bToad-sword combat with ''E,l Gira" (Mr. J. H
Lang elected round after round of applause.
There was decided Improvement in the rem
dttion of all the characters and Miss Kings
bury was frequently applaUded, the same
compliment being paid to Mr.. Everett, whose
enunciation of Jerusalem" :" when perfect
ly astonished, was certain TO convulse the
house with laughter. Mr.. Lang gave finished
rendering of the part of GEL Gira," and ap-
peared to have given the character thorough
study. The other parts incidental to the piece
were all well sustained. Tonight, on the Oc-
casion of her farewell benefit, Miss Kingsbury

Cal Wagner's MInstreIs.
Cal Wagner's brilliant troupe of min
strels opened last night at the Operahouse to
a large and fashionable audience. The port

of music, comic opera, and burlesque. The

q really fine voice, in his plaintive ballad of
Boston an Ashes, and Mr.. ID. K. Hawkins, a
superb basso, in delicious DloTcedU entitled
Good Old Friends which was received with
the heartlest OF applause. The irrepressible,
and 1t may almost be said irresponsible, Cal
wagner, sung new comic d1tty, which he
called P1attR0, which was irresistably funny,
but for once his opponent on the
other end" Sam Price, bore away the
palm as he received triple encore for his
very grotesque manner of singing Hop Along
Peter Wagner, however, came to time in
his old plantation song OF former days of The
little old log cabin in de lane, with inVisi BILE
chorus, and in response made an imprOmptu
speech evidently well studied on the current
topics of the day, which really contained
more truth than poetry, and was provocative
of much mirth, Messrs. Green and Sadler,
who are native Tennesseans, are without ex-
ception the finest song-and-dance men who
ever appeared on Memphis stage. They are
