New MEMPHIS THEATRE-THE FLOR
ENCEs. -The stage of the New Memphis
continues to be graced by those talented
artists, Mr.. and Mrs w. j. Florence.
Tonight commences the fourth week of
their brilliant engagement-an engage
ment which has drawn to the theatre
nightly large audiences of our best cit'-
zens. 1t seems that our theatre-goers
have become great admirers of Irish
dramas; but we do not know whether
it is the pieces they play or the players
themselves for which the people show
such decided preference; certain it is,
however, that the greatest tragedian IN
the land could not have succeeded better
than the Florences. We believe people
are becoming tired of tragedies, and do
not like to go home feeling gloomy over
the ill-fortune of the hero who gets him
self killed about love or some other bone
of contention. After days attention
to businesses, it seems, good hearty
laugh, and few hours amusement at
the comical acts and funny sayings Of
such man as Mr.. Florence please every
one much better than heavy tragedies.
And Mrs. Florence-how her pretty
songs, elegant dances and eccentric
Yankee characters amuse the ladies and
cause the gentlemen to applaud. Every
song is encored, and every character she
assumes is rendered in the most artistic
style, and applauded accordingly. These
stars have not yet appeared in any piece
which they failed to do justice. The
Florences are not the only popular per-
sons at the New Memphis: Mr.. Garden,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hicks and Mr.. and Mrs
flanagan are great favorites, and justly
so, for few stock companies can boast OF
more worthy members. Tonight we are
to have the great sensational play Of
hsharogue; or, Wearing Of the Green,
with Mr. Florence as Brian Mcguire,
Mrs. Florence as "Biddy mahone,' Mr.
Hicks as "Ulrick Burke" and Mrs. Lam
agan as kate Dryer" This is the
first appearance of this great drama in
Memphis, and everybody, particularly
the Fenians, will want to see it.

JOHNSON CLUB-A preliminary meet
ing was held at Exchange Building on
Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of
forming a johnson Club. Judge NJ. l..
Perkins was called to the chair, when it
was moved and seconded that all persons
present favorable to this movement sign
their names. Seventy-eight of our best
citizens Endorsed the measure. A COM
mittee was then appointed to draft and
report at the next meeting constitution
and code of bylaws for the government
of the Club John Martin, L. j. Dupree,
John Heart, H. X Bectal and W, o.
Lohand form the committee Messrs. b.
d. Nabers, John Park and J. I. Cart
wright were appointed as temporary
executive committee, to secure perma-
uent quarters for the Club and to report
at the next meetisg. The meeting then
adjourned to meet again at four o'clock
on next Wednesday evening. This is as
il should be, and We are glad our people
have at last awakened to their duty.
The noble efforts of the President should
receive the encouragement and hearty
cooperation Of every true and loyal man
who loves the Union and the Constitu-
ton. The Radicals are unit, and the
Conservatives must have such an organ
ization if they desire to muster their
forces with any degree of success. 1t is
hoped that not only large number of
our citizens, but all who stand by Andrew
johnson in the present crisis, will be
present on next "Wednesday afternoon.

Poor fellow, he could not find his way

laid himself down on the sidewalk, and

VAGRANTs.-There are any number of

whose only employment is to prey upon

and robbers until the Migrants are first
dispersed. A vagrant is only the first
step towards thieving, and the sooner one
Of them is put to work the better for that
man and the community at large. We
have vagrant law here, and let the po-
lice enforce it. The times are such that
nc yagrant should be permitted to remain
at large Put the jail-birds where they
belong and we will not hear of so many
acts of petty larceny as are now being
