s@- Harry Placide has gone blind.
We recoIlect him thirty years ago, as
the leading comedian of the sold
Park Theatre, at New York 49, the
best evolutionary school the country
has ever standing first among
his equals in a company where all
were stars and giving the delighted
audience the richest displays of the
wit of pure stage, and the pathos,
the feeling, the satire and the imita-
ton that made the finished actor.
Placide was no common man, and
o'e Of The best 'mpersonators of the
drama this country has ever seen.
We recoiect him playing with Tyrone
Power, when it was hard to say who
was the grand actor of the night;
with old Barnes, in the Comedy Of
Errors, when be of Ephesus and be
OF Syracuse got so strangely mingled
that the audience could not tell them
apart, and even actors we're Devil
dered. we recollect him too as Sir
Harcourt, with "Cool, don't you think
I've put too much on ?" as Monsieur
Tonson, with his recollections of the
first empire !; and as Grand Father
Whitehead, where tears would flow
despite every effort. He had noble
heart, genial soul, and exhibited
great study of human nature. Alas,
he is blind, but his heart and mind
can see and revel yet in the rich ac-
quirements of happy and honorable
life. May his declining years be as
placid as his name -NatcAes Con-.
rier.

has fallen 'just about right" but has
skipped over localities. Nevertheless,
the crop prospects everywhere were

may retard or dry up up vegetation
somewhat, it will have the good effect
Of killing off the caterpillar.

REsrAuRAsrrre ON STEAMBOATS,. :

REsTAURAETIEG ON STEAMBOATS,. -
A st. Louis dispatch Of the 25th ult
says
The restaurant system for steam
boats, as tried on the Belle of Alton,
has proved success. The captain
declares it TO be saving Of $1,000 a
month. The saloon is rented and
the crews board paid for by the boat,
while the passengers feed the same
as in eating houses on shore, paying
only for what they get. The Mem
phis Packet Company think Of try
ing it on at least one or two Of their
boats. 81
That's the systematic sort of sys.
tem to suit the times. Boats cannot
afford, as in old times to keep up lux
.urious tables, and passengers are, as
a general thing, unable TO pay for
sucn extravagances. Come down
with your high rates of passage let
the travelling public be made to feel
that they can travel cbeaply and not
be obliged to pay for what they do
not get, and see, as on the northern
rivers and lakes, how much more
travelling there will be on the boats
by the multitudes who can now i'll
afford to make a trip away from
home, even on business, much lees for
pastime OF pleasure. Cheap travel
ling induces travelling and yields the
largest revenue in the long run, to
those individuals or companies who,
as public carriers are wise enough and
far-sighted enough to adopt the policy
just as the system Of cheap postage
has tended to stimulate letter writ
ing, among> the people everywhere,
increased the inter transmission of
letters and other mailabIe matter, and
in this way afforded heavily
augmented and augmentiug yield over
the old high rate system, to the ma
tional exchequer.

ADJUSTMENTS.


WV A@*s.Fnt*
The beautiful Alabama plantrsss, ao-
complished lady and versatile actress,
Miss Charlotte Thompson, takes her Grst
benefit this season at the New Memphis
tonight That there will be not only
full house, but magnificent assemblage
OF the upper and middle classes, to greet
this favorite artistic and exhibit an APP
probation Of her merits, Is beyond
doubt Il being Friday, too, when the
bon ton take pleasure in showing their
new opera cloaks and hoods to the ad-
miriug gaze OF friends and stran-
gers, a jam may be expected and
we advise all who have not Sc
cured seats ia the dresE-circle for ladies
to 20 at once 10 the ticket Office and Sc
cure them, otherwise there may be n
squeeze and disappointment not very
pleasing TO young folks who wish TO see
and be seen on such fashionable occa-
Gon.
The piece selected is Rich and Poor,
a drama, we believe, written for Miss
Thompson, and which affords a wide field
for contrasts Of character 10 il Miss
Thompson sustains the very difficult part
Of Alice, and Mr.. Hamilton that
Of Hernay. The ever-careful flanagan
personates the character Of Tannenhof
and the sprightly Malmburg that Of Will
liam. Mr.. Dewey, who is an excellent
comedian, plays finder, and Mrs. Nellie
Taylor, who is a 6rst-cass coincidence,
Madam Henley. With such artists the
piece is very likely to prove success,
gratifying alike to the managers aud the
company, aud profitable, we hope, to the
fair beneficiary.
BY the way, We are happy to learn from
many Of our play-goers who are good
judges ofacting that Mr.. Theodore Hamil-
ton suits their notions of Heading man."
They say he is an excellent elocutionist,
an essential power in a good actor, al
though very rare nowadays in those who
adopt the stage as profession. They
also say his " make up" is accurate, and
his costuming appropriate. Very little
more is needed to enable him to shine
with the brilliancy of a star" An &C.
tor who is good elocutionist, and pays
attention to time, custom, manners and
looks, will assuredly win his way to pub
lie favor and admiration for although
there may be those who care more for
rant and roughness than graceful ex
preston and deneanor, it behooves
the true artist to keep within the
bounds of nature and probability; and
this we believe Mr. Hamilton does,
whereby he shows knowledge of his
art that will in time find its full reward.
That winsome character in the choice
little comedy of the Rough Diamond
that was wont to be such fayorite with
Julia Dean-Margery, pretty, innocent
Margery-Miss Thompson essays to-
night. She will perform it in neat and
natural manner; but in order that in
terest in the piece may be well kept up,
she has prevailed on McWade, who is
NJ mus half5rother,,to enact" the part
of Cousin Joe. Mr.. Malmburg, too,
plays Sir William Evergreen, and Mrs. |
Theodore Hamilton makes her first ap |
pearance in Memphis as Lady Plato.
A fashionable entertainment indeed |
for the fashionable night

INCENDIARISM.
Two Houses and Horse Destroyed.

About four o'clock this morning, in
cendiaries went to work and set fire to
the residence of W. N. Eakin, Esq,
formerly known as the eager Place, on
Alabama street, opposite Hill, and the
adjoining residence of Cyrus Johnson,
Esq. The alarm was promptly given by
the police, and engines and firemen
quickly repaired to the scene; but the
scarcity of water in the neighborhood
prevented them saving the dwellings,
which were completely ruined. A fine
horse in Mr., Jehnson's stable was burned
to a cinder. Through the combined ex-
ertions of firemen and policemen, a guam
tity of furniture, including piano worth
$500, was saved. We did not learn
whether the parties were insured or not.
We trust the police will ferret out the ma
licious scoundrels who delight in this
barbarous mode of destruction, and bring
them to justice. The worst enemies a
community can have are incendaries.

wagged their tongues too much had to
pay $40 each. The quieter man goes

wicked habits by bad company. To save
