NJ AN0L U" AN@A' ' 49,
members of the Memphis club are max
ing preparations for a masquerade hSl
at their hall In the GreeElaw block. IL
viii, under their management, no doubt
? be a brilliant affair.
nDx'r LIKE THE MrD-Two horses
attached to a street ear going north yes
terdav morning, not liking the sloppy
state Of the streets, desired, it is sup
posed, to take the sidewalk, pulling the
car off the track. No serious damage
was done and nobody to blame.
RRoCKY AaAN.-Brocky Burns, an
individual well known on the levee and
also at the police station, at which he
makes periodical visits, was yesterday
arrested charged with having his hands
in pockets other than his own. Brocky
has of late been lucky in being acquitted,
but his chances this time look slim.

A NICE TRAP.-As an evidence Of the
fearful state of our streets and crossings
at the present time, we state that an
omnibus mired on the corner Of Second
and Beal streets yesterday morning
one of the wheels was almost lost to
sight in its endeavor to find bottom.
The city authorities charge thsthas COM
pany is responsible for the "rut." Had
it not been for the c~areflness and pres
ence Of mind Of the driver, the passen-
| gers would no doubt have suffered Sc
verely-from the carelessness Of some
6odyt Who is responsible?
NEW MEMPHIS THEATER.-The al
tendance at the New Memphis last night
was large, though not so numerous as
the talent Of the players deserved. The
Irish drama, with Florence as the ire
sistible Rory, Kept the house in a perfect
roar. The acting and singing of Mrs.
Florence was charming. Manager
THOMPSON is a good and careful caterer

reward for his lsbors. Tonight, for Mr..
F~lorencs's benefit, will be presented the
{" Irish Lion - and "Thrice Married, -
when no doubt the house viii he filled TO
Overlooking.
CARELEss.-As officers Dow and Far
rel were going the rounds yesterday
morning, about enc o'clock, they found
the key in the front door Of the Gayoso
and Insurance Trust company. Fear
ing something wrong was going
on, they made an examination of the
premises, but found no robber and all was
secure. The key was taken to the first
district stationhouse, where it remained
till late in the day, when it was claimed
10y and delivered to n of the employees.
II is promised that the last party leaving
the house left the key in the door by
mistake.

Police MArrERs.-The attendance
at the commissioners levee yesterday
was very slim, only twelve eases in all
being up for trial. a man named
Brown, who was arrested some days
since, charged with being an escaped
prisoner from the Cincinnati Jail, and a
confidence man named Chas. Montague,
were set at liberty. To what are We to
attrilmte this quiet state Of affairs 10 the
criminal world Of Memphis for the past
two days? Is it the Increasing morality
Of the people, or the heavy rains and
miry lhroughfares? Alas, we fear the
latter and not the former, is the cause.
OBsTUCTIoNs.-A new brick building
has lately been erected on the southeast
corner Of Causey and Besl streets, which
Is an ornament 10 the city and a credit
to the builders and proprietors. The
building is apparently completed, but the
mortar tubs, refuse lumber, bricks, old
water casks and barrels are stiil allowed
TO obstruct the sidewalk on Causey,
which, coupled with the bad state OF the
streets, makes it very dangerous to Re-
destrians. Last evening a man passing
that way, ran against the distinctions
fell and seriously injured his frontispiece.
He does not know who to bringan action
of damages against, the city OF the
builder OF the house. Who will give him
the necessary information? Echo an.
swers who.
GRATrTUDE.-We yesterday met viii
Mr.. James Brown, Of New Orleans, q
