ADJUSTMENTS.
ORPHANS BENEFIT To NIGHF.-The
benefit for the Orphans of Lauderdale,
Miss, comes off this evening at the Green
law Opera House. Thirty little perform
ers, who are travelling the country
for the benefit of their Institution, will
present themselves on the stage and de-
light the numerous audience that we hope
will attend the meritOrious entertain
ment. The object of this entertainment
is to assist in paying of q hoayy debt that
hangs over the o~rphanage, where two
hundred little ones n homes and proper
attend snce.
EdiGHs AppeaE-At the close of the war
in 1861, when our southland had been
laid in ruins by the modern Duke of Alva,
the cry OF famine-gaunt, holloW-eyed
famine-was heard from the people Of
South Carolina and North Alabama, and
the heart of Greeley was made glad, and
the heErts Of the generous made sad. In
answer to their wall for bread Chicago
rendered them arsenic nj bullets. In
the presence of the great calamity which
has laid her in ashes and driven forth q
hundred thousand people, naked, hungry
and penniless, our people forget the cruel
mockery, and send literally of food,

starvation and death. This is noble and
worthy their ancient renown. But peo-
pie of Memphis, will your liberty and
noble deeds stop here? Will you turn q |
desf ear to the appeal of the orphans of the
lead soldiers who gave their lives to de-
fend you from the ruthless invader? To-
night, at the Greenlaw Opera, the orphans
give q concert to raise funds to build a
house to shelter them at Lauderdale, Mis-
sissippi. Memphis contributed $50, coo for
the relief of Chicago. Will our people 1
give one 1.-THE of that sum to the support
Of the children of the men who died to
give us freedomY We shall see. Let the
opera house be filed from pit to dome,
MINOR MERIWErHER.
