INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.
Twenty.Fifth Day.

The interest in the Exposition remains
as great as it has been for the past two
weeks, as is shown by the large number
of visitors who have attended during
the past three days of inclement weather.
Between one and two thousand visited
the building last night, and a. good num-
Der are promenading the halls and gal
leries today. Several special excursion
trains will arrive this evening and to-
morrow, and it is expected that the great
attractions of the remaining two days
will call together larger crowds than can
comfortably see the great sights and
curiosities. Tonight the Flip and
Flop" pantomlne will again be put on
the stage. There was a picture present
ed in the art gallery this morning at
about 10 o clock, not before witnessed.
A couple sought this poetical spot for
the termination of misery long endured
in the trying peril of love-making with
the disapproval of stern "parient"
They had plighted vows to become two
souls with but single thought" and de-
cided to light out for parts where frown-
ing father was not This city was their
destination, and this mornings train on
the Mississippi and Tennessee railroad
bore them hither He of the clerical
robes was sought and found. and the trio
resolved upon visit to the Exposition.
Upon arriving there the ever.polIte Su-
perinteudent Hainer was made aware of
the fact that the swain's name was John
Freeze, of fernando, Miss, and 10 con-
sideration of the cool weather wanted to
freeze unto Miss - Phillips, of Tate
county, Miss, for good and for all, for
better or for worse. The Superintendent
raised the index finger Of his left hand
alongside his nose, and his eyes upon
the floor, spake thus: Take her, and
may you be happy" Amid a group of
early visitors and officers of the EXPOSE
ton who witnessed the nuptials, they
were made man and wife. Then there
was much tittering and nudging. The
glass.blower bet the fortune.teller that
the automaton man dare not kiss the
bride. The Professor being man of
great nerve, took the blushing bride by
the hands, and to the dismay and con-
sterRation of the frightened groom, i'm.
printed upon her lips buss, very loud
and distinct This was no place for Mr..
Freeze, and with Mrs. Freeze Of but a
few moments, left the building with the
congratulations Of all present.

The parlor set Of furniture exhibited,
among other articles, by
BRYsoy CAMP
Of 22e Main street, is certainly one of the
handsomest we ever saw. There are
seven pieces--a settee, two arm-chairs,
and four small chairs. A special exam
ination Of this beautiful parlor set will
repay visitors. Their collection Of car
pets, rugs, oil cloths, and curtain goods,
is also one Of The hanisomest in the
building.
