PAVING MAIN STREET-The condition
of Main street is again attracting the
attention of the Board Of Aldermen. DR..
Shaw and other members are stirring up
the paving question with long pole,
and it will doubtless now be determined
whether that thoroughfare is to remain a
sea of mud another winter. A meeting
Of the Board was held yesterday after
noon, but a secret session prevented the
result from reaching the public. 1t is
understood, however, that Messrs For
rest, Mitchell & Co. are endeavoriDg to
secure a change in the time and manner

plished, We presume The work win speed

NEw MEMpuIs TuyArER.-Lady Don s

NEW MEMPHIS TEsATER-Lady Dons
engagement promises to prove almost an
ovation. Since Lotta's appearance at
the Greenlaw Opera House last winter,
no one has walked the boards whose
presence produced as much enthusiasm
among her auditors. There is but one
conclusion at which our play goers can
arrive: that every way considered, she
is one of the NEST coasummate, charming
drtisteS who has ever made her debut to
Memphis audience. She is a variable
embodiment of burlesque, mirth and
jollity literally exuding from her face,
which constantly sparkles with the
most roguish sunbeams, and serves as an
effectual antidote to the blue devils. Her
Polly Eccles" ia Caste, and Bella
sunnyside" in the Pretty Horse breaker,
we're two of the most admirable por-
traitures we ever witnessed. She per-
sonated them with dash and esprit
which carried the audience by storm and
established her as favorite. But Lady
Don was not more successful than the
comedian, Mr.. Ellerton, whose "Eccles, =
in Caste, was one of the best persona
tons we ever witnessed. 1t was true to
the life, and every appearance onthe stage
proved the signal for the widest applause.
Mr.. Ellerton requires no other indorse-
ment of his claims to consideration as a
first. class artist Mrs Aliens Esther
Eccles" was good. 1t is impossible for her
to play badly; and Mr.. France has rea.
son to feel a pride in the success Of his
Samuel Gerridge,' which was in keep
ing with Polly" and Eccles" Mr..
Roche's "D'Alwry" was also good but
might have been more spirited. 1t is
due Mr.. Ferguson to say that he made a
first captain Hawtree" He is
admirably adapted to such characters.
This evening we are to have the Child
of the Regiment, with Lady Don as
Josephine. This is operate, and the
audience will have another opportunity
of listening to Lady Don's exquisite
singing. She is one of the most accom-
plished vocaists on the stage, and if even
not admirable every way, would be well
worth seeing for this merit alone Mr..
Ellerton is also in the cast The per
formance will conclude with the Pretty
Horse6reaker, in which Lady Don will
sing the "Horn of Chase" There
should be a crowded house.

The ferry clique profess very laudable
desire to cheaper the price of coal. We are
glad, because that is right into the hands of
the democrats. Mr.. Cable has done a great
deal more than any other man who has ever
lived here, to cheaper the price Of coal and
furnish the people with a certain and relia.
BILE supply. He has always furnished coal
cheaper than other people and he could al
ways be relied upon for supply. This is
just what is required in order to encourage
and build up factories, shops, &c, &C., and
| this is ust what the democrats are in favor
Of 1t is the interest and policy of democrats
to have certainty as to supply, and at the
lowest possible rate, because they are the
folks who use it. Look at the pillow factory
the wooden mill. the two breweries, the tan.
merry, and, in fact, large majority of the
manufacturing done here-it is carried on OF
controlled and managed by democrat. Nine
tenths of this kind of business is done by
democrats, and they want cheap coal, and a
sure supply. That's just what they are in
favor of and just what they have been pro.
ducing. Therefore, according to the logic OF
the ferry clique, if you want cheap coal, vote

SOME of the ferry monopoly party think it
very smart to retail the falshood that MIR.
Shearer never gave a cent to the poor fami-
lies of soldiers, when the fact is he gave more
than those who circulate the Islander. He
was overseer of the poor and kept grocery
store, during the war, and in numerous cases
he freely assisted the needy. Ask the family
of any soldier if they ever applied to him and
were turned away empty. In many cases
he advanced aid to families and, in due time,
got his pay back, from the county. But,
outside of this, he freely e.asSistanee to a
great many people, never expecting Or want
ing any return for it-except the thanks Of
those he helped. Ask the poor if VIM.
Shearer is not kinder hearted and more be-
nevolent man than those who Islander him

THE Bittenbanner coal company and fer
ry monopoly party" is trying to realize some
political capital out of the r. /. & P. r. R.,
and Mr.. Cables connection herewith. There
was time when something might have been
made by pitching into these matters, but
since the people have got to fully understand
the basis on which the coal business is con-
Quoted, and to see that the price of coal is
regulated by the cost of production instead
Of by the necessities of the people and more
particularly since Mr.. Gable made a dona-
ton to the city of the magnificent sum of
$4,000 on account of its unfortunate sub
scription to the capital stock of the company,
nobody can be scared by believing Gable,
or Cables monopoly. That's an old cry, and
one that has long since played out" The
people of this city are not fools, to be scared
by ali owl. They look at facts as they are,
and while they and the officers they elect
will firmly protect their rights, they
don't propose to do injustice to themselves OIL
anybody else.

THE poor girl whose arrest for an attempt
to destroy her child was noticed in yester-
dsy'y paper, will not have an examination
until the person who wrote to her to come to
Henry has been heard from. All who have
seen this girl agree that she is not a bad
character; but that she is unfortunate, friend
less, and alone, in a strange country, and
that the wrongs she has suffered have driven
her nearly or quite crazy. Justice should
be strongly tempered with mercy, in her
