New Memphis Theater.

This institution is undergoing an
almost entire change within. The stage
carpenter, who has been at work week,
has wrought great change in stage prop
erty and appearances generally. When
completed, we will have one Of the most
elegant theaters in the country, North or
South, though of course not quite as large
or costly as some few. The benches are
TO be replaced with chairs, and there will
no longer be any question as to how
many people row of seats viii hold.
The house will be heated by q modern
apparatus of most approved pattern.
This will be q new comfort in
the winter to Memphis thester-goers.
A fountain will play in the center of the
parquette, and everything will be neat
and elegant. The orchestra, we are
assured, will be one of the best we have
ever heard in Memphis. The season will
open early for engagements with the lead
ing actors of the day. Measra, spaulding
+ Bidvell have peculiar advantages in
this respect, having first-class theaters in
St. Louis and New Orleans. The season
promises to be one of unprecedented
brilliancy and success,

On the east side Of Raleigh avenue,
on portion of the Lanier Place, a gen.
tleman has raised forty acres of broom
corn, which is pronounced by good
judges to be of superior quality. He
will commence cutting il on Monday,
and after it is cured and baled will ship
it to St. Louis, where it commands high
price. We commend the gentlemans
enterprise, and hope others may follow
his example of industry next year; but
we would rather have the corn nanufac-
tured into brooms in Memphis than see
1t shipped to St. Louis. However, when
all the old fogies are dead. and young
men with practical knowledge and en-
terprising spirit take hold of affairs, we
expect to see Memphis rise above mere
commission mart for the sale Of articles
manufactured in Cincinnati, Louisville
and ST. Louis. 49,

ToURNAMEEr AT HICKORY wIIHE.
Large Attendance of Manhood and
Beauty. and a Happy Occasion.

Last Thursday, the 22d inst, tourna.
ment was held at Hickory Withe, q little
town on the Memphis and Ohio railroad,
twenty-five miles from the city.
1t was given for the benefit of Hickory
Withe Academy, Furnishing institution
of learning, and it was in every sense
successful aud pleasant A large Assem-.
bly, of the best people in the country
ware on the grounds at an early hour to
witness the contest ofthe gallant knights.
The gathering included the young and
the old, the gray-besrded aud the beard
less, venerable locks and silken tresess,
sedste matrons and rosy checked, joyous
girls, youth, beauty and manhood. They
came to enjoy themselves, and were re-
warded to their hearts full content.
A ring suitable for the fitting had been
prepared, and seats were placed around,
and partially screened by a comfortable
shade. " ia lll
The contest for knightly honors was
highly interesting, and resulted as fol-
lows: Mr.. Ham Smith won the first prize,
an elegant saddle and bride, worth one
hundred dollars. Being married, the
gallant knight gave way to Mr.. T. F.
Lynn, who crowned Miss Lizzie Themp-
son Queen Of Love and Beauty.
Mr.. W. L. Loring, of Gallaway's sta
ton, won the second prize, heavy fob
chain, worth fifty dollars. He crowned
Miss Beasley, of Gallaway's station, First
Maid of Honor. sld ag Dl
Mr.. Waller, of Macon, Tennessee, won
the third prize-s heavy gold ring, worth
twenty-five dollars-and crowned Miss
Lou Bates, of Macon, as second Maid Of
Honor. a4i
The ceremonies were gracefully per-
formed and witnessed with interest and
delight by the spectators. There we're
about fifteen hundred persons present,
and the net proceeds were estimated to
be about seven hundred dollars. ..t

NAr1oHALrTIns,
Or why John smith Is mot Designated
rs an American.

We mentioned yesterday the. Julius
Roleran had been convicted of larceny in
the Criminal Court, and spoke Of tas a
curious fact that he was the 6rst Italian
convicted of larceny in the city. Our
statement was cleaned from the legal re-
port which appeared in the morning pa
pers. But we are informed since that
Julius Boleran is Frenchmsn, and make
the correction cheerfully. A CORE
spondent from beneath the sunny skies Of
Italy, but now as good an American,
doubtless, as any other citizen, complains
that in criminal news the nationality
is often given Of those who come from
Italy, while native American is merely
mentioned without giving his country.
The truth is, that the native Am ericans'
are go often in some criminal strait or
other that all offenders are presumed to
DO Americans, unless otherwise stated.
If John Smith is arrested for stealing o
COW, we hardly think it necessary to men,
ton that he is an American; that is un.
derstood by everybody. John Smith and
Bill Green and Dick Brown, and such
fellows, are always getting into some
scrape or other, and for one Of them to be
arrested creates no surprise, for it is an
everyday occurrence. But when
some one from q foreign land hap
pens to be arraigned in the courts
the nationality is a matter of remark, for
il is an exceptional case. We believe
that our foreign born fellow.citizens, in
proportion to numbers and their knowl-
edge of the law, and all things considered,
are seen less on criminal dockets and can
make better showing than the native
born. The most of naturalized citizens
are frugal, industrious and law-abiding,
and many are prominent in the leading
enterprises of the day. In this country
all are equal--except that a negro is lit
tie better than white man-and every
mans character is made by his actions,
not by the place where his parents hap
pened to be at the time be came into the
world. When person of foreign birth
is mentioned for some deed of merit or
high excellence, we are sure in Civ
ing his name, to say he is an Italian,
German, Frenchman or Irishman, as the
case may be, bat never in any case mean
reflection on a. class. For each indi-
vidual has character of his own sepa-
rate from his nationality. @

A correspondent of the american Nat
aralist states that doe was recently
shot near Minneapolis, MIMI, carrying
beautiful pair of antlers, each with four
ranches, and asks whether this is new
fact in natural history or not. To which
the editors reply that they have never
heard of female deer assuming the
character of male before; but il is q
we'll established fact that female birds,
living to an old age, often assume the
plumage, and to q certain extent the
habits of the male. In the museum of
the Peabody Academy of Science at
Salem, Mass, there is pea-hen that, in
the spring before her death, at the age of
nineteen years, changed her dull female
plumage for the bright pluuagc and full
trail of the male bird. N. Viekery, tax

Throughout the suburbs of the city

more extensively than ever known be-
fore. Turn where one viii, in the direc-
ton of Chelsea, ont Union avenue, and
beyond Fort Pickering, and numerous
patches Of corn, cotton and sweet pota-
toes, in addition to handsome vegetable
and fruit gardens, meet the eye. This is
encouraging, and shows that some of our
people ore beginning to comprehend the
fact that an scss or two of our good soil
in the suburbs, If cultivated, viii soon
pay for itself, and afterward become
valuable property. Memphis is young
city, and as its population increases the
greater demand for vegetables and fruit
in our markets will increase ip value
