ExceIs Herself = Her Merchants
and Mechanics stand in Front.
Last night the Exposition building was
crowded with visitors. The interest felt
in the success Of the enterprise con-
tinues I'd, increase rapidly. Those who
visited it yesterday attended again last
night, and find Il impossible to remain
away. Writers have been for years
furnishing information and pleasures for
the people. by means Of books, newspa-
pers, theatrical amusements and lectures,
but the most practical method ever de-
vised by man is the public exposition Of
works Of industry in both science and
art. Human ingenuity records itself in
thousand ways at this building. For
twenty-five cents our people can enjoy
themselves for hours gazing upon works
Of art, specimens Of agricultural and
mechanical progress. Who can afford
to remain away2 Our school teachers
and pupils should select some after
noon or evening and visit the Ex-
position in a body. Arrangements
can be made with the managers for re-
duction in price Of admission for this
purpose. Along the different lines of
railroads excursion parties should be or
ganized and thousands should come.
The LEDGER printing press and steam
engine creates the greatest interest. II
is one of the chief attractions at the Ex-
position. At 10 o'clock M, 2 pm,
and from I to 10 at night, the press will
be at work, performing its great mission
in preparing news for the people. The
grotto, with its gushing waters and
charming shrubbery, is an object of at
traction to the ladies. The fountain,
with its spray, the turtles, alligators and
goldfish in the basin, can never be for
gotten by the children who crowd around
every evening, and with enlarged optics
watch the denizens of the deep. The
Exposition is rapidly becoming social
necessity with our citizens; and in what
more delightful manner could the old
and young enjoy themselves2 To-day
new attractions are being displayed. Our
business and working men are becoming
euthused, and seem determined to make
the Exposition successful in every par,

HARDWARE AT THE EXPOSITION.

J. HARDWARE Al I'M EAfOSi iAONs ff
Among the many attractions may be
mentioned the display Of hardware by
that old established and sterling house,
0rgill Brothers & Co.. whose extensive
establishment at Nos. $40 aud 3l2 Front
street, is SO we'll known in this Southern
country as the place to procure hard
ware, cutlery, guns, agricultural nipple
ments and machinery. 0rgill Brothers
& Co. have fitted up a most attractive
stand in the east gallery Of the Expo
sition building, just above the beautiful
fountain. The taste displayed by Mr.
Vosburg Of the above house in arrang-
ing the articles Of hardware aud cutlery
received many compliments last night,
A grand "spread-eagle ? looks like q
painting, yet it is made of files, chains,
screws and general articles Of Wholesale
hardware. It took an artistic eye and
mind to get up the design. Another at
traction is the anvil made of carriage
bolts; and still another is the wonderful
paddock made Of padlocks. Messrs.
Orgill Brothers & Co. may congratulate
each other on their display made at the
Exposition. 1t shows enterprise and
taste--two elements properly cultivated
BY this sterling house. Every person
visiting the Exposition should see these
cnriosities in the hardware and cutlery
lines.
EXPOSITION OPEN UNTIL ELEVEN AT NIGHT.
In accordance with a suggestion made
by the LEDGER, the enterprising and far
seeing Board of Directors has deter
mined to keep the Exposition open each
night until eleven o'clock, instead of
ten, as heretofore. This has been the
public wish, and the Directory has ex-
ercised good Judgment in ordering a
change of time. The working people,
who represent large and respectable
portion OF our community, the theater-
goers, the victims of fashion, those who
don't go home till morning Vim fact
all Of our citizens and visitors from the
country can find time to inspect the
Exposition after the supper hour, which
varies in Memphis from seven until nine
at night. 81 tas-g .-.

POLICE CoURT.-There were three
cases before the Police Court yesterday
two assaults and one plain drunk. Only
one of them, the plain drunk, stuck,
the others didn't pan out to the salts
faction of the prosecutors, who had
the costs to pay.
John Mcconnell was on the war
path, Wednesday. He was found on
the afternoon Of that day lying on the
the wall at the school house corner Of
Sixth and Clay streets. chock full. 81
and costs was the penalty.
James McGannon was charged with
abusing Leopold Alderman, on Friday
last at Leopolds house. The evidence
showed that the war Of words grew out
of a horse trade, but failed to es'
tablish the fact of McGannon having
done anything wrong, The suit was
dismissed at Alderman cost.
George Letzcue was charged with
having committed an assault on Thorn
az Wins, on Saturday last. The
evidence was to the effect that the as.
sault was first made by Wins. Suit dis
missed at Wins costs.

LOUD AND ABUSIVE LANGUAGE.-On
Wednesday night last Jack Horst was
arrested and taken before Justice
Schultz on q warrant issued at the in.
stance of Jacob Rumpf, who charged
Horst with using loud and abusive Ian,
guage toward him. A hearing of the
case resulted in Horst being fined 81
and costs, and being held in the sum Of
$50 to be Of good behavior for six
months. As soon as the Justice had
decided the case Horst, swore out war
rant for the arrest Of Rumpf on the same
charge. This last case was to have
been heard last night. These lawsuits
are the sad effects Of too much chin
music"

United STATES DISTRICT COURT

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
Before this Court yesterday Hans
Frederick Behrens, a native Of Prussia,
received his papers Of naturalization.
Robert S. Blair Of Richie county,
was admitted to the practice OF law be-
fore this Court.
The testimony in the case Of Camp
bell, Mccullough & Co. against Gill,
Kelly & Co. was taken. The suit is
brought on a contract made in 1854, by
which the plaintiffs bound themselves
to furnish pig iron to the defendants, at
stated price per ton. The iron was
not delivered until December OF that
year Meantime the price of iron had
declined some $14 per ton, and the de-
PENDANTS refused TO pay the con-
tract price for the iron, claiming
that it should have been delivered
at least month earlier. The plaintiff 8
held that they delivered the iron on the
first rise in the water that would permit
a loaded boat to come up the river, the
defendants claiming that there was a
rise 10 November when the iron conld
be delivered. The suit is brought to
recover the difference in the contract
price of the iron and the price the plain
tffs had to take. The amount in con-
troversy is about $1,000. The case will
be given to the jury this morning.
The Court adjourned to meet this
morning at 10 o'clock, when the cause
of Hoffman, Curtis d Co. against the
Citizens Fire, Marine and Life lnsur-
ance Company will be be called.
The trial of Joseph Harwood for
passing counterfeit money, will COM
mence to-day.
