THE IL Il L Il Il Il.
SECOND DAY.
GREAT SUCCESS, ETC.

The Bazaar, from the moment of its
opening, has been attended with degree
OF success that has cquallcd the brightest
anticipations of its managers. An i'm
menSc number of tickets have been sold,
and during the entire day yesterday, de-
spite dSagreeable weather and threatening
clouds, the rooms were we'll filled. The
sales have already been considerable, and
the disposition on the part of the visitors to
encourage them is liberal to a degree
scarcely to be expected in these troublous
times.
FEATURES, ETC.
Among the features necessarily neglect
ed in our notice yesterday We place the
following as particularly attractive:
On the third floor, and apart from any of
the tables, is q miniature farm yard, con-
tributed by Mrs. Shackcltord, Of Whining
ton, North Carolina. The house is made OF
pine wood, rooted with vanished pine
burrS, arranged very beautifully, and set
ting off the pretty little cottage admirably.
The ground work of the yard is eXcellently
done. At the front gate Of the yard re-
turned " "Confed " is in the act of cmbra-
cling his "ole ooman." In the rear num-
Der of chickens and ducks lend to the
scene peculiarly domestic air.
Adjoining this is the soda-watcr foun-
tain, at which cool and sparkling soda IS
dispensed at ten cents per glass.
4 little further on the visitor is attract
ed by "young" dwelling house, with lot
about sixty by sixty inches, contributed
by a voungstcr OF this city five years of
age. The dwelling has eleven rooms, all
completely furnished. In the front por-
tico are the old people Of the house quietly
slipping their tea, and at the front gate Il
young couple are just driving in, while in
the parlor are two young people billing
and cooling. In another room old Aunt
Dinah is busily engaged in housework.
This house is for rattle and we would adj
wise all our young friends to take chance.
The house is very young yet, and grows
very fast and by the time the fortunate
Young chap who wins it reaches manhood,
lie W Il have a full-grown residence, fur
nished and complete.
A pair Of handsome cmeu mats may be
seen on this floor, which were contributed
by that patriotic lady of Petersburg, Mrs.
Cameron. These mats, made OF the skins
of two Australian cmeuS, are the first OF
the kind ever brought to Richmond, and
are of the rareSt and most luXuriant cha
racter.
On the second floor we find handsome
piano. the contribution Of those liberal
gentlemen, the MeSsrS. Stetl, of Balti-
more. This is for rattle at one dollar per
chance, and the rush for chances has been
very great.
On the North Carolina table we We're
shown a cameo likeness OF General Lee,
executed by Mrs. Rev. DR.. Mason, of Ra-
leigh, y. C. The likeness is accurate, and
exquisitely and artistically finished. Mrs.
Mason is evidently an artist Of high degree.
This cameo is for rattle.
OMISSIONS AND CORRECTIONS.
Under this head, in regard TO our yes
terdav's report, we are glad to state that
we have but few entries To make. But one
mistake was egregious. We called-Oh
horrors "a handsome oil painting OF Gale
one, on the Georgia table, u crayon draw
ing. The less we say of this error perhaps
the better. We can only beg pardon and
promise not to do so any more.
Upon the list Of omissions we place
the names of Mrs. Phillip Rahm and Mrs.
Colonel Elliott, Oh the first Virginia table
on the third floor.
The name of Miss Barry, on the fourth
Virginia table, was enormously put down
as Miss Barney.
THE CONFEDERATE WIDOW AND ORPHAN.
Upon the North Carolina table are two
of the most beautiful wax dolls we have
ever seen, contributed by lady of the
North-God bless her The larger one OF
the two is neatly dressed as widow, and
the smaller is arraycd as her orphan

thing to those to whom we owe sacred
duty, has no heart, is without sympathy OF
interest for the objects OF the Bazaar, ana
would do well to stay away.
"JoHNNY REB."
At the other end is figure OF poor
one-legged "reb," who asks the passer-by
for a penny. We would like to see the
southerner who could refuse him.
