NEw York, May 6.-The rush of i'm
migration is now at its hight. Ten
thousand English, Germans and swedes
are expected at Castle Garden within
the next three days. Saturday and Sun
days arrivals aggregated 6S4l.
Homer Lane of this city, and John
Mcmahon of Rutland, Vt, who signed
articles to wrestle for $500 a side, and
the championship Of America, met in
this city and put up the final deposit Of
$500. and selected s. j. Twemey stake
holder. In consequences Of the inability
of the parties to get the hall in Troy an
til the Both inst, the match will be post
ponsd until that date.
The thirty-seventh annual commence
ment convention of the Union Theology
cal Seminary OF New York took place
last night in DR.. Adams church. A
large attendance was present. Charles
Butler, President Of the Board Of Trus-
tees, presided.
A Times special from Raleigh, N. c.,
says the annual elections for municipal
officers took place throughout the State
yesterday. In Raleigh the entire Re-
publican ticket for Mayor and nine COM
missioners was elected by majorities
ranging from 300 to $50, a gain of 500.
The Board Of Indian Commissioner
who have been in session in this city the
past two weeks, adjourned sine die yes
terday. Most OF the time Of the session
has been occupied in awArdiHE contracts
for various goods which the Government
furnishes the Indians. Fifty-seven con-
tracts we're awarded, aggregating in value
slO,5e0, 900. The Board engaged for the
annual visits OF its members to the In
dian country. Three or four Of them
expect to spend portion Of the coming
summer visiting the more important
agencies, and one or two members will
visit the Pacific coast. During the ses-
sion the whole range Of Indian manage
ment was fully discussed, and report
embodying the views Of the Board upon
the Indian question was carefully pre-
pared. The report gives q general re-
view OF the Indian situation and fully
coneurs in the peace policy Of President
Grant 1t is signed by the full Board,
having, after discussion, been unsni-
mously adopted.
The affairs OF the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company furnished fruitful theme
of discussion for spectators on Wall
street yesterday. 1t was reported that
Stockwells note for 100000 had been
paid. Then it was said the FIRST story
was ubtrue, and that the promise to pay
had not been kept. One hAlfhour the
price Of stock ran one way and the next
halfhour it changed TO another price,
and stories and prices ran the other way.
All day long these contradictory rumors
were circulated, and nobody seemed to
know the exact state Of the case. Stock
closed weak and considerably lower than
on Saturday. fIr

Mr. Hernandez and Misses Clara Baker
and Fannie Francis. Mr.. Rainforth is
popular actor with Memphians, and he
plays everything in a most acceptable
manner. Mr.. J. Wesley Hill is another
Memphis fayorite of olden timos.i or
Mr.. and Mrs, Irwin it may be said that
they are both clever and finished
dramatic artists. Possessing thorough
knowledge OF stage business aud large
amount of culture, no wonder they be-
came favorites at once with the highly
pleased audience. 1t is not unsafe TO

is Hotel clerks are thus defended by q
writer in the Louisville Courier-J ournal.
He says Speaking Of hotel clerks, l
csnld never, for the life Of me, under
stand why it is that the shafts Of all
newspaperdom are leveled at this de-
voted class. SO much has been written
Of their lofty scorn that they have be-
come a proyerb for stilted insOlence. But
there is another side to the picture:
Hotel clerks are not all impolite. Hotel
guests do not always tread on thorns
nor on red-hot plsughshares Of cierkly
indignation. There is no inevitable
connection, in short, between that unen-
visble Office and impudence. The very
reverse is true, since il is hardly posi-
Die that proprietors, in search Of Pohte-
ness, could invariably hit on Doors.
They too, as well as travellers, have their
petty annoyances, and q great many OF
