nicely made quilts embeliishsd with curious
designs and surely conclusive to 'sweet sleep
and pleasant Dreams" Wreaths of hairwork
seeds, worsted and sea moss attract the eyes Of
enVlous emulators. Three ottomons among
others were especially noticeable for the excel
lence OF the work, all in worsted, the largest
and most noticeable of all being from the
hands of Mrs. S. II. Jumper. Miss Mary A.
Thompson also exhibits a lovely bit of work
in worsted upon an ottoman cover near by. f.

A skeleton-leaf wreath, and one of feathers,
exquisitely made by unknown hands, attracts
explanations of surprise and delight. Mrs.
Mary EDDY and Mrs. Fl. G. Thomas have two
lovely floral pyramids in wax. In waxxork,
the exhibit made by Miss Minnie A. Mcneil
surpasses anything of the kind ever exhibited
in the State. First among this lady's skillful
work We noticed cake basket filled to over
flowing with cake of every kind, so real and
delicious in appearance that one is tempted to
believe that it must, indeed. be the product of
the cook rather than the worker in wax. Con-
fectlons OF every kind surround the base of the
basket, and many child's mouth waters
they look at the supposed sweets. A full
blown lily, next then pyramid of fruit
pears, apples, grapes, plums, trawberries, raj
sins, figs, crabs, lemons. oranges, bananas,
melons, etc. Next, collection of vegetables
beans, peas cucumbers, potatoes, beets, corn,
tomatoes, carrots, etc. Then q lovely floral
pyramid, last upon the list, seems fairly to
load the air with perfume, true to life are
they. Il know that's candy; hello! here's
potato she put in there; that amt wax, that's
natural, and such like expressions
attest this lady's remarkable skill; well done,
Miss Minnie. Then the walls laden with the
prodacts of the skillful brush
keep peoples necks on the up
ward crane continually, and one il constantly
stepping over some one else, and no one seems
to notice the jostling, so interested are all. AS
space permits, we shall endeavor to notice as
much of this wonderful display as possible
anese curiosities in fine position for exhibition
and the strange articles are surveyed with won
der by the thousands. Needlework quilts
lace, ETC., occupy the center Of the room.
while photographs, specimens of writing, etc..
hang about the walls.
