Ulysses on the field of Troy, and no one of
those describing this pain ing seemed to
have correct idea of its historical mean
ing. Homer thus gives Us the picture in
classic style:
"Meriones with culver, bow and sword,
FURNISHED Ulysses, and his brows enclosed
In his own casque of hide with many thong
Well braced within; guarded it was without
With boar's teeth ivory, white, inherent, nrm
On all sides, and with wooden head piece lined.
That helmet AntOlysus had brought
From Elson, city of Amyntor, son
OF HOrmenus, where he the solid walls
Bored through, clandestine, of Amyntor's house,
He on Amphidaneas the prize bestowed
In Scandal; from Amphidaneas it pass'd
To Molus as hospitable pledge;
He gave ii to MeriOnes his son,
And now it guarded shrewd Ulysses, brows."
ANY further information concerning
Ulysses can be found in the 10th book of

Capt. Thatcher, who is remarkably fond
Of birds especially spring chickens, broiled)
has been devoting considerable attention to
the training of that owl which is to be seen
Vic SUllOuAhlDS luO
ca cade, and be has made very satisfactory
progress, now being able to make him wink
at a given signal, End as frequently as he
desires, which winks are characterized by

MISCELLANEOUS.
Mrs. E. Butler has placed on exhibition
in the balcony, some splendid specimens Of
worsted work, portion of which has been
on exhibition before, but in these former
displays Mrs. Butler was not "worsted," as
the numerous prizes shown with the articles
demonstrate.
Next to these articles, is box filled with
others of a similar character, the handiwork
of a lady 20 years of age, as we learn by
card attached. but which card fails to give
the name ofthe lady. These specimens are
also very fine.
Hicks, Houston & Co. show splendid
lot of glass, china, and gilt-ware, statutes,
both in bronze and marble, and fine silver
sarvice.
Huntington's display of fine boys and
mems clothing attracts universal attention,
and is greatly admired, more than one
young man having given it as his honest
and deliberate opinion that any one OF his
mems suits are quite good enough to get
married in. s. me of them propose to test
the question, too.
The display of books of all sizes, prices
and quantities, and of home manufacture,
by the Southern Methodist Publishing
House, and by the firm of Wheeler, Mar
shall g. Bruce. is a credit to the
CITY, there being no better specimens OF
this charac. er to be found anywhere.
J.R. Montgomery exhibits some fine
specimeDs of work in his line, having a
large display case filled with stencils OF all
kinds and fashions, lodge and notary seals,
key checks, door plates, etc.
Chas. 81. Gauthier has on exhibition an
extensive assortment ofpaints, oils, brushes,
wax flower goods, artists material, ETC.,
which he calls universal attention to by the
free distribution of dodgers containing his
business card, tackled on to one OF the fan
NEST stories of the Danbury Neacs man.

DIDN'T FOOL HIM.
A couple of young men, evidently from
abroad, were yesterday observed gazing in
tently upon the summer scene and water
fall-universally acknowledged to be the
| attraction OF the Exposition, when one
slowly remarked, "Bill, there's many q
| burned fool in our section who'd think that
was real water, but it ain't-you can't fool
me-"
A rural gentleman of literary and prac
| tical turn of mind, was overheard expatia-
ting 10 companion upon the many inter
| esting pictures to be seen in the Art Gale
~. Said he: "There's lot of noted poets
in there" .E
"What are their names?" inquired the
other.
"Oh Byron, and Capt. Stocked, and An
son Nelson and Shakespeare and lot o.
'em," was the reply.
THE CROWD
last night was principally made up o
strangers, and people from The country sur
rounding the city, and from all of these
nothing but words of praise and common
dation were heard. As 3 proof that the
show in the line of agricultural implements
is especially fine, we may mention the fac
that among the exhibitors is gentleman
who has taken over five hundred premiums
on agricultural implements of various kinds
and he says that be never saw the dis
plav in this line excelled anywhere
Complaint is made that certain individu
ais in attendance at the Exposition, amus'
themselves in fastening to the clothes
4 of those passing, by means OF pins
plscards of various kinds. Jokes OF thi
sort are stupendous, of course, and nom
