ADJUSTMENTS.


With the programme elsewhere
printed before them, it will not be ne
cessary to-day to more than call the
attention of the readers to the grand
concert to be given at the Theater on
Friday tie fifth instant. No such pro-
gramme has been offered in Memphis
in years, and il is very seldom that such
an array of the best talent has been
mustered to interpret one. Vocalists
and instTumentalists are all alike well
and fsvorably known to the public, and
we feel sure will acquit themselves quite
up to the high reputation they enjoy.
The beneficiaries are among our truest
musicians and both from length of resi-
denee as well as ability, have claims to
the consideration Of the public. The
Theater will be made seasOnably COM
Portable for the occasion, and no oppor-
tunity be allowed to pass that will tend
in the least to insure most pleasant oc =
casion for those who may attend.

illustrations in assisting to fix ideas is
denied by none, and the moral effect of

The MOnumentsI Picnic.
The attention of our readers, this
morning, is called to the advertisement,
in another column, Of the picnic, which
is to come off at James's park, June 9th,
under the direction of the Confederate
Relief association. The committee
which has the arrangements in charge,
requests US to acknowledge, with the
profound thanks of the Confederate Re
lief association, the generous response
and noble patronage which all their for
mer efforts have met with, by the people
of Memphis, when they have put forth
efforts to raise means TO relieve the
wants Of the living. They now call
upon their fellow-eitizens to come for
ward, once again, and help tc pay de-
served tribute to the gallant Confederate
dead, by completing a monument over
their remains in ElmwOod. To the ever
willing daughters of southern house
holds, they especially appeal for support
and encouragement. Not to those of
Memphis alone, but to these of every
town, village, hamlet and neigbboThOod
in this vicinity. Let there, then, be q
general outpouring to the monumental
picnic, on the sixth of June, and each
do his or her part to aid in rearing the
modest shaft, already begun, iys memo
ridDl, over the dust of our hOnored slain,
bearing upon ITS unpretending sides, in
ehiseled inscription
"The story how they fell"

soldier, and hOnors yalOr, cordial

for the completion of the monument.
