A RUMoe.-A rumor has been in cir
culation for the past few days that Gen.
Robert e. Lee would soon pay visit to
Memphis, to be present at the nuptials
of some distinguished parties who are
to get married We do not know how
true this may be, but we are sure that
nowhere in the country wonld the distin-
guished and cherished old hero get a
heartier or more wholesouled welcome
than from the people of Memphis. In
this connection we will mention that we
are informed from reliable authority that
the rumors that Gen. Lee was soon to
resign the Presidency Of Washington
College at Lexington, Va, are unfounded.
General Lee is, through marriage, one of
the nearest living relatives of the Father
of our country, who founded that institu-
ton, and is pledged, on that account, to
remain with it, and to do all in his power
for its complete success, which 1t cannot
fail of, under his eminent guiding spirit

THEArRIcAL.-"Kat Mavourneen"
was presented last night at the New
Memphis Theatre, to the delight of a
good audience. Every character in the
play was properly understood and per-
formed; and the stage machinery added
greatly to the beauty and general effects
OF this very excellent drama. Mr.. Flor
ence, as Terrence O'More, amused the
audience considerably during the first
act; but when he appeared as the poor
broken.hearted lover, he elected their
sympathies, and almost drew tears from
some of the most sympathetic. Mrs.
Florence made very nice young girl OF
Kathleen O'Connor, and was so much
applauded for her song of Barney
0Hee," that she had to sing it second
time. Mr. McWade was warmly greeted
on his appearance after several weeks
absence from the stage. Messrs. Garden
and Hicks displayed their ability as
Black Rough and Bernard Cavanagh
Tonight will be the last chance to see
Kathleen Mavourneen during the stay
of the Florences, and we would advise all
to secure seats early as there will be
rush.
