The Theater.

A little over month ago the city was
extensively "b.Iled," announcing the
opening for the season, Of the Memphis
Theater, on the 18th of September. the
initial piece to be Watch and Wait,
or Through Fire" We all know that
the opening did not take place; but
the piece" has had months run.
Our people have been the anxious
actors; some have played well their
parts" others, with little prompt
ing" have gone through very creditably,
and others have retired from the " stage
of life" forever We dare say such a
thrilling tragedy" has never before
been witnessed on this continent, and let
US hope never again. How snxiously

Office. Some years before the war there
was convention called in one Of the
mountain counties 81 North Georgia 10 Sc
lecta candidate for the Legislature. The
convention was composed mostly OF the
good old farmers, whose habits were simple
and whose education was limited. a
young man named Burton had lately come
into the county as school teacher, and had
just got license to practice law. He was
one OF those wOrdy, grandiloquent fellows,
who made q speech on every occasion that
presented itself, and expressed himself In
such language that the good mountain people
could not understand him. The convention
was called to order, aud one or two Of the
old farmers had expressed themselves IN
their plain manner, when Burton arose and
delivered oneof his flaming speeches, inter
spersed with illusions to mythology, latin
maxims and quotations from Blackstone.
He took lis seat to observe the effect Of lns
rhetoric All remained silent for a few
minutes when an old farmer got up and
stated that lie hardly knew whether he un-
derstoOd the remarks OF Mr.. Burton, and
hoped that gentleman would explain
himself. Several other members expressed
themselves in the same way, when finally
old Jimmy Wright, sort of oracle IN
the neighborh0Od, in politics, fighting,
horseTacing, and such innocent amusements
of the people, arose in the back part of the
assembly and said: Gentlemen, think

More especially have they offended in that

ever they were presented for redemption.
But in order to the successful working of
this scheme it was necessary that nobody
should know that he intended to resume.
just here the tattling clerks and the bah
bling correspondents spoiled everything by
telling everybody to pass in his greenbaclIs.
And everybody did PISS in his greenbaeks.
At least enough people did to cali for the
Secretary's entire pilg in about the twink
ling Of a telegraph message. This was
mortifyiDg- It rendered necessary the mod
itcation Of policy which, having been de-
hberately entered upon. could not be pre-
cipifately abandoned. Accordingly, the
Secretary began to pay creditors Of the gov
eminent, especially clerks, FIVE dollars
apiece. Thcreupon arose roar Of laughter
resembling from Maine 70 Texas and from
Florida 70 Minnesota This too was morti-
flying. 1t was also irritating. Consequently
the Secretary issued strict orders to his sub
0rdinates that they should sit from and af-
ter thr third day % November with closed
mouths. lie does nos even permit them 70

from his father, and where he had erected
the mansion known as the Arlington House.
He was married in early life to Miss Mary
Lee Fitzhugh, of Virginia, and left an only
daughter, who became the wife of General
Robert f. Lee. The late Mrs. Lee was a
