New York, April l6.-The Herald
editorially discusses the meeting at
Geneva yesterday, and the submission
of the claims by both England and
America. 1t considers the very tact that
arbitration is allowed to proceed is a
point gained in favor of the ultimate
fulfillment of the treaty. 1t considers,
also, that the American case as origi-
nally presented cannot be altogether
modified, it being strong poiLt for Gen.
eral Grant in reference to his Presiden-
tial successes. Besides if the American
case were altered and modified Fish
could not honorably remain in the
Cabinet.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-Master Percy
Roselle, aged fifteen years, appeared az
the star at the theater last evening, IN
the play entitled The Boy Detective,
The performance was a wonderful nov.
city, one that astonished the old play
Coers present. Master Roselle has re-
ceived careful and thorough training
in the dramatic art, and walks the stage
with the air and manner of an old ac-
tor. Possessing precocious talent for
the stage, he gives us wonderful rep
resentation, displaying an astonishing
conception of the characters he repre-
sents. Last evening Master Roselle ap-
peared in six different characters, each
one being finely sustained. The COM
pany, with Miss Louisa Hawthorne, a
Memphis favorite, as the leading lady,
supported the young star in most
creditable manner. The Boy Detective
will be presented again tonight. Next
Thursday evening the annual benefit
will be given to the door-keepers and
ushers, fact that will, no doubt, fill the
house to OVERLOOKING "a testimonial
from the public to these polite attaches
of the theater.

Yesterday afternoon an elegantly
dressed young lady promenaded down
Main street toward her home in South
Memphis. When opposite the jackson
block, near the corner of Gayoso street,
the gossamer white veil that adorned
her jaunty hat flew away on the bolster
GUS winds, leaving Beauty in despair
and wishing for Courage to appear and
assist her. Who ever knew of lady in
distress that there was not some gallant
knight near by to offer his services2
And so it was in this case. Our friend,
Mr.. George A, saw the himsy veil
mount like a cloud heavenward. 1t
rose above the jackson block, went
higher and higher, until 1t looked like
lady's white glove in the clouds. A cur
rent of air drove it eastward over the
Provine block, waited it far above the
Almedia building; it scared a quarter Of
a mile over the Greenlaw Opera House,
and seemed to become fixed star-a
star, however, watched by our now ex-
cited friend, whe followed the fugitive
with a hunter zeal. A lull in the winds
caused the veil to drop slowly down to-
ward Second street, near the corner OF
Union. The hunter was there, looking
upward, ready to receive it ere it touched
the unromantic earth. As it neared the
street another Whit of air drove it down
Union street several squares. Our friend
became desperate; he vowed that if he
did not catch the flying veil he would
never return to the hapless maiden who
anxiously awaited his success. The vow
acted like charm; the gods took pity
on the son of earth, and drove the Cos
samer veil into his extended arms. He
was happy. He rushed madly back to
Main street, where he found the young
lady, ready to receive her property. A
musical voice that murmured thanks,
and a grateful smile, now haunts the
dreams of our sentimental friend, who
raves about the fair unknown.

Since the Nicolson pavement mud
die has made its appearance in the
shape of bone Of contention, the inter
esting conundrum, What has become Of
the gushing W. W. Ballard2 has been
often asked. The festive Ballard swooped
down here as a pavement contractor
with Brown 4 Co., and in 1868 or 1863
was indicted for attempting to bride
Messrs. Cicalla and Marshall (alder-
men). in order to get their votes on the
passage of the pavement ordinance. Our
citizens will remember that, under the
Judgd Hudson regime, in the old Crimi-
nal Court of Memphis, W. W. Ballard
was placed at the bar Of justice
and confronted by his accusers and
twelve Of his fellow-citizens. The case
was prosecuted on behalf of the State
by Attorney General Horrigan and Col
onel George CAN'T, the defendant being
represented by the late Colonel John
Bullock. Mr.. Brown, who is an attorney
appeared as witness for the defense
and withstood most sensational cross
examination at the hands of Colonel
CAN'T. Ballard was found guilty and
sentenced to two years imprisonment in
the penitentiary on the charge of at
tempted bribery. A new trial was grant
ed on some technical grounds, but Bal
lard went northward to his home, and
did not return to attend the second trial
Long after, the case was mol pressed by
the Acknowledgement and was forgotten.
The late controversy has brought the
matter up from its judicial tomb, and
the question is often asked, "What has
become of the cheerful BallardY Vi
course he could not be interfered with at
present, unless new indictment was
found on the same testimony, and re-
QUESTION asked for of the Governor.

The shrfeyaIty.

IL to-day's issue appears the an
nouncement Of Colonel A. P. Curry as a
candidate for the Office of Sheriff Of
Shelby county. Colonel Curry, it is
we'll known, was Sheriff OF this county
for two years, and at the last election
came very near defeating before the
people our present Sheriff-Marcus j.
Wright-thus showing that he has the
elements of strength and popularity,
two elements that will make him a most
formidable competitor in the ensu'
ing race for Office. It's but just and
true to state that 1t is not every Demo
crat in Shelby county that can defeat
him-nay, it will take the strongest and
most popular Democratic candidate to
do that thing in the contest, and even
then the majority win be Insignificant as
to humber Colonel Curry represents
the Liberal Republican element, and has
host Of friends among our best bust
ness men. 1t can be said Of Colonel
Curry's administration, that he made q
6rst-class Sheriff, was prompt and relia'
bic in the execution Of the duties Of bis
Office, and left the Office in q manner
creditable to himself, having performed
his official duties with skill and with
satisfaction TO those who had business
to transact with him. We deem this
much due to Colonel Curry, however
much we may differ from him on the
political questions Of the day.
