Amusements.

BLACK Crook. "A delighted audience
crowded the Memphis Theater last even
ing. Transformation succeeded trans
formation until the audience was per-
fectly bewildered. The ballet troupe,
consisting of Miles DeVere, Myer, Des-
par LeClair, Young and host of cory
phees, all under the direction of Sig.
Cellini, went through the evolutions in
brilliant manner. The wonderful and
graceful movements of Mile DeVere
were vociferously applauded. The
comic phases we're not ignored. The
character songs of Collins, ventriloquism
by Professor Hilton, olio specialties, the
Hernandez troupe of Imperial Japs and
other things too numerous to mention,
made up most pleasing performance.
Straus' dazzling transformation scene,
entitled Loves Bower" is a wonderful
effort. The scenic effect is very fine,
displaying brilliant grottoes, classical
groupings, floating divinities, and all
brought out into bold relief by aid of
colored lights. The theater will be
crowded during the week by the lovers
of the spectacular drama.
PANORAMA OF THE PILGRIM s PROGRESS
This attractive exhibition of paintings,
consisting of religious and historical
scenes, continues to Gil the Assembly
Hall every evening. The progress Of
the Pilgrim through temptations on to
the haven of rest is graphically portray
ed on canvas. An attractive and lucid
explanation of the scenes is made by the
conductor as the canvas rolls on.

tons as entirely complete the combina

ment. Manager Broom is determined
not to be outstripped by any like estab
lishment in the country.

A Bone Yard.

Last evening the workmen digging the
foundation for the new building, on
Shelby street, near Gayoso, came across
an old vault, within which we're found
the skeletons of four human beings.
Speculation was at a loss to locate the
life period of these bones. Sensation
said murders had been committed, and
men had mysteriously disappeared in
this locality many years ago. The anti
quarians insisted that the bones formerly
belonged to the hidalgoes that strutted
on the bluffs under DeSoto. Others of a
more speculative turn of mind limited
that the vestiges belonged to the pre-
Adamite period of time. The skull
thrown up by the grave-diggers may, as
Hamlet's friend says, be the pate of a
politician, one that would circumvent
the devil, or courtier, which could say
GOOD morrow, sweet lord, or of a law
yer with his cases, tenures and tricks, OF
great buyer of land with his fines
statutes and vouchers. The bones were
not recognized, however, and were cast
into the Mississippi river.

Chamber OF Commerce.

At special meeting held yesterday,
the committee on tax reforms presented
an elaborate report, recommending an
Endorsement of the resolutions adopted
at the Greenlaw Opera House citizens
meeting. The County Court is to be re-
quested to remit the privilege tax on
merchants. The report wound up with
a general onslaught on the present sys-
TEN of ruinous taxation. The following
resolution was adopted by the meeting
prior to its adjournment:
Resolved, that the Chamber of Com
merce fully approve of the report just
read, and that every member of the
Chamber hereby pledges himself to carry
out the objects Of said report by person
al and political influence, and that a
committee of five be appointed by the
chair to lay the matter before the County
Court and the city authorities.

The nIractorx Ruslne.n.

A perfect and reliable business direc-
tory is an absolute need in city. The
compilers of a directory ought to be
men thoroughly acquainted not only
with the business but with the people of
the district they canvass. The publish
ers ought to be men who have reputa-
ton to lose, so that they can feel sense
of the responsibility resting upon them
when they propose issuing a work
wherein every citizen expects to find not
only his own but his neighbours name
printed most accurately. For years
there has not been reliable directory
of this city published. Those hereto
fore issued from the press have been sull
Of the grossest Inaccuracies and blum
ders. A mythical institution, edthe
Southern Publishing Company, has had
an imaginary existence in half dozen
cities, and this bogus house has issued
what is known as Edwards Memphis
Directory for 1872" This work, just
issued will not bear strict scrutiny. We
had occasion to sean it closely, and was
astonished to find in it so many blunderS
and gross errors. The names of many
of our best known citizens are not print
ed in its pages, and even among those
that appear, errors as TO business and
locality occur frequently. There is no
excuse for this objectionable lack of
information on the part Of the compilers
who displayed an ignorance of the very
first principles of directory-making.
Edwards Memphis directories, as in the
past, SO in the present, are unmitigated
humbugs, of little use to the mercantile
community, because inaccurate. The
question arises, Why cannot some Mem
phis publishing house get up q reliable
city directory? 1t can be done, and
should be done quickly, so that it can
supercede the so-called directories at
present in circulation. Acting upon this
idea, the well-known house of Boyle q
Chapman, on Main street, has already
commenced q thorough canvass of the
city, and will, ere long, give the public a
complete directory-reliable, accurate
and entirely destitute of those glaring
errors so annoying. Home enterprise
should be sustained in preference to that
which is reflected from Northern cities
The new directory of Boyle & Chapman
will be regarded as authority, and will be
in the hands of every business man
Having something to stake and lose in
this community, these gentlemen will
spare no pains to make the directory
perfect in detail; and we are willing tt
risk the statement that, for accuracy anC
mechanical work, such as printing anC
binding, the new directory will by fal
excel anything ever before offered to thu
Memphis public. h

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of our leading

MELAScHoLY.-Twelve Of our leading
citizens, in files Of two, and in charge Of
deputy sheriff, paraded Second street,
near Court Square, last evening. Our
reporter becoming indignant that 90
many good men and true should have
this indignity put upon them with impu-
nifty, interviewed the fierce looking dep
uty sheriff, who mildly informed our
representative that the citizens were not
criminals, although under duress. They
were merely jurors in felony case on
trial in the Criminal Court, but the laws
of the land ordained that, while consid-
ering the case, the jurors should hold no
intercourse with their fellow-men. This
is the law as printed in Blackstone, but
how ridiculous it appears in the light Of
the nineteenth century, and especially
in this land Of ours. But law being, as
it is called, the perfection of reason,
must be right, Of course.

OK TRIAL.-F. A. Shreyer, the special
deputy sheriff who killed Magistrate
John Norton in South Memphis some
months since, was placed on trial to-day
on an indictment charging murder in
the first degree. 1t will be remembered
that Shreyer went to Norton's house in
order to execute writ, and a contro-
versy sprang up between the two which
resulted in a personal combat, during
which Schreyer, who had been knocked
down, drew a pistol and fred, fatally
wounding Norton. The trial of the
case will probably close tomorrow
evening.

Reports from the upper country show
decline in the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, although there has been consider
able improvement in both these streams.
The Illinois has improved also, and the
lower Missouri, as well as the Ohio, be-
low Cincinnati, is swelling. The latter
stream has eight feet to Evansville, and
a foot less to Louisville. The lower
tributaries are swelling, with the excep-
ton of the Arkansas, which is now fall
ing slowly, after reaching a hight nearly
equal to that Of the great food of 1874.
The weather is cloudy here, with light
