Let Us Display.

The Cincinnati exposition is to make
its eleventh annual display in October
next. 1t has already become a nation
al institution and is visited by a
greater number of people than any
other institution on the continent. 1t
was gotten up on the right ~basis-hence
its success. 1t is not run as a specu-
lation-as a stock jobbing institution
to make money to a few inside incor-
porators, but run by the business and
monied men of the Queen City, as an
attraction, and to call visitors from all
parts of the United States to Cincin-
natl. The benefits inure to Cincinnati
in an indirect way. 1t Is public spirit
like this that builds up the business of
large cities and makes them the CEN
lers of attraction to the whole country.
This year the managers will add, to
their almost universal show, the at
traction of mineral display. DR.. Has
kell has been written to on the subject,
asking that this section take the steps
for representation. The terms on
which the representations are to be
made are such as to encourage our
camp to extra eXerti0n in order that
the Black range shall have a display
that will advertise US all ove the
United States. The managers of the
exposition are puttingup an art build
ing, one portion of which is to be devOt-
ed to the mineral display. All mineral
is to be put in glass cases, under lock
and key, and to remain permanently In
the exposition building. The ore will
bear the name of mine, depth from
which 1t came, and the character of ore.
The ore will be received at Engle by
the managers of the exposition, who
will bear expense of transportation
| from Engle to Cincinnati, borne by the
exposition funds. The exposition build
ing will be open the year around SC
that our exhibits of ore will be both
permanent and constant to the capt.
tai of the United States.
This occurs to the BLACK RANGE
as the most sensible and inviting Of all
the exposition propositions that have
been made to the regions of the United
States. 1t involves no expense of
transportation, or of commissioners in
charge. The only expense involved
will be in getting the samples to Engle.
That will prove purely nominal. Every
man who has good ore should give this
matter his immediate attention. Speci.
mems of fine crystals, snowy ores, Gas
well as samples of rich) pottery and
other matters that will tend to make
our department attractive, should be
added. The management have asked
DIR. Haskell to act as agent for this
district. They could not have com
mltted the charge to better hands. Oul
people cannot expect DR.. Haskell tC
run about looking up these things, II
each party owning property will select
from his ores such samples as he de
sires to have displayed, and bring them
to DR.. Haskell, he will properly labe.
and forward them. They want all the
samples delivered to the general agent
for the western territories bY AupuSi
first. And there should be no time
lost. Let every man make it his bust
ness to move in this matter. The
BLACK RANGE will do its part il
money or any other way to help out
this most sensible of all the exposition
propositions yet made.

There has eve been a backbiting spir-
it exhibited here in the range that has
proved a serious obstacle in the path of
its growth and development. Let any
man attempt to interest capital in one
of the mines here, and no matter how
excellent the scheme may be sOmeparty
will be found to oppose, and if possible
defeat the plan. Even when perchance
anybody is found with disposition and
means to do anything, this petty oppo-
sition continues, and he inds somebody
to harass him and hamper his move
ments. This has been the past anu it is
the present situation. SO long as it
continues it will be effectual in main
tanning the present sleepy condition of
affairs here. The only way that this
country can be brought out is for those
resident and interested here to work
together to get our mines developed.
Let none he jealous of the prosperity
Of another, for each will have his turn
at fortunes smiles when once her face is
turned in this direction. The decrying
by one of any scheme projected by an
other. when such project Is not clearly
a swindle harms everybody and does
no n good. Think of this. Remem-
Der that every dollar expended and each
foot dug in the range helps the country
that much, and hereafter, it you can
not assist please don't hinder the at
tempts that may be made to secure these
much desired ends.

The Mississippi and Missouri rivers
are higher now than two years ago and
the towns and farms along their banks
are inundated. The food has been
caused by local rains and to make the
matter worse advices from the Yellow
stone and its tributaries state that the
June thaw has filled those chan
nels full and the waters are likely to get
down to the points where the suffering
now exists before the present overflow
recedes. This furnishes cause for grave
apprehension at Kansas City and st.
louis and points between.

cd into n robe and an anti-robe party
In view Of the discussions which his
gown has caused, Dr. Marquis devoted
an evening 10 explain ~ the church
members why he wore and his reasons
appear TO have been substantially as
follows. II was part Of his belief that
all ministers Of the Gospel should
wear official gowns while performing
official nets: for this belief he had botl
Scriptural and historical sanction, and
he had always conformcd 10 IL to the
extent OF wearing 8 clerical vest and
white crayat. The Genevnn robe was
adopted by the ministers OF the refor-
nation and had descended 10 the Pres
byterian minister of to-day In direct
limo from Calvin and Knox. The robe
was worn In Europe by all clergymen
Of the Presbyterian Church aud by
many Of them In America, and the on
~ reason for its disuse In the West
was that the poverty of the baekwoods
settlements made IL lncohvenicnt for
ministers TO wear gowns. Further DIR.
Marquis had always intended to adopt
the gown as soon MS he found himself
provided with a retiring room adjacent
to his pulpit in which he could put II
on and take 1t off: and, finally, he
thought that clergymen's dress, eth
err IN OF out Of the pulpit, was matter
to be determined by his own, taste
and not by his congregation.
