A most interesting letter has been received by Mrs. J. C. L. Harris from her son, Mr. C'eburn Harris, who has charge of the North Carolina exhibit at the great Exposition now being held at Omaha. While the letter was not intended for publication we take the liberty of making some extracts. Among other things Mr. Harris wries: 'I will trv to give you a brief de scription of some of the features of the Exposition. Perhaps some of the most, interesting features in tl'egovorn- ment building are the wax figures of the army officers in their different uni forms from the Revolutionary period to the present time. The uniforms worn in the Revolution do not look anything like those used now. There are also models of all the dif ferent kinds of guns used by Uncle Sam since his infancy. One of these old guns has a barrel as big as a cof fee pot. "The exhibit from the Smithsonian Institute is very interesting and in structive. The old war relics from George Washington's sword down can be found here. "The Department of Justice contains portraits of all the Presidents. Vice Presidents and other statesmen. This department is in charge of Miss Carrie Jenkins Harris, of Henderson, N. C. She can tell vou anything you want to know about these exhibits. 'The navv exhibit is very fine. It contains models of all the warships. The model of the Maine is covered with crape and over it is the familiar in scription, "Remember the Maine." These models have every detail of the vessels they represent and cost $S,000 a piece. "The first exhibit on the west side of the building is the display of Fish and Fisheries. This consists of a long tun nel which would be dark as pitch but the electric lights. Every variety of fish, turtles, &c, may be seen under the glass cover of the space, about 4 feet wide, which enclose them. The electric light shining upon the fish makes a beautiful display .and the place is crowded all the time. On the outside of the tunnel are models of fish traps, hatcheries, &c. 'Then there is a display of articles that have passed through the dead let ter office. Among these articles are saddles, harness, shoes, pistols, clothes, Indian beads, lamps and most curious to tell somebody sent a rattlesnake through the mail. He is now in alcohol. 'Bach of this Is a regular government postofflce from which mail is delivered to employees in the various buildings four times a day. "Next the Horticultural Department. containing plants and fruits from every part of the United States. The daily examination of pork under a micro scope, is most interesting. The govern ment building stands at the head of the Lagoon which Is about a quarter of a mile long. On each side of the Lagoon are the Exposition buildings. On the left side are the following buildings: 1. Agricultural; 2. Manufacturies and Ma chinery; 3. Electrical; 4. Children's, and on the right of the Lagoon are: 1. High Arts; 2. Liberal Arts; 3. Mines and Mining: then the markets and eating houses. All of these buildings are perfectly white and at night when lighted around the Lagoon are beau tiful. The most attractive exhibit in the agricultural building Is the dis play of crops raised along the Great Rock Island Railroad. A little train run around the top of this exhibit. When you first see it, it is inside the exhibit; then It switches off by Itself and runs around the outside, then In side and through a long tunnel, across a bridge and finally stops at a little station. 'Among the State buildings Georgia has about the best. The midway is the place for fun. Here you see the Streets of Cair, Trilby, Crystal Maze, Bom bardment of Matanzas, Wild West Shows, Dancing Girls, German Vlllige, Fortune Tellers, An Ostrich Farm, A Southern Plantation with 100 Negroes on It. 'Italy, France, Germany and Canada have fine exhibits. Mr. Griffith, of Sal isbury, and Mr. Joseph Brown, from home, are the onlv North Carolinians I have seen here." PEACE INSTITUTE.
