THE EXPOSITION.
Still the CeHter OF Attraction - The
Twelfth DaJ One Of the Best Yet.
Continued GlOries and Increasing Crowd
The Music-Tho Waltz.

The aesthetic students Of the city now
begin to visit the Exposition. They
waited til ali things, like the prodigalis
fatted calf, were ready and then they
pitched in. The colored person who
goes round with a watering-pOt to keep
down the dust knew that yesterday
would begin the revels of the dagetdate,
and he acted accordingly. He had the
floor swept up clean and had mats plac-
ed at the door on which the dust was TO
be rubbed of. He had also a battalion
I of little shoe blacks ranged round the
entrance on the outside who polished
ones understandings before entering.
Without polished understanding the
beauty OF the place cannot be
fully appreciated. The gallery Of
art UP in the southwestern angle
has become a point Of resort for all
those who have travelled. It is marvel
lous 10 hear the various criticisms pro-
nouuced ia a loud tone by all the con-
sciously well instructed, and the pain
fully refined and the egotistic folk who
have smelt the dust Of the vatican or
wandered through the galleries Of the
Louvre. There is a portrait Of Captain
Thatcher in the first alcove, by Mr..
Hatch, which deserves more than a
passing notice, being a work Of nature,
| genius and considerable merit. 1t is
opposite the girls portrait, which draws
the notice Of all mothers, 1t is so sweet
and fat, and plump and fair and blue
eyed. The portrait Of Captain Thatcher
is a work of some merit. The various
critical notes that have appeared in the
APPEAL have had the effect of drawing
public attention to this gallery. There

Sebastian is a beautiful thing. Judas
throwing away the money which he
got as the price OF betraying his master,
IS another work of power. Observe
what a vast difference in color there is
between those sturdy old works and the
modern production. That is a hearty
lady who nourishes her old man from.
her bosom, fine specimens Of physique
there. She eve wore stays or high
heeled CATERS you might swear.
GUNS, ETC.
Messrs. Lullman & Vienna, of 345
Main street, have q splendid show of
guns and pistols at the Exposition. This
firm has Just received a cargo OF the
best English guns, samples Of which on
exhibition viii be studied with delight
by all sportsmen. Those weapons, with
all their various adjuncts are the most
finished articles that can be found in the
city. There is nothing, next to machin-
cry for the saving of labor, that so
charms the mind Of man as improved
for the destruction Of life.
Hence the fine display made by Messrs.
LulImRn & Vienna attract great crowds
of spectators day and night in the Ex-
position Building. Guns, pistols, rifles,
nV, ramnSNfpn Hahfnn faarlaa nAu-dar
horns, shot, and all sorts of things for
men Of game, nets, bags, rods, ETC., are
to be found at the stand Of Lullman &
Vienna, to which we would direct the
attention Of all sporting men.
FURNITURE.
The greatattraction at the Exposition
last night was the bridal set Of chamber
furniture, displayed by Messrs. Bryson
& Camp, Of 228 Main street. This is the
finest set Of furniture ever seen in the
South. We think its superior could not
be produced. The wood was all import
ed from different parts of Europe, and
cost a fabulous sum. The set was made
expressly for Messrs. Bryson 4 Camp,
and cost two thousand dollars to
make it, This of itself, aside
from the other attractions, would
pay one to visit the Exposition.
Messrs. BrysOn 4 Camp also make car
pets a specially. They received ria the
Memphis and Charleston railroad to-day
one hundred rolls Of Brussels carpets,
the largest shipment eve came to this
market in One day.
They intend sending one hundred
rolls to the Exposition tomorrow. They
have the largest carpet-rOom in the
South, being thirty by one hundred and
fifty feet. We were shown through to-
day, and such piles OF carpets-enough
TO carpet all the streets Of Memphis.
PRESENTATION OF A BROOM.
The brOOm-maker at the Exposition
yesterday presented a broom to Fire
Engine Number Three, which is in
daily attendance at the Exposition.
The presentation was a happy little
affair.
