DG4D.-Mrs. Mary J Echols, wife Of
Gca. JOAN Ecbo!s, died 10 this city on
Tuesday evening last, after bs!ef and
painful Illness. This announcement OF the
death Of this most cs;imablc lady created a
profound feeling of sorrow throughout cur
entire community. Her modest, unobtFn-
sive, christian character had attracted to
her m1ny warm friends, who admired aud
loved her for the genuine womsnly aud
witely virtues aad graces that adorned her
life. The home circle was the theatre
where The attractions Of her character shone
the more conspicuously. There she vas
the centre Of the affection and caresses Of
those wbo knew her best. and over whose
lie her christian at'ainmeuts and develop
menis shed their hallosed and n!cllowins
influence. Few $onen nave more fully
measured up to the standard Of the chris,
tan wife. mother and companion, than
Mrs. Echo.5, and her death leaves q void
that no earthly agency can Gil. She was
a consistent mca5er Of the Presbyterian
cburca, and died in The full triumph Of the
christian faith Eagey NryinEam, 0cio.

ry, that those who had participated 10 the
temporary overthrow Of the unlawful and
unrcpu5lican government that had been re-

moral right Of their cause vas conceded
by many Of their political opponents in the
NORTH who sustained TIC President in his

10 Northern Louisiana the couatry is scour-
cd by Federal soldicry, that arrests are
taking place, that the peaceful people are
lying in terror from their bones, and that
the whole State is excited With apprehcn,

are reading and thinking for themselves

They have seen Kellogg unveiled by the

Dame Rumor has it, and we sincerely

road managers that Memphis ever had
the good fortune to have in her midst,
Colonel Sam B. Jones, is coming back
here in the general interest of the Lou
isVille and Nashville and Great South.
ern railroad, with headquarters in this
city. We can safely say that such men
as Colonel Jones do more to hold and
gain public esteem and the good will of
individuals in the true interests of rail-
roads than most any man we ever knew.
Always pleased, always courteous,
always kind, considerable and just to all
classes, his name and his services is the
tower OF strength the Louisville railroad
want.

Economy in the Kitchen,

Prudent housekeepers are ever on the
alert to practice economy in the cult
nary department. In no way can this
be done more effectually than in the use
of a Baking Powder which combines
purity strength and reliability. DooL-
EY's YEAST POWDER has attained the
deserved reputation of being economical,
convenient and wholesome, besides
which it will produce from a barrel of
-four twenty-five to forty. pounds
more bread, rolls, ETC., than by the old
process Of raising dough with bakers or
hop yeast. Here alone is great saving,
and authorizes the guarantee that it will
give entire satisfaction. lSeod-dtw

MEMPHIS THEATER. - The Marble
Heart was well presented by the Stetsor
people before an appreciative audience
The play has been often produced on
the boards Of the Memphis Theater, and
for this reason it is not regarded as an
attractive piece. Last season on the
opening week Frank Evans starred il
a few nights among the Marble Hearts
who appeared en- tableau. For the mat.
inee to-day Neck and Neck has been
selected, and for to-night's performance
the attractions will be Neck and Neck
and French Spy.
The Stetson people have been unfor-
tunate in making their debut before
Memphis audiences. The company is a
good one, and while it contains no star, ="
it has quite a number of clever actors
who show to advantage in whatever cast
they may be placed The wretched
rainy weather, which has continued for
nearly week, cast a damper on the
theatrical business.
ScHUMAyY' TRoUPE.-Next Monday
we are promised something far from the
legitimate business, a combination of
specially acts by the Schumann troupe,
which is composed Of male and female
artistes, who perform all kinds of feats
surprising and admirable
MINsTRELsY.-The Hagerly Troupe of
Ministries gave another performance at
the Assembly Hall last night. We have
already spoken of the excellence of the
troupe. The more it is seen the more it
appears to develop strength. tits capa-
Bile of great variety of arrangement.
An instance of this adaptability is seen
in the fact that what are termed the lend
men" are by no means stationary fix
lures. They change and revolve, and
produce variety. Last night there was
a change OF programme and with the
change came Mr.. E. NJ. Hall, the banjo
king to the end hitherto occupied by
Barlow, the latter introducing himself in
his great plantation act of Juba." AS
an end man Hall is success The en-
tire performance gave tho utmost salts
faction to the large audience. There
will be matinee to-day and closing
performance tonight.
JEFFERSON OPERA HoUsE.-The JEFF
ferson street Opera House has opened
out under Manager Steele, and, is
crowded nightly. The management has
secured the services of good troupe
Of artistes who appear each evening in
pleasing specislties attractive and en-
Pertaining. Tonight Frank Howe will
appear in the great hanging scene from
Jack Sheppard. Miss Ada Franklin, the
popular change artistic, will appear in six
different characters and il several spe-
cislty acts. Change of programme every
night. New people will appear on next
Monday evening.
The Bethel concert will be repeated
next Thursday night. Tickets not used
last night will be good on that occasion.

MENKEN BROS.
New Features Of an Old and ReIIa
BILE Dry Goods House.


The firm of Menken Bros. has long
since taken front rank among the most
enterprising and popular of our success
full merchants. They have been estab'
lshed many years and far outgrown the
average prosperity of the city. By the
exercise Of sound judgment formed from
lifelong experience, coupled with strict
integrity and close attention to the tastes
Of the day and the wants of the market
they have built up business and pub
lie confidence that is splendid reward
of all their efforts. Mr.. N. D. Menken,
the senior member of the firm, took
advantage Of his summer vacation spent
with his family across the water this
summer to visit the great manufactures
and make arrangements for a large direct
importation of the very best and latest
styles of goods.
In the line of silks he has received and
is constantly receiving stock direct
from manufacturers that will command
the admiration of the ladies and a
liberal patronage. Genuine Lyons silks
will be guaranteed and sold as low as
81 10, and elegant black silks will be
sold for one dollar. The make and
quality will be guaranteed as repre-
sented in every instance, and the word
of the firm is as good as its bond. Mr..
Menken brought over Madam LANCET, a
famous Partisan modiste, who, with her
assistant, will superintend the manufac.
ture of all kinds of ladies garments.
A fit is guaranteed in every in
stance. This is new and attractive
feature of the house. A complete stock
of dress goods and novelties has been
received and will be sold at reasonable
prices.
Another feature of the house this
season is an elegant stock of carpets of
the newest styles and at reduced prices.
Purchasers can avoid buying old patterns
and stocks at last years prices by call
ing on Menken Bros. The wholesale
jobbing facilities of the house are unsur-
passed. Unusual inducements will be
offered the trade. We take pleasure in
paying this just and voluntary notice to
a house which has by enterprise, fair
dealing and hard work won such a large
share Of public esteem and patronage.
