I have inquired about you of several former citizens of Iowa, now residents here, and they all with one accord assure me that they know no more about you than they did about Guiteau before that loyal patriot budded into fame.

He dressed in the ‘reg- ulation ministerial garb, and his external appearance, together with his assumed solemn visage, led the people to believe that he was simply the embodiment of righteousness. He claimed a relationship with one of the best families in the city—that tors of the schooner Hernando Cortez. Tampico, May 23.—W. C.

Besides, it is an ascertained melancholy fact that Jeff Davis is fond of peanuts and eats a quart of them every day. Persim- maps would yield well here, but érsimmons were the daily rations of the North Carolina rebels. These, if eaten green, would so pucker your loyal lips that you wouldn't be able to shout treason whenever a southern- er sneezed. Our, soil and climate are admirably adapted to the pro- duction of cow peas, but they are a South Carolina product, and you see it would never do to grow them and remain “trooly loil.” We might Taise the goodly white bean and get the seed directly from New England, bpt both our soil and climate con- Hire against that “trooly Joil” vege- table—strong evidence of another rebellion. In some instances, where counties appropriate large sums of money, say from $1,000 to $3,000, to make elaborate exhibits, they will want to put more money into the ornamen- tation of their pavilions. I have seen pavilions of great beauty made at a cost of $400 to $500. An ele- gant little Gothic structure, hand- somely painted, can be constructed for even a less amount. Now, sir, I would be under obli- gations if you would indicate in your answer to this letter the prevailing character of the exhibit from your county. Let me know what kind of grain will predominate—whether corn wheat or oats and whether you also Propose to display fruits, minerals and woods, I would particularly like information regarding any odd or curious things that you might de- sire to exhibit with the county's nat- ural products as by considering this now the design for the pavilion could be made more conformable to these characteristics. I would suggest that in addition to the mere natural products of your county that a historical element be combined with your exhibit, and if there are any rare curiosities, paint- ings, or relies, they could be added with great advantage.
