The Worlds Industrial and Cotton
Centennial Exposition.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 20, '84.
10 the Inventors, Mechanics and Manu>
fact,wers Of Tennessee;
We have been notified by the Hon.
E. A. Burke, Director General, and
Mr.. Samuel Mullen, Chief Of Installa>
ton of the Worlds Industrial and Cot
ton Centennial Exposition, that the
application for space by the States and
Territories is SO much greater than the
amount they have at their command
in the Government and State Building
that they will be compelled not only
to cut down the amount of floor space
allotted to each of the States and Ter
ritories, but also to limit the space SC
allotted to the display OF the natural
resources, such as minerals, ores and
timber, and the agricultural products
of the said States and Territories.
The State Commissioners, by para
graph 81 in Circular No. Z, issued
August 9th by Samuel Mullen, Chiei
of Installation, were authorized "to re-
ceive and display in their collective
exhibit sample of the product of each
manufacturing industry In their State,
provided the same can be accommoda
ted within the space allotted to the re
spective States"
We applied for 10000 square feel
floor space for the Tennessee Collec'
tive Exhibit, and have had only r.,
100 square feet assigned to us for thi'
purpose. We are therefore compelled
to request the Inventors, Mechanics
and the Manufacturers of Tennessee t
apply at once to Mr.. Samuel Mullen
Chief of Installation, New Orleans
La, for space in the Main Building
within which they may display speci
mems of their wares, mills, etc., Al
installation fee of Five Dollars should
accompany each application, upon re
ceipt of which Mr.. Mullen will assign
them the space In the groups to which
their products belong, and will als'
send to them a diagram of the foo
space of the Main Building with tn
space so allotted marked thereon.
We appreciate the patriotism of on
Tennessee Manufacturers, Mechanic
and Inventors who have manifested
desire to display samples of their skill
and the products of their hands ant
mills in the space allotted to Tennessee
in the Government Building, but W
must confess that they will derive ia
greater benefit by making the displa'
in the Main Building and in the re
spective groups to which their product
belong. The Main Building is tn
largest eyer constructed, and will prov
the leading feature in this great World
Fair
Mr.. Mullen informs us that tn
management will employ janitors t
look after and protect from injury al
articles in this building; and, also, tina
there is not one square inch of space i
this vast building that cannot be GOV
cred by five streams of water from on
and quarter inch nozzle hose With
quarter of minute.
The premiums offered in the Agri
cultural Department on Live Stoc
alone amounts to more than 100000
and in the Horticultural Department
to more than $4,000.
Manufacturers, Mechanics, ETC., VIII

to sell st. Paul, Union Pacific Delaware,

have been no rallies and large lines OF long

the traders were selling the general list with
out mercy. Pacific mail was tho only excep-
tion to the drop. At 2:3O tho market was
very weak with Van Emburgh and After
burg and the traders selling the general
market.
Tho billiards in the west, uncertainties of
northwestern rates. situation, Gould's trip
south, and the gold excitement have been the
bear clubs to beat the market all day.

strong.

OUR AMERICA SINS BY w. E. ADAMS.
London: Na.u. , u PateTnoster square.
This book is up of compilation of
letters written by Me- Adams to the NcDcds-
tle Weekly Chronicle during q trip which no
made to this country. His personal impress
sions of the people and institutions of the
United States are given with freedom and
frankness that arc seldom found. He evil
IDENTIFY believes that We are n great people,
and that those whom ho met while hero
endeavored to do all in their powor to make
his visit pleasant one. Our quick, rapid
way of doing things, our untiriug aud irre-
sistibe energy, and the ease with which
Americans can change from one occupation
or business to another, struck him with
wonder and surprise, and he so plainly ex-
presses himself His book is not all praise
Of ourselves and our institutions, however,
for he makes some sharp criticisms upon
many of our abuses of government, which
we must admit are just. Notably so are his
rema rks upon the government Of the city Of
New York, which he says is "tho worst gov
or ned city in the world. mean, of course,
tho worst governed of all cities that are
under some sort Of popular government.
| Constantinople may be worse, and Pekin
may be worse, but neither of these cities is
under the control of tho inhabitants them
selves"
American newspapers are deemed OF suti-
cient importance for Mr.. Adams to devote
two chapters to them, and tho manner in
which they arc conducted is source of never
ending astonishment to him. While some OF
his structures upon personal journalism are
well founded, he is certainly wrong when he
imagines that "a revolver seems to be o
necessary part of an editors personal effects
His conclusions upon our newspapers are
perhaps not far out of the way. He says
" If American journals were less personal
they would be more influential Dullnes'
and heaviness are not characteristics of news
papers in any part of the states. They may
be libelous, scurrilous, offensive, vulgar; but
they are neither dull nor heavy, neither
commonplace nor conventional"
Our railway palace cars, baggage check
system, hotels and elevated railroads are al
highly praised by him, and over our common
schools he becomes enthusiastic, concluding
his chapter upon them as follows
No system could have been better devised
for uniting the community into one homo
geneous nation than the common school sys
tenn of the United States. Since all children
are taught by the same masters, sit on thu
same benches, and learn from the same books
it necessarily follows that tho division
which prevail elsewhere are to larg
extent obliternted in that country. /
is probably due to this cause that there is
greater degree of equality-not SO much il
wealth rs in social tercourse-among tn
citizens of the republic than among an.
other people in tho world. Poor and rc
mix together there IN manner that woul
astonish people in England if SO pleasant
phenomenon were witnessed in these island;
The common schools on the one hand, and tn
arrangements for railway travelling on tn
other, level all mere artificial distinctions il
the United States"

CREMATION AND OTHER MO

CREMATION AND OTHER MODES OF Sc
PULTCRE: By r. l.. WILLIAMS, A. NJ Phila-
delpha J. b, Lippincolt g. Co. "
This little volume discusses the various
modes of sepulture, taking ground that the
new method of cremation is an improvement
on the practice of burying the dead in the
ground, from sanitary point of view mainly.
He regrets that this subject has not been more
agitated in this country; but whether it's
agitation will induce a change from the pre-
vailing custom Of burial in the ground, where
the grave of the loved one may be made moist
with tho tears Of affection, may be made
beautiful by the strewing of flowers and the
planting of shrubs, and may be marked by
the monument, simple or elaborate, as the
means of those left behind may be able, is q
question which tho future alone can deter
mine.

ter is now almost to the Burnet thouse
The river bank, when at its proper
distance, is between three and four
squares. All that can be seen rs that
the street is inundated and boats Gid
ing in all directions. The suspension
bridge. which is 100 feet above low
water mark makes a low arch above
the flood. On the west side of the city
Mill creek spreads to an average of a
mile and the expanse of water reaches
to the north out of sight. Backwater
runs beyon Spring Grove Cemetery, a
distance of seven miles. The cry of
distress is beginning TO grow louder,
and manufacturers are stopping and
the men thrown out of employment.
In Newport 5000 to 5000 people are
homeless aud their supplies exhausted.
