THE EXPOSITION.

Anil Average Attendance Last Night
-The Trapeze PerfOrmence-Musie
Grand Indian Tableaux-Attraetton
for Next Neutrality-suspicious. Ex-
peeted To-Dsy-Fuighums Patent
FTIterer, etc
There was an average attendance al the
Exposition last night, and the programme
Of the evening was successfully carried out.
There was a noticeable sprinkling Of
strangers in the building, and all seemed TO
enioy the occaSiod to its fullest extent.
The Young men who manipulate the
trapeze have been put on double duty, and
will hereafter perform each afternoon, in
addition to the usual night exhibition.
The musical programme given last night
was unusually attractive. 1t was arranged
by Mons. FuesSel, the leader, in honor of
Gen. Pennypaeker and staff, who were pre-
sent during the evening.
The grand Indian tableaux, by Col.
Baily and daughter, under the supervision
of Green Morrow and the energetic chair
man of the Committee ON AmusementS,
was one of the features Of the evening
amusement. The pistol, sword add dag
ger scenes, closing with the death OF the
''brave," were aTtiStically placed on the
boards, and would have been more fully
appreciated had the points of the tableaux
been generally understood. We can only
excuse the lack of appreciation by the tact
that the points were only familiar. to the
parties directly interested, and too deep Tor
the superficial observer.
An excursion train will be run to-day on
several of the railroads, and the usual Fri
day night throng may be expected.
The attractions for next week have been
arranged, and il is to be made the grand
gala week of the season. The baby-shOw,
the concert by ZOO children, ndthe public
singers, together with the Fire Department,
and other a.nusements equally attractive,
will draw immense crowds from all parts
of the country, and the Fon:tI Annual En-
position, undoubtedly, will close in a blaze
of glory.
Can't. Thatcher yesterday presented the
ladies' in charge of the dining hall with q
case of No. / oysters. The presentation
was made through Mrs. G. T. Stubbs, O
| Edgefield. The ladies' are getting along
pTosperously in their good work. They
serve ND oysters in every style. and theil
table is well filed with the best tee market
affords. Visitors can get a good meal foI
fifty cents, aud be assured il is equal TO any
| furnished al the hotels.
Several lost articles have been picked up
IN the Exposition building. and can be re
| covered by the owners calling on Mr.
Brown Morgan, the entry clerk, and proving
/ property.
FTLGHUN'S PATENT I'll TElIER.
Mr.. ]. G. Fulghum, the popular proprie
| tor of the Commercial Hotel, who has sue
eessfullv demonstrated his ability TO catel
| 10 the wants of the inner man, now come;
| forward with one of the most useful inven
tons that has been presented TO the public
| in many day. We allude to the patent
| flterer on exhibition in the main hall
near the centre, and of which Mr.. T. is the
patentee. This filter extrac.s all vegetable
| matter and impurities from water, and add:
| Is per cent. to its GOODNESS. BY a simple
| system of pipes the water passes from The
rsseTvoirthrougha compressedsp sponge inside
| o. asOblOng chest, and is furnished instantly
at the faucet relieved of all impurities, ant
| clear as crystal. The filter can also be at
tached TO any hydrant, and full supply o
! pure. healthy water kept always on hand
Il can also be used for hltering cider
wines. etc, and can be used in variOu.
/ ways DY OTuggiSts.
The use of impure water, either for cook
ing or drinking, generates disease asd feed:
an epidemic. 1t is a fact well-known Il
the medical authorities, that our river anC
| cistern waters contain more or less impure
vegetable matter, and, in the proportion i
| is infected, will breed and encourage dis
ease. The Fulghum Filter Obyiates al
this by purifying the water befnr
| il is used. There is but little cost in II!
construction, and 1t is within the reach o
every housekeeper. 1t is easily managed
| the only care necessary 10 seep it 10 Orde
being to removethe sponge once each month
Mr.. Fulghum has thoroughly tested TIN
| patent filterer, and knows the article Il
which he calls public atten ion to be every
thing to which it lays claim. He has had
one in operation at the Commercial HOte
the past year, and il has proved itself relia
| bic and durable. and is kept in order at ;
| trifiing expense. One Of these filterers vii
last through generations, and, when gener
ally known, will sell as rapidly rs they car
[ be turned out.
We congratulate Mr.. Fulghum and th'
| public on this useful invention, and hops
soon to know of its being introduced int
| every family in the country.
