DEATH OF Mr.. DAvIs.-His Murderer
Shot.-Mr. John Davis, shot by one of
Cayton's gang at Mound City, died on
Monday. The perpetrator of the out
rage was tried by court-martial on Tues
day, sentenced to death, and executed at
Marion on Wednesday afternoon. We
hope this is the last of the tragedies

BENEFIT OF FRANZ MAYo.-The peo-
pie of Memphis are the most liberal
hearted in the world; they appreciate
talent, and ever patronize it in a hand
some and becoming way. Therefore it
is needless to say the New Memphis will
be crowded from pit to gallery With a
large and intelligent audience tonight.
Two capital comedies will be placed on
the boards in grand style-first the high
comedy Of Don Cesar de Bean, and
next the petit comedy of the Bull in the
China Shop-in both Of which Mr..
Mayo takes prominent part. He has
the physique and dash requisite TO make
a splendid don Cesar" and we believe
very few actors can exceed him in the
rendition of Bagshot." Malmburg
as Charles the Second" and hurry as
Don Jose" will add to the grandeur
of the first piece, and McWade as
"Piper" aud Mrs. Cline as " Susan
to the drollery and sprightliness Of the
second. A more fashionable or pleasant
performance could not have been selected
for the occasion; it is such as we fire.
quently see posted in London papers for
grand night at the Queens and
Prince Of Wales theaters. We sntici-
pate such a turnout of ladies' ss will
astonish the strangers 10 our city, many
of whom are to visit the New Memphis
tonight to see our beautiful bellies, about
whose charms they have heard so much
praise. We venture to say no city in
the Union turns out more elegantly
dressed ladies to the theater than ours.
Go and see.

FIRE IN South MEMPHIS. - About
eleven o'clock last night FIRE broke out
in row Of frame tenement houses on
the northwest corner of South and
Causey streets. The property belonged
to Mr.. John Callahan, and was occupied
by several parties, among them Mr.. Pat.
Fisher, who kept grocery on the corner,
Squire Burke and Mr.. Ed. Cline. The
tenements, six 10 number, were totally
destroyed. Through the exertions Of
fremen, policemen, and citizens gene
rally, quantity of furniture was saved.
We believe Mr.. Callahan loses nothing
by the fire, as the houses were fully in
sured. Mr.. Fishers loss on stock is
$4,000; insured for $1,000. Squire Burke
lost furniture and valuables to the
amount of $1,000; no insurance. Mr..
Cline's loss is about $500. The origin of
the fire remains a mystery.

TRUE POLITENESS.
Lay siege to the heart OF the maiden you
And, after the manner of noodles,
Pen poems, and style her your darling and
Pay court to her brothers and poodIes.
Give presents, and when you are scorned
Ina way that you cannot think hatters,
Say sWeetly, as If TO such things you were
You don't think it anyway matters.
A picnic get up for party of swelis,
And after you've dOated the bubble,
Get cut bs the fellows and snuoDed by the
And thanks. If you can, for your trouble;
Reduce your finances TO much below par;
And then, as if nothing alleged II,
Stand up unabashed, like the hero you are,
And swear that you've really enjoyed it.
Go bond for the chum of your bosom and
Accept ali lis bills and profe ssions-
Believe In his friendship, his honor and
And lend him one h alt your possessions /;
And wnen las matter-of-course, twill
You're diddIed and done beyond meas re,
Assert To have shown him "A service at ali
Has broughtyou the greatest Of pleasure.
Give glorious dinners, send out and invite
Your friends, aud do all that you're able
To make your cuisine give those present
delight;
And when, as you 1T at the table,
You're badgered and sneered at by each
who Sees fit,
Why, vow, as your heartfelt confession
That, truly, their exquisite manners and
wit
Enchant you beyond all expression.
Put faith and your money in railway or
mine:
Believe, with respect to directors,
That honor and NJ. p. must always COM
bine;
In the conscience believe in projectors.
And then, in the hour when you ind that
you
begger-with pleasant persisten
Protest That Il Is, you are GER ain, by far
The happiest OF all your existence!
