Reply TO PsmrRR.-- Printer" in
the Aralanehc Of this morning, is sorely
distressed. evidently because he is about
to lose some Of his patronage. He wants
to know IL it is legitimate for outsiders
to have these jobs Of work. We think
not, sir, unless they have license. The
parties who have the contract to furnish
several of the hotels with their bills Of
fare, have the necessary 3 license
to do every variety Of job
work, and very likely had
it before Printer" ever saw Memphis;
and they intend to do il, no matter how
much it may hurt PRINTER" If the
hotels take their work away from you,
and give it to somebody else, It is
evidently because they can have cheaper
and better work done. i M.
VARIETIES THKArER.--A crowded house
witnessed the splendid performance given
at this popular place of amusement last
evening. In addition to the company,
FIVE new stars made their debut Tony
Benton. in his Irish melodies, took the
house by storm. He is without doubt
one Of the best Irish character singers
that has been before the people of Mem
phis. J. G. Murphy and Johnny Smith
also made their first appearance, and
we're received with thuuders of applause.
Miss Clara Devere and Miss Nellie Tay-
lor mode first appearance. They are
both all that could be desired. Charley
Broom does all in bis power to please.
TEE GAYETIEs THEATER.-Night after
night this matchmaking place goes on,
and nothing is permitted to interfere with
the audience, who enjoy the performance
beyond description. Senorita Lopez and
her infant acrobats excite great deal Of
interest, and their performance is some
thing to be wondered at. Tonight Mr..
Tooley and Prendergast will give, for the
first time, their double song and dance.
Besides these great many stars will ap-
pear, who have already won laurels in the
theatrical world. Mr.. Ely deserves to
be patronized.
DEoIDED.-The existing lawsuit which
has occupied the Chancery Court for
several days, and out of which the
shooting ARRAY in the courtroom between
Dickens and Psttison grew, on Friday
last, was this morning decided by the
jury, inpanneled in the case, in favor of
the complsinants-Patsiso and wife.
Col. Luke Finley for the defendant, and
Stephens & Smith and Carmack for the
compliments. stg
DR.. ROGERS friends, on account of the
limited space in the /" Memphis Club
Hail." invite the public to the Greenlaw
Opera House, to hear his Irish Poem
"LaJftte, the first Fenian ITO be de-
liyered by him tomorrow night (Wednes-
day, 20th). On account of an invitation
to New Orleans, this must be his last ap-
pearance here until after his return from
Europe, whittier, we understand, he is
going for his family. Tickets, fifty cents.
SToLEN.-E r. Charles Reemer, who
lives on Poplar street, was asked to buy
yoke of oxen from two negroes who
could not give satisfactory account of
how they came in possession of them.
The negroes found they had gotten into
difficulty and made hasty retreat.
The cattle are still in the possession of
Mr.. Reemer, who would be glad to de-
liver them to the owner.
