Any one investing in these Bonds has the
satisfaction of knowing that his bond is GER
tain to be paid at maturity; and further that
he assists In building in the city Of New York
a permanent Temple Of Industry, which will
DO an ornament and a pride TO every Ameri-

Each. Bondholder. until his bond is re-
deemed, is a part owner Of twenty. two acres
OF land situated in the heart Of the city Of
New York, and estimated TO be worth Two
Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Seven Millions.
The excavations for the foundation was
commenced on the 10th Of May, 1875, and the

cured by mortgage which makes the principal
safe, and eminently secure, and in addition to
which each bondholder participates four times
q year, in the allotment Of premiums above
named.
The difference between these bonds and a
lottery ticket is, In a lottery the holder must
lose his money or draw a prize. while the
holder Of an Industrial Exhibition Bond can
not lose his Investment. but must have re-
turned TO him the principal and a small rate
Of interest added, and in addition has an OPP
portunity to draw a premium ranging from
ESQ to 100000.
The Board Of Directors and the Trustees Of
the mortgagage are among the most eminent
Of the business men Of New York. and is Of
itself a guarantee that the bonds are q safe

The money market this morning was
exceedingly quiet, with little animation
in money circles. Deposits are fair, with
collections easy. Currency is growing
scarcer, with the money market working
rather close; there is an increased de-
mand for currency, with which to move
the crops. The loan market is stringent
and bankers are d%iscounting very little
paper. First-class commercial paper
rules at lO@l2 q cent. y annum on
short loans; on the streets money rules
at 293 y cent. p month. Brokers are
paying ll3a@ll4 for gold, with little
offering. Exchange remains quiet and
steady at the following rates: On New
York and Eastern points buying at par
and selling at ic premium; New Or
leans, 1c discount buying and selling at
par. There is little or nothing doing
in local or foreign securities, with quota
tions unchanged and no transactions

men and women now Here's few
sensible thoughts from the Indianapo-
lis Journal of the LIST, on this spelling
epidemic:
1T is not impossible that.the spell
ling mania may produce really valu-
able results. 1t will undoubtedly
rouse the interest of school children
in a somewhat dry though very i'm
portaut branch of study, and probably
cause among all classes an effort at
more correct orthography and greater
accuracy in writing. These results
would not be without value; but it
may produce still more important
ones. The discussion to which it is
giving rise may lead to something like
a popular revision Of the language as
to certain words of disputed ortho-
graphy or OF modern coinage. A pro-
position has already been offered for
the creation of an international COM
mission of English and American
photographers to make certain recon-
mendations in this regard and to sug-
gest . plan for nearer approach to
uniformity of spelling in the two
countries. In these ways the ortho-
graphical excitement now springlng
up may bring some profit as well as
much amusement, At any rate, it Is
pretty certain to run its course.
