THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.

The Exposition promises to be a great
eFeIG If the industrial history of this
country. The vast collection Of minerals,
of timber, of soils and of the fora and fauna
of the great central or mountain section of
the South may and probably will exceed in
variety and promise of future value any COL
lection that can be made from any equal
area of the known world. More than a
century of slavery has retarded the nro=
gress OF the Southern States ut least cen
tury, in the next decade the progress and
improvements which have been slowly COM
passed in other sections in a hundred years
may be concentrated in a period of ten
years In such changes and improvements
and in the introduction of modern machine
ry and apparatus there will be an opportu-
mtg fer profit commensurate with the vast
ness OF the Change row occurring Every
step in change tends to remove sectional
preiudices, to do away with the color line
and to bring the several States of this coun-
try into one solid nation. / therefore hope
that this matter will recommend itself to
you, and that you will take action upon it
il the directions which | have named.
Very res, yogr obedient servant,

Prince Won Bismarck, without being an
orator, has force. and, in ways that are char
acteIist1c, often succeeds In managing delto-
erative assemblies Some OF his repartees In
debate are irreslstibly impudent In the Ger
man Parliament a short time ago, he was de-
tending measure for equalklng taxation, and
adduced the example OF France, where his
plan was, as he claimed, very successful. We
translate the following conversation:

statements. that living is very dear In Paris.

Now that he has done so, withdraw the ex-
