North Carolina at ti Cotton Exposi tionThe Wonderful Sesoarces of Her Forests, Fields ani Kines An Unexplored Empire of Hidden Wealth A Large and Creditable Display. Corr Charleston News and Courier. ; Atlanta, Nov. 7. North Curoliua deserves praise for making one of tbe largest and most creditable uit plavH of agricultural, mineral and manufacturing pi'olucts ia the en tire Exposition. In extent and va riety, excellence of arrangement and thoroughness of preparation, it is an honor to the State and a standing testimonial to the tireless energy and patriotic exertions of the Hon M. McGehee, the State Commission er oj Agriculture. I tie display oc cnpie8 one nalt oi tue western wing of the Railroad Building, and shows the vast range of minerals, woods. soils and products contained iu the State the achievement of the pres ent aiid the possibilities of the fu ture. The limbered wealth of NortI Carolina has not been developed. and no effort worthy of the name hits been trade to utilize the product of the forests, uiore are fifty thous and square mils of territoiv in the Slate covered bv forests which have scarcely been touched by TUH WOODMAN S AXE. ; S:tsaii shipments of lumber me made to Philadelphia, Now York, ii:dtimore, Boston 'aad ooeasionaily to the West Indiei, but eo large mills have been established, no f urni ture factories aro in operation, and the principal consumption of the timber iB in the construction of rail roads and in supplying the necessary limited local demand. In the east era part of tbe State the trade in cypress shingles is immense, and lately the exportation has begun of walnut lumber to foreign countries from Asheville, in Buncombe county. This business is yet in its infancy, but it is the beginning of a large and lucrative industry. Of the speci mens of native woods on exhibition there are 112 distinct specimens, em bracing all the common varieties and the ornamental woods. In Western North Carolina there axe immense belts of cherry, and the supply of black and white walnut is practically unlimited. The western walnut which has heretofore held the mark et has been largely exhausted and now commands high prices, thus af fording ready sale to the supply iu this new lield. largest Of the different kinds of woods most valuable in the arts in the United States, there are 22 species of oak, 19 of which are found in North Carolina and so on, as follows: United States. North Carolina. Pine. . . .8 Bpecies 8 Spruce.. 5 " 4 JJ-JlLU. ... .4 O Walnut. 3 " 2 Birch... 5 " 4 Maple . . 5 5 Hickory..8 ' 6 Magnolia 7 " 7 Perhaps no other State in the tJnion can make snch a showing. In western North Carolina there arc immense bodies of whith pine tim ber that have not been touched. The extension of the Western North Carolina Railroad now being built, particularly th6 Ducktown branch, the Yadkin Valley lioad, and the road from the East Tennesse line to the cranberry works are now in pro cess of construction, and numerous other projected lines will throw this country open and make a market for the timber for which there is now no demand. The price per acre for the timbered lands in the State ranges from five to fifteen dollars no price has been fixed on them as timbered lands. In Eastern North Carolina there is an almost Inexaustible SUPPLY OF PITCH PINE, the belt of country extending from Virginia to the South Carolina border and averaging at least from sixty to seventy miles ia width. I In the coast country there are large quantities of cypress which are so surrounded by swamps as to be comparatively inaccessible. The swamps are susceptible of drainage, however, but this can only be ac conrplished by associated effort and investment of large capital. The cypres - timber extends along the whole coast and for many miles into the interior It i&.worthy of special note that all the-woods of the State can be highly polished. THZ MINERAL WEALTH . of Nor,th, Carolina is unbounded, and as sho?n by the specimens on exhi bition of more varied richness than that of ..any other Southern State. Minerals exist in the breateBt quan tities from the simply useful to the iorm oi precious gems, oi the use ful copper and iron there are valu able deposits all over the Piedmont country and the western, section of the State, The Ore Knob Copper Mine, is the most largely worked and yields a large product for which there is x eady sale. The Conrad Hill Mine, in Davidson county, is also a very . valuable property, and in Meek -lenburg, Rowan, Ashe and Guilford counties there are mines in successful Operation. They are all in the hands of individual corporations, and as they publish no results, their actual pioduct is unknown; but the surest evidence of their capacity and profit ableness is found in -the fact that their rnachinery and working force are being increased year by year, ! Iron in the highest form exists in the central and western parts of the State. Extensive mines are now be ing successfully operated and new bnes aro being opened. The greater part of their product is worked up outside of the State, there being but few foundries and no rolling mills of large capacity in the State. Among the ores most largely worked in North Carolina are the gold ores, some rich specimens cf which are on exhibition. Their; ex istence has long boeo known, and the gol.- HHiiiig bvlt coveis almost two-thirds of the S'ate, ex ;et ding fro Franklin .ounty. in E tr tern Noil C.iiiiliiiii, entirely ucrrKS to the wtAKit-rii boundary or the State.

Exteu.sive beds of bitu tuitions coal are situated iu Chatham county, about forty miles from Ral eigh. It e Jntains more or less ; sul pour, but, when tne lx,-ds are more fully explored, it is expected that the coal will be found m a much purer tonn. ihe principal tinues have lately passed into the hands i of a company of Northern capitalists, Hvho are moving down their machinery afid preparing to work the beds on a large scale. Other beds of semi bituminous coal lie in Rockingham and Stokes counties. It frequently crops out on the surface, and' under lies the bod of one of the principal tributaries of the Dan River. These deposits have not been worked to any great extent, as wood is abund ant in this section of the State and there are no means of transporta tion. Railroads are now building through Rockingham county, iand there is little doubt that t he beds! will soon be opened up. Coal is also found in Granville county, north of the State capital. ; : Cirapmts is also widely distributed throughout the State, and speci mens have been found in Burke, Yancy, Catawba, Person, Cleveland, Gaston and Lincoln c6unties. There i a most extensive bed in Wake county, which runs in a northeasterly and southerly direction, is from six teen to eighteen miles in length, and of an average thickness of from two to four feet It has been partially developed, and is of good quality. All the minerals used in the man ufacturing arts are found in North CLxoliua in immense quantities, specimens of which are contained in the collection at the Exposition. KAOLIN AXD TALC abound in large deposits. The kaolin occurs in many of the middle coun ties, but the finest quality, us white as snow and entirely free from all sand or grit, is found in Macon county in the extreme southwestern part of the State. It lies super ficiallv, and can be worked at con siilerablo cost Red clays for making brick and light colored vari for the manufacture of pipes au. coarse con tral pottery are found in the part of the State and in the Pied raont country. Widower ani Bachelor Presidents Laiies ef the Whi;e House. Washington Star, 12th. , Instead of asserting, as a writer in a Boston paper does, that President Arthur is the third widower who has held the office within twenty-five years, it would be more correct to say that he is the second unmarried man who has been President since 1857, for President Buchanan was a bachelor, not a widower, and, as is well known here, President Johnson whom the writer quoted mentions as a widower, naa nis wne witn mm throughout his administration, though, she was too much of an in valid to assume the duties of lady of the White House, which her daugh ters, Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Stover, gracefully discharged. Mrs. Johnson did, however, appear at one of the afternoon receptions at the White House, and the writer hereof talked with her. It was during the last winter of her husband's term. She was a sweet-faced, gentle-looking old lady, tall and quite slender, as the writer remembers her. She sat on th divan in the Blue parlor during the reception and talked pleasantly with all who approached her. Her husband and children revered her, and always showed her marked re spect as well as affection. When in her prime her intellect was of a high order. . The Presidents who have been widows during their term cf service are Thomas Jefferson, whose wife had been dead about nineteen years, when he was elected; Andrew Jack son, whose wife died the winter after he was elected, and before he was in augurated; and Martin Yan Bur en, whose wife had been dead seventeen years, when he was elected. John Tyler lost his wife after he became President, and married another th summer before the expiration of his term. General Harrison's wife was un able to come here when he came to be inaugurated, but was preparing to do so when she received news of his death. His daughter in-law, Mrs. Jane F. Harrison, and several other latues of the , .President's famibr. were with him during bis Jiriel.term of one month.- Mrs, James BrbttR;tr;io. ,ZZZ CZifZITi of New York, then ,,a widowMrs.. xnmuwuu-wiu mere, as sue warn related to the Psidei'and .she once told tbe writer that Mr. Brooks courted ner in the Green parlor of tne White House and their engage- iubui men Degan President Taylor s wife waa ujiobie to preside durmg his term,.but was living, ad says one ' of bur citizens whose good memory is proverbial, una wno Knew tbe family welL Colo uei Liiss s wife, General Tavlor'a daughter, presided f or hua.

Tha Alaska Another Great Steamship., The steamship Alaska, the latest addition to the Giiion line of mail steamers, running ' between New York and Liverpool, and the largest vessel of the fleet, arrived atNew York Thursday. Her principal di mensions are as follows: Length 526 feet, breadth GO feet 6 inches, depth 40 feet G inches to upper deck, or 48 foet 7 inches to promenade deck, The gross tonnage is about 8,000 tong. The engines are of ike com pound inverted, direct-acting, .three cylinder type. The high . pressure cyliadei, 68 inch diameter, and the two ton pressure cylinders, 100 inches diameter each, with a stroke of six feet Steam is supplied by boilers of the usual cylindrical ferm at a pressure of 100 pounds. The indicated horse power will be about I1,UUU. Ihe Alaska has two smoke stacks and four masts, bark rigged. Thero aro altogether seven deck The first, or promenade deck, ex-' tends the whole length and breadth of the vessel, excepting the parts in the bow and stern forming the "tor-1 tie. ihe second deck is an open one along the sides of the vessel, and along the middle are the quarters' for the officers and engineers, and a number of state rooms for interme diate passengers. In the third or main deck accommodations are pro vided for 340 first-class rjasaencerB. 60 second class and 118 steerage passengers. The deck, amidships, is taken up entirely by the staterooms and dining saloon for first-class pas sengers. The entrance to the main saloon is by a spacious stairway from he second deck, and is handsomely arranged. Ihe main saloon . itself is 50 feet wide and 64 feet long, and has a seating capacity for 280 people. The ceiling 9 feet highv ordinarily, but a spacious cupola of b tain ed glass feet long and 15 feet wide makes the centre of the main saloott 20 feet high. The sides of the saloon are finished in hard woods, with paniels of maple, teak, satin and oak inlaid. Ihe upholstery is in bme Utrecht velvet. The main saloon and smoking-room is 28 feet wide and 24-feet long. It is floored in parquetry, pret tily designed. There are Sur bath rooms on the main deck, as well as lavatories at convenient places. The fourth deck is almost entirely tie voted to steerage passengers, arid will accommodate 1,000 persons. The fifth deck is used entirely for cargo. The Alaska ' is fitted with steam windlass, and steam steering gear, steam winches, and all the most improved appliances for navigation. There are electric bells communicat ing with the chief steward's office throughout the ship, and when she runs to Liverpool Swan's electric lights will be put in, 1 the wires for which are already in place. People Who Whine There is a class of persons in this world, by no means small, whose prominent peculiarity is whining. They whine because they are. poor, or if rich, because they have no health to enjoy their riches; they whine because they have no luck, and other's prosperity exceed theirs; they whine because some friends have died and they are still living; they whine because they have aches and pains, and they have aches and pains because they whine; they whine, no one can tell why. ! Now a word to these whining persons: First, stop whining it is of no use complaining, fretting, faultfinding and whining. Whv, vou are the most deluded set of creatures who ever lived! Do you know that it is a well settled princi pal of physiology and common sense that these habits are j more exhaust ing to nervous vitality than almost any other violation of physiological law? And do you know that life is pretty much as you make it? You can make it bright and sunshiny, or you can make it dark and shadowy. This life is meant only to discipline us to nt us for a higher and purer state of being. Then Btop whining and fretting, and go on your way rejoicing. ; i ...
