Amusements.
MEMPHIS THEATER. The Abbott Pam
tomime Troupe-from Fisk's Opera
House, New York--will commence a
weeks engagement at the theater, next
Monday evening, The Three Hunoh-
backs is a pantomime of the sterro-
type sort, with not great deal in it
which has not been seen before, and
will not be seen again--yet we do not
know that people are any more weary of
the venerable fun than they were an
hundred years ago. Clown" Panta-
loon and Columbine " have an eter-
nal freshness about them, like the snow
which comes with each winter. the flow
ers which come with each spring. The
old tricks, the old jokes, the old grim
aces carry their charm on from genera
ton to generation, and as long as there
are children Of larger and smaller
growth to be amused, it is probable they
will have pantomimes played for them.
This pantomime far excels the Three
Blind Mice or Humpty Dumpty, which
were SO popular in this city last season.
BRooM s.---Great attractions will be
presented at the Jefferson Street Opera
House tonight. Manager Broom has
secured the services Of fine troupe of
variety artists. The programme Sc
lected for this evening is filed with
novelties of the most attractive char
acter.
OLYMPIC VARIETIES. = Crowds con-
tinue to frequent the Washington Street
Olympic every evening. Manager Lusk
manages to present frst-class variety
performance. His troupe consists of
vocalists, ballet dancers and speciality
act performers unequaled in the South.
The popular Can-can will be produced
tonight
TIvoLI-Grand concert tonight by
the Bohemian concert troupe.

ii TRASK'S TRASH.

FROM The N. II. World " t1i14A.A h "a s8nEEHsl
There is auiDscrutable person named Traskl
who has been filled@ith the'cenviction that
the leof of tobacco is the root Of all evil,
end who perambulates the country proclaim
ing that original but not undisputed ebotani-l
Gel theory. He has been doing it. to a limited
extent, in this city. There jsa charming aud
almost. feminine absence of scientific preci-l
sion and specification in the inyectiyes of
Trask which makes bis contemporaneous
"counterblastp particularly lively reading
According TO the viyacioas but vague Mr..
Trask smoking ''hardens the heart against
religious influences" and is "a great impedi-
ment to. the conversion of sinners-', Imagi-
nation fondly and yainly to trace the
physiological processes "a by which
the tissue of the heart becomes so
obdurated by tobacco as to be einsuseeptible,
to the religious Influences" brought to bear
upon it by Mr.. Trask, but he does not satisfy
our natural and Ingenious curiosity. But
for his positive assertion one might suppose
that il was the manner in which the religious
influences were welded by Irask, and not the
fubginous obstacles in his way, which made
his preaching so Intellectual upOu the tobacco
hardened heart. But tobacco not only
hardeps the heart. 1t beelouds the reason
and is 'the cause Of ipbeciiity." The 1eve-
rend Mr.. Trask, provided his practice COIN
cidts with his precepis, Is ashining example
of the truth that man need not smoke in
order to be feeble of understanding,
but thAt abstinence and imbecility
are altogether compatible. Finally,
civilian Lloyd Garrison, Senator
Wilson, and General Banks were quoted as
self-made men who were free from that
habit" The zeal of Mr.. Trask oyerleaps
itself If it could be shown that the quail
ties Of Garrison and Wilson and Banks were
connected with their abstinence from tobacco,
the ambitious yonth of America would rush
to the consumption of nDheard-of quantities
of tobacco for fear of finding themselves
Garrisons and Wilson's and Bankses, or even
persons like the Reverend Mr. irrask, OF
whom it may fairly be said, aas johnson
said Of one Of his contemporaries, that he
has only one idea in his head, aud that
a wrong one. There are class of moral
quaoks who propcupd some simple specific
as panacea for the moral Ills, as the medical
quaek submits his nostrup as "A panAcea for
the physical ills thet flesh ~ heir 20. The
only effect these moral specialists han is to
bring down undeseryed and undiscrininating
ridicnle upon causes which, With certain
qualifications aud within certain limits, may
be very proper and commendable causes
Among these intemperhte fanaties Of tenn
peTanee there is not one more foolish ar more
miscbievous than the Reverend Mr.. Trask.
