THE BuIsLAY FAMILY.-The first ap-
pearance of the celebrated Buislay
family, last evening, at Greenlaw
Opera House, was a marked success,
on the part Of the performers. On ae-
count Of the weather and bad condition
Of the streets, IS well as the inability Of
the company to appear on Tuesday,
according 10 advertisement, the attend
anee was rather limited. We predict,
however, for this troupe, a much larger
patronage when they are better known
to our citizens. The opening tableau,
the watchers), as well as each suisse
quent one, was well executed, and
elected much applause. We cannot re-
frain from praiaing the excellent gym
nastic performance in the "Iearian
Games,'' Of Mons. Buislay and the Ire
FAINT joaquin, who were repeatedly ap
plauded during their acting. The trapeze
and horizontal bar, the ballet and the
concluding pantomime all prove the
company good artists, and worthy Of
success. The great feature of the even
ing, however, was the spiral noun
tain," by Mons. Auguste Buislay, to
which we have heretofore referred. All
the expectations of the audience were
fully realized in this remarkable feat;
and as Mons. B., in his difficult ascent,
stood safely at the top Of the mount, the
the house resounded with greetings of
establishment and pleasure. The descent
on the treacherous globe was watched
with breathless anxiety, only to give
place to a renewal of the applause as the
performer rolled on the ball behind the
scenes. The programme is varied every
evening, and we assure the public Of a
treat each evening.
CoNFIDENCE.-A poer, innocent look
ing darkey arrived here yesterday on
his way to North Carolina. On the
Ievee be met some American citizens Of
African descent, three in number, one Of
whom got the old mans money for the
purpose Of buying the necessary ticket.
When We saw the poor unfortunate last
evening, he was looking for dat black
man what belongs to de railroad going
to Carolina. The bogus ticket fellow of
course is keeping dark.
BEHIND TIME.-The trains on the
Memphis and Ohio and Memphis and
Charleston railroads were very much
behind time yesterday. The trains
which should have arrived here early in
the evening will not put in an appear
I ance until this morning. There is a
heavy landslide on the former near
Humboldt. The cause OF delay on the
latter we did not learn.
AccDENT.-Esrly yesterday morning,
during the heavy rain, a man named
Jerry Cronan, who lives out on the Her
nando road, while crossing Beal street,
near Second, stumbled and fell, striking
against a stone in the crossing, disloca-
ting his shoulder.

ness Of public import transacted yester-
day. The grand jury returned nine bills
Of Indictment. The scira Jacia docket
