OPENING OF THE DRAMATIC SEASON.
The painters have given their last
touches; the carpenters are driving the
last nails; the scenery is once more in
position, and Manager Thompson is now
ready for the opening of the dramatic
season. Belle Boyd left St. Joseph, No,
several days ago for Memphis, and if not
already here will arrive to-day. The
company has assembled, and on Monday
evening, with the "stRr," will introduce
themselves to a Memphis audience.
With Miss Boyd the public are already
familiar. The celebrity achieved during
the war has so famiharized her name
that few will fail to recognize her as the
dashing partisan scout, whose exploits
have at different times filled so large a
share of public attention. As an actress
she is spoken of in terms of high praise
by the English and Irish press.
COMPLAINTS ABOUT jury OPERATIONS.
OF about two hundred gentlemen sum
moned on the jury of the Criminal Court
for the June term only thirty seven
we're paid for service. Payment was
refused the others because their time
was not occupied during the entire term.
Some of the latter were compelled to
dance attendance at the courtroom
forty three days; others not so long.
The compensation is quite small, but
business men think it but just that,
their presence having been compelled,
il should be paid We understand that
a meeting of these gentlemen viii soon
be held, to inaugurale measures for
testing whether Judge Hunter can com
pei their services for any period without
paying therefor. Able lawyers viii be
employed to thoroughly look into the
matter.

DOMESTIC INFELIliTY.
A Negro Abandoned by his WIZ
on Presidents Island.
He Socks the Destroyer Of hi'
Peace and Shoots him Dead.

Several months since negro working
ON Presidents Island married very
pretty yellow girl. He brought his new
wife to the Island, and for time they
lived happily together Soon the hus'
bands sunlight was darkened by the
shadow of gay colored fellow, who saw,
admired and loved the woman who had
promised to love, honor and obey him.
The wife forgot her vows; forgot
her husband, abandoned him, and com
menced living with her paramour. This
occurred about two weeks ago. The
guilty pair were rejoiced day or two
afterward at the abandoned husbands
departure. He left without intimating
that he would return, and they fondly
hoped to be rid of him forever. Yester'
day evening he suddenly reappeRred on
the island, sought the residence OF his
wife'S seducer, saw him sitting in the
hut, drew repeater and fred several
times. The balls took effect, and the
author Of his misery lay dead in the
presence of his faithless spouse. The
latter screamed, and evidently anticipa-
ted the same punishment; but she was
not molested. The murderer, assured of
his victims death, turned and walked
away. He soon left the island, and has
not since been heard from. The names
of the parties were unknown to the cor
oner, Mr.. Cotton, who, at noon, left to
hold an inquest on the remains of the
,;ct;nr

we're exhibited by them on the above

that dealing in boots and shoes, or the
