for the benefit Of st. Bridget's Church.
An adjourned meeting of the Boards
of Aldermen and Common Council will

ture at the Greenlaw Opera House for
the benefit of the orphans.
Mansford has received CARLOAD of
late papers and another lot of the illus
trated Heather Chinee, with the smile
that was child-like and bland"
Emmons & Son, newsdealers, on JEFF
ferson and Beal, have received the latest
papers from the North, South, East and
West, and all portions of Europe.
This is Good Friday, day generally
observed throughout the Christian world.
The gold and stock boards of New
York and other cities were not in session
to-day in consequence. "
The Recorder disposed of twenty
seven cases to-day and collected seventy
dollars as fines. Peter Morgan was sent
to jail on the charge of garroting and
robbing Dan Kearns of thirty dollars on
the levee last evening.
The Emmett Guards presented fine
martial appearance last evening while
acting as escort to Mr.. Train. 1t is to
be regretted that the misunderstanding
existing between the Guards and the So
dality band prevented the attendance of
the latter in the procession last evening.
UNITED we stand" etc.
An immense audience attended the
Grain lecture last night. The ladies
turned out in force to hear the popular
talker. An exhaustive lecture on wo-
mans rights and wrongs, social, political
and legal, would be largely attended by
gentlemen and ladies out of sheer
curiosity.
The mosquito bills presented last
evening were Indignantly rejected; con-
sequently the holders played Shylock
and undertook to collect blood instead
of money. AS the debtors cannot get
an injunction even in Memphis, they
purpose setting up a plea in bar before
night.
In the First Circuit Court, few days
since, the Gayoso Gas Company OBJ
tanned a judgment against the city for
$1,000 of stock subscription, being bal
ance due by the city to the gas company
on the original subscription of $4,000,
but which balance the city refused to
pay until compelled so to do by law.
The great armies of Cabral and Baez,
in San Domingo, number about four
hundred men each, and are commanded
by ten general officers. The police force
of Memphis could dispense both armies
and put the mule-mounted negro gem
erals in the station-house, and in that
event our city Recorder could settle the
Dominican question.
We direct attention to the advertise
ment of the new firm of MADDEN d
Avery. They are business men, capa-
BILE, enterprising, reliable and accom-
modating. The public will consult its
interest by giving them patronage.
The house of David P. MADDEN 4 Co. is
well known to the public. The addition
of Mr. Avery will add to its well estab-
lished strength and influence.
The crowd of confidence sharpers in
the city is becoming an intolerable
nuisance. Hardly a day passes by but
some act of robbery is committed. I'm
suspecting country people are entitled
to some protection and these dens of
swindling ought to be abated. The
chain-gang would be the proper place
for the confidence gang.
Mr.. w. B. Greenlaw exchanged with
Comptroller Pennebaker few days since
thirty-six thousand dollars in Tennessee
bonds and coupons for like amount of
Memphis city coupons. These city cou-
pons the city refused to pay to the State,
so Mr.. Pennebaler says, because the
city has a claim for Confederate money
paid into the bank of Tennessee while
South that was designed as an Offset.
Attention is invited to the card of
Moseley & Phillips, physicians. These
gentlemen have established their Office
at No. IL Court street, formerly occu-
pied by DIR. Creighton. They are from
Pamela county, Mississippi, and have
located in Memphis to practice their pro
fession. Long experience, great prac-
tice and much study have made them
eminent in all branches of it. We have
known them many years, and confidently
commend them to the confidence and
patronage of the people of Memphis.
