daughters to be styled "the belle Of the

magnificent galaxy Of beauties from
nearly every State in the South. We
can assure the PicGyune that the lady in
question is equally AS fascinating in
manners as she is lovely in person :
Among the guests at the grand ball
given at the St. Louis Hotel last night
was Madame Ristori and daughter The
latter, who is as graceful as she is beau
tiful, mingled in the dance several times
during the evening The rooms were
fairly ablaze with beauty, and the mag

of the ladies' would have gracod Euro.

Cows LosT, Found AND Losr.-A few
days since Mr.. S. r. Clark lost two fine
COWS, for whose recovery he offered a
reward Of twenty-five dollars. A negro
in his employ started to hunt up the
missing bovines, and when near the resi-
dence of DR.. Wheaton, on the Horn Lake
road, met q man on horseback driving
the very cows he was looking for. The
negro told the man they were Mr.. Clark s
cows. He said that he knew it, had
found them and was driving them home.
The darkey returned, and was astonished
to learn that the cows had not reached
home. Evening and night came, but the
absent producers of tactical fluid showed
not their horny heads at their late mas
ters residence. The individual most
probably drove them to some slaughter
house and pocketed the proceeds, while
the animals were converted into choice
joints for the market, and Mr.. Clark may
have seen a portion of his missing cows
at the breakfast table this morning,

SLIGHTLY MISTAKEN. On Friday we
published an account of gentleman
being knocked down and robbed of
diamond pin valued at one hundred and
fifty dollars while going up stairs to his
room on Jefferson street, on the strength
of the genteman's own statement at
police headquarters. Since then he has
called and erased the loss from the
police books, friend having returned
the missing pin, stating that he had
taken it from his breast before parting
as he considered him in condition that
might attract the attention of any con-
scienceless individual DESTROYS of Sc
curing a fine diamond pin. That's a
good joke on somebody.

NEW MEMPHIS THEATRE Notwith-
standing the unfavorable weather and
the wretched condition of the streets,
there was large attendance at the New
Memphis Theatre on Saturday evening
to DO honor to Mr.. Wheelock on the oc-
casion of his benefit. Bulwer's famous
drama entitled Richelieu, or The Con-
spiracy, was produced, Mr.. Wheelock
sustaining the part of the Cardinal in
manner that was pleasing to all pres
ent, who evinced their appreciation in
well-merited applause. In the fourth act
he was grand, excelling many of those
who are considered bright stars in the
theatrical armament. A young ANA
teur, Mr.. Jacob Seessel appeared as
adrian de Mauprat and did right well;
in the first act he appeared timid and
spoke too low, but afterwards warmed
up, delivered many passages in an ex-
cellent manner and was frequently APP
plauded. Mr.. Drayton. volunteered to
perform the part of Baradas," the
favorite of Louis" and filled the
character in his usual careful and
correct style. Mrs. Lanagan's Julie
was decidedly good and worthy of the
reputation which she has made in our
city during the past two years. Mr..
flanagan as "Peter," Mr.. Kingsley as
Louis XIII and Mrs. Marston as the
page" did WELL At the conclusion of
the drama Mr.. Wheelock was called be-
fore the curtain and made neat speech.
Miss Nora Bradford sung 81 Sigh for
Home in very sweet manner, which
produced enthusiastic applause that
would not subside until she came forth to
repeat it. The performance concluded
with the recitation of ShamuS O. Brien
by Mr.. Wheelock To night the cele-
brated actor, Mr.. +. S. Chanfrau, will
make his first appearance in Memphis
for several years as Bob Briefly" in
the Tycketof Leave Man.
