The full particulars of their sentence by Judge Blodgett can be foaod on the Inside pages of this paper. It is a just punishment, and will strike terror to the hearts of the tcotindrels who would defraud the peo­ ple of 'heir rights. •STThe Caprou Herald says: "While all the counties in this judicial district ate putting forth their camlida*.es for rireuit judge, on behalf of the people, we desire to call attention to the name of Hen. B, N. Smith, of Woodstock, who is a candidate for that position. If n judge requires a thorough knowledge of la v, a clear and concise comprehen­ sion, an eloquent speaker, a gentleman and scholar, Mr. Smith fills the bill and t here is no use of looking farther for a candidate. Judge Smith assures ns that he will be a candidate and we hare no fears for his election. The Herald may be counted for Judge Smith, 8m, last and all the time." •®" The Sycamore Republican iays "Steuben EllwoodTs description of the scenes at the inaognration are graphic an i interesting. The House of Repre­ sentatives were placed in an nndesira ble position in the rear, but he drifted down within a few feet of the Presi «lent and was Impressed with bis per tect coolness and pleasant, dignified fctyle In delivering his Inaugural and going through all the trying ceremon­ ies. He regards him as a remarkable man but looks for a breaking up of the Democratic party through his action. Already, with a majority of serenty- six in the House It could pass no party measure.** partment--I mean the one he calls the Creole depart nent. I willingly confess that I failed to discover any depnrtment of that kind. Doubtless he did; or possibly he might have meant the Colored State Exhibit, lor there was such a one in * w hich he seemed to be muchly interested. Possibly he might have thought the Creeles dark in complexion; like­ ly he thought they were of African decent. If so, he woul i be well to consult Zell's Cyclo- pedia, where they are defined as "S{»anish speaking Americans," or "Louisiana born of Spanish descent." If the above exhibit 1s where he had to wait so long and often, we would credit him with much courtesy, for he waited so patiently, and with such a pleatant countenance. The ladies had there an exhibit of pain'in<{s, needle and crecnet work, the attendant for showing the exhibit always being a lady, we bad no difficulty in lindiug hi* whereabouts; and as he was always in the best of humor, doubtless he viewed them as Creoles. I am anxiously waiting for a description of the Canada Exhibit I think the correspondent well posted. I saw him asking many ques- tions concerning the exhibit, prices, etc., and the lady was not through answering when we were out of hearing, or nearly so. The foref- going I think is all the explanation now needed. If anything farther should be needed in the future I will try to hold myself rwMy to explain v Yours Truly, \i'y ; N.s. Gounr. 'A Republican Judicial Conven­ tion for the twelfth circuit has been called to meet in Elgin on Friday, May l*t, to put in nomination three candi dates forjudges of thin Circuit. The present incumbents ar« Judge Wilson of Kane, Upton, of Lake, and Kellum of DeKalb. As we said last week, Mo- Henry county is justly entitled to one of these Judges, and she will, we think wMiout doubt, present the name of Hon. B. N. Smith, of Woodstock, as her candidate for that position. Judge Smith is too well known in this dis­ trict to need any Introduction at our hands. Ho Is a man in the prime of life, an able lawyer, and possesses In aa eminent degree the requisite quali­ ties to fill the position sought In an able manner and to the honor of the District. We predict his nomination and election by an overwhelming ma­ jority. BDITOB PLAIMUBALKK Seeiqg rnaeb written concerning New Orleans and the Ex­ position, the exherbitant prices charged; the advantage taken by (he resident people there; the impassable mud, etc., I thought it proper to give seme of our late experiences in those things, as such reports afloat might deter some from going, as no one wishes to go there to starve, or to get swamped in a bottomless uiud pit. In the first place let me say there is no use in wallowing In the mud, for there are sidewalks anywhere it becomes necessary to go. Of course, if one preferred to do so, he eonld find mnd in New Orleans. In the next place, the people of that city are very civil, friendly and hospitable to Northern strangers! As regards board, I will give the price that it will cost for botrd and lodging, if yoa want a good meat, composed of beefs oak, cooked any way you wish, or any other kind of meat, with potatoes, bread, butter, coffee, tea.su- gar, milk, any kind of sauce, also oysters, crackeri and various other items too numer­ ous to mection, you can have all for the sum of 26 cents. If your appetite is less and you gret along with a cup of coffee and some bread and butter in sufficient quantities, it will cast you 10 cents a meat Or there are places whore you can get meals on the European plan; then if you are much disposed to eat. it will cost you from 36 to SO cents a meal. These boarding places are kept by Northern people, and are neat and clean, all victuals well cooked. There are places where rooms and lodging can be had with fire morning asd evening, lights, opportunity for reading and writing, beds clean and comfortable, and in a quiet place, all for 00 cents a day, and situat­ ed within ten rods of entrance to State Ex- hi bit, If these prices are high, I have no more to say. The above can be depended upon, he. cause is is all they ask. Inleeklag over the FLAWDBALBI Iaawa eommnnioatlos from a correspondent at New Orlear. s{J. W.

' AllowBU/toeall year attention to eae de- NEW ORLEANS EDITOR PLAIRDKALKR:-I WLL! try to con­ clude what I have to say of our southern trip •nd visit to the Exposition. In passing througn the departmentot British Honduras we noticed a large collection of Mahogony, Rosewood, Logwood and other strange and valuable woods peculiar to that country Also a set of trucxs used for haul­ ing logs, made by cutting sertfens aoout S Inches thick off the end ot a log 90 inches in diameter, a hole through the center for a wooden axleofrnde construction. Indeed the whole workmanship of that set of trucks would ir dicate having been made many years before edge tools were used. The republic of Honduras also had a large display of valuable woods, medicinal barks, roots, herbs, spices, etc. Japan shows marvelous skill in her fancy work in silks, pottery, crockery, fancy boxes and fhns. Her people resemble the Chinese. The Chinese show their methods of manu­ facturing cloths, a very ancient Mud slow process. Their spinning wheel", loom and other instruments in common use by them, were evidently whittled out with dull wood­ en knives. Tet all articles manufactured by them appear to be ot excellent quality. The display of this peculiar people is intensely interesting. Guatimaia shows costly wuods. nuts and spices. Also a kind of tallow resembling beeswax taken from a tree. Russia has an attractive exhibit of fur and leather. Also a great variety of ornamen­ tal wooden ware. ttiam. exhibits very costly and gorgeous'y gilded fum<tures, very fine laces and milli­ nery goods trimmed in great variety of styles in bright showy colors. Austria and Hungary show great skill in their furniture made of bent wood. Also in their leather goods, Italy shows her sandals, images, beads and jewelry of every description, ornamental Wooden ware, ornamental glas6 goods in very bright and beautiful colors. But as I cannot descibe any part of this ex­ hibit as It would appear to you were you to visit it, I will only add that the display in the main building, where the various nations of the earth have met with their wonders, is of unrivaled interest. Various processes of man­ ufacture in silk, cotton, iron, steel, wood and other materials are shown here, exhibiting wonderful skill. Three monstrous engines representing 1500 horse power, send their throbs like the pulae of a mighty heart through intricacies of machinery, as complex as the humtn body, producing in a very brief space of time a far more beautiful and perfect manufactured articles from the coarse and crude material, than Is possible for human hands to do. Having threaded our way through all the fairy aisles, glittering with all manner of precious and beautiful things, we stopped one Friday afternoen at the Music Hnli to rest This is a hall near the center of the main building seating 5000 people. We here listen­ ed about two hours to the Mexican band con. sisting of 66 pieces, and a more intensely interesting entertainment than this was never my privelege to enjoy. Such surprising skill with mnsical instruments, the variety and style of music has no rival anywhsr^ so far as I know. Indeed this entertainment together with the lighting of the Hall while the band were resting seems to partake somewhat of the miraculous, and will not soon be for. gotten. " ' Having said thus little of the great show let me add very briefly that its object seems to be a grand o,ie, though it may develop some friction, One feels >that the sympathies of the world will be enlarged by this new meth­ od of reading human relations and possibil­ ities. As to the city of New Orleans, I have but little to say, as I was learned when quite young, that if I could not s.y any good of a person it was better to say nothing. Applying this theory to New Orleans I eould say but very little. However, I bfclisve it is one of the most ancient cities of the United States, and is peopled with the strangest combination of races. Spanish, French, Chinese and Negroes of all shades and colors and character seem to occupy one part of the city undisturb3d. while the other part, separated only by Canal Street which seems to be the principal busi­ ness street, are of entirely different races and tastes, principally Americans and a better class of people, though not much given to lavish expenditure in costly residences or business blocks. Indeed there seems to be a want of ambition or enterprise all over the town. The city lies so low that no cellars or basements could be had if wanted, The cis­ terns are all huge round wooden tanks hoop­ ed with iron hoops, built top of the ground from 12 to 20 feet high, near the ends of dwell­ ing houses, from which the rain water is con. ducted to ttem, and from the bottom of them water is conducted ir.to the building again affording all the water used tor domestic purposes. This water when filtered and cool i« excellent drinking water. But when not Altered and no ice in warm weather, Js not very sefreshsng. In some parts of the city oh the American side, there is occasionally seen quite an at tempt at adornment of residences and grounds. In most such instances oranire trses loaded with their golden fruit are seen* and to us formed the principal attraction, some of us never having seen them in bearing oetore, it was really novel and prettv. Another peculiar feature of the cit'v is that in consequence of its beint; so neir under water, the dead are buried in tomt;s or hutre brick ovens with stone or marble fronts, built on top of the ground and cemented inside. When a person is buried in one of them, the front or entrance IH rementud up and a stone or marble <lonr is placet ln front ot same, In many instances associations unite and build 36 or *0 more or les§ of th«se vaults or tombs in one building, vet all separate, ready for use when needed. One, two »r three more families unite in the same way. Often single families have tombs built with a Miifticient number of spaces to accommodate each mem oer of the family, OccaHiominy we Haw quite elaborate and expenHive building* of this character. Then again we would see only a high mound of earth rained up and Bimply stoned or bricked up around it. *• And still EDITOR PLAIKOKALRR:--Wauconda hue survived the shock of the new ad­ ministration and appareutly every* thing <s the same as It was before tlie couutrj was "ruined** Notwithstanding our limited number, all FhaMes of poli­ tical faith are hero represented. We have the straight old line democrats who have hurrahed for the grand oHI party for lo these many years. In fact ever since they were old euougli to talk, who believe re.lgeousiy in the old Jscksonlan principal that to the vktors etc.. That while Cleveland** cranky assertion about civil service, unnecessary offices,etc., were well adap­ ted for campaign purposes, practic­ ally they wore not understood to mean any thing really, and hence If actually carried out. would be an act of bad faith--actually dish'uiest! The party wants pap now, needs I , and must aid will have it. Removals for "offensive partisanship" must be very compre­ hensive. It should Include all such oftenies as blowing, and especially voting for James Blaine, and If Cleve* land hasn't sense enough to see it now when the vast army of the uuterrlfied organize and march en mass upon Washington, he'll have to see It, and don't you forget It. We h ve als i conservative democrats who realize that the party's success wus not due to the extremest, but in part at least, to opposition to the same element !n the other party, and they believe that the anxiety and dissatisfaction of those who expected -i wholes le removal, and the offices Immediately filled by the administrations political friends, wili result in no permanent loss to the Tresident ot their party. The mug­ wumps are happy of course. They denied being iu any sense democrats but beloved that 9erlous evlli exist­ ed, and notwithstanding the past record of the demecratic party, and objeo tionably elements still in it, the^f believed that in the main the tondeucy of the Cleveland element was safer than that of the Blaine, and so they worked and voted for him. The Outrageous abuse to which they have been subjected has made them particularly, watchful, and in their candidates actions thus far, they think they see reason for their faith that there is yet a God in Israel. The straight line re­ publicans have little faith that any good thing can come out of Nazereth or tlie democratic party, still some think perhaps Cleveland would do very well if he could hare hie own way. and would continue in his present course, which, however, they think is not at ail probable. Others who 1 iked Cle veland's talk, and the theory of re­ form and believed in the g>od inten­ tions of many of his supporters, but doubted their strength and who could not bring themselves to help place in power a party, the controlling element of which, but a fey years ngo, were in rebellion, and the evidence of wh >se conversion were not satisfactorily es tablished, are still waiting, and though "harraftsed wi#bdoubts" hoping that thelwisest and best elements North and South will prn#e the strongest. and that J the political miliei.ium has actually begun. The writing of a weekly letter t« the local newspaper is ordinarily at) exceedingy monotonous business. The novelty and so called glory of seeing ones productions in priiK passes away after about the second week, and then weekly obligations, like most work coutinously pursued, becomes prin­ cipally a grind. Occasionally slight errors on the part of the writer or prin­ ter are noted, and then remarks of a cursory nature, reflecting strongly on the writer's natural intelligence, come to his ears. This being about the only indication that his efiorts are ever read, it is peculiarly gratifying both to tlie W tuconda Gazette man. and to the ['LAINDEALKR man to ob­ serve the wholesale approbation which the Lake County Times has accorded to us during the past wintnr, the plan evidently pursued by the enterprising proprietor of that journal or by his correspondent, being to wait a few weeks until the desired amount of mat* ter had accumulated in his exchanges, and then to give his readers a column or so of Wauconda news. It is especi­ ally flattering to us. because the original articles appear worthy of almost exact reproduction. We trust this information will be of value to our readers, because tlie local papers are frequently lost or destroyed and their owners sometiinps wish to refer to an item which nppearedsome weeks before but they are now unable to find the paper. Should this occur agal n we recommend our fiien<is to wait patiently for the succeeding issue of the Lake County Times, and judging from past experience, we are con- tfedf nt that they will a* Idom be oblige to wait more than a month for the desired item.
