The Nashville Exposition.

While i'll Nashville last week, we had
the pleasure of visiting the Industrial Tx
position. 1t isreally the most complete
and instructive magnet ever known in
Tennessee, drawing people FROM all parts
of the country to witness the grand dis,
play Of the great industrial invention and
progress of the present age. Those who
have never visited the Exposition
cannot spend their money more proitably
than By going there and witnessing the
grandost display of the industries of the
country that was ever before collected
together.
One of the most interesting groups in
the mineral department of the Exposition
is that of copper ores and products from
Ducktown, Polk county Tennessee. Dr..
Stafford, the eminent State GoologiSt, as
sisted by Mr.. Charles Stockell, has ar
ranged the ores with reference to their
occurrence in the mines.
Many advantages derivgd from the Ex-
position will be recognized when We state
that capitalists and manufacturers who
spend much money and waste much time
in travelling about the country, worrying
themselves by asking questions never sat
isfactorily, making examination of the
geological department of the Exposition,
can derive all of the desired information
relative to the mineral wealth of Tennes.
sec. In other words a geological map Of
the State is presented, the nature and
character, the value and natural location.
DR.. Stafford and Mr. Stockell have spared
no pains to render the department at
t~ractive and instructive, and take every
opportunity III eXplaining the minerals to
the visitors. The same knowledge at
tanned by long years of study may be
had by making a thorough, examination
and critical study Of these collections.
There are many natural curiOsities in thi:
department affording interest to visitors.
