New MEHPnIs THEArER --As we ex-
peeled, NJ. Mayo MAS warmly received
at the New Memphis last night. His
rendition Of" Hamlet was very smooth,
aud evinced clear perception of the
character. Although gosd reader,
when in the torrent of passion he oc.
casionalIy forgets to acquire that tenn
perance which crowns it with grace but
he does not overstep the bounds Of ma
ture by tearing passion 10 tatters for
the purpose Of pleasing the groundlings
or to make the unskillful laugh. The
following passage 10 the second scene
was spoken with proper emphasis and
action:
Seems. madam nay. 1t is; know not seems.
IT'S not alone my inky cloak, good mother,
Ner customary suits Of solemn black. s
Nor windy suspiration OF forc'd breath.
No. nor the fruitful river IN the eye. .es
Nor the detected havior Of the visage.
Together with all forms, modes, shows Of grief.
That can denote me truly; these indeed seem.
For they are actions that a man might play
But have that within which passeth show
These are but the irappiugi and the suits Of
VICE."
The soliloquy commencing To be, or
not to be-" was also we'll spoken but
we think lighter and freer method Of
speaking to "Polonius would have
been more acceptable, and set off to
better advantage " Hamlet's wariness
ir the interview with "Roseneraniz p"
and Guildenstern" However, taken
all in all, it was a masterpiece of acting,
such as we have not seen before this sea-
son. Hamilton's "Ghost," Malmburg' 8
" Claudius," and Murry's Laertes "
were satisfactory representations. Nc
Wade had sense enough not to make q
clown of the Gravedigger;" and Lar
agan played Polonius in his own
easy way. Tonight Mr.. Mayo appears
in Bulwer's grand character of " Riche-
lieu"

winter has set spritualists and other
philosophers studying to find out whether
the world is on its last legs" or a
comet has lost its tail. People in Mem
phis care very little about the result Of
philOsophic studies; being blessed With
fine weather all the year rOand, they en-
joy it without inquiring after the state OF
the planets, Nevertheless, It was q
rare sight to see primroses in fall bloom
and Foses unfolding their petals in
Northern clisss on Christmas day.

ASuGGEsTIoS.-Some people say Men,
phis is behind the age in originality. We
wait, it is said, for New Workers and
Bostonians to come and show US what
improvements are In progress in the me-
chanic arts. Just now men and boys are
trying to run velocipedes upon the streets.
Their swkwardness occasionally gets
them into trouble; bat generally their
attempts at locomotion are amusing

theatrical managers were to treatus to
the battle of Bosworth field with Rich
ard and Richmond" mounted on velo-
cipedes, twirling and twisting in the fury
of the contest for the vantage ground"
wouldn't it be gay, and might win for us
the reputation of being quite original.
