mOrtalized by transmission to future
and admiring generations in endur-
ing and life-like wax. Memphis is too
young yet to boast OF an art collection.
Her people are yet, too much perhaps,
| indued with a money-getting spirit,
and have neither the time nor means
to spare in collecting paintings or stata-
aTy, and such articles of UoTtu and 6ijou-
ter5e as are necessary to a complete col
lection. The exhibition Of Mrs. Jarley
will therefore be all the more priced, and
II will, besides amusing all who shall
have the pleasure of seeing it, perhaps
leave behind lesson teaching the great
value of art, even in the form which
Mrs. farley loves go well, and of which
she is the greatest living exponent. We
have not the space to enumerate the
long list OF names OF historic and local
! personages selected for immortality; suf-
nee it that nearly every yidiosyncratic in
dlVldual now in Memphis, and many thsU
nave departed, viii be found in one or
the other OF the chambers in
which the exhibitor, great be-
lever, by the way, in women's
rights, has set up her forty or more inn
mortals. Madam Tussaud herself has
nothing better, judging by what we
have seen, and we feel almost certain
that our wealthy men will be inspired
to purchase Mrs. Jarley's collection, as
the nucleus of an art-collection, one OF
these days to reflect credit upon Men,
phis. We have no idea that the old
lady would part with all or any of her
figures, but we feel sure that such will
be the force and effect of her example
in taste and culture. We are on the
very tip-toe of expectancy, and wait
with almost bated breath for the au-
pearance of the renowned farley and
her wax figures.
