in the sensational drama entitled Jane Eyre,
dramatization Of Charlotte Bronte's wonder

ter as drawn by Miss Bronte. is not in keep

heart of "Jane Eyre" 1t was a powerful
delineation. however. and one worthy Of the
charming actress who played the role. Mr..
Shewell made his first appearance before

Shewell is very large man, and does not
look like " Rochester," although he plays
the part we'll. He won the audience rapidly
during the performance of the piece. and in
the two last acts he certainly displayed con-
siderable dramatic power. The cast was a
very good one, the members the stock COM

Drinks RetMeen Acts.

Though the male attendants at the
Memphis Theater and Grand Opera
House may differ on politics, religion
and other subjects, there seems to be a
remarkable unanimity of opinion on the
subject Of drinks between the acts. The
curtain has hardly begun rolling down be-
fore there is a general rush for the aisles
aud the whisky bars. 1t is now a com
mon practice for men to leave ladies'
alone in the theater while they step out
to obtain a glass Of water or take a
Whit of fresh air, or just TO stretch their
legs. They return in crowds, just as the
curtain is rising or in the middle of the
scene, bringing with them the strong
odors Of whisky, rum, brandy, lager beer
and Schweitzer kase. The ladies I'M
doubtedly would prefer to have ice
cream, Jelly and other simple refresh
ments, but if delicate girl can sit the
performance through without drinks
men undoubtedly should be able to do
likewise. YAK a er-r- rLFlE

THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.

The river began rising last evening,
and had swollen nearly eighteen inches
up to noon to-day, when it again began
to decline. There are no immediate
prospects of thaw above, and with the
ice running heavy as it does, navigation
will be suspended for some time to
come. The weather has moderated con-
siderably, however, and the sun is
shining brightly today. A rise of six
teen inches is reported at Cairo, and the
Ohio is rising at all points. No later
news has been received from the Arkan-
sas or White rivers.
The Howard came up through the
ice this morning with 1900 tons freight,
and was an hour getting to the landing
MISCELLANEOUS.
A telegram to Captain Low reports the
Illinois making regular trips between
Columbus and Cairo to-day.
The details of the terrible steamboat
disaster, caused by the breaking of the
ice gorge above here, will be found in

In to-day LEDGER appears the an
nouneement of Mrs. E. A. Meriwether,
who is a candidate for School Visitor for
the Fourth Ward. Mrs. Meriwether is a
most worthy matron, who feels a deep
iuterest in the education of the youth Of
our city. She possesses qualifications Of
a high order, and if elected, as we opine
she will be, it may as well be admitted
that no member of the School Board
will do more to advance the educational
interests of our city, or engage in the

saved, and we will, in that event, resume
delivery as soon as the coal can be Sc
cured and uulo. sded. We are in tele-
