The CIeburne saloon.

This popular place of resort offers
new attractions to the public. For years
has the Cleburne, on Adams street,
fourished beneath the able management
Of Mr.. Duffy. whose popularity is only
equaled by his worth as man. During
the summer Mr.. Duffy travelled in Eu-
rope, and purchased q large lot of the
purest Spanish and French wines, Eng
lish and Irish WHISTLES, brandies, rum,
etc. These goods are now beipg re-
ceived by Messrs. Duffy & Bowes, pro-
prietors of the Cleburne. who keep the
best Of foreign importations, as well as
the purest and Oldest Kentucky whis-
kies, Mr.. Duffy, during his prolonged
tour, visited the wine.making establish
ments of Europe, and the most eele-
brated distilleries in Great Britain and
Ireland, Being judge of the article,
and knowing the critical taste of the
Mempeis public, he purchased largely OF
the finest brands, much to the astonish-
ment Of our cousins over the water, who
believe Americans are no judges of Irish
whisky. Those visiting the Cleburne
saloon can always procure the real ar
ticle-pure and agcd-without adulter-
alton. A word to the wise is sufficient.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-The Witches of
New York was presented at the theater
last night to full house by Mr.. Albert
W. Aiken, supported by full company
from New York. The play is decidedly
sensational, and abounds in interesting
incidents and thrilling tableauxs Mr..
Aiken's reception was very hattering,
and he has cause to be proud OF the
manner in which he was welcomed by
an intelligent and discriminating Mem
phis audience. Mr.. j. o. Seton gave
a good representation Of a Tombs law
yer, perhaps not bad delineation of
Horace Greeley, but miserable repre-
sentation of reporter, which surpassed
even the extravaganza of burlesque.
Miss Mary Stevens gave a very accept
able rendition of the character Of Sue,
the Orange Girl, and "Coralie, the Ac-
tress.Yi Mr.. w, H. Meeker. as David
Van Rensselaer,, and Mr.. Charles War
wick, as Isaac Abrahams," were first
rate, and the other characters likewise
good. The play will be repeated to-
night, when the house will no doubt be
crowded, as the Witches of New York
is Just such piece as usually draws.

AcoIDENTAL.-While Colonel w. I.
Avery and two Of his children were com.
ing into the city yesterday in their rock
away they were suddenly precipitated
among mass of broken timbers by the
giving way of one of gthe insecure
bridges beyond the terminus of the Pop
lar street turnpike. A number of farm
hands working near by came to Colonel
Avery's assistance, and rescued the I'M
fortunates without any other damage
than the total sacrifice of the harness
and considerable injury to the bridge.

Resolutions UnnuimousIy Adopted
by Sc. Andrews Society, October

II 4.
Whereas, we have read with profound
regret and deep pain an obituary notice
in the Masonic Jewel OF our deceased
brother, Duncan Maclean;
Be it, therefore, resolved, That we re-
pudiate said obituary notice as being
grossly unjust to the deceased; while he
had some OF the frailties incident to
erring humanity, no man had more of
the lofty attributes Of his race.
Resolved That the deceased was en-
deared to US by his manly, generous,
cordial companionship and association;
that we approve that magnanimitywhich
commands us to speak no evil Of the
dead, who are not hereto defend them
selves, and that we deplore that one so
dear to US should have his memory
aspersed by false and unjust portrait
ure Of his character.
RESOLVED, That Duncan Maclean was
one Of the brightest ornaments Of this
society-one of its most popular aud
useful members, and we assure his dis
tant friends and relations that he died
carrying with him the respect Of the
community, and the unsullied reputa-
ton of an honest man, and highly es-
teemed citizen.

THE ExPOsITIoy.-The immense and
beautiful Exposition building will be
lighted up with innumerable gas-jets,
and thrown open to the public some
night during the present week. Public
speakers will be present, and will deliver
congratulatory addresses to the public on
the success of this truly laudsble and en-
terprising undertaking The building is
perfect in all its parts, and reflects honor
on the originators Of the project-our
liberal citizens and the architect and
able mechanics by whom it has been
constructed.

Cool evenings now. Memphis Expo
sition next Tuesday. The clothing trade
is improving. Afew mosquitoes still
linger in the lap of autumn. The the
alter was well filed last night, and the
Witches Of New York proved very en-.
tertaining. One Of the interesting views
of the 81. Louis Fair is said to be the
press gang when lunch is announced.
Carlyle says that Parliamentary elo.
quence is only adetestable and damna-
BILE babblement Of imposture and lies. "
A dissatisfied theater-goer left the thea.
ter last night singing There's no plays
like home" A Louisvillian is men
toned whose feet are so large that he
has to be lifted over the fence by q der
rick. The work Of completing the Ex-
position building goes forward rapidly.
The weather now 10 fine, being neither
cold nor hot, but just sorter betwixt and
between. The anniversary of Christie
pher Columbus will be properly cele-
brated in this city. The planters
in the country are not much exer-
cised about politics. St. Louis CORE
spondents for papers abroad have in
creased alarmingly since the establish
ment Of separate pews for the press.
Services at the Central Baptist Church
every evening this week. Trains of the
Little, Rock railroad cross over the
river aud rest on the other side |" since
the completion of the inclined plane
railway to the transfer boat. Judge
Emmons, of the United States Circuit
Court, says he will remain in Memphis
as long as there is anything for him to
do here. The Board of Exposition Di-
rectoFs are working hard for the success
of their enterprise. Grand openings
will be the rage for awhile now. Big
barbecue at Olive Branch next Thurs
day. enFr rG
