FOSTER, THE MEDIUM.
His photograph Tahsa ny on

A'a"h a"as
Our reporter played wall flower at the
theater last evening; bat while gazing At
the blondes through a lorgneite he felt a
strange thrill peryade bis sysiem-a kind
Of electrical shock, as II galvanic bat
terry had been turned loose at his elbow.
Looking around, the cause was percepti-
ble-Mr. Charles +, Foster. the spirit
medium, stood by bis side Our pencil.
singer took an inventory Of the celebrity
on the spot, and in his mind 3 eye, Hora-
ito, snatehed his photograph.
HOW THE Man LOOKS.
Foster ia large man, and his appear
anoe plainly indicates that he is fond Of
the good things OF this lie. He is
clumsy and unwieldy in his movements.
The lower part Of his face is large and
full, huge double chin entirely destroy
ing what little claim to personal beauty
he might otherwise possess. His face is
bare Of beard, with the exception Of dark
chin whiskers and heavy, coarse mus
tache which overhangs an unusually
large mouth. His nose is sufficiently
large to show that the man is possessed
of considerable force Of character. But
Fosters eyes are the most noticeable
feature about mindful, heavy and ex-
pressionless, they set far back in his
head, giving the face forbidding, re-
pulsive look. The upper portion of his
head is not nearly so well developed as
the lower part Foster il not man who
would impress a stranger with the con.
viction that he is an intellectual or schol-
arly m An-neither does he have the ap-
pearanc e of a wide.awake, euterprising
business man. He has slow, dull
heavy way about him which is not cal
culated to make favorable impress
sion upon strangers until, as is reported,
they succumb to the mesmeric influence

that hover in mid-air and communicate
through him the secrets Of the charnel-
house. 1t will be recollected that those
who profess to hold communion with de-
parted spirits or deal in the mesmeric
business have generally sleepy ex-
preston of countenance, the eye espe-
cially indicating the construction of the
mind, no matter whether the possessor
deals in rational spiritualism or that
imaginative system so curiously investi-
gated by the insane. Mr.. Fosters APP
pearance would strike the critical OBJ
server of men in such a manner as to
make the observer look twice at the
seer even though it resulted in seeing
nothing particularly striking or won
derful.

MEMPHIS. TEN n. January 8. 1879.


MEMPHIS. TEN NJ. January s. 1873.
Nothing has occurred in the way Of
local finances since our last last report,
that is worthy of mention. The banks
could, if they were SO disposed, loan all
of their surplus to customers and bust
ness men, as the demand for accommo-
dations is active, but pursue a con-
servative policy, and politely say no, "
when ar applicant makes known his
wants. Had this course been adopted
months since, there would be no bust
ness paper, as there is to-day, seeking
discount in the open market, and stand
ing shave, of from 2@4 d cent. y
month. The merchants sent too much
money to the interior early in the sea-
son, when the money market was easy
here, in order to obtain custom, and
continued it, Notwithstanding that some
had experie need a severe lesson last
year, up to the time when cotton pick
ing began. and the result is just as it
was last year. only worse. A majority
OF them cannot now obtain the amounts
they desi re to carry on their own bust
ness. Business prospects are more fat
tering now, however, and with the opeR-
ing of avigation in the Ohio river and
to St. Louis which is probable, and a
stage of water in the Arkansas and |
White rivers, that will permit the ship |
ment of some sixty or seventy thousand |
bales Of cotton now on those streams to
this city, we can safely say that in
month or two at least there will be
brisk demand on the street at l(92 q
cent. for the very paper that is nov dis
counted at 2(94 q cent. Cotton bills
came in slowly, as shipments are
delayed, and although a majority
of the banks report their receipts and
demand about equal There are others
who get but few; as an illustration of
which we note transactions between
banks to-day amounting to $4,000 at {
4c discount, whereas the counter rates on
bills are steady at &c discount on New

ADJUSTMENTS.

MEMPHIS THEATER-There was {
crush at the theater last night, on th,
occasion Of the initial performance o
Lydia Thompson and her troupe o
blondes. The extravaganza entitled
Blue Beard was well presented, and par
ticularly we'll received. As the fan
Lydia and her associates appeared OF
the stage, a recognition, followed by ap
plause, was in order. The old members
of the troupe, the burlesque queen
Misses Dubois, Zerbini, Weathersby
Wheatleigh, Earl and Messrs. Beckett
and Eduoin, are as good as ever, indeed
they are as good at one time as another,
perhaps better. Miss Thompson sang
and danced with her usual grace
and ability, during her presentations
of "Selim,' " Souls Lieutenant of
Saphis" and of the pastoral maiden.
Harry Beckett, as blue Beard, was
exceedingly droll and amusing. Willie
Eduoin, as Corporal Zoug-Zoug" and
the Heather Chinee," was irresistibly
funny During the performance Miss
Thompson sung her best song, " His
Heart was True to Poll, in first rate
style, and was compelled to receir sev-
eral encores. In the last act Misses
Thompson and Dubois and Mr.. Beckett
rendered that catch song, eff Ever l
Cease to Love" to the great delight of
the audience. The instrumental music
was excellent--the leader, Mr.. William
Withers, an old Memphis favorite, doing
his best to add to the entertainment In
response to long continued applause,
Mr.. Withers performed two violin solos
in style worthy Of the most noted vio-
linists. Tonight Kenilworth will be
produced, and tomorrow evening Les
Brigands and A Day in Paris.
GRAND OPERA HoUsE.-At this popu-
lar place of amusement the Lingard
Comedy Company appeared last even
ing in three act comedy entitled A
Life's Dream" The comedy is what is
generally called a society play, but as a
literary production it does not reflect
any considerable amount of credit upon
its author, nor indeed can it ever be
made very popular by performers. Mr..
Lingard has a new company, which is a
decided improvement on the old. Mrs.
Alice Dunning Lingard is a clever
actress, quite favorite in our city, and
to our mind, is by far superior to William
Horace in points of talent and versatil-
ty. During the evening Mr.. Lingard
presented a number Of his character
and sketches. These were
very well received by the audience, yet
We must recollect that the novelty Of
character sketches has long since worn
off in Memphis. Tonight there will be a
change of programme, the entertain
nent consisting of "a Wonderful
the "Lingard Sketches" ard
Day After the wedding" attrae-
ions which no doubt viii draw well.
GRAND BALI. On the night of Wednes-
lay, the I'D inst, the members Of the
Societa di Unione Fratellanza Itahana
vii give their fourth annual ball at
cochran Hall. The balls given hereto
