OUR EXPOSITION LETTER.
There is one pleasure in this world
which , unlike the others , is strengthen
ed by indulgence that of looking upon
beautiful pictures. We gaze and gaze ,
depart and come again , to drink in the
lights and shades , and beauties of the
painter's wondrous art. So it is with
the crowds who daily throng the Art
Gallery of the Exposition from morn
ing till night , a continuous stream of
visitors are going and departing from
this attractive resort. It may be that
there is nothing so extraordinary in the
collection , but what there is there , has
the remarkable power to draw a full
house every day , and the mention of a
few pieces may not be without interest
to your readers.
"Bracingup"asmall painting , about
12x24 , attracts much attention , as its
wonderful realism touches a tender
chord in the memory of many a specta
tor , who recalls the tremulous mornings
experienced after being out with the
boys I It is the picture of a vigorous
old toper unsteadily pouring an "eye-
opener" into a glass , giving it mean
while a look of most comical satisfac
tion , his only companion a cat , sleeping
quietly on her chair. Thomas Hill has
a larger painting entitled "The Last
Spike" representing the act of uniting
the Union and Central Pacific railways
in I860 , which contains many life-size
figures of the persons present on that
memorable occasion , including the since
noted Sanford , who holds the silver
sledge with which the gulden spike was
driven , while mounted on a ladder in
ihe distance stands a telegraph opera-
; or ready , at a signal , to flash the news
of the completed connections to all the
cities and towns of the land ; among
the group of spectators are Indians ,
section men , and the inevitable station
oafer. Like all visitors , your correspondent
pendent will often be lured to the Gal-
ry , but at present must go over to the
' states , " and fill an appointment with
friend.
CALIFORNIA AT NEW ORLEANS.
The older reader will remember how ,
: hat forty years ago , California was
scarcely heard mentioned in the United
States , and if read of at all only as a
'ar-off country , a sort of desert land in-
labited by barbarians and pirates ,
among whom life and property were dis
regarded and unsafe. Nor was it till
eng in ' 49 and 50 , that Americans
knew that there was such a country.
Then , and for years after , it was look
ed upon as a mere sterile mining camp ,
.productive of nothing but gold , and
even that in uncertain quantities , in
the pursuit of which disappointment
was the rule and success the exception.
Who ever in 1850 or even in later years ,
had predicted that California would be
come in his generation , one of the first
agricultural states in the Union , might
well have been arrested on the charge
of lunacy. Yet here today she presents
herself in the World's Exposition , not
only as one of the first agricultural
states of our Union , but challenging
the oldest states and countries as a horticultural
ticultural section of the world , and com
peting even with the West Indies in
the quality and excellence of her semitropical -
tropical fruits. Her exhibit here , made
By the Southern Pacific railroad compa
ny , is one of marvelous richness and va
in her exhibit every variety of grain
and seeds occupy a leading place , the
whole crowned with the heavy corn
stalks 18 feet high , and samples of
wheat and flour than which there never
have been better produced , having more
than 3,000 specimens from every part
of the great state. One of her private
riety , and of such general interest to
the whole country that your correspond
ent has given it much attention , as the
promised completion of the Ship Rail
way across the Isthmus , adds increas
ed interest to the entire Pacific Coast ,
citizens , in order to aid in making known
the excellence o'f his state as an agri
cultural garden , ( Gen. Jno. Bidwcll , of
Biitte county , ) 1ms a vast private ex
hibit of grains , vines , fruits , nuts , etc. ,
his own production. There are over I
150 samples of grains in the sheaf from
the State University , in this particular
excelling any of the other colleges of
the older states . In this display is in
cluded hemp , ramiu , flax , wheat , etc.
There is shown also a model of the cel '
ebrated Young harvesting machine in
use in no other country , because of its
adaption only to great grain fields.
With this machine four men and six-
