THE EXP0SITIONa
Eighth Day Of the Grand Exhibition Of
Industry and Art.
An Immense Gathering OF the People
Everybody Delighted-A Marvel
OF Beauty.

Fate and the managers decreed It, and
hence it came To pass that the Exposi-
ton Of Memphis-the great show of the
Bluff City-should be perfected within
eight days from it, opening. It was
perfected. Everybody who had any
thing to send sent 1t, and everybody who
had any work to do did it. The things
are now there and the work IS now done,
and the earnest people who labored to
achieve their ends are resting, with their
chins upon their horny palms, smiling
a brief smile of satisfaction. They viii
be up again directly and bestirTing
themselves to the accomplishment OF
some new project; and so they go on,
laboring and petting through the hours,
through the sunshine and darkness, until
they disappear through some traphole in
the stage and are seen no more
Every nook and corner in the great
building is occupied, and well occupied
The visitor Is at a loss to tell or
know where to turn on entering
the building, on either end. The
shortest way n can go through
the bailding is in four turns-two below
and two on the galleries. When inside
the door follow along on your right until
YOU reach the other end of the hall.
Then go upstairs and come back along
the gallery. Gross over 10 the other gal
Iery and go down that, then descend to
the lower floor, and pass along the side
opposite to that which you first exam-
ined, to the point at which you entered
The shortest time in which this can be
completely done is four half hours, but
even then the visit will fail to give you
a thorough idea of the Exposition. You
must make three or four such visits, and
every time find something new. One
can very well conceive how a lady
would wish to linger a half hour admir-
ing VPgeli's case Of shoes, or Mans
ford's case Of books, or the wax figures
showing off peculiar wigs. The art gall
lery itself would require about two WIS.,
its. The splendid chemical display will
attract and entertain. Loving couples,
whether married or not, will hnger de-
Iightfully around the Rurmuring foun-
tains and the adjacent jewelry cases
All who admire mechanical c~Ontrivances
viii be charmed, no doubt, by witness
ing the little engines operate, or in look
ing at the other marvellous contrivances
of human skill for the a~bbreviation of
toll. The mind will be constantly re-
lieved by passing from one class Of OBJ
iects t. another, all essentially different,
and entirely new and strange. Should
a feeling OF languor or WEAKNESS
overcome he spirit Of the fair
observers, there is music always
ready to drown the soul in waves
Of delicious Uelonv Or rouse it to heroic
dreams BY suorns If coneordant sounds
nothing but vihrztions in the atmos-
phere, common mechanical contrivsnce
after all, and thus a visit to the Expo
sition may be made a ~pleasurable pas
time, a thing of sweets, to be ever after
ward recalled with rapture. About
seven or eight thousand people visited
the place yesterday. There vas a fine
throng there all day, but particularly at
night.
OTTO CLEMENS.
This is the name of a poor German
who, without other capital than his
knowledge of understanding, has IN
dertaken that business at 70 Main street.
Too poor to hire a ma or boy to watch
be present TO explain his wares, he
may be seen daily at the Exposition
Building plying his trade, surrounded by
watchful and curious crowds, who are
full Of wonder at the dexterity with
which Otto moves his nimble fingers.
His presence at the Exposition, and the
ereditable display of work which he
makes, has excited q great deal Of atten-
ton, and we would not be surprised if
hereafter Otto Clemens comes to be
numbered among the successful manu-
f~acturers Of Memphis. He Onlydeserves
success who works for it. Otto is one of
these.
BRooMs.
1t was long a problem whether the
manufacture Of brooms could be
made a success here. One after an
other of those who embarked
in it gave up in disgust, falling to get
the support necessary to keep them go
All gave way but Cameron, who
has a little Memphis boy in the ExpOsi-
ton Building, who makes brooms with
ease, quickness, and SO well as to
challenge the admiration Of all behold
ers. He may be e any night, seated
at a bench of his own making, designed
by himself, and put together by his Owl
labor. AT this, this young fellow Illus
trates what Industry may do, and Whist
it can effect. His name is Morris, and
three years ago he began to study the
trade be now is master Of, and by whichhe
is able to make brOOms that surpass any
thing to be had in foreign markets. We
give this notice to this young boy, and
the above to Otto Clemens, solely be-
cause they merit them and deserve such
recognition at our hands. And so, in
the same spirit, we call attention to the
RRUsuRs
made by R.. r. Thomas, who, unaided
by capital, has gone on for years in a
small way, working and toiling and
daily increasing, here a little and there
a little, unconscious, perhaps, that he
was doing aught to increase the reputa-
ton Of the city, OF add to her mechani-
cal renown. His show OF brushes
embraces all descriptions, such as
or hOusekeepers use, and
may be seen near the southeast
corner, under the gallery. Our
German basket-maker is near the CEN
OF the hall, and our broom-maker is
n the northeast corner, under the gal
near the printing press.
CHEMICALS.
One of the most creditable displays

Exposition is that of DR.. Hoerner, whose
anne as an analytical chemist is known
II all men in these parts. The Doctor
las lifted up the space allotted him in
.lcoye style, in red, white and blue
,alico.l Along the front there is a hand
,ome showcase Of plate glass, filled
With fancy goods Of the class which
dOerner imports directly, and the
ale Of which has brought him no
title Of the high character he
IN his profession. This is
az either end by narrow up
light cases flied, that at the north with
chemicals in the natural state, and that
It the south with the same chemically
reated and raadysor use incidentally or
among other material of
his SOFT that We noticed very eonspieu-
Jus we may mention EPSON salts, found
n Arkansas. OF this the Doctor has
wo jars-full, one the natural state, the
