ADJUSTMENTS.



The TheateF.
Last night Samson was reproduced,
with Mr.. Charles Pope in the leading role.
There was by no means a full house, and yet
liable and artistic. We think cur citizens
have missed a great deal this week by falling
TO attend the thester. which certainly mas nnd
good boards every evening. There Will DC
matinee this evening, when samson Wall be
played. Tonight the Robbers will be present
ed, and IS this Is the last Appearance o. hlI,
Pope in Memphis we hope 20 see good house
present
The Bethel Concert.
We are glad 10 know that the second
Bethel concert, at Greenlaw Operahouse last
ment, in lis general character, Tar exeelleu
the previous one, aud hence the audience
was more than PLEASANTLY entertained. The
officers and managers OF the Memphis Bethel !
should feel very much gratified at the warm |
tuition which they are so faithfully conduct |
ing. The result OF the two concerts has fully |
established in the minds OF the publlc the !
fact that the officers and teachers of the !
Bethel have not been idle, nor have they been /
unremittinR in their efforts TO teach and trai n
the unfortunate and destitute children OF
Memphis. Last night the following ladies |
and gentlemen and pupils participat. d III the |

The Exposition.
Yesterday there were not many visit
ors 70 the Exposition. The building is receiy-
ing now articles every hour, and workmen
and exhibitors are yet busily engaged In pre-
pairing stands and arranging cases. Toe entire
space viii soon De flied, and then the main
hall will be additionally attractive. The dis
est ever made in Memphis. Every branch OF
trade, and many OF the mechanical industries
are literally represented. The exhibition of
sllverware does credit to Memphis and the
jewellers who deal in these goods. The chow
cases are costly and handsome, and their con-
tents are arranged ID the most appropriate
manner. The display of queenswRre and toll
lette articles is another prominent feature I'M
the exhibition. The merchants OF Memphis
never responded so generously 10 any enter
prise as they have TO the present Exposition, I
II their spirit OF interest may be judged by !
the number of articles on exhibition. We
trust our citizens and the people Of the /
surrounding country viii now avail them- /
selves of 4 favorable opportunity 70 visit an 4
industrial exposition worthy OF their pres I
ence II Will Interest, instruct and delight \
every one from the true mechanic and honest /
labOrer 70 the scientist and conHofsse'tr of art.
To 81 strangers visiting the city, ths EXPOSE I
to1 affords an inviting place OF amusement, !
which, once seem will leave no unpleasant |
recollection behind. The people OF West /
Tennessee should, II possible, do all IN their /
power to encourage and assist Memphis in ,
sustaining this enterprise, which Is OF char 4
acter and magnitude to be creditaole TO the .
genius, industry and public spirit Of the 4
whole State. From day TO day the attend /
ance will doubles increase, 81 that II viii /
not be long ere the Exposition viii be visited |
by great numbers of persons, both in the day /
and the evening.
THE FOUNTAIN,
located IN the main hall, has been very much |
beautihed, and is now one OF the features OF
the Exposition. By means of recent improve /
ments, il throws fourteen streams OF water, /
which inteTsect and curve. with maIhematt- /
cal precision, so as 70 present pleasing PIC /
ture 70 the eye. IN the basin OF the fountain I
ara many valuable plants, which we noticed /
the lCdI datd ,dlOcdsid, ddiceatna 6eg0 a. FERNS
ETC., lastly arranged, and continually Z altered
by the silver-ilke shower. Every one enter
ing the Exposition will be attracted 10 this /
beautiful fountain, and linger there 70 enjoy |
its beauties.
FOREIGN EXHIBITORS.
We are glad to know that our Exposition is
favorably regarded by the manufacturers and
merchants of distant cities. st Louis, Phlla
delphia, Cincinnati and other places are rep
men, who appreciate the Importance Of plac-
ing their wares and products before the pub
lie eye. Among Inc articles nom other cities
to be seen. on hibition is a large and excel
lent locomotive reflector manufactured by
St Louis firm. Middle Tennessee, too, has
some interest Ia our exposition, as Is eVl-
denced In the display made by Messrs AS
quit, Hampton Holman, OF the Elk River
wooden mills, Fayetteville, Lincoln county,
tennessee. These gentlemen deserve credit
for their enterprise in contributing their
goods TO our Exposition. Tney have on ex-
hibItiOn half a dozen different qualities OF
jeans, and from the card attached II Is seen
hat tney also manufacture cassimeres, broad
cloths and blankets. We hope the day is not
far distant when Memphis will be able 10 ex-
h bit her own manufactured goods and pro-
ducts of skilled labor, for which she is now
indebted in such great measure 10 other
cities and towns.
THE ATTENDANCE LAST NIGHT
was quite creditable, the number Of visitors
being estimated at two thousand. Now is the
time for young men of surplus means TO show
how much they think OF their sweethearts by
eBcorting them TO the Exposition, buying
bouquets. and partRking Of refreshments, etc.
Last night the bouquet-stand was thronged
with gentlemen, who evidently admired me
beauty of the young ladies in charge OF the
floral bazaar, as much as they did the fragrant
roses and geraniums. so long as graceful !
nv smiles greet the visitor. This stand viii
be, by far, one of the most attractive Gestures
IN the Exposition. Gentlemen who prone
made with young ladies' are expected 70 pa
rOnize the bouquet-stand; for by so doing
hey not only secure an appropriate gift for
heir fair partners, but also contribute small
stand which is IN the interest Of charitable
purpose, should also receive a liberal patron
age from visitors, especially those who are SO
nervous that they cannot rightly enjoy what
5 to be seen at the Exposition. Among the
visitors last night were many persons from
he country. We hope our country friends
will feel sufficient interest in the present Ex-
position TO give IL the patronage which 1t de-
serves. They cannot fail to be repaid for Wis
ting the building and looking through its
raTious depsrtme1ts OF Interest, To-day the
water will be let on in the cascade, which
viii then be the most beautltul, as wei as the
most novel feature in the Exposition. 1t has
already attra cted the attention Of every Wis
tor. and elected praise from those who have
Examined It's natural-I1ke beauties. 10 the
7oung pc PIE Z viii become favorite resort, ,
or within o. charming Enclosure there are ,
rot so ulsuT persons TO watch the soft glance
hat will be inspired by the beautiful sur 3
OuG ulngs. In fact, one feels almost IN so ne
omantic vale, where nature in her pic
uresque and enchanted beauty is undls-
urbed by the hand OF human art.
By No day all u the cases and platforms

THE OLD MEMPHIS BAND.
The music is excellent is the way every
yody expressed it last night, the first of the
1ru menade concerts proposed TO be given each
evening during the continuance of the Expo
ition. Professor Herman Arnold won for
himself much praise and hosts of friends
lmoDg the lovers OF good music, for the eX-
e lent prOgramme and the admirable man |
ler in which IL was interpreted last night;
Ind the new directory have acted wisely In
entirely from the building the

eaSon is one of the features of the Exposition. .
