PARISH EXHIBIT.

There seems to be a want of in-terest, an apathy, ni:nife-t in ourpeople in regard to the proper ex-hibit of the productions and re-sources of our parish at the greatWorld's Exp.osition. Our PoliceJury have made a reasonable alp-propriation, which, in addition toindividual assistance, will be suffi-cient to defray the necessary ex-penses of a creditable exhibit.

There has been collected a smallquantity of vegetable productions,both indigenous and cultivt! 'I, a:well as some vahtable mineral proaducts, and some fine specimens o,fruit, but not :near enough to make acreditable dis play,or to do any thinglike justice to the capabilities nlidresources of our parish. If wewould attract attention to our ad-vantages as an agricultural section,and to our mineral possibilities,and thus share in the benefits whichn ould accrue to us from a faiurandfull display of our productions, wemust rouse ourselves, and by uni-ty of purpose and concert of ac-tion, gather together a displaywhich will do us credit, and giveour parish that position in the gal-axy of parishes to which she isjustly entitled. Our fruits, cereals,cotton, timber, minerals, and par-ticularly our beautiful marble,give us the materials for a splen-did and valuable exhibit.

We trust that there is publicspirit enough, and garish prideenough, ini our people to promptthem to immediate action in thisvery important matter. and thatthey will come to the aid of ourCommissioner and his assistants,and assure for our parish an exhib-it of which we may not be asha-med, but that we may be prcud of.

A MACEDON~ IA t'RY.

The )cemocratic claim that L wais a close and very douLtful Stateis beipg proved by the Repabli-cans themselves. Of old it wasscarcely thought necessary to can-vass Iolwa, the majority there wasso large and so reliable. Not sothis year. The necessity for athorough and complete canvass isfully recognized, and it will bemade.

The Republican Stat a CentralCommittee of Iowa issued lastweek a circular in which they re-late the earnest endeavors they areputting forth "to save the State."This, they explain, involves a largeexpenditure of money, which canonly be obtained .by the cont bn-tions-voluntarily, they exFlain---of those interested in keeping theparty in power-who are of coqreetne oice-holders-and they callupon these to contribute at onceunless they wish to be swept fromoffeie.

When it gets to assessing theclerks and other Federal offcialsin order "to save" Iowa, itisquifeevident that the Republicans re-gard t. situatk in that State asafsie n Blattering or promising,-
