A GAY PLACE IN WINTER.
The Impressions Of an Impressible Cor
respondent, who was SmitieD by the
Bright Eyes OF Memphis Girls.

"Faust," who philosophers from
Memphis all the way to the Courier
journal Office, expresses his notions of
pretty things here, in his own dry, hui
morous way, thusly: Memphis has
style Of beauty all its own.
Her bellies are piquant, dashing and
lively; the blondes and the brunettes
are about equally divided, and there is a
liberal sprinkling of the golden-hair,
only lately quite the rage, you know.
But the eyes Of Memphis girls are abso-
lutely unsurpassed; there is a limpid-
ness, depth, questioning playfulness,
a passion about them that IS perfectly
indescribable. They are deep, quiet,
starlit pools, laughing rivulets,
suddenly-kindled fires, or stormy
oceans, shoreless and fathom-
less. The dark eye holds the
ascendeney--if 1t be blue, its SO dark,
anon, that you'd ike It for black-and
the "cold, gray eye" Of the romance
writers is unknown among the bellies
and beauties Of Memphis. Frank, OPEN
hearted beings, too; plenty Of harmless
coquetry, winning eyes and languishing
looks, aud all that; sallies Of wit and
humoF to boot-all auxiliaries TO
the destructive batteries Of their
eyes-but as candid and straight
forward as the severest disciplinarian
could desire. Memphis is gay place in
winter; partakes Of the dash and aban-
don Of New Orleans itself-it Is noted in
that Vay--and here we had the charm
ers OF a hundred drawing rooms and
pariors before US all at once. They are
not backward here in the matter Of
style; bless you, no. Jennie june OK
Madame Denaorest herself dosen't keep
than do the Memphis ladies fact.

THEATRICAL.
Ths Past and Future week-VhaG was
Done, and what - 90 be DOne-

The 'JapsU win gather I'D their
creased poles and things and depart to-
day, to be followed by worthy success
sor in the person Of T. G.. Griggs, a pro-
team performer, who viii show forth
Shin Fame, whoever be is, to crowded
houses at the New Memphis Theater
every night this week. The japanese
did not do well. They had bad weather
to contend with. They had the elections
to fight. They had the Exposition run
ming ia opposition under their very
noses, and they had Miss Charlotte
Thompson 10 combat. In consequence
of all these adverse circumstances they
''drew badly" 1t is to be hoped that
Shine Fame win do better. He dances
Irish jigs, twirls q shellelah and shows
Off what is commonly thought TO be
Irish life. Shin Fame is an illustration
of Froud's text. Mr.. Griggs acts fine
parts in the piece, which has four acts.
1t will be performed every night.
During the past week, Miss Charlotte
Thompson, supported by good COM
pany, drew very fair houses at the Grand
Operahouse. 1t is regretable that so ex-
cellent an artist had so unfortunate
e)mbination of circumstances initiating
against her during the week Several
good pieces were successfully presented
during the week, and Miss Kate Reign
olds and Mr.. Davy made very favorable
impressions. Owing to the illness Of
Mr.. Norton, who was laid up at his no
tel with an attack Of fever, the piece
last night was the Lady Of Lyons instead
Of Jane Eyrie. The house was well
filed and with as select an audience as
on Friday night. Miss Thompson and
the company leave to-day. Tomorrow
Chabfrau VIII appear, supported by a
new company iraa st. Louis. The first
thing that they So q present is a comedy
in five acts entitled sam. It is in the
Dundreary style. Chanfrau and his
company viii draw full houses during
the week.
The Exposition this week viii give
series of entertainments that will draw
big crowds also. The programme is pub
lished in the Exposition article.

TENNESSEE.

NASHVILLE, November 9.-Further

certain that Brown is reelected Cover
nor by from three to five thousand ma
jority. Greeley's majority will be about

NASHVILLE, November 9.-The de-
feated parties in Tennessee are becOm-

inaugurated for the development of the

PACIFIC NOTES.
The California and Nevada Elections
Recaptare Of the BrOthertOn
FOrgers.

SAN Francisco, November 9.-The
elections in this State and Nevada were
very significant. In this State Cagen,
candidate for railroad monopoly, was
defeated by Lutteral by five hundred.
He ran three thousand six hundred and
ninety-eight behind his ticket. Page,
another railroad candidate, who is
elected, was behind Grant over four
thousand. In the Southern railway dis
trict named, both candidates were Of this
city, and the question was taken out of
politics. Kendall, of Nevada, who has
a good record against monopoly, was
elected, although the Democrats and
State went two thousand for Grant, and
J. p. Jones, opposed to railway mono
poly, secures a place in the United States
Senate.
The investigation into the affair Of the
escape Of the Brotherton forgers is
finished. 1t shows that the jsilers who
were removed have made revelations
that are disgraeeful. Nothing in the
least has been heard of the missing pri-
sOners.
Chief of Police Crowley, Sheriff
Adams, and a posse of twenty men
captured Brotherton, the forger, and
Riley tonight in this city. They had
been concealed, since their escape, in
the block adjoining the jail. Holly
pressed they tried TO escape. They took
a hack, but left that, and were over
taken in the outskirts. They were all
well armed, but made no resistance.
They are safely lodged in jail.
Charges have been made against the
Board Of State Harbor Commissioners
involving large sums.

THE DOCTORS.
what Stupid People They Are!!s-HOW
They Chop of their Noses and
Purses to support their
Dignity

Are the people and press to obey an
obsolete code Of professional ethics be-
cause doctors abide by it? A young
physician commends himself to New
York SdUdns by bis attainmeuts and
skill. An editor Of this city learns the
fact and uses it to encourage other South
ern young men in winning the highest
professional honOrs. The story is copied
into almost every Southern newspaper,
and proper respect is at once conceded to
the young surgeons skill. But because
the APPEAL made this proper and truth
ful publication (the APPEALS state
ments were proven true, that absurd
institution known as the Medical Asso-
citation objects to the accession to its
memberihip of the excellent and most
skillful and modest of all the fraternity,
this young NJ. D. He had violated the
code, innocently, it is true, in winning
supreme excellence, and then the great
crime was in its being made known.
The APPEAL had perpetrated a gross
outrage. We write this to say that the
young gentleman is not responsible for
this or the former article that referred to
him; that be deserves all that was said
Of him, and that he should now with
draw from body which stupidity suffers
quacks, by paying for advertisements,
to mOnopolize the profits Of a profession
in which educated gentlemen do all the
work and expend all the skill, reaping
not half their proper rewards. The doc
tors combine against the press; the press
now takes up the cudgel and proposes to
burst up the ring. If any three confess
edly learned and skillfIl NJ. DIS will
join US, we will make them rich, and
blow the society into the nethermost re-
gions Of nihility, whence it never should
have emerged.

q INCOG."
The Members Of the Fire Department
Hold an Indignation Meeting,
and DenOunee "IneOg"
as . Liar and
ScOundrel.
The Resolutions Adopted, and the Com
nsittee Appointed to look into
the Threatening 'sIneSg''
Letters.

Last Friday afternoon a meetingof the
present and ex-members of the Fire
Department was held at Number
Ones Engine house, on Adam
street. Mr.. James Dolan, engi-
neer of Number -Four Engine was
chosen Chairman, and calling the meet
ing to order stated its object to be to con-
slider certain letters published in that
mornings papers, by Mr.. L. ID. Ander-
son, their Chief The letters signed
"Incogn charges indiscuminately every
member of the Department, as well as
ex-members, as being assassins. This
was untrue, and the meeting had been
called to consider those letters, and TO
take action upon them.
Mr.. John Deniger was elected Secrc-
| tary.
On motion, Mr.. James Stokes was ap-
pointed committee OF one to wait upon
Mr.. Anderson and procure the letters.
The Chief brought the letters in person
and turned them over to the Chairman.
He said that the letters had been deliv-
cred to him by the letter-boy, at Chief
Athy's office. As to whether the state
ments were true or not he did not know,
but he did not think that any memberOf
the Fire Department was connected with
the conspiracy, if any, as he considered
all firemen his friends. The object of the
letters in all probability was to frighten
him, and be pledged himself to aid the
members Of the department in every
way in ascertaining the truth or falsity
of the charges.
The Chief then retired, when the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t is with feelings of great
surprise and regret that we this morning
see in the papers two letters from per-
son styling himself ''Incog." to Mr.. +.
d. Anderson, our Chief, and his reply to
the same; and
Whereas, in those letters it is
charged that certain members of the
Fire Department are cOnspiring to get
Chief Anderson out of the department,
by any means, even to assassination
while in the discharge Of his duties;
therefore, be it
Resolued, BY the members of the Fire
Department here assembled, that we
one and ali most solemDly disclaim any
knowledge Of any such conspiracy, and
we do here brand the charges made by
'riIncog," as eowardly, villainous, and
false, and we challenge him to bring
forward the proofs of the charges made
by him, and which are intended to COM
promise the character of every member
Of the Fire Department, without distinc-
ton.
ResolUed, That we will, by every
means in our power, endeavor to estab-
lish the identity of the cowardly traducer
Incog,n so that he may be made to
publicly retract the slanderous charges
made by him in the letters published in
to-day's papers.
A committee composed of Messrs.
James Stokes, James Cleary, James Do
Ian and John Deniger, was appointed in
accordance with the above resolutions.
The meeting then adjourned.
