The Industrial Expositions.—The re
ports of the openings of the various industrial
fairs throughout the country indicate the strong
favor with which this graphic system of dem
onstrating the material progress of the nation
is regarded by the people. From all accounts,
the number and variety of the productions
displayed has never been exceeded during
any previous year; nor does it appear that any
single fair has, from the hour of its commence
ment, failed to attract throngs of visitors.
The merchandise imports at New York since
January Ist, are $308,207,676, against $334-
678,074 last year, and $286,428,097 in 1871.
The total exports of produce since January
Ist, are $208,673,287, against $161,786,682 last
year, and $168,030,055 in 1871. The total ex
ports of specie since January Ist, are $40,851,-
151, against $57,973,861 last year, and $60,-
218,509 in 1871.
Wise men mingle with their cares, as a help
either to forget or overcome them; but to re
sort to intoxication for the ease of one’s mind
is to cure melancholy by madness.

Spare moments are the gold dust of time. '
Os all the portions of our life, spare mo- j
ments are the most fruitful in good or evil.
Genius, after all, ain’t anything more than
elegant kommon sense.
Side by side ov plain truth stands common
sense —two of the greatest warriors time ha 8
ever produced.
Passionate persons are like men who stand
on their heads; they see all things the wrong
way.
The three things most difficult are : To keep [
a secret, to forget an injury, and to make good
use of leisure.
Then.' cannot be a pleasant smile on the liP 8
of the hopeless. The blow that crushes the
life will shatter the smile.
Examine yourself. Do it impartially; do it
faithfully; do it often. Sit down by yourself,
and shutting out all thoughts on other subjects,
review your own life for the last day—for the
last week. Recall both your acts and your
words, for both to others and to yourself your
words are often as serious realities as your ac
tions.
Webster said: “If we work upon marble it
will perish ; if upon brass, time will efface it;
if we rear temples they will crumble into dust;
but if we work upon our immortal minds—it
we imbue them with principles, with the jusf
fear of God and love of our fellow men—we
engrave on these tablets something which will
brighten through all eternity.”
Better to pay the street organ-grinder two cents
for music, if you must have it, than owe for a

Food for Southern Thought.
We copy the following from the liepublic,
published by Mr. Goodnow, Southern Man
ager :
• The South is magnificently rich in all the re
sources which are convertible into wealth. It is,
nevertheless, poor in the means to effect that con
version. The North is poor in natural resources,
but rich in the possession of capital. Northern
capital forms the basis of many large Southern en
terprises, and for the use of it we pay enormous
interest. Northern money has helped build our
railroads, rear our cities, develop our minerals, and,
to some extent, our farms. This is all right. We
are glad that it is so, and hope to see it so continue,
and much more abundantly. Both sections profit
by this course of things. The North is paid well—
some think exorbitantly—for the use of its money ;
and we profit by the using. We need have all the
money that can be had ; we have use for every dol
lar of it. Our millions of untouched acres need
money to become productive farms. Our inexhaust
ible mineral beds need money for their conversion
into wealth. Our abundance of raw materials needs
money for its manufacturing into marketable wares.
Our religious, charitable, educational, and art insti
tutions need money to make them more greatly be
neficent. Our possibilities are grand beyond con
ception. We need money to make them facts,
therefore, our manifest policy is to encourage, in
every practicable way, the influx of capital. Let
us welcome, heartily, the incoming of every North
ern or other capitalist, who comes to use his capita]
here, or sends it to be used here. Just as truly is it
our manifest policy to discourage, in every practi
cable way, the efflux of capital, to refuse patronage
to such Northern enterprises as are conducted at the
North, and draw their profits from the South to en
rich the North, when those enterprises might be
conducted here to our profit.
Life insurance is a profitable business. It is, by
the construction of modern society, an indispensa
ble business. It can as well be done by the South
for the South, its capital be invested, here, its profits
employed here, as it can be done for us by the
North, and its capital and profits be retained there.
And yet, this great and constantly-increasing busi
ness is now mainly done for us at the North. This
is a statement which should startle our readers; it
should startle them into incredulity. It is, never
theless, true.
Nearly five millions of dollars, the life-blood of
our industry and trade, are drawn from us yearly.
What do these millions represent of lost possibili
ties? How many virgin acres put under cultiva
tion? How many looms and spindles set in mo
tion? HoW many workshops established? How
much coal mined? How much iron smelted? How
many churches and schoolhouses built? How many
mortgages cancelled? Take the thirty millions
which six years of such ruinous practice lias ab
stracted from us, and what could we do with them?
We could change the face of this magnificent do
main. We could settle up and make productive
half a million acres of now unoccupied land. We
could put in operation one hundred woollen and
cotton factories. We could set the fires blazing in
a hundred blast furnaces. We could light the forges
and set hammers clanking in a hundred rolling mills.
Wecould build a thousand miles of railroad,creating
and passing through a hundred villages and towns,
and connecting with a market a thousand farms.
We could free a thousand miles of river from ob
structions, ami make them available for our com
merce. We could erect a hundred churches and a
thousand schoolhouses, and have enough left to en
gage in many useful and needed enterprises.
These estimates may seem to be extravagant, but
we believe that they will be found, u]>on careful
calculation, to be within, rather than without, the
reasonable range of what might be done with the
money which in six years we have sent North to
pay for that which might as well have been fur
nished at home.
The above comparisons apply more fully to the
Western than the Southern States. To stop the
constant flow of money from the West to the East,
for life insurance, the most solid business men of
Chicago organizeti the Rkpvblic Life Insurance
Company, on the popular plan of creating a home
company wherever a branch should l>e organized,
securing the influence of the best men, and making
loans where they procure business. Thus, the prac
tical question for Western and Southern men to
settle is, “ Will they repeat in the future this folly
of the past?” Or will they, by patronizing West
ern and Southern institutions, at least equallv reli
able and equally safe with the best in the North,
keep at home, for the development of Western and
Southern industries, the aggregation of Western
and Southern wealth, the cultivation of Western
and Southern mind and heart, the millions won by
Western and Southern toil?
The Republic Life Insurance Company, pre
senting. as the vouchers of its financial soundness,
the official certificates of the New York and Illinois
insurance departments, and a paid-up capital of one
million dollars; owning, in fee simple, one of the
most magnificent fire-proof buildings in Chicago,
with the land upon which it stands; numliering
among its stockholders the foremost merchants,
bankers, inanufaetunrs, railroad and professional
men in Chicago. St. Louis. Baltimore, New York.

San Francis<o, and of one hundred other branches
in places of business influence: and having as its
managers those whose ability, experience, and in
tegrity are guarantees of wise. safe, and honest
busim>ss conduct—confidently appeals to the citi
zens of this great section for its rightful share of
patronage.
