which should make one, for veal or woe, the
destinies of those youthful hearts, whom love

though soft as velvet. After the short, though
impressive service Of the church was over,
the bridal party retired 10 the residence OF the
brides mother, Where they received their Du-
merOus friends until the hour for the depart
ure OF the train to New Orleans. Many were
the heGlths that were drank, and many tine
good wishes that followed the youthful pair
whose voyage Of life had begun 50 suspicious
ly, and the bubbling, sparkling wine never
crowded glasses more full of genuine good
wishes for the health, happiness and future
success of any couple who ever set ont upon
the sea OF matrimony from our Bluff City.
On their return from their bridal trip the
groom and his charming bride will settle
down-let us hope for life-in Memphis, where
both OF them have been in a manner brought
up and have such hosts Of friends.

ANUS GMENTS.

EDt AGt&AtEs
There was large attendance at the
Katie Putnam matinee yesterday after
noon, upon which occasion this favorite
actress and brilliant artist appeared as
Little Nell" and the "Marchi0nessn in
the Old Curiosity Shop, dramatized
from Dickens's novel of that name. We
have already had occasion to speak of
Miss Putnam's Little Nell" in the
rendition Of which we deem her far
above any other lady on the American
stage. She thoroughly comprehends,
and earnestly appreciates the psychology
of the character, and with her sweet
voice and natural simplicity Of manner,
makes heiself felt in every scene. Her
acting yesterday afternoon was admired
aud applauded by every one, and the
music of her voice will long be remen-
beTed by all who heard the songs she
sung. Last night there was a good
house at the Theater to witness her in
the title role of La File du Regiment.
Miss Putnam has played successful
engagement in Memphis this week, and
afforded most pleasant evenings to a
large numbe OF our best and most critic
al citizens. We hope she will visit
Memphis again this season. She leaves
this morning or q southern tour, and
will visit Nashville, Chattanooga, Sell
ma, Columbus, Macon, Augusta,
Charleston, Savannah, Columbia and
Norfolk.

Next Wednesday night the Cdnt0td
OF Esther will be produced at the Menu

Miss Rosa Barnett, OF Columbia, who,
it will be remembered, engaged in the
concert given by the Esther club two
years ago, will take the character of
''Queen Esther" the beauties and graces
Of which she is so well qualified to por-
tray. The club viii also appear Thurs
