A DIsoRDERLY NEGRO 1t seems that
some of the negroes have not been able
to improve by the lesson taught them a
few days ago-that they must obey the
laws, for yesterday an African named
Oscar Simms amused himself by brick
batting lady who was passing on the
street. We could not learn the origin of
his disgracefnl conduct, but commenced
as it may, we cannot censure man
enough who becomes barbarian and
throws missiles of any kind at a lady
When the whole matter is siired We will
venture to say that the negro commenced
by insulting the lady, and finished by
throwing bricks at her Officer Brady
arrested Simms and took him 90 the
station-house, where he put up a forfeit
Of twenty-five dollars and started home
ward Even il he is fined the whole
amount of his forfeit, We consider it
rather cheap amusement

STRANGE PROCEEDINGS. Not long ago
rather a strange proceeding took place
on the south side of Court Square that
created quite sensation. Two men
were seen in an animated conversation
as though they were about to enter into
regular pitched battle Quite crowd
commenced gathering around to watch
the proceedings. At length both parties
commenced to take off their coats. One
Of the men quietly hung his coat on the
iron railing, and the other, after looking
around for better place, did likewise.
The spectators were on the qui vire for
set-to. One man proposed TO send for
the police, as he did not believe in such
disgraceful affairs taking place in the
heart Of the city. While all these opin-
ions we're being exchanged, the original
parties began TO take Cd their vests.
They did not however, as every one ex-
pected, roll up their sleeves, for itturned
out that they were only sscaPPiHg cesfs,
and that the animated conversation had
been on nothing but that subject. The
parties who gathered around to see the
fight felt pretty badly sold, and laughed
their disappointment out to their hesr,s'
content over several or more "juleps

W. c. THOMPSON. ESQ. This gentle
man, who has conducted the manage
ment of our theatre in manner that has
given satisfaction to the most fastidious,
takes benefit tomorrow evening. He
took charge of the theatre at time when
theatricals had run down in our city to
the lowest ebb, but by his skill, ability
and untiring energy he has placed the
drama in our city at the very head OF
the ladder He has given proof of what
an able manager can do Never since
we have had theatre in Memphis has
the profession stood as high among the
mas ,es as it has when Manager Thomp-
son was at the head of affairs. He has
not only brought to our city ladies and
gentlemen Of the highest professional
character, but Of talent and histrionic
ability not to be surpassed by any com
pany in America Equally successful
has he been in the musical department.
The fact is, his name is tower of
strength that the best dramatic talent of
the country feels confidence in, and,
consequently, are willing to trust their
fortunes to his care Manager Thompson
has been tested, and he has always been
found to be "the right man in the right
place" Always willing to pay the best
salaries if the talent is adequate to the
price AS gentleman, heis well-known
as heightened. whole-souled and chivalric
TO fault; as manager, he is unsur-
passed The high character ofthe amuse-
ment he has brought to Memphis be-
speaks for him tomorrow evening one of
the largest houses of the season. 1t is
the duty of the admirers of the legiti-
mate drama to pay him such a compli-
ment on the occasion of his benefit as
will plainly show him that his efforts in
giving us the drama pure and unadulter-
ated are appreciated. If we have thea
tire in Memphis that can boast of talent
and high bearirg, it is due to the efforts
Of Manager Thompson, who has at all
times discarded those people who are
not of that order. Give him bumper
then, that he may know We fully appre-
ciate his efforts.

DARING NEGRO OUTRAGE. While a
young gentleman named Sydney Dare
was returning home from visit out on
the Pidgeon Roost road, last night be-
tween nine and ten o'clock, he met two
negroes in the vicinity of the bridge
crossing over the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad When he first saw them
he felt something was wrong, bet he
started and walked boldly on, having to
pass between them He had just gone by
whes, without word of warning, the
negroes fred on him from both sides,
severely wounding him in both legs. Mr..
Dare drew his pistol and fired once,
when the Africans beat hasly retreat.
The firing brought people from the Depot
and Mr.. Dare was carried home The
wounds, we understand, are not danger
GUS, but very painful 1t is just such
outrages as these that have created the
bad blood which helped to foment the
late riots, and it is plainly TO be seen
that negroes will not have law and order
beat into their heads until some exam
pie is made of them by the authorities
Let them once understand they must
obey the laws, and all this rancor will
settle down into peace and quiet.
