ADJUSTMENTS.

New MEMPHIS THEATER.-The large
accessions from the country keep the
audience up to the mark numerically
desired by the management. Last night
our country cousins we use the
phrase because it is so original-from
Brownsville and way points were out in
full strength. The house was well filed,
and the performance proved successful
as usual. Tonight another Black Crook
excursion train will be run over a portion
of the Memphis and Charleston railroad,
and tomorrow night a delegation Of the
Mississippi bellies and beaux may be
anticipated via the Mississippi and Ten
nessee railroad. Friday evening Mana
ger Thompson will take a benefit. When
ever he retires from the management the
public will fully appreciate his SUI
periority in every respect to any other
ge ntleman who ever held similar posi-
ton in Memphis. He has labored unre-
mittedly to please, keeping his theater
under full Roadway, and presenting
expensive attractions in regular success
sion, when other managers under more
favorable circumstances were closing.
We hope our citizens will turn out in
sufficiently large numbers to fill the
theater Friday evening as it was never
filed before. All Mr.. Thompson's pre-.
vious benefits have been financial fail
ures, while few of those who are here
only a fortnight in year fail to prove
highly remunerative. Certainly, he who
labors from year to year in the interests
of the lovers of the drama, deserves
some other recognition than empty
benches. Then turn out on Friday
night.
PERSONAL learn that the popular
coincidence and vocalist Miss Sallie e.
Eldridge will leave in a day or two for
Mobile to fulfill an engagement III that
city. Our Mobile neighbors will find
Miss E. an actress of no little merit.
Tony BENToN's BENEFIT.-To-morrow
night the benefit of Tony Benton, the
we'll known Irish comedian, will take
place at the Varieties, for which fine
bill has been selected. He deserves o
substantial benefit, which he will, doubt
less, receive, being quite popular with
the habitues of that establishment.
The VARIETIEs.-Good houses con-
tinue to be the order of affairs at the Va
rieties, where new attractions are offered
almost nightly. Charley Howard, the
new burnt cork performer, is as droll
as drollery ITSELF
