A few days since Sam Gulick, a we'll
known scenic painter. who has been as
ISOLATED with our theaters for years, died
suddenly and in poverty. The members
of the theatrical profession in the city
went to work and generously donated q
sufficient sum to bury the artist in a
proper manner. This amount they took
from their small salaries, well knowing
that the little church around the cor
ner" had to take care ofitself, and could
not depend upon the rarity OF Chris
tan charity" This speaks well for the
theatrical profession, composed as it is
of men and women ever ready to re-
spond to the calls of humanity with
generosity.

rheIuc0x Letters.

Some days since Fire Chief Anderson
received several letters'signed Incog.
warning him to beware OF assassination
at the hands Of some members of the
FIRE department: Yesterday two railroad
men, Mike Gallagher and P. F. Larkin,
were arrested on the charge of sending
the letters. The handwriting of Larkin
resembled that Of the incog. correspond
ent. The case was continued over by
the Recorder, and the defendants were
placed under $4,000 each to answer the
charge Of forgery. There is little in
the case, except to prove that the mem
bers of the fire department are not hos
tile to Chief Anderson, and are not
guilty, as charged by Incog.'

On Wednesday and Thursday of this
week the Barnum menagerie, museum
and circus will pitch its mammoth tents
on tho bluff in this city. The proprietor
of this institution, the famous P. T.
Barnum, will personally superintend
the exhibitions. 1t is not a matter Of
doubt with us-it is a fixed fact-that
this show will be visited by thousands of
our citizens who have never as yet at
tended such exhibitions. This show has
always been encouraged by the better
class of citizens, and there is no reason
why Memphis should prove an exception.
Arrangements have been made with all
the railroads leading into the city to run
excursion trains while the Barnum show
remains in Memphis

Owing To extreme low water in White river,

we are not justified in ohartering boats and

There is fair demand for money to-day.
but the banks have adopted a distribution pol
icy. and are accommodating depositors only SO
as to afford to each fair accommodation in
proportion TO the value Of each account. The
supply of loose currency is comparatively linn
tied, a considerable reserve being held sub
ject to the demands of heavy trade peculiar to
the season, and especially for the movement
Of cotton. To sum up the situation in few
words, we might say that the market has not
been comfortable for a month, and in this
respect our condition is By no means excep-
tional, and, relatively speaking, we have
Jared fully as we'll. and better than
other larger money centers in the North as
well as the South. just now the market is as
close as ever. and but little improvement is
expected until the movement of cotton is more
rapid. Discount rates at bank are 10@12 d
cent. and on the street from "a to Z cent.
is the inside and outside rate. Exchange is
in better supply. and banks report offerings of
cotton bills larger at Nc discount on New York
and 14@2Sc discount on New Orleans, and sell
sight checks on all points at par. In New Or
leans the New York rate has advanced TO "a
nc discount. where last week bank transfers
we're made by telegraph from this city
amounting to $4,000 or 100000 at &c dis
count. Gold is steady at llSN in New York,
and the local demand here is sufficient to JUS
tify brokers in bidding ll3 for round amounts.
Except a small lot of Gayoso gas stock at SOC.
and $1,000 Mississippi and Tennessee second
mortgage bonds at tic. there were no offerings
Of local securities this morning.

The river is falling slowly here and ut all
points above. except Cairo, where the tele-
graph reports & rise of FIVE inches, but don t
say where it is from, and as the only stream
reported rising within the last few days is the
Cumberland, it is probably from that stream
All the streams above are falling, and heavy
ice is reported running in the upper Missis-
sippi, which will efeetually close navigation
up there. and prospects are also favorable for
a close of the Ohio by ice at Pittsburs. The
Arkansas is very low. and it is with the great
est difficulty light draught boats now get even
to Little Rock. White river has thirty inches
to Jacksonport, and is falling. The weather
