D.-Reconstructio in
business these days is quite refreshing,
and when such men as W. L. Stewart
go back to their first love it is deserving
of more than a passing notice. He has
been engaged in the cotton business for
upwards Of sixteen years and still sticks
10 it. His brother, D. L. Stewart, who
has worthily held the position of clerk
of the circuit court FOR the past ten years,
and during that time enjoyed the conf
deuce Of the people, is associated with
him. Their card viii be seen in this
mornings issue. w. L. Stewart & Bro.
are a strong team.
THE Observation-Disclosures the
inclemency Of the weather last night,
the New Memphis theater on the occa-
sion Of Manager Thomps1n's benefit,
was crowded with a fashionable and APP
preciative audience. HiShaUogds, or the
Fearing Of the Green, was produced in
asplendid manner, and each actor seemed
to excel himself for the managers bene-
fit. The mysterious Pilgrims were ont
in full force in their masks and curious
costumes, making them a noticeable fea
ture Of the evening. The whole thing
a success, just what Mr.. Thompson's
most ardentadmirers would have wished.
Tonight Mike the Miner, or The Strike,
will be presented.
CRIMINAL CoURT.-The case Of Geo.
r. Wade, charged with obtaining a lot Of

that he did not sufficiently understand
the English language 10 qualify him to
In answer to interrogatOries be
stated that he spoke the Irish language,

wears. He was excused. After a full

a degree that made it impossible TO serve,
and he was discharged i'm consequence.
The juryman being discharged, after
being sworn, it was decided that the
remaining eleven jurors must be dis
charged also and r~s-empanneled. A
question arose as TO whether such . pro-
ceeding entitled the defendant to his
number OF challenges, but the
defense not urging the point, no decision
was made upon il.
