MEMPHIS THEATER.-Ofenbachs La
Grande Duchess was presented last
evening by the Aimee French Opera
Bouffe Troupe. The reception of Aimee
was most hattering, the theater being
filed to overlooking by critical and
fashionable audience. The opera was
attractively presented by the troupe.
When Aimee appeared she was received
with perfect storm of applause, which
was renewed on more than one occasion
during the evening. The audience was
startled into excitement by the unusual
display oflpersonal beauty, finished art
in acting and in vocalization, all joined
to voice whose round, full, clear, sym
pathetic qualities have seldom, very sell
dom, been equalled by the best of Italian
primas. The blending of q musical
voice of unusual culture, of irresistible
mirth, extraordinary grace, personal
beauty and histrionic power, turns criti-
cism into eulogy, and has upon her audi
ences the exhilarating effect of pure wine.
Nothing could have been better than
Aimees rendition of that stirring song,
La Sabre de mon Pere," and she was
compelled to accept three encores. The
drinking song, in third act, was another
gem that gave the Queen of Opera
Bouffe an opportunity to display fine
vocal powers and captivating acting. In
the love scene between the Grand
Duchess" and Fritz" (Mr. Noe) the act
ing of both was charming in the extreme,
and created we'll deserved applause
among the audience. Take it all in all,
the Aimee Opera Boufe is the most at
tractive performance that has been pre-
scented in this city. Tonight Often
bach's La Perichole will be given,
with Aimee in her unrivsled role of La
Perichole, and Mr.. Noe as RequillO. A
New York critic says of Aimee's La
Perichole in that city:
The mixture Of pathos. sorrow and humor.

AIeweler sHindIed.

Not many days since well-known
gambler named Hart entered the jewelry
store of Barnum & Co., and asked to
look at valuable gold watch and chain,
marked three hundred dollars. Hart
had made several purchases of jewelry
at the store, and when he stated that he
knew a person to whom be could sell the
watch and chain, no demurrer was en-
tered to his request to be permitted to
take the watch out for an hour or two.
Not returning for several days, the po-
lice were appealed to. 1t was soon dis
covered that Hart had sold the watch
for one hundred and fifty dollars, and
then, to use slang phrase, Jumped
the town with the swag." This was
very unkind in Mr.. Hart, and clearly
proved that he had no heart to beat in
response to confidence The police are
on the track of the ungrateful Hart, who,
no doubt, will have to return and come
to time on the charge of obtaining goods
under false pretences. His brethren Of
the round table bitterly denounce the
conduct Of Hart as ungentlemanly and
unprofessional in the extreme.

THE MISSISSIPPI BOTTOMS.

No sane man will admit that if the
Mississippi river ran through the North
the Federal Government would not ex-
pend millions in building levees to pro-
tect its bottoms from overflow If the
Government can construct railroad to
the Pacific, surely il may protect the
country from overflow But unfortu-
nately, the mighty river Of the cont
nent flows to the South and empties
into the Gulf of Mexico. To legal
minds the South is odious, and nothing
Southern is to be brought under the care
of the Government. And yet we hear
of the unity Of States, and the equality
of races. Base hypocrisy Shameful
attempt at deception 1t has been
asserted, and the assertion has been
taken for fact and banked on, that
no Northern man holding Northern
opinions can safely live in the South.
II was known to be false when asserted,
but it is true that the treatment of the
South by the Government is well calcu-
lated to frighten Northern men away
from it, The supposition with them is
perfectly legitimate, that people
wronged and outraged by their section
would not be likely to receive them as
friends. And thus emigration is pre-
vented, and thus the old fellowship of
the Union is delayed. But the fact that
the Government lavishes all its favors on
the North, is conclusive in the minds of
emigrants that if they settle in the South
they have no favors to expect OF
it. And this wrong done the South
is greater than disfranchisement
of classes, because it effects the whole
body of the people. The States, acting
separately, are not able to levy the
Mississippi river. Even John c. Cal
houn, the great apostle of strict con-
struction, admitted that the Government
might improve river that washed the
shores of two or mere States. There is
with the ruling party no pretense that
there is any limit of power Of the Gov
eminent except the will of those who
control it, There is no constitutional
scruple about the power to levy the Mis-
sissippi, and thus reclaim millions Of
acres of the finest lands of the world
from overflow. The bald mountains and
the blasted plains of the West attract
the attention of Congress. The deserts,
upon which the foot of man has never
stepped; the gorges Of the mountains,
the homes of wild beasts and eagles are
duly looked after, but the river that
drains a continent and periodically
overAows and submerges territory sufi-
cient for an empire, is not TO be held
within its bounds because it runs
through the South. But the malignants
cannot live forever, and the time will
come when the valley of the lower Mis-
sissippi will be reclaimed and brought
into cultivation.

rns prs.,aens,. island Array.


John White, the negro who was ar
rested on Presidents Island by the
Sheriff posse last Sunday, was brought
before Esquire Hall for examination
yesterday afternoon. The facts brought
to light change materially the features of
the sensation. II seems that White and
Mitchell had a difficulty on the Friday
previous. Deputy Sheriff Radigan, when
he landed on the island to arrest White.
on peace warrant sworn out by
Mitchell, was met by several armed ne
groes, who went with him to Whites
residence. From thence they marched
TO Dan Smith cabin, where White was
said to be, Before Sheriff Radigan got
down from his horse, the negro Mitchell,
with whom White had the difficulty, en-
tered the house, shotgun in hand, and
cried out, Come out here" White see
ing his old enemy armed, rushed into a
back room, got Dan Smiths gun, and
both fred about the same time-Mitch-
ell falling MORALLY wounded. The
house was then surrounded by the armed
posse and the seige commenced in earn
est. Seven negroes were shot by White,
and two guns captured during the COM
bat. OF these seven, two are dead and
others are lying on the boundary line OF
the other world. White says that he
knew he would have been murdered by
the negroes if he had surrendered to
them, but if the white men who had
authority had approached the house and
demanded surrender, he would gladly |
have obeyed. Several witnesses will be
examined before Squire Hall at ii
o clock tomorrow morning, to which |
time the further examination was con-
tinued. Mr.. Brass appeared as counsel
for the State, and Mr.. J. W. Smith for
the defendant.
AN INQUEST.
This morning Coroner Moffatt was
to Presidents Island to hold
an inquest on the body of John Hull,
who died last night from the effect of
wounds received during the siege of Fort
White on Sunday last.
