OUR EXPOSITION LETTER. Among the United States exhibits that of the Fish Commission is of in terest to the whole people. If , as some times claimed , fish is brain food , there can hardly be too much of it , and i ought to be distributed among politi cians , statesmen and newspaper cor respondents ! The exhibit hero rep resents the entire process of fish cul ture , from the taking away of eggs all the way up to the full grown fish A large model includes the efilgy o an operator opening a large salmon when millions of eggs are disclosed and the curious thing about it is , thai the process does not injure the mother fish , which is often replaced in the water alive , and eggs taken from her the next year. The eggs , as here ex hibited , are placed in various jars being removed from one to the othei as they increase in si/c , or are ship ped to order. There are also various models ol inclined ' -Fish Ways , " designed to as- cist fish in swimming over the falls of streams , one representing that in use at the Great Falls of the Potomac , which are 72 feet high , and over which , by means of inclined "Ways , " causing the water to ilow backwards , the fish swim with perfect ease. A singular fact in the life of a Califor nia trout is , that it is sent into the world provided with rations for six we'eks , which are carried in a haver sack affixed to its stomach , and which serves to sustain its life until it is able to work for its own sustenance. If any of your readers wish to estab lish a fish pond and want a supply of carp , they can address Mr. I. F. Ellis , U. S. Fish Commissioner , Exposition Postoffice , New Orleans , when their requests will be promptly attended to. Ours is a fraternal government , and will not permit any of her children to needlessly suffer for fish any "carp- " criticisms to the contrary. So much for fish , and a word about "fowl" may not be out of place. In various legislative bodies next winter , propositions will be made for appro priations to foot a great many bills incurred by various "Commissioners , " in' charge of state exhibits. While dtftibtless most of these bills will be found correct and fair , it has , in more than one instance , been openly charg ed that some have been lavishly and unnecessarily contracted. It has been charged that "deputies" have been and are attached to some commissions , at $9 per day , whose sole duty con sisted in spending a few minutes each morning in dusting the exhibits , a work that any boy could have done as well for a few cents , as some are so engaged. And it is a notorious fact that often , when some of these "deputies or "superintendents" have been really wanted , they were off on pleasure trips , or hidden away in some secure nook , engaged in "sparking , " or in sucking iced brandies through straws. While it is to be hoped that these criticisms cannot be applied to many commissioners , it is certainly true that some so-called assistants , or acting commissioners when they even had duties to perform , have neglect ed them , being absent from their posts when wanted , and of no earthly use , except to draw fat salaries. It might be well for some legislatures , before paying bills , to do as the gov ernment is doing before paying out its late appropriation to the Exposi tion , require an itemized statement of accountjOr appoint investigating com mittees , etc. Honestly conducted commissions could not object , and or namental deputies who have idled the winter away here at § 0 per dav , might look elsewhere for pay for uselessness , or no services at all. But criticism of this sort is not so pleasant as to indulge in just praise , and I leave it for more agreeable sub jects. While "loafing around the throne" the other day and passing through the model educational sys tem of Iowa , I found an exhibit there which , in complication , variety and ornamentation and beauty and finish , rivals the five thousand dollar dress ing case from Mexico. It is a piece , or work , of penmanship , which has never been equaled among its class. In size , it is 5x4 feet , and consists of a dozen varieties of lettering , with winged figures of Mercury , Corinth ian columns , a vine-wreathed border , shading as exquisitely fine as gossa mer , the whole so perfect and pictur esque as to be frequently mistaken for a fine steel engraving. The artist whose work it is , Mr. C. S. Chapman , a student of Prof. Bailie's Commercial College , at Dubuque , was engaged nine months in the production of this splendid "pen picture , " his only in strument being an ordinary steel pen. It has on it his perfect portrait and that of his instructor , and is valued at $1500.00.
