ADJUSTMENTS.


Last week
was one of continued festivity, and
thousands have been afforded most plea
SAINT enjoyment. Monday evening the
ladies of the Orphans Church Home
commenced a festival which was con-
tinued with increased interest during the
week. Strawberries, ice-cream and other
cOnfectiOns were dispensed in a most
fascinating manner by the beautiful
young ladies who had charge Of the va
rious tables. The voting of cakes to
several popular young ladies enlisted the
gallantry of the gentlemen. The young
ladies should receive the testimonials
paid them as no mean tribute to their
beauty and personal worth. Equally
successful has been the festival given at
Rocco hall by the ladies of the Central
Methodist church. The tables were or
namented with the most sumptuous re-
freshments, and were arranged with ele-
CANT taste and artistic neatness by fair
hands Every dag and evening bril-
liant attendance thronged Rocco hail,
and the polite attentions of the young
ladies proved most fascinating to every
visitor. A more recherche entertain
ment and a more graceful manage
ment was never conducted in this
city. We are glad to know
the ladies have achieved such desirable
results and realized handsome sum for
the noble charity in which they are en-
gagged. Woman's beauty, her gentle
ness aud her kindness often accomplish
what would battle the proudest energies
of men. Monday witnessed delight
ful picnic at Humboldt park, given by
the German Lutheran school, which
attracted large number of ladies and
gentlemen TO the enjoyment of its
pleasures. Various games, many of
novel character, We're engaged in by
the children of this prosperous school,
and the occasion was rendered agree
able to every one that attended.
Tuesday the TyIO graphical Union
gave ITS second annual picnic, which
was literally patronized and hSppil
managed. The type-setting matche,
between apprentices and betW cen print
ers elected much attention, and the
contestants were very apt in their efforts
to win the prizes offered. This picnic
was one of the most pleasant ever held
at James's park, and the dancing con-
timed until quite a late hour in the
evening. The successful management
of this picnic reflects credit on the
union, whose members are gentle
men of intelligence and energy.
Wednesday gave us the fourth annual
picnic of the SOcietd di UniOrle e FrGtet-
tanza Hdlidnd. A procession of this So
ciety, with its queens, banners and mu-
sic, paraded the principal streets in the
morning, and the evening was devoted
to dancing, promenading and social en-
joyment. Over three thousand persons
attended this picnic, which continued
through the evening, with varied pleas
ure and genuine enjoyment to all pres
ent. Thursday was great day with
the Catholic Sunday-schOols OF
Memphis. The grand union
picnic of these schools was per-
haps more largely attended than any
similar entertainment ever given in this
city, The procession, composed of the

rick's aud st. Bridget's churches, had
