfo and j\b-".|-ealm fight and the clumsy muskets which the militia hying from Bladensburg threw into the creek as they crossed the bridge. In no other branch of

con.M give a Roman legion a very pretty light for an hour or two, but now a well drilled and properly armed infantry regiment could scatter 10,000 barbarians like chaff before the wind. In short, we have reached the point where only in the deadliest climff.es and densest jungles can uncivilized man hold his own even for a seaton.

Tho fish exhibit is of courso much smaller than that at Chicago, butj^s far more conveniently arranged. The naval, forostry, and Smithsonian exhibits aro also In the same lino, but in agriculturo tho display is quito novel and typically southern. Here, for instance, is a cotton plant, apparently, which at first view seems but tho attempt of au amateur in waxwork.

The Dukes an equal number of Gauls or (ie'ieslinns 1 of Wellington hold theirs under a similar

It is really the production of one of the best- artists in that line and cost the government a pretty penny. Right by it is anotfier on which the cotton worm has begun to get,in his wori?, iind by that ^i sectional diagram of' the 6oll-, showing tho damage done. Hovo al: is a hor.'-o the glanders, near by a hen with some 1atal disease and on the. glass by her the white t-hront worm which brought hev an carl7 do. th. All these are no', a -.a part of tho wonders of the Government building, and over aJl is an exceedingly brilliant display, the Hags of all nations, the finest specimens of each, festooning tlie central space from end to end.

The Study of Men.

After all, man is himself of more enduring interest, to man than is anything else, anil right here and in these opening days man can be studied in thorough. Visitors from a distance did not come in myriads as had been hoped, and I think they arc wise in waiting a week or two till the weather of October is here and the exposition is 011 a smoothly running bnsis, but the Georgian is here, and in the Government building and 011 the Midway pla'saiioo the Georgian of the hills is very v.--h \ny one wan see by a glanee at fhe map that some 20 counties of ibis state are more or less mountainous, but tiie map due noi ••-howtiie interesting fact. that the people of ("horokec Georgia, as that region is called, arc sui generis, a people asdislinct from those of the low country as if they were in Kuropo or Asia-, The funniest t!

I may be poor, ragged, sometimes drunk and generally rough, but, sir-r-r, I am a Georgian!"

E?-on in the cultured citizens of Atlanta one observes a good deal of this sort of thing. I will not go so far as to say that the worship of ancestors prevails here as in China, but they have a very good imitation of it in tho worship of Grady. He must have been a truly great man if the supreme tost is to bo taken as conclusive, for the nearer one gets to him tho higher is tho popular opinion. Those who knew him most intimately aro most ardent in his praise. In Tho Constitution office his memory is revered and in his family and intimate social circles he was idolized. Next to him in tlie popular idolatry come aboufc a doRen men who have done most to rfiafee this city. TIIOBO is a general sentijaient that Atlanta is a very good second to ®ew York, but in an nil around estimate ytiefyiK to no other city in the country, and this all pervasive senso of bigness is comically shown in such expression as "our neighbors on the south," meaning such countries as Mexico and Brazil, and meantog also that they aro neighbors to Atlanta in a particularly near and dear commercial sense, as they are not to other cities. And really there is a good deal to justify this feeling. Thirty-one years ago come November theifi were but 27 houses in Atlanta. Now there are nearly 27,000, and the number is growing so rapidly that in a third of the central section one's way is constantly obstructed by plaster I teds and piles of brick and stone.

Que more fact is worthy of special notice. At Chicago when opening day failed to bring the expected crowd "and was folattendanco for some days, there was loud discussion as to possible failure and a truly mournful refrain among

Many years ago the following, which is worth reproducing here, was published in tho newspapers: "William JTarnian, who committed suicide at Titusville, Pa., a short time sincc, did so because somo ope had convinccd him that he was his own grandfather. Hero is a copy of tho singular letter I10 left: 'I married a widow who had a grown up daughter. My father visited us often, fell in love with my stepdaughter and married her. Thus he became my son-in-law, and my stepdaughter bebamo my mother, bccauso slio was my father's wife.
