AT the matinee at the theater, to-
day, we hope there will be no fiends
present. Neither the staring fiend, the
whisky-scented fiend, the tobacco-chew-
ing fiend, the mpudent-staring fiend,
the cheeky fiend, the talking, chatty
| fiend, the reserved-seat female fiend, or
the fend in any other shape. The per-
formance will be a very attractive one,
aud should be enjoyed without Interrupt
ton until the drop Of the curtain an
nounces the end Of it.
We are indebted to the Lafayette
brass-bsnd for pleasant serensde last
| night, which was enjoyed very much.
The band first serenaded Hon. John A.
| ROush at his residence. The compli-
ment wss acknowledged by Mr. ROush,
| who invited the members of the band
and their friends into his house, and en-
/ tertained them right royalty. A num-
her OF toasts were drunk by the gentle
men to Mr.. Roush as the representative
elect Of the wOrkingmen of Memphis.
Mr.. Roush replied in appropriate terms
to the tossts. This band has just
been organized, and is under
the leadership Of Professor Hofmeister.
La response to urgent calls, Mr.. David
PhHp returned the thanks of the AP-
PEAL for the delightful serensde.

and last night with the pro- l
,undest interest. Many anxious and

lteTestiDg to witness such remarkable y
'ligiOus awakenings in our midst, and 81
is to be hoped that our community 81
