4. T A Vcrr Important Onestion L Asked, and a Yerjr Trutliful B Answer Given. Is the smoking of cigarettes hurtful, an so prenonnced by many eminent physi cians ? I will answer first, yes, and why ? There are millions of cigarette being pat on the market, with fine and fancy labels, wrapper,: boxes, etc., and among them are .a great many made by irresponsible parties, and sold at low rates, bat retailed at the same price m the pare goods. . Now each cigarettes are made of the odds and ends and scrapings of cigarrand tobacco factories, being cat into fine cat, , End adulterated with opiam and other in. furious drugs, which produces that unpleas ant taste after smoking; finally, if persisted in, will gire you sore tongue or mouth, and soon (ret in the bronchial tabes and longs, causing serioas, if not fatal trouble. Such cigarette&are not only made of infe- nor and ; mixed tobaccos, bat they are wrapped np in a cheap, vile and poisonous paper, fall of essential oils, etc , and the . pasting or sealing the cigarettes is done by the licking of the tongue, as the paste is pat on the paper when cat and allowed to dry as on common enve'ope. I would al ways prefer to do my own licking. Such cigarettes, of which there are million on the market, I am compelled to say, in jus- . ties to the smokers, are decidedly injuri ous,, and caution the public against them. There are cigarettes on the market which are not hurtful. So far from it they are recommended by our first physL. cians to be aned even by the most delicate invalid in certain stages of catarrh, asth ma, sore throat, and as acting as a good digester and mild cathartic. .But what are they made of ? Only the finest of old, pure, ripe and: mellow, leaf tobacco, and that wrapped in the finest imported French rice paper. I have given a good deal of time and study to the cigarette business, and think I am prepared to speak knowingly on th" subject. When on my way from New York some ten days ago, I, by special invitation, visited Durham, N. C, said to be the center of the world in xmoking to baccos, and I find it justly so. I was kindly taken to the cigarette department of that mammoth smoking establish men t of W. T. Black Well & Co., and I will here say, a courtesy not generally extended in sim ilar establishments, as 1 have knocked at the doors of some and found them closed, not only to an inspector, but to the public; and, as I found myself in the leading manu facturing establishment of the world, I gave it a close ai.d thorough inspection, and saw the whole process of making cigarettes from the old North Carolina leaf, through its varied handlings and manipulations, un til it cameouta full Hedged and perfect cig arette. They work with open doors, and in vite the -public to see and investigate the entire operations. Now, from what I saw 'there, and have seen in my travels all over the world, I must say that Black well fe Co., even if so disposed, could not afford, after millions lot dollars in advertising and ex tending the trade over the whole civilised world, to put poor-goods, or an adulterated article in this new brand of Bull Durham cigarettes. In order to give the public, and especially those most interested, the cigarette; smokers themselves, as we all should know what we eat, drink and smoke, an inside view of what is going on, I will start out by saying that Black well & Co.'s factory is situated in the golden belt of 'North Carolina, noted lor the production of the fiuest and sweetest leaf tobacco that grows onUhe continent, and I say without contradiction, in the world, and of that leaf only they buy, and to-day holding in their warehouse, more and finer leaf tobac co, than any other manufactory in the United States, being over eight million pounds. : Of that leaf they select the best ; to work in their noted brand of Bull Dur ham Long Cut, of which their cigarettes are made, and that alone. No drug, no flavoring, only the pure old North Carolina leaf, and that leaf wrapped in the purest and finest imported rice paper, imported - direct by themselves, and every ream of paper before being cut into wrappers, are first immersed in a large vat of the strong est alcohol and allowed to remain forty eight hours, then taken out and dripped and dried, which process expels from . the paper, if any, all the essential oils, etc., etc,, etc., also causing it to burn freer, and give not. a particle of paper taste in smoking. The paste used in mak ing the Cigarettes in other words, sealing the wrapper is made of pure rice flour, and made fresh every two hours to keep it sweet and pore, and it is placed about a teaspoon ful on a piece of marble, 4x4 inches, and on it a small stick made of white wood about as large as a lead pencil, flat at one end, and the smallest i article of the paste is with it applied to the edge of the pit per and the finger lightly run over r it, making it a complete and nice finish, everythingbeing done in the most system atic, clean and neat way, the entire depart ment locking like a nice, well-kept parlor. No leaf lobaccO is worked in the brand of this cigarette until two to three years old, giving it that mild, mellow and sweet flavor so much sought after and So seldom found. , I HOW FLAVORED. " Some! twenty-five years ago, fall the chewers of goodjmd fine tobacco will well and pleasantly recollect the bid and familiar brand of chewing tobacco called the "Honey Dew," and the best chew in the world. Can't get it now and why? Because the demand calls. for different and cheaper goods , and by it common leaf has to be worked, and in order to make it pleasant to the taste as all common green and neW tobaccos are bitter consequently sugar, mola-ses, liquorice etc, had to b- sub stituted to give in part that sweet taste so popular in the genuine Honey Dew. Now, what was the Honey Dew made of? Why, simplyi and plainly this: the small but honest bid tobacco farmers of North Car olina: they were not only in tho?e days farmer!, but manufacturers also,j as a great many j of them put up, , as they termed it, their own crops in their rude and simple, bnt honest way and no adulterations. Why the swe-t flavor?! it was this that gave it not sugar, but honey and pure honey from Heaven. They allowed their little crops of tobacco to remain growing in the field until fully ripe, never catting it until the crop took what they termed the August dews, to give it the Sweet honey flavor and taste: and only from those honest farmers originated the brnd of Honey Dew chewing tobacoo. And that same section the golden belt of North Carolina has for the past five years gone back to the raising and ripening of that identical rich, mild, mellow and ripe tobacco; and of that identical tobacco, while jin Durham, Colonel Bhtckwell took me tO:hi various warehouses and showed me millions of pounds, and said to me, the very best selection of this tobacco I put in my n4w brand of Bull Durham cigarettes and I am determined to mike ihem what I hate made my Ball Durham Granulated robacco the leader of the world, that is if good goods, neat work, and the very best of material of every kind will do it. left the factory, believing what I saw, that there was one brand of cigarettes on the market that was made of pure leaf and flavored only with the heavenly dew, and that was Black well's Ball Durham. I can truthfully say They are mild, mellow, sweet and pure They are flavored only with the heavenly dew ; The above we rive as the (acts in full, For other proof look oat tot the Ball. Cotton as a Domestic Com modity. Cor. Cincinnati! Commercial. To the Southern visitor, especially, at the Exposition, the ojeration of spooling cotton, the intricate and marvelous ma chinery used, and the busy and skillful operatives at work in the various depart ments, is a thing which never, fails to attract their undivided attention. Parsing through the main building from wet to east, immediately beyond - the exhibit of the slate Department at Washington, which is located on a portion of the space origi nally belonging to Messrs. J. & P. Coals, and kindly donated by them, is the display of the Messrs. Coats, framed in by the most elegant spool cotton sign in the Ex position. It is composed of 16,000 spool-", of 200 separate colors, embracing the latest ombre and other fancy shades. The frames are richly molded, with plate-glass cover-' ings, and the spool-work is of very artistic design and finish. The exhibit covers an area of thirty by sixty feet, and is fur nished, in addition to the machinery, with raised seats at one extremity for the com fort of visitors, who can thus enjoy their ease while they are being entertained hy the various processes there presented. All of the machines are automatic and labor saving. The first is the skein spooler, which winds the thread from the hanks on to large bobbins, from which it is taken to the winding machines, which transfer ex actly 20 yards to the spool, and is then ready to repeat the operation From here it is taken to the ticketing machine, an ingenious automatic arrangement, proba bly the most interesting of all the v&riou operations. This machine cuts the little circular labels from large sheets and pastes and places them firmly on either end of the sooI. The goods are then removed to the packing frble, where other opera tives are at work in full view of the public, making paper boxes, some of them hold ing full dozens and others single spools, the latter to be given to lady visitors. All o: tne macnines used, wnicn have at other expositions taken the highest medals, are me inventions oi iur. xiezeKian vonant, who is very prominently connected with the American mills of -Messrs. J. & P. Coats. At another table two sewing machine operatives are constantly at work, making book-marks ot colored satin, which are given as souvenirs to visitors. An elabo rate show case stands at one end of the space, and others partly cover the broad counters on either side. Messrs. J. & P. Coats are the ' largest thread makers in the world. Their suc cessive descendants have been famous on account of the product of their great fac tories at Paisley, Scotland. Within the last ten yers they have erected five mills at Pawtucket, R. I., the fourth mill being completed in the Centennial year, and cost over one million dollars. It contains a Corliss engine of one thousand horse power. Mill number five, now nearly complete, is 500 feet in length,, four stories in height, besides a basement, and contains more floor space than any other spool cotton mill in the United States or Scotland. Mr. James Coats, the eldest son of Sir Peter Coats, is at the head of the American busi ness, and they employ in both countries, directly and indirectly, over seven thous and operatives. Tne old -house of Auch incloss Brothers, founded in 1810, and now mostly in the third generation, is the New York agency. The firm has other agencies in Philidelphia, Boston and San Francisco. Great credit is due for the present display to Captain J. W. Thomas, the Southern a?ent of Messrs. Auchincloss in Atlanta. He is assisted by Mr. J. S. Oiis. the rep resentative in your city of the firm, both gentlemen having been for many years identified with the business. Clark's O. N. T. Spool Cotton. In attempting to give a description of Clark's O. N. T. spool cotton machinery in motion at the Exposition building,- it would be impossible to do the subject justice. The machinery of this company is so far superior to that of any other spool cot ton manufacturer that comparisons in this case would really he odious. It requires to le seen to be believed. There is something almost supernatural about Clark's O. N. T. spooling machinery. It seems only to want the gift of speech to make it perfect. Their new automatic ticketing machin ery is also a very wonderful piece of me chanism. This machine is registered to put the tickets on both ends of the 'spool at once. It gums them and cuts them and iuts ihem on at the rate of 170 spools per min.. ute, or 102,000 in a working day of ten hours. Such marvels require to be seen to b believed. Every lady and gentleman should era brace this opportunity of witnessing what the genius of the nineteenth century has produced in machinery. The American Star Bicycle. Thousands of people, many of whom never saw a bicycle before have been deep ly interested in the exhibition of the American Star Bicvcle, as operated on the grounds by A. M. Hall. This bicy cle is different from and better than any other yet introduced, in having the steer ing wheel in front, making it more sensi tive and much easier gu;ded, being impossible to take a header. It is oafer, easier to mount and dismount, and easier to master. Hundreds of young and middle agd men have learned to ride the Ameri can Star Bicycleon the Exposition grounds, and the graceful exhibitions of the experts andamatners have attracted more attention perhaps than any one feature of the exhi. bition. This beautiful and superior ma chine is manufactured bv H. B. Smith machine Company, Smithville. Burlington county, New Jersey, who will give full particulars to all inquiries. Important Points. In Public Comfort bnilding at the outh end of the Main building is the place - to t'et a nice lunch for 15 to 25 cents. An Extra good dinner for 60 cents. Ladies parlof adjoining Wan a maker & Brown. The exhibit of this enterprising Phila delphia firm iaone of the best in the line of clothing in Art Hall. A description of the display would not be as interesting to the reader as the following bit of history : THE STORY OF OAK HALL. Oak' Hall stands at the south-east corner of Sixth and Market Streets, Philadelphia, a locality rich in historic memories. TJn this spot once stood the home of Robert Morris, the patriotic financier of-the Rev olntion ; one block away, in a house still standing, Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence; the shadow of the State House in which that treat document was executed, falls within a hundred yards; and upon adjoining ground stood the man sion of George Washington. The heroic spirit of the days of the Revolution seemed still to linger about the spot as the inspi ration of the heads and brains of the young men who founded Oak Hall just as the conflict of the civil war began in the spring I of 1861. Ex periencrd men looked doubt fully on the modest little enterprise, and predicted early failure as the reward of Mr. Wanamak'er's pluck. The war times made sad havoc with opinions, political, military, and mercantile, but the theory ot failure put by imputation upon Oak Hall found no resting-place in the mind of its projector. It was a hard fight for life, against heavy odds, during 1861 and 1862. With the early days of 1863 theskie brightened, the already increasing business grew still more rapidly, the stock was augmented in ad vance of every demand, the community became aware that it was now being served with clothing as it never had been before, and thus Oak Hall cea-ed to be an experi ment, and became a fact. Gradually it absorbed surrounding properties until it reached its present great proportions of six stories, 66 feet front by a depth of 188 ftet. and became the Largest Retail Clothing House. Outr of Oak Hll the house of John Wanamaker &C-.,on Chesnut Sireet, was organized in 1S68, for the accommodation of buyers on that thoroughfare; and in 1876 the Grand Depot, formerly the Freight Dpot of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was opened, at first as a Clothing House, but it has annexed adjoining properties and increased in facilities, until now it is the Largest Dry Goods and Outfitting House m Philadelphia. Its forty-odd depart ments will dress a man, woman, or child complete from head to feet, will furnish a house: entire, be-ides supplying almost everything that utility or taste can ak. These; st'-res are worth a long journey to visit, and increase their attractions con stantly. An understanding of what the people wili sustain, and a firm devotion to estab lished principles, have been the roots of thiH jwonderful growth. The following ideas kupplrihe absolute laws upon which all Oak Htll methods are based: FirM. The largest stock, equal to any demand of taste, economy, or ize. Second. Excellence of quality, combined with economy of price. Third. One price only, and that the lowest. Jfowth. No old stock. The application of these principles is so simple and complete that confidence cannot be abased, a child can buy upon as favor able conditions as the shrewdest man. We understand most thoroughly that lifting success depends upon the confidence of buyers. The business is constantly progressive. There is no pause in our forward move ment. Before objective points are fairly gained, we are seeking new modes for public service. This fragmentary sketch may give some idea of the magnitude of Oak Hall and its connections. The story of a business sue. cH8 i always instructive, and the lesson of Oak Hall is, that with the same mind at the bead which has directed its affairs rom the beginning, the story of the past is the sure proplncy of tne .future. The success rooted in energy and achieved through principal will be maintained, because the energy will not flag, nor will the principles of the business he neglected.

T..e exhibit of this enterprising manu factory i creditable in every ,resect. It is found in the middle of the north wing, where no one who passes through the main building can tail to see. it. They hav the most handsome and effective display of scales ever made in any exposition, includ ing everything from a letter scale to a forty-ton track scle. Upon shelving ar ranged in the form ol a pyramid are letter scales and counter scales of all sizes and descriptions, the whole surmounted by an elegant pair of platform peaks,' with deco rations of bright colored flags and stream ers. A handsome portable, with glass plat form, shows the peculiar advantages of the Howe system and the abseue pfQcrheck rods, such as are ued in old fashioned scales. One of the curiosities of the ex hibit is a new invention which will prove a boon to the cotton planter a scalevhich shuts up like ajack-knife, and can be put in the wagon aid used anywhere in the cotton field. Their broad platform, with wide flange, is especially adapted to weigh ing salt meats, etc. The Howe cotton beam is unquestionably the finest scale in the world. There is also a curious combination in a scale for weighing either by the metric or pound system. Nearly all of the goods on exhibition are taken from stock, with out extra finish, but they are all elegantly finished, showing good taste and fine work manship. Mr. J. H. Mead, whois the representative of the Howe Scale Com P'riy in the South, is in charge of the exhibit. The principal office is 325 Broad way, New York. Chicago's 4 lass Hen. The small sum of ten cents is charged to see this most wonderful and interesting in vention, where by means of artificial heat and electricity chickens are hatched by thousands. This is a feature that does not belong to the Exposition proper, but no one will regret seeing the greatest inven tion of the aj:e. Crowds eo to see it every day and no one ever regrets the time and money spent there. It looks like the hen's occupation was gone; she will hve nothing t do now but go a visiting and lay the eggs. This wondt-rful curioity has teen removed to the south side of the north wing of the main building, where visitors will find it without going outside. It was formerly in a tent in an out-of-the way plaos. Eclipse Pu niping and Power Mills. - A little to the right of the main entrance, the eye of the visitor is met by a wind-mill, flanked with an elevated cistern. The lofty and sy metrical tower on which the mill stand", together with the elegant form and movement of the machine itself, make it at once a noticeable exhibit. On closer examination, it proved to be the celebrated M Eclipse Wind Engine," of Beloit, Wis consin, snd was famishing water for the drinking stand and fountains of the Art Gallery, besides watering the thirsty mul titude. The Eclipse mill is already known to the public through the scientific and ag ricultural journals of this and foreign countries as the leading machine of its cUbs. The following facts, however, given by the representative, Mr. Wheeler, will show the remarkable progress of this world-renowned machine : The Eclipse Pumping and Power Mills were firs" manufactured at Beloit, Wis., ii. 1867. From a beginning which was necessarily of a primitive character, the demand was purely local. . When the peculiar adaptability of these mills for raising water and securing cheap power became known, thei r U me spread rapidly, and in a few years the company counted the leading Statesof the Union on their shipping roll. These were quickly followed by others, until, at the prtsent timeof writing, they are forwarded to every civil ized country on the globe. The foreign agencies nf this company are found ai Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and Moscow and Odessa, Russia. In the United Stales and in the North, East and West,princi pally under th patronage of so reliable a firm as the Fairbank's Scale company, their agencies are found in Boton, Baltimore, New York, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Ind. St. Louis Chicago and San Franci'co. The South has been represented from the home office atBeloil. In connection with the exhibit which was made at the At lanta . Exposition, Mr. Wheeler informed me that it was the inten tion of the company to locate a whole sale house for the South at Atlanta, Ga., and a branch factory at New Orleans, La. This compeny have been awarded four gold medals, 6ve silver and three bronre medals atthe World's four leading fairs, as well as being the recipient of over 100 premiums and diplomas. Referring to some recent orders taken by this companv, Mr. Wheeler informed me that the C. St. P. and M. R. R. have given a contract to them amounting to $50,000. The whole railroad trade of the company amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, and includes & cuhmers the leading trunk lines of the United S ates and the Canadas. Wind power is lound to have a large field in the South, as the numerous orders of the company abundantly show. Willimautic Spool Cotton. Cor. Louisville Coarier-Joi.raul.' The Wiliimuntic was among the first to realize the importance and avail itself of the advantages of the Great Co'.ton Fair, losing no time in securing for itself the largest and perhaps most prominent space occupied by any other single exhibit. Not only ihis, but they were among the first on the ground, and have now at actual work, the various pieces of machinery used in making the Willimantic thread. Their di-play is in itself a complete and perfect thread factory, for the operation ot which they have brought from the home works, a full complement of men and a large number of young ladies some would say factory girls, but if good manners, in telligence and dignified demeanor go for aught, I have not miscalled them every one ol whom is able, not only to do her al lotted work with clock-like precision, but can always, with seeming pleasure, fiud time to tell the curious visitor how it is done. THE OLD WAY AND THE NEW. In order to show a striking contrast, the Willimantic manager sent outinto the country and employed several old ladie", two of whom card the cotton, another spins it on her wheel, while still another, with ready bauds, sends the shuttle through "the warp" of an old-fashioned loom. All this is done just as it was done thirty years ago. Will the next hundred make comparatively such a contrast? It is but natural for Southern people to want to know what isd jne with their great staple, and, therefore, the Willimantic is being examined by more eager lookers and learners than perhaps half the other exhib its combined. People are daily spending from two to three hours looking at its wonderful workings, and, leaving it, pro test their watches to the contrary not withstanding that they Jxave been there only a very few minu'es. A very danger ous place this Wiilimantic, for the visitor without ample leisure, for it is likely ts beguile him to break engagements and mi.-rt trains. : Atlanta Kxpoition. We deem the following from the S. Louik Republican, of sufficient interest to at rant our reproducing it in full. It i a little out of date, but it expresses the s ntinient in regard to the success of the Exp sitionj: From a private letter: "Up to the present time there has been a disappointment in the numbers of people who h ve yiited the Exposition, but the indications ire growing ntronjfer daily that the o?ople of the country, and of the Soutn especiallv, are waking up to the fact, that a most in teresting, varied and instructive display awaits them here. In conversation with visitors fnm eery section of the country who have come, the testimony is universal that its m. gnitode is far greater than they had any ioYa of. St. Louis has been closely a lied with the. South; there is a strong feeling of kinnhi and affectionate interest existing in the mir.(is ol Southern people towards St. Loui, and every element is fa vorable for its continuance. The opportu nity i afforded through this great Exposi tion to cultivate this feeling, and I regret exceedingly that St. Louis has not taken a more active part in the way of exhibits, but it is not too late for the people of fct. Louis to testify their appreciation of what has been done. I hope to see a larg num ber of our active business .men here. It will do them good, accommodations are ample, prices very reasonable, and a h.-arty welcome awaits them. The Expedition Hotel, where I am staying, can provide for a thousand guests, ard Mr. Brown, the ge nial landlord, will make their stay pleasant in every way." St. Louis, Nov. 11, 1881. 2dUor fiepult Ikan Dear Sir: We band you the above ex tract fiom a letter from our Mr. C. C. Adams, who is at present iu Atlanta, at tending to our exhibit there. It seems to ps that it contains information and sugges tions which will be of interest. Very truly, E. Jaccard Jkwblky Co. . Get Your Things Checked. Gentlemen and ladies will find it bur densome to carry overcoats,, wraps, um brellas, valises and packages with them through the building, and they should go to the Public Comfort bpildmg, or give their things to boys in uniform on the grounds, taking a check for them and call for them when ready to leave. The par ties having the check-room in charge are thoroughly responsible, and there is no risk in placing valuable ! articles in their care. The New York. Purchasing Agency Of Mad. Cooley is represented in the Art Hall, by a charming assortment of ladies' and children's dresses, patterns and novel ties. Mm'e. Cooley will make purchases of any articles for personal wear or house hold use, giving ladies wbo reside in the South the advantage of a thorough ac quaintance with the leading houses of the metropolis, excellent judgment and good taste. She gives the best references, and has given satisfaction to all who have n trnsted their bnines-' in her hand-. Her add re- is No. 451 Wset Twenry-Second ft New York". Something to Eat. The Exposition company was very for t.n.ate indeed in secaring the aid of Messrs J. L. Jones & Co., of 432 Broadway, New York, in the matter of entertainment. Messrs. Jones & Co. have charge of the restaurant, bar, and also lunch stand in the main building, and they furnish first-class dinners and lunches at reasonable prices. They have every Itiiury and, the.cooking i- par excellance. Any one can get a fine lunch or dinner f r from 20 cents to a dol lar and a half, according to taste and neces sity. The system of ordering is Conven ient and perfect. Every one orders what he wants and knows what it will cost him. Don't-fail to sample their pumpkin pies. Warner's Cotton Worm-Killer. One of the curiosities on the grounds is a Texas saddle tquipped with a pair of unique bags tilled with water. On in quiring what this is tor, you-will be in formed by Prof. Jack Warner, a regular old brick, that it is to kill the cotton worm. He will then explain to you how he uses poison mixed with the water, and with one hand and a hor.-'e with this accoutrement on, he will, in one day, destroy every worm o twenty-five acres of cotton. He ja backed by good certificates, and he is in' dead earnest. Prof. Warner was the quartermaster that fed the Libby prisoners during the war, at Richmond, andjt is said he was a good feeder. He was born in Ohio and raised in Mississippi, and since the war has lived in Texas. Talk with him and he can explaiu this maehine to perfection. Messau W ood Distilling Co. One of the most interesting exhibits on the grounds, especially K those living in the "turpentine UUt" is the new and won derful invention of Wm. Messao, for the distillation of pine wood. A company has been organized with Chas. H. Conner, a prominent manufacturer of Louisville, Ky., as General Manager. The test of this in expensive apparatus, made under - the direction of scientific men, a few days ago; showed as the product of one cord of pine wood: 13 gals, turpentine; I43gals. Pyrolig neus acid (from which giay acetate of lime is made); 64 gallons of tar and 64 bushels of superior charcoal. This tst was made under the especial supervision of Ernest Sjostedt, mining engineer, the distinguished chemist of the Shelby Iron Works, Shelby, Ala. Besides this and other tests, there will be an official test made bv a committee of expert appointed by the Exposition authorities whose rtport may be considered thoroughly reliable and authoritative. This new process of distill ation has created unbounded interest and enthusiasm, as it will unquestionably rev olutionize the turpentine business of the South. Display for Housekeepers. The exhibit of Messrs. McBride & Co., of Atlanta, up-stairs, near the centre of the Industrial Art building:, m one of the hand- somest displays of China silver-plated ware and hou-e furrrUhin goods in the Exposition. In tact, there is not another hke it. It is a display of peculiar interest to housekeepers who wish to mingle busi- nesd with pleasure, for, aside from the new. beautiful and interesting articles here ex- htbited, onejean learn a valuable lesson on uouaiuerauou. x utse nrv iwuea ui ues housekeepin. They hav- also a complete tiny which we cannot evade,; they are line of Seth Thomas' clocks, and not the imnerative otiestions which must be least interesting articles in this exhibit are two new and indispensable articles which should he in every houses the Gate City Stone Filter, which is the cheapest, beat and most convenient filter we have ever seen ; and the wonderful fruit dri r, known a Cherry's Patent Fruit and Vegetable Lvaporator, the best and cheapest article tor that purpose in the world. Messrs. McBride & Co. have State and county rights for i h se patents fjr sale, andany one out of business can make a fortune upon a small capital by purchasing the right to manufacture or sell them. I Thomas Meikle & Co. In passing through the building contain ing the farm machinery a noticeable display is that of Thomas Meikle & Co., of L u iaville, Ky. This enterprising firm are unable, oing to their limited space, to exhibit all the one hundred and twenty five ditlerent plows manufactured by them, but have brought to the Exposition some of their newest implements. Amongst these, attracting great attention, is their Tongueiess Walking Cultivator. This .Cul tivator has charmed the planter's eye by its novel features of running without a tongue and being suited for working any of the steel blades in common use Houth. Its very moderate price of sixteen dollars puts it within the reach of every one's pocket. Their Riding Plow, too, is ahead of alt others in the newn.ssof its design. The plow hangs outside the carriage which runs entirely on the hard ground, and the whole is surmounted by an umbrellarwhich has at once impressed the farmers with com fort and made their wives and daughters anxious to exchange the nursery for the field. Meikle & Co.'s large works, with a capa.city of seven hundred Plows a day, are rapidly sending their implements to every town in the &,utb. They have in stituted one reform which they claim, and jusdy too, will be a great source of economy to the consumers, that of the interchange abilityif parts. They hav labored con scientiously to ihis end, and this fact that duplicate parts may be had almost any where for their plows has given thera a larsre trade. ANDREWS' PARLOR ! -r 20 STYLES.

A. walk through the brilliant avenues of the vast main building, and the numerous annexes and separate Staled buildings, is riot only a source of infinite pleasure, buf an invaluable source of practical edu cation as well. The eye is delighted by the kaleidoscopic beauty of the scene, the mind is impressed with the marvelous ingenuity and genius of the age; the energies of the spirit are in vigorated by the throb and thrill of modern progress, as embodied in this grand Exposition. y . We have here a bird's-eye view of the inventive and productive results of the last quarter of this nineteenth century.
