GREAT SHAKsPEAREAN NIGHT AT THE
New MEMPHIS THEATRE-MIss BLANCHE
DEBAR-This will be an evening of I'M
common spendor at the New Memphis
Theatre. One of Shakspeare's best
comedies will be placed on the boards,
and one of the first luminaries in the
armament of stars will make her first
bow to a Memphis audience. Every one
who misses such a rare treat will regret
it. The Manager is determined to do his
duty, and we believe the public will do
theirs so between the two the dress
circle and parquette are likely TO sparkle
with delighted and fashionable crowds. 1t
is long time since we saw As You Like
II, and feel like many others an anxiety to
witness its revival Perhaps no play
written by the great bard ever ELECTED so
much criticism, in consequence Of the
many curious associations which cluster
aboutit. Suggested by Queen Elizabeth,
it was long favorite Of court circles,
and is still admired for its many passages
of superb wit and sentiment Miss
Blanche DeBar appears as the fair
" Rosalind, and from what we learn of
her style of acting, presume she will sus-
tain the part to perfection. Wheeiock
plays Jacques" Howard Louis" and
flanagan "0liver." The other chsrac-
tiers are well cast, and the comedy is
bound to be a great success.

SELLING LIQUOR on SUNDAY;s.There
was one gentleman in the Police Court
this morning for the so-called offense of
selling spirits on Sunday. No positive
proof was elected, and he was conse-
quently discharged We think the law
in this matter is q humbug, and ought to
be repealed. Ifs man desires to indulge,
he should have the right to do so any
time he plsases. The blue code" does
not suit the people of this cline, and the
less Legislators and officers border upon
it the better.

FIREs.-The Fire King came to town
on Saturday, and on Sunday morning
his majesty blazed away in destructive
grandeur. About four o'clock he ap-
peared on the west side of Main, near
Poplar, where he danced in the windows
and few through the roofs Of five little
stores with agility Poor Gross 4 Bro,
Alexander McCulloch, S. Keifer, Kahn
l. Bro. and Dan Spohr were wonderfully
astonished on finding all their goods
consumed by the King. Clothing, boots
and shoes, harness, furniture and glass
ware were crisped and melted in such
short time as to give the Water Kings
no power of saving anything, although
they worked like tars at the pumps For
three hours the Scorcher held sway, when
he gradually succumbed to the Nozzle
Men. These houses were the property
of Mr.. Ernest Levy, who had them fully
insured; so he loses nothing by the
vagaries of the Fire King. The same
cannot be said of all the parties who oc-
cupied the stores, some of them losing
their complete stocks without insurance.
After taking turn around the cor
ner and cutting up shines" in the house
of Mrs Butts, on Poplar street, his red
headed Excellency took q trip to the
corner of Union and Main and attacked
the house of j. Alexander Il Co., having
entered through a broken fue in the
third story. He came near scorching
julius Kuhn and Joe Wolf, who we're
asleep in the premises. They may at
tribute their present existence to the
Water Brigade, which poured several
streams into their ears, and made them
realize their danger. Mr. Alexsnder's
stock of goods was greatly damaged by
water; so was that Of Mr.. Newmark.
The King left portion of the building
standing as monument of his sport.
The loss is estimated at five thousand
dollars, and is said to be covered by in
surance.
These fires are attributed to incendia-
ries but the truth is that Carelessness
allows the Fire King to enter through
broken chimneys and cracked aues too
often, being too lazy to have them re-
paired before his red-headed nobleness
scorches his friends out of bed.

Shows the lights and the shades

Vast, medium and small.
Then laugh while you can.
And smile when you please
Though time may be long,
Life's rather short
Somewhat slender and airy,
Like the loyal vagary
OF this goodly city,"
"Very true" said the Taller
But sure it's pity
That such loyal people
Should lie all alone
In the shade of oblivion.
Like the bell Of steeple,
While many rogue
And rough Spectator
Struts forward to fame"
LAY. ay," cried Old Nick;
but now it's the vogue
To blaIen the name
OF every new seeker
OF lofty position
Before the dear people
As an eloquent speaker,
A gallant young Hector,
A champion of justice,
The pride Of the bar,
A flower Of genius
As brilliant us Venus,
The very pure nectar
Of manlincss. tmerits
Apollo might boast of
And gentle copdoler
In every poor strife
Twixt lovers and lasses,
Who see through the glasses
Young Cupid wore
When he tript withlthe Maids
In bowers elysian.
Or damsels Of Erin
On turf-covered floor,
Although he inherits
The little soft vices
Which gave to the life
OF renegades hoary
The epithst Tory"
'iPhew I" cried the Taller.
And this is the glory
OF the new Freedom Shrieker,
With very long fob
And conscience span.
I'm astray very much
If it's not the old job
of turning tailor
Into man;
For sure he's al lazy
And perhaps quite as crazy
As the old Puritan"
"And little more Shiny"
Said Old Nick with grin.
Hes always like Puck.
At tho door peeping in;
Forever intruding
On other mems toes
Whether out in the hall,
Where he drinks lager-beer;
Or down in the stall.
Where he eats sour-krout,
And oysters. and salad.
And excellent cheer;
Or in the aisle of the church.
Where he's very devout;
Or down at the playhouse,
Whore he's fancy and risky.
And often goes out
To mellow his mouth
With wee drop Of whiskey;
Or in the old oaken seat.
Where he sits legislating
The rights Of the poor
And his own special purse;
Or in council debating
On mudsills and mules
Wherever he goes
He's pestilent curse,
Like the yultures of shoddy.
Who dine on all fools
Like heifers on hay.
BE wise then, dear Taller,
And come hence away
Where all men are honest;
Where Public Precision
Tipples his toddy,
And laughs in derision
At the gulls Of the Gay.
When the gods give Us gifts.
Let US always he gay"
The Taller fell fat
With alright on the roof.
When Morning chased Night
The rounds of the globe
He was found spirit-proof,
Wrapped up in robe
That seemed rather "tiEht"
With hue on his nose
Like faded red rose,
And the above bender poIne
In the crown Of his hat.
