THE EXPOSITION.
Seventh Day. -
swarm Of visitors from the Country
Addfttopal Attractions.

Il
snd the arrival of morning trains brought
goodly number Of people to our city. The
streets were lively during the entire fore
noon, and the sale of admission tickets at
the Exposition was largely in increase of
any day since the opening. 1t takes
large crowd, However, to make any show
in the spacious building, which will accom-
modate people by the thousands. The
tastes of community run III diff
ferent directions. While all visitors will be
charmed at first sight with the magnificent
decorations, and will linger for a considera-
BILE time in looking at the construction and
beauties of the cascades, and the attractive
scenes of our home artist, yet these views
are in different parts of the building, and
there is continual moving to and fro on
the part of spectators. In passing from one
point to another, attractive and SNOWY arti
cles are to be seen on every side. One day
will not suffice to make the entire circuit
with any degree of satisfaction
to the visitor. We noticed
q group of ladies and gentlemen for full
hour around the glass-blowing establishment
and at this part of the exhibition they
would be Just as agreeably entertained upon
a second visit. The attractions in Power
Hall, too, are numerous, and to those who
have an appreciation of machinery, hours
can be spent roitably in this department.
Then the Horticultural Ca den has its beau
tiful flowers and rare plants and beautiful
walks, where promenading is q pleasure.
The large amount of space devoted to
agricultural implements makes that
department very attrac. i've to those inter
ested in the improvements which are con-
staDtly being brought out. No one can
visit the Art Gallery, and go through hur
riedly. There is too much to take in at
sudden glance, and an entire day would
hardly be sufficient time to form correct
idea Of the many rare paintings on exhibit
ton. The galleries, too, are filed with so
many attractive articles that weeks might
be consumed, and even then, miss many ar
ticles of merit. Go where you will in the
building, there is sonnet hing to be seen
to interest and profit.
THE FURNITURE DISPLAY.
A pretty piece of furniture is always to
be admired. The ladies in particular, will
always stop to look at an elegant finished
parlor get, or something for the bedroom.
"That will be such nice bedroom set for
us 10 have, Mr.. Smith, when we get mar
RED" says young lady TO her betrothed.
"You shall have it," says Smith. [Gentle-
men on the eve of marriage, promise largely. !
"Oh! what a magnificent set of parlor
chairs" says Mrs. Brown to the sedate Mr..
B. 81 know 1 deserve something fine.
| Your second wife won't take cs.e of your
house like 1 have" Brown sug-
gested in an easy sort OF way
| that they were very handsome,
but he believed that he could get along I'M
til next week with those on hand. Just
look at that elegant marble-top bureau"
said little Miss, as the gorgeous chain
which hung in festoons around her lovely
form (and to which were suspended parasol,
fan and other things,) became wrappe
around the leg Of a by-stander. "Pa shall
buy that for my room if he breaks next
minute" "Beg pardon, Miss" interrupted
the gentleman enchanted, "you have me
completely cabled," excuse me, sir"
said the little beauty: "upon the stormy
sea of life, We are apt to cast anchor at
times rather suddenly and when least ex-
pected." 81 feel that l am fortunate in be-
ing the haven of rest to you in this partic-
ular instance" (said the gen
tleman,) scan ever hope
that you will anchor your affections in the
bosom of one who loves you dearly
"Never, sir, until pap buys me that bureau;
and with this remark she darted of in full
rig, and more grscef4i little craft it would
be hard to find. We could chronicle othel
episodes that occurred, and repeat sundry
remarks made by visitors in the way o.
comparison between the different exhibitors

made by Nichol & McGavock, Weakley q
