THE ORPHANS FATR.-The Fair now

purpose-to procure funds to purchase

prayer-bOok was exhibited on the Sunday
School table last evening, which was pre-
scented to the Fair by Professor Nook, for
the purpose OF being voted to the most
festival will continue every-evening this
week, closing New Years night,
THE M1LToNIAN TAGLEAUx.-This re-
markable work of art is to be here in a
few days. The following, taken from the
Atlanta NeiD Ere, is worthy of notice:
"The Miltonian TsbleauX were exhibited
for the second time. at the theateF, last
night. and were witnessed By a large as
sembly. The fact tha mauY of those
wbO-aJtended were present At the previous
exhibition, was a proof ! itself Of the
m~eri-nrious characser o. tAs tahleauX.
The richness of the scenes and the new
beauties constantly appearing upon the
moving canvass, excited much admtra-
ton. So fOrcible il evory object pOr-
traved that one can gather in at once the
idea OF the poet by whose glowing de-
scriptions the artist was inspired. One
never tires of behOlding such master
pieces of art as are exhibited III these tao
Isaux, but can gaZe on them, night after
night, with undiminished pleasure"
MEMPHIs THEATER.-"Rip Van Win
kle" was represented to an audience as
tull, as appreciative and Is enthusiastic
as ever. There seems no limit TO the
number of representations that may be
geven by Mr.. jefferson of mis- great char
acter. MANY 90 again and again to be at
once delighted and rejOiced blythe exquis-
tie art. Scleuce-catt lt n you Vill-OE
an artist who is able TO attach and attack
all hearts by his very psrfect rendition.
II he rave the power 60 raise the loud
laugh one minute, and call forth the pear
" drops from the eyes. not only of fair
and tender women, but from stalwart
hardy mea. is, as we think lt is, the most
certain proof of the perfection Of his act,
then Mr.. jefferson to-day is the greatest
artist OF the age. He plays Rip Van
HIakle tonight, and we believe every
night during the week, and not to have
seen BIN is to lose one Of the greatest
pleasures thai life affords. When time
shall lead him from our midst so great
has become his power in this character Of
Rip, tina as they say on the tombstone of
Tom Hood, He Sang the Song OF the
Shirt so may some one write upon the
tomb Of Joseph Jefferson, He played
Rip Van WiRkte."
Jusr OPESED.-Beautiful Arabs.
