THE MARBLE HEART THE play of
the Marble Heart, or the ScUlptor's
Dream, was produced at the New Mem
phis Thester last night to fair audience.
The prologue, the Students dream, was
well put on the stage, and endorsed the
scenic artist aud master mschinist as
perfect in their art. Miss Boyd did not
seem at home In the character Of marie"
The part seems too young for her; how
ever, in her most simple speeches, she did
not fail to elicit applause. Mrs. Allen
played "Marco" rather acceptsbly, but
seemed to be at a loss occasionally. The
parting scene with " Marco, - 10 the third
act was slightly overdone. The Raphael
Duchatlet" OF Mr.. Frank Roche
was excellent, and his every APP
pearsnce was greeted with applause.
Mr.. EIlerton produced a good impression
in the "Viscount." MI. France done
the editor" very well, but was quite
over dressed to suit the bOhemiaHs Of
Memphis. Such styles might have done
for "a, but just now none but the river
locals can afford "sich." Miss Fanny
Pierson, who played /" CIementine, " done
it well. She has already become popular
with our people. The minor characters
were well sustained. Tonight, Miss Belle
Boyd will appear as the Countess, " in
the beautiful play of The Serf. We un-
derstand hat on Friday a grand compli-
mentary benefit will be rendered to Miss
Boyd by some of our most prominent
bankers and citizens.

LETTER FROM OUR SPECIAL
CORRESPONDENT.
on BoAED THE ADAM JACOBS, !

On BOARD THE ADAM JAooBs,l
oTF cAIRo, September n. :
So far nothing has occurred to mar the
pleasure Of our journey, barring the fact
that owing 10 a dense fog we were com
PEELED to tie up for five hours last night
of the classic port Of 0sceola, but owing
TO the excitement attending our depart
ure, and having tripped the flight fan
tastic until the "wee smR hours," and
then sought our couches, we were in
happy ignorance of it, until we were
summoned to breakfast this morning:
but the prospect of having 10 spend
another day on the boat has not DAMP
ened our spirits in the least, as our friend
Of the Cuisine, John Smith, has an excel
lent larder, and knows how to serve it
up, whilst "By. " and the genial Mas
son eason II with smiles and jests. But
whilst Anthony Is tuning his violin, the
champagne cOrks are flying and toasts
to those we left behind" and "to
those we expect to meet" are
being drank, let me explain to
your readers who and what our party
Ia. Well, IL is composed as follows: +. A.
Tyler, (of the Ledger, and lady, Misses
Lizzie Nelson, Lou and Irene Rayner,
Corinne Cleaves, Lou Hullum, Lucy
McClink, Mittie Wicks, Josie Gwynn,
Ella McCOnnico, Mary f. Mitchell, Belle

Tennessee railroad, J. w. Rockwell,
Nashville and Decatur railroad, w. c.
Mcclure, J. A. Sinsigo, RObt. L. Ham
mock, and Capt. Jas. W. Croker, who
are on an expedition, the objective point
OF which is Niagara Falls, and should
they excel in altitude some Of the water
falls we haven the company, We shall be
amply repaid for journey. The party
is c~haperoned by MIR. Barnes, but at pres
sent we are the guests Of Z. B.
Byington, Esq, the well-known general
passenger agent Of the " old reliable st.
Louis packet company, who, together
with Capt. Crane and Mr.. WATSON, have
left nothing undone TO render our trip up
the " big muddy" as agreeable as it pos
sibly could be, and so far their efforts
have been crowned with marked success.
We expect to reach st. Louis early
Sunday morning, and to join a large
party which leaves there that W.
ming for Niagara via. the Alton and Chi
cage road, stopping over Monday at the
latter city to see the sights, during which
time your reporter hopes to get an insight
into the ways by which the qUid HUacs
OF that city get up such stunning senss-
ton items every day in the week and
from that city you may expect to hear
from me again.
1 shall not bore you with a description
Of our trio so far, as the Father of Waters
st the present low stage presents any
thing but an inviting view. And as the
dancers are Willing the happy hours
away" PHI bring this TO q close.

HOWARD ASSOCIATION.

Some Of OH most enterPrising and
philosophical young men have formed
a Howard Association, for the purpose Of
providing for proper attention to the sick
in case Of epidemic. Forewarned is force
armed. We trust that our moneyed
men will not be backward in sustaining
them with such funds a they may need,
to carry but their benevolent and chari-
table enterprise. Our most intelligent
physicians do not anticipate any such
infection, as the season is nov too far
advanced TO justify any calculation Of
that sort. But It is right to prepare for
the worst, and not to be taken unswsres.
Indeed it would be wise to have this
society organized as a permanent insti-
tuition, so hat IN case offuture epldemics
we may have an abundance Of good
nursing and attention to the sick. It is
now in the right hands, and we ask that
the citizens will rally around the young
gentlemen who have insugurated the
measure. Our friend, r. ". AINsLIE,
is President of the Association, and in
his Presidency our citizens have the
guarantee ofeaergetic management. The
Association will meet at the editorial
Of the APPEAL tonight at eight
when those who desire to enter
into this charitable work are invited to
be present.

THE LEE BLOCK.-Who has not heard
Of the r. E. Lee block, on Union street
We suppose every man, woman and
child in Memphis has heard of it and
knows its precise location. What we In
tended to say was that In this famous
building are domiciied some OF the most
enterprising, thorough-going and reliable
cotton factors and grocers to be found in
our city, who command immense
amounts Of money, and whose dealings
are ~charterized by strict regard to the
interests Of their customers. Among the
grocers and cotton factors stands the firm
Of Messrs Price & T~resdwell, whose stock
Of groceries is unsurpassed. They under
stand their business thoroughly, and will
render satisfaction In every case. Their
card appears elsewhere.
