The Southern Exposition.

On the first of August next, the
great Southern exhibition is to be
opened at Louisville, Ky. Judgedby
the size Of the proposed buildings, it
will be surpassed by only three previ-
GUS events-the London Exhibitions
of 1851 and 1902 and the Philadel-
phia Centennial in 1876. The build
ings will occupy GIT, 400 square feet
In the Atlanta exhibition of 1881 the
buildings occupied only lO752O
square feet. This Southern exhibition
Will show that that section of the
country is now on the high road to
prosperity. Free labor has revivlied
the old slave States. The cotton crop
of last year was the greatest ever
known, fully 100000 bales, nearly
double the number produced when
that focculent fibre was raised by
slave labor. The South now manu-
features it's own cotton yarns, and IS
opening some of the largest IRON
foundries in the world. Its Industries
are becoming yearly more diversified
while its railway system has been re-
organized so as to utilize all the
wealth-producing districts south OF
the Potomac and Ohio. Already COL
onies of Englishmen are being organ
lied to take up large tracts of land IN
Virginia, Tennessee and Texas. Inc
coming exposition at Louisville will
mark the wonderful progress made by
the Southern States since the over
throw of slavery.-Demorest's Mon'0W
