Sefer Psshs. of Egypt, who presented an
Arabian stallion Of Victor Emmanuel.
This fine horse was nine years old, and a
descendant from one Of the most celebra-
ted racers of the East The beauty of these
animals, with their long silky names and
tails, is the subject of general remark, and
their docility and gentleness carries out
the idea we have received from books of
the genuine Arabian steed. These hurried
notes of the horse-show could be greatly
extended, but have glanced at the most
important lots and must omit the rest

MEMPHIS.

A correspondent writing from Memphis,
says: Some parts of the city are nearly alb
solutely abandoned. You can walk square
after square, day and night, without finding a
soul to talk to-without finding an open door
or seeing any light or any other signs of life.
Death or fright have carried or driven the
people all away. An owner OF property in
what is called the .'infected district" directed
his agent, as a matter of charity, not to call
on his tenants for pay on the usual day, and
some time after, when going through the
neighborhood, it was found that all his houses
were empty. Those who had not been taken
by the plague had been driven off by terror
Business is at perfect standstill, when, had
it not been for the epidemic, Memphis would

residences are closed, gixing those funeral
appearance which even have had no such sad
occasion of mourning within their walls. Most
of them, however, are associated in the minds
of the citizens with scenes of disease and
death. Very few ladies are met on the streets,
save those wearing the badges Of some char
liable society or the weeds of mourning. The
street cars are never crowded, generally hav-
ing but one or two passengers, and are scarce
ly more numerous than hearses. Theatres,
of course, are all closed, and so, too, are more

of words, and, accomplishing my purpose, l

here that temperate use of alcohol is prob

THE TURNER'S SECOND MAsQUERADE.-The Tur-

that there will be very few OF kind. Every
one who comes is requested TO report his character
to the committee, so us TO enable them to prevent
too many ofthc same character being represented.
The idea is TO have diversity. While the commit
tee will not attempt to dictate TO any one what
character he or she shall assume, they will thus
be enabled to make suggestions for the benefit of
the msskers themselves that they will gladly avail
themselves of.
. As the spectators will not be permitted to crowd
the floor, there will be more room for the process.
sions and groups, and especially the dancers, none
being allowed there but those who wish to dance
Spectators will be comfortably provided for on the
stage, in the gallery, and perhaps row of seats

The supper will be ample for all, and the music
the best that Ottawa can afford.

fine assortment Of masks comprising every variet,
