Now Yong, Feb. 81.—The whaif of tho United States ship 8upply, which {s to safl for France on Monday next, presents a busy scone. Tho cascs of exhibits for the Paris Exposition ard belug stowed as carcfully and compactly s possitile, and as rapldly, Asthe vessal fills, the remalning rows of boxes In tho storchouse confirm Conmissloner McCormick’s bellel that a third ship wlil be nocessary to comnleto thetransport flotilla fuenished by tuo Govern- ment. Thers wore rumors a day or two since tust, in view of tho prospcct of a general Furopean war, the Exposition had been post poned indefinitely. A fow telegrams exploded the attomdted sensatfon, which did not fora moment interrupt the work of packing. Under the peremptory orders for salling, zoods wero forwarded promptly by exhivltors, and no oce casion has been given for delay, CHICAGO AT TUE BXFOBITION. . Looking through tho Mst of entries kindly placed ot my disposal by Gov. McCormick, 1 find that Chicago will be ropresented by nino firms,—n falr showing, compared with any other Western city. The Pullman Palace-Car Comm- pany will exhibit a model of thelr palaco sleeping-car. Crano Bros. Manufacturing Com- pany display malleable-iron castings. C. H. & 1.J. McCormlck send thoir Improved reapers, Peter Schuttlor wlil occupy considerable space with his finest-finlahed wagons, Compresscd cooked meats are forwarded by the Wilson Packing Company, and reflocd lard by Fafr- bank & Co. O, D. Mosher aud Joshua Bmith send photographs, Lapham, Swibart & Co, ara booked atmply for leatber. For all the rest of the great State of Illinols, only two names ap- pear, The Htinols Bpringfeld Watch Company will exhibit watch-movements and parts of watches; and Decre & Co., of Mollue, enter na manufacturers of superior plows. Milwaukeo's Best Brewlng Company wlll tempt a winc-loving people with bottled beer. Gov. McCormick said he was agrceably disap- polnted in tho ready resvonse of Ameriean mane ufacturers, after the long-delayed action of the Governmnent. Tho prospect at flrst was dectd- edly ngainst us. In tho first place the nppro- ristion was not mado till goods kiad already Eenn forwarded by countries much nearer France than ours is, and when made it was s0 small as to limit tho outlay In cvery dircetion, Takug theso circumatances Into consideration, the ex- bibit now promisad to be vory croditable, and in some Lines was excellent, Tho monoy had been erefully apportioned, so as to sccure ns wile a range as possible without neglecting thosa brauches mioro dlstinctively American in de- velopment. AMERICAN ART. There has boen constderable comment about the Art Committee, and o consequent diaplay of much fll-nature. Tho critics complnlned of everything and everybody connccted with this department. They sald the matter should have been placed in the hands of the National Acad- eny, They asked what business men could yosuibly know about what works were it to rep- resent our artiats abrond, and numerous ques- tions of liko scosc, apparently forgetting who aro the patrons of art snd the purchasers of foe polotings. On this polnt Gov. Me Cormick felt that . much fnjustice had bect dono bim and the gentlemen selected as the Art Comimittee. e had devoted $25.000 of bis siender alluwanco to this departmoent, Ho had choson o large number of gentlemen, (n. cludlng artiats and tho best known connolsscurs and judges {n the city, ond had besoueht themn toserve. Al dectloed except tho members of the present Committce, It was not truc that these memnbers knew nothing about art, On the contrary, the President of the Natlonal Academy uad attonded thelr wectings, nud bad sonafly assured him of their ood judginent., tie lustructlons to the Cominlttee wore of the moat Itberal character, and gavo thom evory facllity to securo u creditable collection, 'I'ho Commission offercd fo pay the exponse of packs Ing, in addition te all otlicr costs, and guaran- teed Insuranco to an amount in excess of value that would satfsfy any reasonable man, The same frecdom of expenso was extended to artists whoso pleturcs were for sale, thus treat- g them with o lberality forclgn artists had not recetved from thelr Guvernmonts, The Art Committce had takcn hold of its thankicss tuk with cncrsy and couwld succeed, if uny tommittee could, in walolng access to tho pri- vate gallerfos containing the finest productions of American artists.

'Tho beautiful and cultured asked for thelr promised pay and prizes, and wero Klwn slips of paper, sold to be ordera that would bo converted Into cash at the offlce of the manager, if presented on rnd after Mounday, Tho congresa did not like the idea, and mado some remarks which, It 15 to be feared were at varianco_with the advertised standard of refluement. ‘there was no money in wrath, however, nor any hielp for It. 8o the congress flled into tho office nol lnnll{ occuvled by B, W, itcheock, broker'and real-vstate speculator, and walted for him. ‘The clerk protested thal the man was out of town, but the unpald falr had lost falth fn man and woman, and did tho best they could to have & merry time of {t ulll the hour arrlved ‘for closing tho bullding.

Mr. Gilmoro did not loso anything; leavo bim algno for scoing to that, Ho nsked $1,200 for o week’s rent, and got _half of it in advance. Every ufght at 6 o'clock ho was to recelve 8100 moré, or thu congress must suddenly adjolrn. After the disgracctul acone of Mouday night, it is suid that Mr. Gilmore offered to_ rcfund 8300 of thedeposit if the manager would surrender his contract., This Mitcheock refused, but agreed that sucli a *lobly"" mob stiould not azaln interfero with tho rrcccc(llngl of tho cougress, ‘The recelpts of the week are of at about $8,600. Mr. Gllmore got his $1,2 and the hfln(i. which had to be pald {n advance, was flnancinlly sustafned. Otherwise, o fur as known, the bills of all kinds remaln unsettied. It perpetually so to remaln, and thete s no fu- dicatton to the contrary, tho profits of the management were very fair indeed, and 1t would not be surprsing to hear of n slmilar scheme in othor cities.

There would have boen a row within tho cone gress had not the general desiro for vengeanco on the deceitful man overcome ol other feol- ipge.

It grew, Tonay like, from one shapo and dimen- afon to another, but In whatever #ize or shapo, 1, was always o freo {nstitution. It waa up the ol ateep wooden stalrway on the Spruce street alde that the great American tragedian, Edwin Furrest, marshaled his way ono alterncon to ‘'saynplecs” to florace Greeluy, A cortain critic had discovered that Forrest was not no- cording to Bhakspéare’s (deal in o portion of one of his performances.

QOreeley stood face to face with the grufl tragedinn, and kept moving towanl the doorway, Forrest moving backward untfl he felt himself in danger of toppling down the steep stafr, and emptying out Into Spruce strect. To be bricf, Forrest was afraid of Gree- ley, and **made tracks" down that stair as specdily ns If he had traveled the rond as often ns Ureeley, All Greeley sald In the conversa- tion was: ' My naio is Greeley, what do you want?" Forrest sald all the rest, and did not articulate very well, either.

That room cone tained the Hbrary; every editor and reporterhad access to It. There was very little passed in the * way of conversation {n the Zribuneofiico at that time which was not within the hearing of every- body In either of the rboms. The onter room was not much larger than the fnuer one, but it accommodated Mr. Ripley, the book reviewers Mr. 8now, the munoy ciditor; Mr, Otterson, the clty editor; Mr. Uleveland, the exchange ed- Itor; Don Henderson, the man of figures, anda host of reporters. It was rather close quarters, and when Urecley eotered the office some time during the day, he was sure to blurt out some remark such e, “Well, a pretty good paper, this morning,” or probably, “Ott (meaninyg Otteraon), what fool wrote tadt para- graph in the city columul” Iio scemed to' think that the only parngraph Lo which be took exception must lio recognized by everybody clee, just ns it appeared to him. ~ it was after auch a question one forenoun that Mr, Otterson addressed his chief, raylng: “Ureeley, you stumble over very smnll things, 1 suppose If the Tribune wos 1ull of amnll-‘lux you would never seo it.” It took half an hour " for the re- oly.
