successful enterprises ever achieved in
the State, and is a source of pride to the
/ people Ofall sections of the State. The

entries have been made, and while we
cannot at present refer to them all, we
will mention a few of the prominent
features as indicating the class of pa
trOnage extended to the Exposition.
LANE & BoDLEY. -as
Ranking among the foremost in the
machine, engine and power depart
ment are the indefatigabIe Messrs. Lane
q BOdley, of Cincinnati. This re-
nowned firm is we'll known in your city,
as indeed it is throughout the length
and breadth of the nation The writer
of this has himself been from the
mountains of Main TO the timber skirts
Of the Rio Grande, and nowhere has he
been beyond the clang of their maohin-
cry or the whiz and whirr of their
\ wheels and circular saws. They have
! fully sixty thousand dollars worth of
machinery, mills, saws, pumps, belt
! ings, shaftings, etc, in the Industrial
! Building. They have one stationary
thirty-hOrse power steam-engine of the
very best make and most superior finish.
They also have over eighty feet of shaft
| ing; there is also one railroad cutoff
saw, which is a monster piece of mech
anism and invaluable in its peculiar
| sphere. There is also one circular and
! portable saw-mill complete and in oper-
alton. 1t works with lightning rapid
| ity and the utmost precision, ripping
/ huge logs into the best of plank in an
| incredible short space of time to the
astOnishment of the thousands of look
ers on. This department is under the
| special supervision of Mr.. Smith. a
member of the firm. Lane & BOdley
are represented in this city by John
p Dale & Co., who have been i'm
business here for twenty years, and whs
are regarded justly as being among the
best and sOundest business men. They
are agents for Lane & BOdley's saw
mills, steam-engines, shaftings, etc.:
for Bradford d Co.'s mills, mill-stones,
ETC.; HOwes & Babcock's Eureka smut
and separating machine; Cope & Max
Wells patent steam-pump and indie
pendent bOiler-teeder; Stout's mill and
Temples water-wheel, ETC., etc; all of
which give universal satisfaction. Mr..
Dale supplied the Tennessee Cotton Fac
tory with over ten thousand dollars
worth of material. He is an enterpris-
ing gentleman and a liberal contTibu-
tor to the Exposition.
DISPLAY OF WILLIAM sToCKELL & SON.
One Of the most imposing and attract
i've features of the Exposition is the dis
play of William StOckeil * Son, in the
galleries of the south wing of the build
ing, overlooking the cascade 1t is a
IN
feet high and tWenty-six inches in
diameter, forming a duplicate of the
capsules in the main entrance of the
Maxwell House. On top there is q
smaller cap such as are seen in the
Maxwell House dining-room, the whole /
surmOunted by an enormous eagle with
spread wings and fiery beak. Suspended
from the horns of the cap are various
dancing figures airily suspended and
most cunningly wrought Around the
columns are fine medallions of rich and
elegant frames. These are seven in
number. Arranged around the entire
are columns, four feet high, of Scaglista
work, in imitation of rich and rare
marble. On these are lifelike busts
of Douglas, Webster, Jackson, Escu-
lapius, Washington and Demosthenes.
There are, also, Sobrina of the wave,
after the model of Marshall, and Eve
with the tempting and fatal apple
Smaller figures, true to life, are reclin-
ing beneath. The stately column and
surroundings are universally admired as
they deserve to be. They also have the
best terra-cotta work ever seen in this
country, consisting of vases, flower
pots, chimneys, pipe-drains, window
caps, etc. Their display of fertilizers,
just adapted to the soil and climate of
Tennessee, creates much attention.
They are among the most spirited and
liberal contributions to the Exposition.
A MOST EXCELLENT wAsHING-MA-
CHINE.
In the washing-machine line, we can
well exclaim, ''Eurekaw In the south
west wing of the building and among
the most attractive features of the in
ventive department, is a washing-ma-
chine that is excelsior, and which will
supersede all Others in use. 1t is called
the Tennessee" and is Jointly exhibit
ed by Messrs. Pratt and Newsom-J.
w. Pratt and Mr.. Newsom, assignee.
1t works with marvellous rapidity, doing
its work thoroughly and well without
the least damage to the garments, or the
linen. The machine never gets out of
order, and while simple in construction,
its operation is upon the first scientific
principles. 1t has the capacity for doing
the laundry of hotels, boarding houses
and entire neighbOrhoOds in a few
hours. 1t washes, cleanses and rinses
in one and the same operation with
completeness. Mr.. Newsom is one of
the most energetic citizens of Nashville,
and Justly felicitates himself on the sue
interest in the Exposition.
ELF-INDEPENDENT CAR-CoUPLER.
This is justly regarded by experienced
railroad men and Others as being one of
the most useful and important inven-
tiOns in the exposition. 1t is invented
and owned by MessIs. j. ID. TowneT and
J. NJ. Farmer, of Giles county. 1t is
claimed by railroad men that it will be
put upon every road in the United
States, and that il will save thousands
of human lives. 1t has the old draw
head and linken pin made into a self
coupler by adding two weights working
independent of each other. 1t is coupled
and uncOupled from the top of the car
with the utmost ease and without the
danger and exposure of getting between
the cans. 1t can be coupled with any
other coupler TO either high or low cars.
Itcombines safety with cheapness, dura-
bility and general excellence, and is des-
tined TO come into universal use. It
will prevent the loss of thousands of
lives.
GALVANIZED IRON CAR-RoOFING CON-
PANY.
One of the most high-spirited and
energetic firms in Middle Tennes-
see is the Tennessee Car-RoOfng
Company, whose establishment is
on College street, between Church
and Broad. The repute of this
company Is known all over the State
and throughout the entire Southwest.
Their success has been marvellous and
unprecedented. Once or twice during
the last few years they have been burned
out, but have each time risen Phoenix
like from the ashes more powerful and
vigorous than before. Their excellent
and superior work is seen In all the
cities, ON all the depots and along all
the railways of the country. The COM
