Have we a DelmonIOOss


The Memphis Appeal of Saturday con
tains the following paragraph:
Why is there no nice place where
ladies can 60 with gentlemen and take
oysters or petite super in Memphls
We have no Delmonicos, but we really
might have come coy, neat and unques'
tionably respectable place, where, the
opera OF theater being over, a party oil
ladies and gentlemen could indulge in
an oyster supper without exciting the
liHgual propensity of Mrs. Grundy. Are
we not sufficiently metropolitan to af-
ford such a luxury in Memphis2 We
have good oysters, but no place for
ladies to eat them after shutdown. Who
will emancipate the city from the hob
bledehoyism which makes an oyster
supper, discussed in prblic place, a
question whose strict conyenuonsllty IS
as difficult Of solution as the case OF the
steamer Virginius.
The paragraphist should have known
| have had such place as be desires,
where ladies and gentlemen copld at
tend and eat oysters regardless OF Mrs.
Grundy, or any other garrulous person.
If such a place cannot be sustained 1t
is the fsult of the ladies and gentlemen
who fail to pstroniEe it. On the lst
proximo will open a confectionery and
oyster parlors at No. 1853 Main street,
near the corner Of Union, which will
meet the want SO dolorOusly wished for
in the above paragraph.

Ladies' Dining Room

In order to supply an absolute need
in this city, JOHN CASTOR, the famous
restaurateur, has fitted up five elegant
parlors and a magnificent dining room
for the reception of ladies, their friends
and families. These elegant rooms were
fitted up at an expense of several thou
sand dollars, and have just been opened
for the inspection of the public. The
entrance is entirely cut off from the
restaurant proper, and at the head of
the stairs on the right isthe reception
room, which is decorated and furnished
in costly style. From the reception
room an entrance is open to the family
dining room, which is as comfortable
and private as ones own establishment.
Five smaller rooms are for parties who
desire a greater privacy during meals.
After the theater, when the opera is
over, ladies can visit Gastons and be
supplied with oysters, birds, ETC., fixed
up in the best style of the art cuisine.
The ladies dining rooms will be open
until twelve o'clock every night. II

The announcement made elsewhere,
that the DeSoto Bank has resumed bust
ness in full and upon its own resources,
will be hailed with pleasure not only by
our business men but by the general
public. Even during the late suspen-
sion of the DeSoto the bank has been
paying off claims when presented. The
standing of this institution was never
doubted, and during the temporary sus-
pension depositorS gave it support and
had in its managers implicit reliance.
The result shows that such confidence
was not misplaced. The DeSoto has
been and will be one of the largest and
heaviest moneyed institutions in our
