EAST LYYNE.-Last evening this beau
tiful drama was performed at the New
Memphis Theatre in manner highly
pleasing to large and discriminating
audience. Miss Thompson, as Lady
Isabel" was very good; as " Madame
Vine, her acting was quite impressive
and affecting. Lewiston was not a
character we'll suited to Mr.. Wheelock,
yet his personation was very fair one I;
Mr.. Hubbard as Archibald Carlyle"
acted in his usual correct way. This
gentleman is becoming great favorite
with the frequenters of the New Mem
phis, for he is a careful, pains-taking and
talented actor. Arrah ma Pogue will be
brought out this evening. This drama
gives nearly all the members of the com
pany an opportunity of pleasing their
friends. Miss Thompson will personate
the fair " Arrah, and Mr.. Wheelock will
make a very interesting character of
Shaun. Tomorrow evening Miss
Charlotte Thompson takes her farewell
benefit, for which occasion great
amount of professional talent has been
volunteered. This lady is immensely
popular, and her benefit will undoubtedly
draw together one of the largest and
most elegant audiences of the season.
She deserves every compliment and mark
of respect which is rendered her by the
admirers of theatrical talent and lady

The DRuG BUSINESS There is no
business or branch of trade in which
skill, knowledge or enterprise are more
essential than in the drug business; nor
is there any branch Of human industry
in which more charlatanism and
imposture prevail. 1t is, there
fore, to the interest of the pub
lie carefully to discriminate between
the true and the false druggist This
can easily be done by simple, pracii-
cal application of that rule which is as
true in matters of business as morals,
" by their fruits Tor results) We shall
know them" Judged by this rule,
Helmbold is true Druggist, and those
well-known medicines known as Helm.
holds Preparations, are legitimate rem
edies. These latter have been before the
public prominently for many years, and
have been almost universally successful !;
the extract of Buchu especially has Sc
cured the public confidence. For its ap.
propriate diseases it is without a rival.
The certificates to its usefulness embrace
many thousands of names; but the fact
that, after the trial of so many years,
Helmbold's Preparations are in as great
demand as ever, or even greater, is the
best possible proof of their legitimate
merit. The principal Depot for their sale
is at Helmbold's new store, next the Met
