Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-05-29

NEW MISUNDERSTANDING -pleasantest,
if not one of the most brilliant or largely
attended entertainments that has taken
place at the New Memphis, came off last
night, being the concert and fete of the
pupils of the Memphis Female College,
under the direction of Prof. Tepe. The
house was about half full, which, consid-
ering the lateness. of the season., and the
number of entertainments which have
been calling on the public for their pat
ronage, was a very good attendance. The
programme for the evening was a fairy
operetta entitled "Lalla,' (the
music by G.. w. Stratton and
the libretto by Mrs. l.. L. Strattoni)
in three parts, and scenes from Lalla
Rookh. The story of "LalIa" in the
usual fairy narrative; a group of children
playing; enter a beggar woman, who
Graves five cents to buy a loaf of bread
she is repulsed by all save the heroine.
Heroine shares bread and butter with
her, and invites her home to stay with
her. Old woman thanks her, and taking
the "cold wittles," loves off. Heroine,
by and by, gets lost in a wood; in despair
prays to the fairies: old woman turns up
as Queen of the Fairies, and pays back
the bread and butter with interest, mar
ries heroine off to a prince, giving her
as a dowry a few millions in gold, a bushel
u uldIllOIlNlS. anu u CO6tllIdIO lOuIs bIdilNl
finale" Be virtuOus and you'll be
happy" with a dance, participated in by
heroine, her friends, and the beggar wo-
man fairy. In the present instance the ar
rangement was melodramatic rather than
operate, and introduced the last Rose
of Summer" "Sweet Home" and the
minnet from Don Juan. The east was as
follows: "Lalia," Miss Katie Harris;
/" Fairy Queen" Miss Mary McRae;
- IL rzt ATnrnfofV, ChSIA - Mice ATafffo
McPherson; Second Mountain Child"
Miss Eliza Mcpherson: Duets, Trio's
and horuses," Fairies, Mountain Children
and Beggars. All the young ladies ac-
quitting themselves most admirably. The
scenes from Lalla ROokhwerethe " Yelled
Prophet of khOrassan," Paradise and
Peri" "The Fire Worshippers," "Feast
of Roses" etc. The whole performance
concluded with the Gipsey scene from
the opera 1.-The Twin Sisters" partiei-
pated in by Misses X. Harris, Julia Nor
gan and Lucy Mhoon. The audience
seemed delighted from first to last, and
all on leaving the theater declared them
selves richly repaid for attending the
entertainment.
PARLoR Music HALL.-This place of
amusement-quite as respectable and or
DERBY as some with more ~pretentious
names-was again opened last night, and
a very excellent show given. The death
of Mons. Neaudemont necessitated, of
course, a change in the programme, but
we are informed that the usual routine
will be commenced again on Monday
night. Manager Thompson informs us
that he has already engaged several new
star actors that have before appeared in
Memphis, and that they will probably
open up on Monday night. Admission

A Memphis LOthariO on the Grand Round.
He is Married on a Half Hours courtshlp,
and Deserts his Bride After a Night
II Of Welded Bliss.
He Leaves $500 in Counterfeit Specie to
snf. Console Her.

The real names, says the st. Louis Re
| publican, of the parties to the following
strange matrimonial transaction are with
held for obvious reasons:
"a few days ago, Mr.. Tanning, a young
widower, arrived in this city from Mem
phis, and took rooms at a fashionable
clearinghouse on Fifth street. The gem
tleman, though vet in his weeds, was af-
fable and agreeable, as widowers some
times are, and during his short stay was
looked upon by all the boarders and others
domiciled at h house, as a marvellous
proper man. The shortness of his stay,
however, has something to do with the
gist of this story, and we proceed at once
to develop the facts. Not more than three
DAYS after Mr.. Fanning's domiciliation in
Mrs. Green's boardinghouse, 1--WE should,
perhaps, have given the lady's name be-
fore, but the sequel viii show it was not
necessary, he animated to the landlady
that he was DESTROYS of procuring a house
keeper-sOme N to "a charge of his
home and two interesting children in
Memphis.
Our information is not positive that
Mrs. Green introduced Mr.. Tanning to
her daughter; but he was introduced to
Miss Matilda Green, and in half an hour
they agreed on a plan by which she should
become his lawful housekeeper. They
decided to get married. A priest
was sent for. They were mar
ried and Immediately set off for
Memphis. Their trunks and travelling
effects were transferred to the other side
of the river, but unfortunately too late
for them to take the early train, and they
were under the disagreeable necessity of
remaining over night in East st. Louis.
They took room at the Sherman House
and remained all night. Next morning,
after breakfast, the husband came sudden
ly into the presence of his bride, holding
in his hand a Geographic dispatch, which
he handed to her, requiring his immediate
presence in Hannibal, Mo-, where business
of importance awaited him. of urse
there was no alternative but that of leav-
ing his new-made bride. So he handed
her the snug little sum of five hundred
dollars in shining gold, and, telling her to
90 to her mother and remain with her till
his return-which would be in a Gerry short
time-left her in tears, but full of faith in
his truth and worth. The five hundred
dollars showed he was all right-there
was no getting around that, she thought.
The frequency of outrageous swindles in
these days, accounts of which have been
published in the papers, will already, no
doubt, a raised a suspicion in the mind
of the posted reader as to the den0uement
of this hasty wedding. To cut the story
short, the young bride was soon told that
her gold pieces were all counterfeit! She
has now been waiting several days for the
return ofherhusband without a word from
him, and, while her friends are af opinion
that he viii never return, and that she has
been imposed on by a villain, she lives in
hope that he viii come back to her, and
make her happy. Sic transit!

the albino, with white eyes and hair, down
to Tor up to-which is it?) coal black. 1t
was a novel and curious sight, and one
that set many q man to thinking. The
| procession embraced all of the colored
schools and Sunday schools In the city,
each under the management ofits Superin-
tendent and corps o~fteachers, and disting-
uished by banners, flags, and various other
ensignia, the affair being an exact imita-
ton of sinbar celebrations by "white
folks" There were some eight OF ten
May Queens curious and noticeable
fact being the choice of yellow girls. in
almost every instance, for the queens.
The usual negro love for gay colors and
glittering tinsel, was the most striking
feature of the whole affair, and the glazing
red, blue and gold of the dresses, together
with the palanquins, eanopies, ETC., of the
same gaudy cOlors, gave the procession a
barbaric appearance that was interesting
and amusing. The darby initiative tai
ent was also most remarkable, and dis
played itself very ludierously in some in
stances. For instance, we noticed several
negro girls of from ten to fourteen years
of age dressed as -angeJS, with tinsel wings
spread as if for flight. They looked ex-
cessively ludicrous, and by their real dar-
ky carriage and a~wkwardness, caused
many a hearty laugh. After parading
through the street, the column marched
out to Dunn's Grove, where several thou
sand negroes assembled and passed the
day in their own peculiar manner.
The alarm of fire, sounded last night
about half past nine O'Clock, was occa-
stoned by the partial burning of the
