MAJ. IL was first exhibited in London for 300
consecutive nights, and was during that time vi.
sited by more than h,lf a million OF people, in
GLIDING royalty. nobility. the gentry and clergy
BY command Of Queen Victoria il was set Up in
the hall of Buckingham Palace, and exhibited
before her and the entire court.
AS described by Milton, il commences with a
scene representing the gathering of the angels
around the Almighty 8 throne TO hear q new de
cree. that his only son that day begoiten, should
henceforth reign supreme in heaven: then IS in
roduced the banquet OF the angels upon TIE
plains OF heaven: the e~ncsmpment Of the angels
BY the river of Bliss; Satan with his followers
plotting The rebellion; the marching OF heavens
host to put down the rebellion; the three days
battle between the host of heaven aud the rebel
lious angels. and the final triumph OF the Son of
God. who. in the chariot of Paternal Deity, with
thunderbOlts and FIRE OF heaven, drives Satan and
the rebel host out Of heaven into hell. Then
follows eight magnificent scenes representing the
creation, commencing with the surging waters of
chaos. and ending with the creation of animals
aud man.
After which, pandemOniun, or hell, with Ss-
tan and the fallen angels upon the burning LAKE.
Satan's council in hell. and Satan's flight from
bell through Chaos 10 search OF this earth. Then
following in direct order. as described by Milton,
is shown the Garden Of Eden, with Adsm and
Eve: the temptation Of Eve-her fall: the fall of
Adam. the Judgment of God. and the expulsion
from the garden
The exhibition is pronounced by the entire
press and competent judges, 10 be the finest work
OF art gotten up in modern times, and worth
miles OF travel TO see. So far, ia America, the
halls have not been large enough TO hold the
people who have ~thronged TO see il. We predict
a great rush to Masonic Hall while it is here. and
il will undoubtedly prove one of the most al
attractive exhibitions ever opened ip"the city.
Look out for the bills which will be circulated
Throughout, the city this week and next.
