ADJUSTMENTS.

MEMPHIS THEATER. = Last evening
Marian Mordaunt appeared as Nancy
Sykes in Oliver Twist. Miss Nor
daunt is new to the Memphis public, but
last night she made decided hit, and
was most enthusiastically received by
the audience. Oliver Twist is not ex-
actly domestic drama, nor could it
well be made so out of the characters so
finely portrayed by Dickens in his novel.
The drama is rather repulsive and hor-
rible, depicting the lowest of London
life Miss Mordaunt gave life-like and
dramatic representation of Nancy
Sykes" and was compelled to appear
before the curtain to receive the con-
gratulations of the audience. Mr., More
land, as Bill Sykes" fairly divided the
honors with the star and Mr., Lang,
whose Pagan, the Jew" was a mas
terly production. Miss Ada Gilman, as
"Ohver Twist was pleasing and natu-
raj, and received her we'll deserved share
of applause. The other characters Of
the drama were we'll and effectively pre-
sented. Tonight Oliver Twist will be
repeated.
Circus. -TheGreat Eastern circus and
menagerie unfolded its tents on the bluffs
to-day. This graudest of all modern can
vas exhibitions, which created such
furore throughout the North and
South last season, is justly conceded by
all who have seen it TO be the greatest
of all travelling shows. Its number of
cages is four times as many as are usu-
ally seen in the ordinary menagerie,
and its arenie attractions are thrice as
great as usually displayed in circus en-
tertainments. That it is the mastodon
of the period all who have seen it con-
fess. As giant towers above his fell
lows, so it overtops and places in the
shade all other exhibitions Of this age
of its class. To enumerate the mani
fold attractions of this Goliah of shows
would require more space than we can
allow, hence we refer the reader to the
small biHs and mammoth many colored
posters adjoining the walls around the
city.
WHIrE's OPERA House. = Manager
White has brought out twenty splendid
stars, who appear nightly at his Jeser-
son street Opera House. The pro-
gramme of entertainment consists OF
vocal and instrumental music, fancy
and clog dancing, specially acts, com
edies, etc. Strangers visiting the city
will find Whites Opera House pleas
ant Mace to while away few hours.

Moorish Brides.


The condition of women in Morocco
is most pitiable. They are all slaves,
and the lot Of those who are so avowedly
and technically is much less miserably
dull, monotonous and degraded than that
Of the ladies who are supposed to repose
on satin divans, sip sherbet, eat dainty
devices in sugar, and string pearls in
the harem, in which their occupations
are in reality much less prosaic, and
their surroundings much less splendid.
The wedding festivities are exceedingly
barbarous, the unhappy bride being car
ried TO her husbands house in box on
a mules back, with little boy also shut
up With her in durance, as happy prog
nostic OF the future. A box Of sweet
meats is also placed in the box, 70 while
away the time and console the small
boy. A horrible noise, bowling, drum
ming. firing, is kept up the whole way;
and the female relations Of the bride
groom, who does not appear at all,
receive the bride on the threshold with
appalling shrieks Of Ah-yeel All
yeel"
The box is carried in, the door is shut,
the friends dispense, but the musicians
remain, and the horrible din goes on for
hours. No religious oremony takes
place, and the fattening Of the bride is
the only preparation on her part for
holy matrimony. For this purpose,
says the author OF A Winter in Moroc-
co, from the time Of her betrothal
she is confined TO one room, not permit
ted 70 take any exercise, and compelled
10 swallow large quantities Of keskoo
every day. This system, steadfastly
pursued FOR few weeks. brings her into
a condition that is considered in Moroc-
co becoming obesity. | have heard Of
an intended bride SO fat that she vas M
able 10 pick up her pocket handker-
chief when she droped il, and who could
with difficulty move across the room with
out assistance.

A VERY pleasant party was given at the park brewery park last Thursday evening.
Arizona citizen., 1874-06-06

WE informed the public in our last issue that the report had been brought to town, just before going to press, that the Apaches had attacked the herd of LeOpOldO Carri- llo on the Rillito and had taken 50 head of stock. We have since learned that the story was very much exaggerated. On re- ceipt of the the news at Camp Lowell, Col. Crlttenden promptly sent detachment of soldiers to recover the stock and punish the Apaches. The soldiers found that two Apaches had come down from the noun tains for ratiOns, and had only succeeded in getting away with two, head of cattle, and before taking them far they killed them and took the meat of a part of one with them to their mountain home. Col. Crittenden is desirouS of doing all he can to get those Apaches out of these noun tainS, but has only few men and no guides; and as the Indians live and hide in the most difficult places of access and are always on the alert, it will undoubted- ly be impossible to get them or drive them out of the mountains without the assis- tance of our Apache allies. It has been rumored that General Crook was going to send Lieutenant Ward into these mouE- tains with his Apache scouts. We hope the rumor will prove true as there is Q general feeling of insecurity, and will be as long as they remain there. ...-
 THE Apache scouts that came in with Capt. Hamilton were in town on Tuesday and were the lions of the occasion. Their old enemies, the Papagos, looked at them from a respectable distance and acted as though they were willing in consideration of recent services, that they should live but did not care to cultivate intimacy with them. Gov. Stafford took them to Neugas' restaurant and gave them lunch and after wards they called in a body on the Gov nr-rl n in
 seeing so large 6 town and pleased that they and the whites were now the same as men and brothers. Archy, bright-eyed
 Apache, rather small of stature, about twenty years old, is the leader of the scouts that came in with Capt. Hamilton. In one Of his campaigns the Captain struck a small trail made by hostile Apa- ches, and Archy solicited permission to take ten Indian scouts and follow it and Capt. Hamilton finally consented to let him go. The next day he returned with three stout athletic prisoners, and seemed to feel chagrned that he had not made good Indians of them. He hastened to tell his story, he said he came upon them and they would not run, in fact they could
 not be coaxed to run, but stoically sat down and told him to shoot them if he de- sired. One of them being a brother, his chivalry got the best of bim and he con- cluded to bring them in alive, but we for got 10 mention that a chief named Skillet pan who was with the aforesaid three, at- tempted to run and Archy sent bullet through his yitals that sent him without preparation on t13e other side of Jordan.
