Mr.. Cox, Of Giles county, who is Eell-kmown
as the most successful wine grower in the
State. In this case, handsomely displayed
in fine decanters, are samples taken from
/. 1,500 gallons OF Ives seeding wine. Its
ruddy hues, catching fresh beams from the
sunlight, charm all admirers Of the jelly
god, and tantalize the palate. The feeling
in looking at it is one of lamentation that
it should be so near and yet SO far.
Attached to the case is a singularly ap-
.propriate picture, representing the old
Bacchus surTendering his thrysus to the
new King in America. The old king ap-
pears in the foreground, accompanied by
handsome youth. Behind him is Silenus,
drunk, and held on the back Of very
tame looking ass by two nymphs, who are
squeezing the juice from a bunch Of grapes
into his mouth. His cOuntenance is one
of repose and stupeied happiness, caused
partly by the wine and partly by the shrill
music of the train Of satyrs, who, creeping
around the side of the Yosemite Noun
tain, are making the woods musical with
their cymbals and pipes. The ne " Ameri-
can Bacehus, accompanied by the genius
of America, and guarded by black bear,
confTonts the elder one, and while the pan
ther of the latter makes his obeisance to
the bear, the elder Bacchus transfers his
emblem of power to the new. The whole
picture is well conceived, and in the high
est degree suggestive.
THE EUREKA SMUT AND SEPARATING
MACHINE
manufactured by Howes, Babeock and Co.,
Silver Creek, New York, and exhibited by
d. G. Howes, their general agent, attracts
as much interest as any other piece of ma
chinery in the Exposition. 1t cleans "dir-
ty smutty wheat" and removes all the
smut that adheres to the berry, polishing it
in the most perfect manner, and also takes
out all the sticks, straws, garlic, cheat
cookie, dust, chaff and any other impuri-
ties that may be mixed with the wheat, de-
posting each kind of the above named i'm
purities in separate places, leaving the
wheat perfectly secured and cleaned, ready
to be ground into -four. Also the screen
ings that are taken from the different sepa-
rators are made perfectly clean Of dust and
chaf ready to be sold or ground into feed,
| the dust and chaff being conveyed out OF
the building by the means of a spout, at
tached to the fan, which collects all the dust
and chaff from the entire machine car
rying it to any point out Of the
building desired, leaving it perfectly clean in
the room where it is operated. The machine
has an elegant appearance. The cylinder
is made of iron with cast beaters, and makes
when running 700 revolutions per minute.
The securing case is made of perforated
sheet steel Of the purest quality. The
wood used for the frame is white ash, and
the cylinder is incased with highly vafhish-
ed poplar, making the whole as elegant and
as attractive as piece of parlor furniture.
The agent has on exhibition magnificent
