BIRMrNoHAM, April 22.-The opening
of the permanent Exposition and military
display to-day was an occasion of entire
satisfaction 10 all concerned. The charac-
ter of exhibits rather surprised most
visitors, as they had not been en-
couraged to expect m 1ch. The attendance,
though not so large as it would have been
with better weather, was sufficient to fill
the building and approaches. The ap-
pearance made by the troops was very
fine, nine companies of infantry and one
of artillery, all belonging to the Second

THE communication of "Jobber" is in
very bad taste and worse spirit. The
APPEAL did not attempt to defend the law
imposing tax upon drummers. 1t dis
tinctly stated that it was opposed TO all
taxes upon merchandising aud trade, but
so long as any was collected the drummer
from abroad should pay as well as our
own merchants and for the same
reasons. The plea of "Jobber" that
merchants who send drummers to Mem
phis pay license in the cities where they
are located viii not hold good, because
such payments do not benefit Memphis.
Life and fire insurance companies have
TO pay State, county and city licenses in
every State, county and city where
they do business, and in msny
or most of them have to make
deposit of bonds besides. This
is much severer than anything demanded
of drummers, and yet it is, save the bond
clause, borne with uncomplainingly so far
as we know. AS TO the yellow-fever
help, Memphis since 1S7S-79 has on sew
eral occasions proven her gratitude by
generous subscriptions 10 the sufferers by
flood, fire and tempest in the West and
Northwest as well as South, and in that
proposes not to cancel the debt-that she
can never do-bu. TO certify to her appre-
citation of the kindness OF the people of
the world during the unparalleled cpl
demic of 1873. II she were & cancel
taxes to repay the generosity of the yellow
fever times. Memphis would not have
wherewithal to pay the police and firemen,
light the streets and pave or repair them.

THE Mozart Society, like all public bod
les, is open TO criticism, and sometimes
deserves it. Its conductor and directors
and its active members are enthusiastic in
the performance of their duties, aud are
anxious to deserve public approval. In
this they sometimes fail, but it must not
therefore be concluded that they are fall
ing behind, that they are not progressing
in the important work they have under
taken. The failure of the concert given
last Friday night was not due to any want
of ability or efficiency on the part of Mr..
Downs, or any want of preparation by the
chorus he has drilled so well. The stage
of the Theater was not suitable for so large
body of singers, and there we're some
faults of management, all of which
conspired to produce a little con-
fusion and some dissatisfaction. But
that it is not likely to occur again. Every
mistake to sensible people becomes a
profitable lesson, and We are much mis-.
taken in the material Of the Mozart Soci-
ETY. if The criticism to which the last con-
cert was subjected will not prove an addi.
tional incentive to push them on in their
work sc that they may realize to them
selves as well as for the public the bright
expectations excited by the coming Music
Festival with Nilsson, Materna, Scaria and
Winkelman aud the Thomas orchestra.

low price of 25 cents per copy. The
writings of this author occupy such a

people of all ages. "Opening of a

thrilling romance, but many pure
and chaste teachings which will tend
to elevate the mind of the reader.

Mr.. Richmond Hasten has been in

good morals follow intelligence, and
intelligence dispels ignorance and

nursery of the church, that same old
church, which has withstood the mu-
tations of time from Abraham down
to the present, period of about $500
years, judging frons (Gen. 1870.
BY proper interest taken by the
older ones, of this and other commu-
mites, there need be no such thing as
failure.
Fathers are we going to let these
golded opportunities pass, and neglect
to assemble ourselves together in
Sunday school capacity for the pur-
pose of training the little ones of this
vicinity for usefulness in life? We
do hope you win manifest an interest
in this noble work yourselves. By
SO doing, you will set an example
which your children will follow and
thus be finally brought into the fold.
