ADJUSTMENTS.

THENew Memphis Theater was OPEN
ed for the season last night to a very
fair audience, the extreme hot weather
considered. The programme combined
the performances of the famous ventril-
oquist, Mr.. Davis, and of Mr.. Sargent,
the favorite illusionist. 1t is only doing
these gentlemen simple justice to say
that they are among the best, if not the
best, now before the public in their sew
eral lines of business. No that we
remember, of all the ventriloquists, has
ever or could surpass the perform
ance of MI. Davis, who, besides that be
sustained several characters with grace
and "a i%nimitable, infused the whole
with a great deal of wit and humor, SO
well received by the audience as that the
applause was sustained almost without
interruption. Indeed ii was so long con-
tinued, and the laughter with it, that be
was forced to ask for quiet, in order that
his finer points might be heard to per-
lection. His songs are well selected with
a view 70 display TO advantage the pecu-
liarities of the voices he initiates, and
his wit and humor are as pure as his
powers to sustain so many characters
are extraordinary. OF course the
house will be filed tonight to
see and hear one whose facilities
are far above those of any of the
ventriloquists of his time. Almost
equal to this, and certainly superior to
that of any of the i~llusiOnists w have
had here of late years, is the perform
ance of Mr.. Sargent, whom all should
see. His great hat trick is alone worth
the price of admission to see. The
theafer is clean, cool and inviting, and
ladies and gentlemen desiring to attend
these performances need not have any
fears on the score of comfort. The pro-
gramme for tonight is entirely new and
will prove as attractive as that of last
night.

REINFoRCEMENTs FROM CoLDwATER.
On Friday evening last news was
brought to COllierville that q colored so

church, some six miles distant, was in
arms and had actually taken up a line
of march toward the beleaguered city,
with the most dire intentions of releas-

majestic law some colOred persons who,
that morning, had been arrested upon
warrants issued in Fayette county,
charged with being implicated in the
illegal arrest of Mr.. Brooks, of which
mention has been made heretofore.
The information ran that they were
headed by a drum, and consisted Of from
fifty to one hundred mounted men. The
prisoners, in whose behalf it was said
they were making this demonstration,
had been sent TO Lafayette early that
Friday afternoon.
THEY ARE INTERVIEWED.
Mayor Davis, in company with Mr.. J.

party came in, and still later the others.

and the prisoners at Lafayette were
guarded with little difficulty.

A ala Daytime Attendance Large.

The third annual picnic Of the En-
NETT Guards, which came off yesterday
at James Park, was one Of the most
successful Of the season, n~Otwithstand-
ing the intense heat. During the after
noon there were indications Of a coming
storm, but it passed away, and in the
evening a most refreshing breeze sprung
up which made it most delightful for
the dancers. The attendance was large
after the shades of evening set in, and
all seemed to enjoy themselves IN the
highest degree, the arrangements Of the
I" green.jacket bOysn being of the most
satisfactory description. The games in
troduced were contested in a spirited
way and witnessed by the spectators
with the most lively interest. Taken
altogether the Guards are to be con-
