SOUTHERN RESOURCES.
At the session of the National Agricultural
Convention held in New York city last Thurs
day. among the speakers was Director -Gener-
al Kimball of the Atlanta Cotton Exposition,
who paid glowing tribute to the South, in a
paper which he read on the results OF the great
exhibition. He said:
In my most sanguine moments, l had not
dreamed Of such grand composite dlspiay OF
eyery Southern industry and resource-ores,
minerals and woods-which, in their audacity,
the directors. building wiser than they knew,
had accumulated in this great exhibition OF
purely American industry as had never before
been collected. Fifteen years had elapsed
since the old labor system had been killed.
The former masters had neither money nor
credit and the former slaves were intoxicated
with the first draught of liberty. 1t was the
old story over again of the bow that had been
so long bent as to lose it's elasticity but the
essential elements Of true manhood which dur
ing those four years of strife and bloodshed
the Southern people had so fully demonstrated
[applause] still remained, and, gathering up
the broken threads Of her former prosperity,
the South wove them into the complete gar
ment which she so lately spread out at Allan
ia. [Applause. He was Yankee, born IN
Maine--a Republican and prohibitio tionist--but,
feeling that the South was the natural home
of enterprise. he had builded there. He had
lived there througha all the stages OF reconstruc-
tion and had never suffered the slightest os-
tracism, and he knew that hereafter sectional
strife was DONE The next great result was
the wonderful sale Of Northern implements
and labOr-saving contrvances among tne
Southern planters. The sale OF manure spread
ers amounted to over S36, ,OOO. FHteen nun
dred cotton planters, 200 new pattern carriages,
500 car loads of engines, ploughs, harrows,
cultivators and other machines nave up 10
date been sold in the South since the EXPOSE
tson. In conclusion he said I'VE want men
and women of brains who are not AFRAID oi
work. We have discarded sentiment and
turned ali our energies toward practical things.
There is room for all, hearty welcome Tor
ali and fortune for all who will come and set
tie in the young South.D Great applause.
General Tremain moved vote Of thanks,
which was seconded by Mr.. Francis d. Moul-
ton, who said he had been delegate to the
Atlanta Exhibition, and where he thought TO
find hostility he had found a hearty welcome.
The motion was unanimously carried.
OUTWARD SIGNS OF CHARACTER.-ih
ewes are wonderful Interpreters OF character:
Round d-eyed people live much in the senses, bnt
think less. Narrow-eyed persons, on the otil-
or hand. see less, but think more and feel more
intensely. 1t will be observed that the eyes OF
children are open and round. Their whole
life is to receive Impressions. When the up
per eyelid-for it is that which has the great
est degree of mobility over tbe eye, IL
indicates not merely reflection but something
painful to reflect about. Hence the length or
drooping Of the upper eyelid betokens confes.
sion and penitence. The dropping OF the nan
of the eyelid from the outer angle to the centre
indicates the disposition to confess ones 1aultS 4,
to narcnts or seniors to a 'sfather confessor," :"
or TO the Supreme Being. The dropping OF the
half Of the eyelid from the inner angle to the
centre betokens the disposition to repent and
to edo works meet for repentance" Closely
allied to these signs are those of prayerfulness
and humility The former is indicated by the
muscle which turns the eye directly downward,
as represented in the pictures OF the Madonna:
The faculty of truth, or love OF it, is indicated
by the muscle which surrounds the eye, caus-
ING foldsand wrinkles. Justice is indicated
by the muscle which causes perpendicular
wrinkles between the eyebrows. Fulness ana
wrinkles under the eye, for which some per-
sons are remarkable, indicate the love OF math-
ematical accuracy; and wrinkles curving up
ward from the outer angle of the eye and eye
brow indicate probity or personal truthfulness.
A kind of exactness of strict honesty IN small
money matters is indicated by a single perpen-
dicular wrinkle or line between the eyebrows
The love of command is indicated by one or
more short transverse wrinkles across the root
of the nose, exactly between the eyes. 1t may
be seen in great military commanders, in mas
ters and teachers, and in those generally who
are fond of exercising authority.
DESTRUCTION OF HISTORICAL HOUSE
The Murat Mansion of Tallahassee, that was
burned on the evening of January 26, was one
of the historic houses Of America. Prince
Achille Murat, son of the King of Naples,
lived there when Napoleonic misfortunes exlled
the family from Europe. Aprice having been
set upon his head, he lived like hermit upon
this plantation, then OH the edge of the prime,
val forest. Here he met a relative OF General
washington, who, with her father, had eml-
grated from Virginia. She was charming
Young widow, less than twenty years of age,
and She lived in a log cabin with but two
rooms The consent of the Murat family
having been obtained, the young widow was
married to Prince Murat, and they lived TO-
gether in Tallahassee for twenty-five years.
Dnrinp the Florida war the Murats were pro-
tected by the friendship of an Indian chief,
who came at night and slept beneath their
roof. He quieted their fears by saying ~ GU
and YOUR squaw safe.'' After Prince Murat's
death his widow visited England and was re-
ceived by Napoleon III. and Eugenie. She
returned to her Southern home and died there
During the war she was much interested III
hospital work, and sold some Of her jewels tc
feed the destitute.
Poor G1RLs.-The poorest girls in the worlt
are those who have never been taught to work
There are thousands of them. Rich parents
have petted them they have been taught tt
despise labor, and depend upon others for
living, and are perfectly helpless. If misfor
tune comes upon their friends, as it often does
their case is hopeless. The most forlorn ant
miserable women OH earth belong to this class
It belongs to parents to protect their daugh
ters from this deplorable condition. They d
them great wrong if they neglect it, Ever
daughter should be taught to earn her own iy
ing. The rich as we'll as the poor require thi
trairing. The wheel of fortune rolls swift
round-the rich are very likely to become poor
and the poor rich. Skill to labor is no disad
vantage to the rich, and is Indispensable to tn
poor. Well-to-do parents must educate thel
daughters to work no reform is more lmpel
ative than this. .
esg A husband who lately went to execute
few little commissions for his wife, gives 1t a
his experience, that there are at least tW
dozen different brands of lilac sewing SILK s
exactly alike that no male eye can tell the dit
ference. and wrong choice means ruin to
new silk dress and no pie in the house, for
week.
