MEMPHIS THEATER,-To.night Mr.. AL
bert w. Aiken, the celebrated colloquial
actor, will introduce his great realistic
play of the Witches of New York, at the
Memphis Theater. The piece is heavily
billed and has all the indications of a
thoroughly attractive sensation about it,
and there is little doubt that it will fill
the house this week beyond the extent
reached by the popular Mr.. Byron.
From a reading of the bill, together with
the eulogistic extracts from the press Of
other cities, we take it the play will be
far more interesting and entertaining
than either of Mr.. Byron's plays that
drew so well last week, and we shall GER
tainly expect to see the theater crowded
from pit to dome if the performances
come up to our present anticipations.
BRooM's OPERA HoUsE.-This week
Manager Broom will introduce to the
habitues of his popular Jefferson street
Opera House, some bran new faces and
original and entertaining acts. Among
the new appearances will be the old
time favorite, Fernando Fleury, who
was so popular at Broom's last season
in his lightning comic changes and pop
ular songs. Manager Marsh Adams
will introduce his new original Eth
opian sketch of "0le Black Joe at
Home" and any one who has ever heard
Marsh Adams in one of his popular
acts, will know what to expect from this.
With all the attractions the combined
skill of Manager Broom and Stage Man
ager Adams will produce at the Temple
of Menus this week, there can be no
question as to the attendance.
OLYMPIC VARIETIES evening
the Olympic Varieties will shise with
resplendant brilliancy under the illumi-
nation of gas jets and brilliant stars.

La Belle Flora, the most accomplished

Prot. Charles Henrie and Masters Tom

and the entire strength of the company
viii be brought out in lively, laughable
and entertaining style. Everybody

FIRE LAST NIGHT.-Just one month
ago last night D. G. Mayo & Bros tobacco
factory was destroyed by fire. Last night
about ten o'clock the tobacco factory of
James Turner, on Leigh between Foushee
and Adams streets. was burned. The
alarm was promptly given, and the fire de-
partmeut as promptly responded. .n
Owing to the inhammable nature Of the
building, it was beyond human power to
save it, but the engines did noble service in
saving surrounding property from destruc-
ton. Several buildings took fire from the
burning factory. We have not learned the
amount of Mr.. Turner'S loss, but are in
informed that his stock and fixtures were
insured in the Liverpool and London Globe,
Davenport Il Co., agents, for So, 800. This
will probably cover the loss. The origin of
the fire is at present unknown. Fri.

No ONE has come to the dish of crow

He fancied the Cincinnati Convention would
find in him all the convenient qualities for

Tribune chung to this notion with despera-
ton, when by withdrawing him they might
have secured the nomination of Adams.
Thus they allow Greeley to slip in, who, Of
all possible candidates, was the hardest pill
for them to swallow. For Greeley was
wont to describe the Chicago Tribune, since
Whites management, as 'sa foolish concern
out West, which does its best to degrade
the name of Tribune" and he had charged
Trumbull with having been bribed to vote
against the impeachment of Andrew John
son, and of having put his son up to bet
