HEADLAND HOME; Or, A SoUL's Pill
GRIMAGE, is the title of a work from the
pen OF Emily PierpOnt de Lesdernier, who
Is now in the city with a view to secure
subscriptions from the public of Memphis,
but especially from the members of the
Masonic fraternity, of which her father
and brother were in their lifetime active
members. We have not had time to eX-
anime as to the merits of this work. of
Madame LesdernieT, and cannot, there-
fore, commend IL of our own knowledge.
But we can offer testimony from high
sources as TO its literary excellence and
purity of tone. sufficient to serve as an
Incentive to our readers to become sub
serihers and readers for it. Henry I.
Tuckerman says: 1t is an exposition Of
WOmanlV experience. It Is ia fact a
memoir, cast in the form OF a romance; it
deals with facts of life and phases as we'll
as crises. of feeling, described with grace
and candor. The characters are evidently
drawn from life, and the story and style
will interest those who delight ia autobi-
ographies OF sentiment" And the New
York Citizen very good authority ia lite
rary mattersl saws. "There is a healthful
tone generally p~ervading these pages of
Madame Lesdernier, which, in our day of
m,awkish sentiment, is alone sufficient to
eammend her book to the favor of the
pwbiic. 1t is neither the. dull nor flip
naut writing hat we usually meet with
Ia autobiography. 1t makes no preten-
sions to anything beyond. It is heart
speaking unto heart, and the tenderly de-
picted sufierings of its author will nc
a0u0t find an echo in many a woman's
nature" And the New York Home JoHr-
sal says: ANY book bearing this lady's
name Is bound TO meet with d good re-
eeption; but the present one is especially
interesting, being a sort OF autobiOgra-
phy, This lady's life has been a very va
ried n remarkable one, and its story
Iaust be well worth perusal." We un-
derstsnd it is the determination of Mad
aINe Lesdernier, under the auspices of the
masonic Order. to give, while in our city,
a series of readings, a character OF enter
tainuaeat for which, we understand, she
is admirably fitted, and for which she mas
a lready won high praise from the press in
OF her parts OF the country. We hope she
viii find sale for her book, and a large al
die nee whenever she shall present her
as "a reader"
AAroNe the new publications which
the new years mail brought to our Office,
we found the arkansas Journal Of EdUcG-
zion. a very neatly printed quarto, e.iited

SAD CASUALTY.
Tie Little Daughter Of S. C. TOOf, Esq, Sc
yerely Burned.

We are panied to be compelled to an
nOunee a most terrible and heart-rendiBg
casualty which occurred on Sunday morn
ing last, and which has plunged the tami-
ly of a well known and most estimable
citizen in grief, and perhaps mourning.
On Sunday morning, while the family
were at church, the little daughter, aged
eleven years, undertook to build a fire in
a stove. Lighting a piece of paper TO
touch off the kindling-wood, after she had
done so, she dropped it on the floor in
front of the stove. Ia continuing her eff
forts to make the fire burn, she came too
near the burning paper, and her under
clothing caught fire, and before aid could
come to her she was burned so terribly
that up to yesterday evening her life was
despaired OF.
We are informed that last night a more
favorable opinion was entertained by the
attendant physicians, and that hopes are
entertained of her recovery.

ADJUSTMENTS.


MEMPHIS THEATER.-In spite of the
cold. clustering weather, the Memphis
Theater was well filled last night, to see
Mrs. d. p. Bowers in her great role OF
Camille. OF Mrs. Bowers as an actress, it
is as unnecessary to speak, as or Mr.. Jet
terS0n rs an actor. The two stand at the
head of the American stage, and we doubt
ifthey lave their peers among all those
who speak the English language. With
out particuiarizing, we can say that Mrs.
Bowers is well supported, and our theater-
goers will have a week of rare enjoyment.
Tonight We have "Nelle Gwyn," with
Mrs. Bowers in the title role.
The managers of u pleasant, comfort
able and attractive theater, determined to
sustain their reputation as caterers for
the public, rave engaged, for one week,
commencing on Monday next, the Grau
Opera Troupe, composed OF Marie Fred
erici, Franz Heimer, Hableman. FOrmes
and HerInauns, artists of already high re-
pute with the Memphis public. From a
repertoire comprising all the standard
operas, they W selected for the enter
tainment of our music-lovers. The
Magic Flute" "La Dame Blanche"
- Der Freyschutz," don Giovanni"
and "La Juive." From this we think
our people viii be able to enjoy a brief
season of opera, such as seldom offers be-
y OAu ~ AAAAAAB VI iAt a ACl NAAANo VI NAIG
country; and they may reasonably expect
that these standard works will be inter-
preted in a style and with an effectiveness
that viii leave nothing to be desired.
That the scenery and dressing will be ap-
propriate there is no rOom to doubt, ii the
ARRESTS already afforded by the managers
are to be taken at their value. In " Der
Freyschutz" the Incarnation scene will
be given in true artistic style; and in
La Dame Blanche" Habieman prom
ises to give us that most sweet of Scottish
ballads, robin Adair." Everything
has been promised hat can in any way
conduce to an enjoyable season of opera;
but not one word has been said as 70 the
orchestra, which last year was misersbly
deficient and defective. So, too, was the
chorus. This last was very thin as TO
voice, but stunning as to physique. We
warn the managers in time, and hope to
see the orchestra as full as the combined
instruments of the opera troupe and the
theater will admit of. And let US have a
respectable showing of people IN the
chorus. With the orchestra and chorus
properly attended to, we think u read
ers may get ready for the opera, and be
assured of something rare and worthy
their support.

THE COUNTY U
Lively Meeting Yesterday---seven Justices
Ruled Out.

Pursuant to motion of adjournment, the
County Court convened yesterday. Their,
were present nearly all of the country
justices and all the city justices, except
Squire Hall.
Squire Bleckly took the chair, and after
calling the Court to order, the bonds o.
'Squires Crews, Bell, Stone and Irby, re-
Gently elected, were presented and ap-
proved.
The report of the committee of three,
consisting of 'Squires II. q. Jones, J. II.
GoodIett and Ii. :. L. Gibbs, appointed al
the primary meeting on the credentials Of
the magistrates of the Fifth and Four
teenth Civil districts, was presented and
read. 1t reports favorably on Justices
Ed. Herman and T. b. Mynatt, of the
Fifth, and justices Hall, Moore and
Swami of the Fourteenth, throwing out
Justices Cook, Burke, Norton, Willard
Griffith, Elliott, Foley and Black.
This created a ~eOnmotion. All of the
latter named justices were present and
had their seats, and announced their de-
termination to hold them. One of them
moved TO table the report, but the motion
to table was promptly voted down. Mo
tons to adjourn were also made and
shared the same fate. The confusion
lasted for some tire, and much was said
which we do not care to, report. At one
time il was proposed to order the Sheriff
to clear the room, but milder councils
prevailed and the disappointed gentlemen
finally withdrew alter fling a protest
against the report, which was adopted by
a vote of 16 TO Id.
The Court then went intoan election for
permanent organization.
Justices Bleck1y, Brewer and Hill were
put in nomination for chairman, aud the
nrst ballot resulted in the choice Of Jus
tice Becky. 'Squires Hume L. Hur and
Henry Jones were elected associate JUS
tees.
AS soon as the permanent organization
was effected, the protest spoken OF above
was ordered to be spread on the minutes
of the Court.
An order was made requiring the Chair
man ana Associate Justices to take steps
TO ascertain the actual outstanding in
debtedness of the county.
An order was made requiring the Clerk
of the County Court to turn over the tax
books to Collector Mclean forthwith.
The Court then fixed the pay of the tax
assessors, and AFTER trausacting some
further, business adjourned.
