NEW MEMPHIS THEATER-This IA.
vorite place Of amusement vas crowded
kIast night, on the occasion of the fare
well benefit and last appearance Of the
great American actress, Mrs. d. P.
Bowers, when the great play of the
Je1oess Of Madrid was produced with
the farce OF the Day after the Wedding.
We part with Mrs. Bowers, aud her tai
ented assistant, Mr.. McCulIun, with
regret, and hope that her visit TO Mem
phis has been as profitable TO them as it
has been gratifying to our pIay-goers.
Tonight the splendid play of hgomdr,
the Bar6arian, viii he produced for the
beneftof the Tennessee orphan asylum,
with Mr.. WheeIock and Mrs. flanagan
in the principal characters. For so
worthy an object the house should be
filed.
BETTER THAN A FATHER ADAMS
BREEcHEs.-It is an i'll wind that blows
nobody any good. II a market be over
stocked, a few may lose; the many make
by saving money. J. H. Waggener had
the largest stock Of clothing ever brought
to Memphis. He sold it to Mr.. Mont
gOmery for money and real estate. Mr..
Montgomery has resold for real estate,
and Gen. Frank. c. Armstrong repre-
sents the purchasers. He must close out
the immense stock within sixty days, at
the close of which period his contract re-
quires him t. deliver possession Of the
Marble building, at the corner Of Madison
aud Main. Prices of goods are, there
fore, reduced to a minimum-less than
original cost. People of the city should
call at once, and those from the country
before the choicest apparel has been
removed by rapid sales. The house is
now crowded with purchasers from morn
ing till night.
LARGE EYEs.-Large eyes have al
way been admired, especially in women,
aud may be considered essential to the
highest order of besuty, in almost every
description Of which, from Helen Of
Troy to any modern heroine, they hold a
prominent place. We read of Large
spiritual eyes, and 81 eyes loving large"
to which the epithets spiritual and
" loving " are never applied. An Arab
expresses his idea of the beauty of a
gazelle. This is the burden of his
song. The timidity, g~entleness, aud in
nocent fear in the eye of the deer tribe
are compared with the modesty Of the
young girl: "Let her be as the loving
hind and the pleasant roe" Persons
with large eyes give US the impression of
being " wide awake" and ready for se-
ton, while smalI-eyed people have more
generally a sleepy look, and a slug
gish temperament or habit Of body. DR..
Redfeld observes that "persons with
large eyes have very lively emotions,
think very rapidly and speak very fast,
unless there be a preponderance OF the
phlegmatie temperament. OF persons
with small eyes the reverse is true.
The former are quick and sponta-
neous in their feelings, and in the ex-
preston of them, and are there
fore simple, like the Scotch, Swiss,
and all who inhabit the mountainous
regions. The latter are sure and calcu-
lating, and therefore artful, like the gip
sizes, q people who generally inhabitl level
countries. There is q connection between
activity and the ascending and descend
ing d~eelivities, a fact which We evinee in
running up and down stairs, and which
an active horse exhibits when he comes
down a hill and hence the Scotch High
landers, as well as the sheep, goats, cha
mois, etc, have very large eyes and great
activity"
