There is so much of promise and so
little of performance among men gene.
rally that confidence is, therefore, reoog.
nized as plant of but slow growth.
There are some things, however, SO
abundant in performance as to admit Of
neither doubt nor question. About such
things there is no nonsense, and chief
among these is the grand Gift Concert
OF the Public Library of Kentucky,
which comes off November Both In
deed there can be no nonsense about
this. Governor B:amlette announces it
certainly for the day named. The gifts
are all cash, and there are 10000 OF
them, and S9,5OO,OOO to be divided out

INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.
E,rhteeuth Day.

The number of visitors to the Exposi-
ton last night was much larger that we
expected TO see, as the election had
absorbed the attention of the sterner sex
throughout the day, and the polls at
night were thronged to hear the result.
But il is over mot the Exposition, but
the eIectiou), the country is saved,
and from now on till the close

stands in the center Of main hall near
the stage. This show case contains sew
eial fine specimens Of workmanship in
ladies shoes, gents boots, slippers, and
children's shoes. The establishment
where these goods we're manufactured is

woodwork and imitation marble for man
tel pieces, shelving, etc. 1t is arranged
with great taste and evinces the hand OF
skilled artist. These signs on glass
are used largely, and Mr.. Davis has won
for himself quite reputation for the
satisfaction he gives in manufacturing
them. The marble imitation is handsome
in design, and is finished so natural that
il appears even at close examination
to be real marble. 1t is executed with

Prof. Scales' Female College.

There is no educational institute
in the State that has grown so rapidly
in public estimation and in the num-
Der Of its patrons, as Prof. Scales Fe-
male College. Nor is it a mooted
point that all this is owing to the in
structive talents of its very popular
chief, so faithfully and effectively see
onded by one of the best trained and
accomplished facultys in the South.
OF course, such combination of men
tai power, to use trite phrase, twill
tell, }" and the rapid increase in the at
tendance at the institute, has called
for an addition to the faculty. This
has been made in the person of Miss
Rosa Harris, who graduated with sig
nal distinction at the New Orleans
High School, and who is a lady of ripe
experience as practical and skilled
preceptress. Thus panoplied the Dallas
Female College need fear no obstacle
in its continued march upward and on.

makes her first appearance in this city
at Fields Theatre, tomorrow night.
Miss Gray as Mercy Merrick, last
night in the play of New Magdalen,
was perfection itself If Mercy Mer-
rick had really lived, if she had really
been the woman Wilkie Collins con-
ceived her to be, full of the noblest
traits nature endows woman with, and
all the weaknesses, too, she would not
have been more Mercy Merrick than
Miss Gray made her on the stage. her
voice, her glorious voice, that makes
one thank God for the blessing of
speech, was soft and sweet as the
cooling of doves in the plaintive parts,
and deep toned as the thunder, when
outraged and wronged. Her acting
connot be eXcelled, which, added to
her grace and her personal beauty,
make her one of the most attractive
tragediennes of the day.

Mr.. Spencer Is well known to the cd

dren in the space of four months. In
this connection, we extract the follow
ing from the ST. Louis Western Edu-
cational Review for December:
We regret TO learn that Mr.. III, A.
Spencer has served his connection with
the public school of st. Louis. For
three years he has been superintend-
ent of the writing departments Of our
schools, and it is but justice to say that,
under his direction, astonishing pro-
gress has been made. Thoroughly con-
versant with his profession, he possess
es the faculty of imparting instruction
to greater extent than ady other of
the great masters of penmanship whom
it has been our fortune to meet. A
thorough gentleman, he has endeared
himself 10 u large circle of friends, who
fully appreciate the loss they are called
on to sustain. May his success in life
be such as his eminent talents deserve.
Mr.. Lawrence isrecently from Hills
boro, Miss, where he has taught n
commercial and high school for the
past three years, with eminent success.
We cheerfully commend these gen.
tlemen to the favorable patronage of
our citizens.
