SAN COwEIL's ENTERTANWENT.-M SAN COWELL
gives his first entertainment at Douglass Hall to-
night. The following from the Louisville Courier
of the 10Th viii give the reader some idea of the
character of these entertainments:
A NIGHr WITH SAM COwEII--The freshest novelty
in the amusement line in the country just now, de-
lighted auditory at the Masonic Temple last night
will bear testimony with US is the comic drawing
room sorees of the irresstibly humorous vocal
comedian Sam COwell Nobody can realize the real
significance of a comic song until they nave heard
this remarkable genius; and, having heard him, we
defy anybody to overcome the disposition to laugh
for days afterthe comedian has Inflated his facial
organs. We shall some day endeavOr to analyZe the
charm by which this great comic vocalist despou-
cay controls his audience, contentng ourselves now
with mere reference TO the combination Of intel
lectua, dramatic and vocal qualifications which Mr..
Cowell evidently possesses to an extent seldom
vOuchCafed to the artist and which constitute the
principal lever BY which he moves his audience so
marvelOusly.
His songs are all little dramas, all complete pic
lures, and all thrngly acted as well exqisitely
sung. Mr.. Coweiis powers Of rapid transition from
subject % another of entirely opposite natures
were strikingly evnCed in the ridiCuOusy dOlefuL
legend of "AlonzO the Brave and the Fair ImOgene'
the boister0usly appauded tumble Of Five Hun
dred Reasons against Matrmony,' Snd the laugh
able arduOus career of THE Cork Leg each in
strong contrast with the other and vet following
each other with such rapidity that Mr. COwel could
scarcely have had time to compose his features for
the new muscles TO be brought INTO the play.
Mrs Hicks sings her Scotch Ballads Charmngly,
and Mr. Hicks is inimitabe upon the conceruna, and
altogether the whole affair was a marked success,
with every indication that Mr.. Sam Cowell will
be more popular in America than ever in England

gentleman 10 meet him in Arkansas for belligerent
purposes. Of course SIMMONS paid no attention to
the challenge. In the course Of an hour or two,
another challenge Of quite torpedo purport was
received by the unfortunate SIMMONS from BLOOM
This like the first was unanswered; but BLOOM, de-
termned to have Satisfaction" sent the third cha.-
lsnge, denouncing SIMMONS as a coward, and using
divers other polite explosives, which shared the
same fate az the others. Running away with a
bride and then challenging the injured husband be-
caase he doesn't like It. is the queerest application
of the "code" we ever heard
The Enquirer says it is rumored that SIMMONS who
has taken his erring wife to his home in Mississippi,
will shortly return to Memphic, when "honOra-
BILE adjustment of the affair will be had. 1t is pre-
sumed that honorable adjustment viii be TO shoot
