The opening Of the art department Of
the Southern Music House yesterday and
Tuesday was a brilliant success. An
exhibition Of art works of such excellence
as those embraced in the large and varied
collection was not looked FOR by the pub
lie, and 1t was surprised.
The entire establishment was turned
into an art gallery. A number OF works
OF greater value than those usually seen
in art rooms we're loaned for exhibition,
and few OF them will be offered for sale.
In addition TO this collection Manager
Bates invited some of Savannah's artists
to place on exhibition specimens Of their
work. Several did 50 and the greatest in
terest was taken In this feature of the eX-
hibiuOn. 1t is manifesLly impossible to
give in one article any adequate idea Of the
collection. A description OF a small part OF
it would Ill column OF the NEWS and then
the half would not be written. A reference
to the productions of some OF the home
artists will be made at a future time
The public would appreciate the favor if
the management OF the Southern Music
House would retain, If possible, its art
collection In its present shape the rest OF
the week, or for day or two longer at
least until it has had a fuller opportunity
to see it. Ii Is worth travelling a long
distance TO see.

nashville wants the National Enoamp-
ment Next Year.
In few days Mr.. A. e. Sholes viii 60
to Nashville to work up movement tor
holding the national encampment Of the
G.. A. II. at that city in 1887. Mr.. Sholes
has just returned from Atlanta, where
the encampment of the Department OF
Tennessee and Georgia was held. A
strong feeling was expressed, he said, in
favor Of holding the encampment in the
South next year. Nashville extended an
invitation to the encampment three years
ago at Denver. Then there were but $50
members in this department. In 1884,
when the national encampment WAS held
at Minneapolis, the invitation was re-
newed. This department then numbered
500 members. At least p, 900 ex- Union
soldiers we're at that encampment. Last
year 40, Geo old soldiers were said to be at
Portland, Ne, and s. 600 visitors were in
the city for four days. Tais year the en-
campment will be held at san Francisco,
in August.
1t is estimated that il the encampment
is held at Nashville it will draw 10000
strangers to the city who, during their
stay, will spend $4,000 600. II Nashville
still wants the eneampment, aRd can and
will entertain the soldiers ana visitors,
Mr.. ShOles thinks that the invitation will
undoubtedly be accepted. The delegates
to the San Francisco encampment from
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
Delaware and New Jersey have been in
structed TO vote for Nashville. and several
other States are known to be in favor OF
coming South.

BIGAMIsTs JAILED.
Two Wives Claim WIN. Brown as Hus-
band in a Magistrates Court.

VIM. Brown was committed to jail by
Magistrate Molina yesterday for being too
much married. Browns case illustrated
the idea, which is very common among
the colored people, that an agreement
between married couple TO separate is
equivalent to a divorce in the courts.
The accused and his first wife, Martha,
were married in March, 1881. After two
or three years. separation they mutually
agreed to relinquish all claims each upon
the other, and to absOlYe all relations
created by the marriage contract. Each
reserved the right to re-marry.
-Four months ago julia Butler became
MRS. Brown No. >. When No. and No. =
met on the streets the latter rather cut
the ex-Mrs. Brown, and, as No. thought,
assumed too naughty an air. NO.
brought the matter TO the attention Of
Ine Justice, and a warrant was issued
Tor Brown and Julia Butler, charging them
with oigamy. A few weeks ago Brown
was arrested by cOlored constable, bnt
he slipped away from the constable and
kept out of the officers way until Tues
day night, when he was arrested by Po-
!lceman Bender. In the Magistrates
court Brown was confronted with two
marriage certificates, both genuine. BY
way Of defense he submitted 20 the JUS
tlce as a legal proposition that the agree
ment between himself and No. | rendered
null and void their marriage. Brewn in
sisted that he had presidents in support
OF his proposition, but he was committed
TO Jail, nevertheless No. stated that
Brown told her that his first vile was
dead, but others testified that the Butler
woman was informed before her marriage
that NO. was still alive. No. was also
sent TO Jail.
