FEMININE AMENITIES. If women. per-

things insolent to each other, so do thew
know how to resent impertinences. An

signs himself "One Who has Reformed" {"
sends the following: Capt. Hall, was
the commander of the Great Eastern
steamship. He had fallen into such
habits OF drunkenness that his most
earnest efforts to reclaim himself proved
unavailing. At length he sought the ad .
vice of an eminent physician, who gave
him prescription which he followed
faithfully for seven months At the end
OF that time he had lost all desire for
liquor. although he had many times been
LED captive by most debasing appetite.
The prescription, which he afterwards
published, and by which 30 many other

Is done In foreign countries, those used
abroad being for the most part imported
from the United States. The stove
manufacturers held their annual conven-

capital invested in the manufacture of

many experiments and much scientific
investigation.

MaaqueRades and Makers.

Masquerade balls and parties have be.
come SO popular in Memphis this season,
and are becoming so frequent. both pri.
vate and public, that few suggestions
may appropriately De made to maskers,
The great difficulty generally is that so
few attempt TO represent a character
aud act it out, and mere disguise seems
to be the only aim. With few excep-
tons we never see any real conception
OF character displayed, and it is not so
much from inability as from evident
mistake or actual Indifference. As a
general thing the first part OF masquer.
ade ball or party is both stupid and
boresouAe, but one or two wellacted
characters will make an affair Of the
kind q success. The great point now to
be considered is to make our "Mardi-
Gras" Of 1873 perfect success, and to
do this something must be done to avoid
the fatal sameness and monotony char
acteristic Of the general run Of our balls
for people will grow weary Of them, and
will not look forward to Mardi-Gras with
the necessary interest and enthusiasm
Let clubs Of Dickens characters be
formed. Let all the prominent charae-
tiers Of the American stage be repre-
sented, and we will get away with New
Orleans to the pecuniary benefit of our
city. Be encouraged, those of you who
have already won a reputation, and
whose characters have become we'll
known and justly praised. Our Lord
Dundreary" will be long remembered as
a capital piece Of acting and mimicry.
rip Van Wrinkle" of last seasons no
toriety will be looked fer again. Our

not be missing. His conception of his
part is perfect, and his appearance al

ment That vivacious fool" who gave
the Worsham House ball such life and
vim, and who has appeared once or

ABDUCTION OF A SCHOOL GIRL.
Quack Doctor Abducts n Little
school Girl for Improper Pur-


A Quack Doctor Abducfs n Little
School Girl for Improper Par
poses.
This forenoon an English quack doc
tor named Alfred Henry Browning, was
arrested near the Charleston depot by
Officer Malowney, on the charge of abb
Quoting and attempted seduction Of a
little school girl. The child, Gussie
Reese, is about nine years Of age, and is
a most interesting little girl. From her
statements our reporter Cleaned
the following facts This morning
about o'clock she was on Adams street,
near Second, on her way to school.
Near the corner Of Second man caught
up with her, and smilingly said he would
carry her books to the school house.
She gave him the saichel containing the
books and went along with him out
Adams street. She went sliding on the
sidewalk and laughed merrily on her
way. happy at being relieved of the
trouble Of carrying the books. As they
got out near the Charleston depot she
discovered that the man was not going
in the direction of the school-house, and
Immediately asked him fer her books.
He refused to give them mp, and she
commenced crying. He informed her
that if she would go with him short
distance to house, aud let him intro
duee her to woman who wanted to see
her, he would give the books back. She
followed him, crying as she went, up
stairs over a drug store, into some
rooms occupied by Mrs. Williamson.
Browning took a seat near the fire and
called the little girl to him. Mrs. Will.
hanson left the room, and went in
search of a policeman. Browning
told the child she was an angel,
and made many other remarks
not calculated to quiet the fears Of the
little girl. Officer Molowney states that
Mrs. Williamson called him and stated
her suspicious. He went to the room
Immediately, and found the little girl
there crying, but Browning was gone.
He made search for and arrested him
soon afterwards, some squares away.
Browning was conveyed to the station
house and was locked up for hearing
before the Recorder. When arrested he
stated that he was an Englishman, and
was on his way to New Orleans; that he
was a physician, and an agent for sew
ing machine company. He denied that
he had been guilty of any crime, and
accused Mrs Williamson and the inno-
cent little girl Of criminal intent to
ruin him. 1t is needless to state that
Alfred Henry Browning is an unmiti-
gated villain, and should be punished in
much severer manner than that au-
thorized by law.
