THAT DRAWING.

The price of a ticket to insure a chance
of winning ten thousand dollars Satur-
day next, It the Fair Grounds, is five
dollars. The drawing is to take place
on the grounds, in the presence of sever
or eight thousand persons. Nearly
twenty-eight thousand dollars are to be
drawn for. Whoever wins the ten thou
sand dollars in the drawing viii GER
tainly get it, and he viii then feel quite
happy. Ten thousand dollars is a mighty
useful sum of money. Somebody is sure
to win it. A syndicate Of one hundred
persons holding an equal share in a hun
dred tickets, any n Of which should
win the prize, would give them all one
hundred dollars each. This would also
be comfortable; but if a man should own
the hundred tickets himself, at a cost of
five hundred dollars, how happy would
he feel in the possession of ten thousand
dollars, gained at SO trifiBg a risk. He
would have nineteen for one; for re-
member there are twenty times five
hundred dollars in ten thousand. 1t Is
an enormous sum-. Billy Adams esti-
mates its value by saying that it will
purchase fifty thousand hrst-elass drinks!
A man can purchase twelve square miles
of territory for it in Arkansas. The
interest on it would support a moderate
family forever, and several years after.
A man with ten thousand dollars is
emphatieally rich. Drawing takes place
Saturday at the Fair Grounds.

THERE never was a more interesting
assemblage Of ladies gathered together
in the world than those that are daily
met at the Fair. Their exhibition is
superb. A large committee should be
appointed to make the awards. 1t will
require great care and sound judgment.
IT Is very pleasant to take ladies to
the Fair this year. There is nothing
under the sun that has been neglected
to insure their comfort. We will wager
that Edmondson and Hayes, as well as
SouthwOrth and Dashiel, had something
to do with the preparations.

iSqire Miller's portrait, in the Art Gal

THE DIAMOND.

BaFaum's Case.

Barnum's case at the Exposition was
n Of the prettiest exhibits Of jewelTy
that could be A'scared up" comprising
about a dozen neat gold watches worth
about three hundred dollars, some gold
sets Of ladies' jewelry, some pearl neck
laees and other valuable things. There
was also in it q diamond ring worth
three thousand dollars, which was c0u-
spicuously shown at the front Of the
glass case. This was indeed a very
attractive object, and was d~eservedly
admired for its b~rilliancy. The ease
stood at the end Of the table or elevated
platform on which Barnum made his
show. The back Of it, where the door
is. was further secured by a box being
showed up against it, on which some
bronze statUaTy stood. At moo Mon
day, when not many people were in the
building, and Barnum's trusty person
was gone to dinner, some adventurous,
light-hngered fellow pushed away the
box from the door, and, unhitching the
fastening, stretched his long, thieving
hand down 10 the front Of the case, took
the diamond ring and went away with
out being noticed The affair was not
noticed until the clerk returned. He at
once saw that burglariOus hands had
been at work. He found the box on
which the statuary stood removed from
its place, and lastly he saw the diamond
was missing. The news spread like q
cOnflagrati0n in tow, and ali the people
ia the vast building l~nstinetively felt for
their watches and pins. 1t was, how
ever, the only outrage that we heard Of
There were three policemen in the
building at the time, besides other EN-
plOyes under Captain Jackson. II would
take twentypOliee to guard 50 extensive

ADJUSTMENTS.

The TheAfer.
The Black Crook, at the Memphis
Theater, is a thing of such vast proper
tons and unlimited attractions that the
theater-goers and the visitors to the city
crowd in there every evening, in such
considerable numbers, that Pat Shorts
purse had to be made long. The mirth-
inspiring music, with ter~psichOrean ae-
Compartment, the rapid transformations,
the wonderful scenery, the countless
fairies, geaii performers and people of
all sorts on the stage, keep the mouse not
only in the best of humOr, but in kinks
Of laughter, all night, till the last scene
Of all, about half-past eleven O'clock.
The Exposition, a block or two further
down Jefferson street, attracts thou
sands within its portals in the early part
of the night. and these send q heavy
per centage to visit the Theater, about
eight O'Clock. hence both institutions do
remarkably well. They help eaehother.
Pat Short did not fall short Of a fun
house any night since the Crook came
to town. The stirring spectacular ex-
element entered on its second week
Monday night, with as fair a promise Of
a heavy run this week as last week. The
Theater will be filed every night.

success which attends the per-
formances at this house leads to the con-
clusion that it will prove a success be-
yond any Oscillations. Never was
better augury of this afforded than by
the very full houses which nightly assem-
bic within its walls. Last night was a
good house, Notwithstanding the in
clement weather. Murphy is just the
card for the week of the Fair, which
always attracts large crowds from the
adjoining States. The people want to
be amused, and do not care for anything
but decent low comedy, something that
will afford them plenty Of laughter.
They have it in Help, in which Joe
Murphy is simply inimitable. 1t is hard
to tell what style of characterization he
most excels in-whether Irish or Dutch.
His brogue in the former sounds as if
fresh from the hills Of COnnemara, and
his accent in the latter, like that n
finds in a Deutchlander just landed
from a long voyage, and who
learned his English on board ship, and
very little at that. And then his actions
fit so nicely to his words, and his awk-
wardness Is so natural and his blunders
so Hfelike. Whether talking, standing
or moving, he always exeites to laugh
ter, and is therefore better than all the
medicines Of the pharmacop9a. He is
a cure for the heart and headache, and
the blues fly as he enters on the stage,
which he fills better than many a COM
pany that we have seen. He appears
tonight again in Help.
