White, rector of an Episcopal church in Memphis, called
on the provost-marshal to inquire whether it would be con-

officer ; " you have been praying for him for two years, and
have not done us much harm ; and I don't know but that
you might as well keep at it."

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The Era states that
Mr. Edmund Falconer has purchased from Mr. E. T. Smith
the remainder of his lease (six years) of Drury-lane Theatre, '
and will enter upon the direction of that establishment at
the close o 1 -"Sir, Boucicault's sub-tenancy in December.
" The new lessee will take with him the principal members
of his present Lyceum company, and will commence at
Christmas, for which he is now making extensive arrange-
ments. The new lessee of the Lyceum, Mr. Fechter, will
thus be enabled to open that theatre somewhat earlier than
was anticipated. It is understood that at Easter some of
the recent improvements made by French machinists will
be introduced, to give increased effect to the scenic and me-
chanical illusions. Amongst the members of Mr. Fechter'e
company we hear of Mr. Phelps, Mr. Walter Montgomery,
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mathews, Mr. Widdicomb, and Miss
Kate Terry being already engaged. One of the earliest
features of the new management will be a Shakererian
revival,
