THANKSGIVING DAY.-The unfavorable
weather of the previous day gave little
promise of pleasant Thanksgiving day,
but early risers yesterday were gratiiied
to observe clear sky and the sun rise
and send his radient smile broadcast TO
cheer the hearts of the pleasure seekers,
and dry up the mud that was bar to the
appearance Of the ladies on the streets.
The day was duly observed by our citi-
zens, the banks and many leading houses
being closed the entire day, while business
was generally suspended everywhere in
the evening There were services in a
very few churches, from what cause we
know not, but perhaps the ministers
thought they had nothing to be thankful
for, and therefore, failed to have divine
service. Most people observed the day
by enjoying themselves to the best of
their ability, and the customary big
Thanksgiving dinner was eaten with
much relish. The St. George Cricket
Club intended having a match game and
banquet, but it was postponed on account
of the mud. The members Of the Mem
phis Boat Club were out in uniform and
had their gay craft blowing the
Mississippi to the delight of many spec
tators. At night large and brilliant
audience attended the New Memphis
Theatre to be delighted with the perform
ances of the Opera Troupe. Our Ger
man fellow.sitizens filled the Turner
Hall, where there was theatrical per-
Torrance, concluding with dance that
was enjoyed with that zest for which
their countrymen are famous. AT the
Greenlaw Club Hall there was a Union
National Thanksgiving festival, which
was very largely attended. The hall was
handsomely decorated with national ban
ners and appropriate notices, the festiv-
tiles being inaugurated by an elegant
supper, that was credit to Mr.. Specht
The customary toasts followed, and about
twelve O clock dancing commenced and
was kept up until: about four a. m.
All present appeared to enjoy themselves
to the best of their ability. 1t was sue
cess, and reflected credit on the mana
gers. There were several private parties
throughout the city, where young hearts
we're made glad by the varied pleasures
of the evening.

The GREAT ORIGINAL MILToNIAN TAB
LEAux FROM LONDON, ENGLAND.-ln re-
gard to this world-renowned exhibition
which opens tonight at Greenlaw' OPP
era House, the Baltimore Gazette of the
18th February last, thus speaks The
spirit of our readers has fully possessed
us on the subject of these remarkable
tableaux. They visit and revisit them
we write and rewrite about them, and
yet they possess the same novelty and
charm that they did on the night of
their first representation in this city,
when we we're called to witness the
mass of human beings that filled
Baltimore street, vainly endeavoring to
gain admittance to the Maryland lnsti-
tute." Not less than fifty thousand per-
sons have attended the evening and az
ternoon exhibitions Of these represen-
tations, from which the proprietor has
reaped a golden harvest, and by which
the people have been intensely graft
fed, the public taste improved,
and better knowledge Of Mil
toms sublime poem disseminated.
We hold that the public exhibition of
works of art is one of the most direct and
perfect means Of educating the masses,
and the presentation Of sublime themes
is the surest way to ennoble the aspira.
tons of the human mind. These tab
leaux carry the Imagination from ma
ture up 10 natures God. They present
the theological doctrine Of the fall OF the
angels, creation and the fall Of man, as
presented to the glowing fancy of one OF
Eneland's greatest poets and most pro
found and accomplished scholars, and
they excite a popular enthusiasm not un-
like that awakened by the first appear
ance of the poems themselves. They pos
sess the charm of novelty, of the highest
perfection Of art, of daring Sights
of the imagination, aud Of the wonder
full revelations of Inspired patriarchs.

temptation, and the arts Of Satan, Gnd

the omnipotence OF the Creator are all
truthfully and wildly represented, and
the moral effect must be in the greatest
degree beneficial. Hence, we are not
surprised to find that clergymen and
churchmen are the most ardent admirers
and faithful supporters of these enter
tainments; and we venture the predic-
that should they be repeated in Baltimore
at some future day, the same success
will reward the proprietor that
has so fortunately attended him
on this, his first visit to this city.
In London, England, for two hundred
and eighty consecutive nights it was ex-
hibited to more than half million of
people, including Her Majesty and the
entire court; and there, as in this coun-
try, the press, the people, and the clergy
were unanimous in pronouncing it the
most moral instructive, and beautiful
work of modern times" We look for
the same interest and enthusiasm to wit
ness it here as is invariably manifested
elsewhere. A grand family matinee will
be given Saturday afternoon, when child
rem will be admitted for twenty-five cents.

New MEMPHIS THEATRE-Gounod's
master piece, Faust, was presented by
the Ghioni and Susini Opera Troupe last
evening to an appreciative audience.
Mile Canissa, as Marguerite" sang
sweetly and acted the part well, while
Madame Strakosch, as Liebel," was
faultless, being frequently appauded.
Signor Irfre, in the difficult role OF
"Faust," seemed to be at home, and his
magnificent voice appeared to enchain
the attention of the audience at times,
so as to evoke marks of appreciation even
from those who are supposed to have no
music in their souls Signor Susini was
particularly excellent as Mephisto-
phites." The choruses were executed in
grand style, but no terms of praise can
give any idea of the music, produced by
the combination of instruments and
performers now comprising the
orchestra. Prof William Withers
generally gives as good music as
the theatre, but his corps is now added
to the fine orchestra that travels with
the opera troupe, and the combination
would be hard to equal anywhere in the
country outside of New York. Tonight
Donizetti's brilliant tragic opera, La
Farorita, will be produced, and from
the number of seats taken, it will doubt
less be more fashionably and numer-
ously attended than on any previous oc-
casion.
