MEMPHIS THEATRE. Mr.. Owens APP
peared last night in the character Of
" Caleb Plummer"- creation Of the
fertile brain Of Charles Dickens-in Dot,
or the Cricket on the Hearth. Mr..
Owens might rest his fame on this delin-
cation alone; we wonder be does not
play it %oftener. 1t is a masterpiece
touched from nature with the hand Of
genius. The piece is most touchingly
pathetic, Astounding in true sentiment
and often set with rare gems Of the
oldest humor, coming in unexpectedly,
yet in the most easy and natural man
ner. The sympathies Of the audience
are enlisted from the first, and they are
often transported from tears to laughter
by an unseen power that seemed almost
ludicrous in its effects. The struggle OF
the old man to conceal his extreme pow.
erty and the oppression Of ahard hearted
landlord was moving in the extreme.
The supposed de tn of his son at sea
added sadness to the poverty of their
poor cottage. In striking contrast sp-
pears the home of John Perry
bingle," another tenant Of the same man,
where, with his sweet little wife, dot
and child, reigued love and c~ontent--a
strong, rugged man, twice her age,
ruled and guided by pure woman sweet
est influence. The interest Of the drama
reached its climax when the landlord il
about to marry May Fielding" whose
mother sometimes failed to mention the
panic which ruined theindigo trade, and
the son Of caleb Plummer," a sailor il
blue, returns just in time to claim ant
rescue the fair bride from her fate, tt
lead her to the altar himself. All mis-
understandings were ~reconciled and thu
piece concluded happily. The verdic
OF the large and critical house was unan
imcus that this is one Of Mr.. Ovens
best characters, and the wish was ex
pressed that he would repeat it at tn,
matinee Saturday instead Of the piecl
in the bills, The support of his compa
ny, for the most part, was admirable, es
pecially in the female characters. Will
a few slight exceptions, the result Of in
attention, the piece went of smooth.
and certainly to the satisfaction of al
present. The afterpiece was Happies
Day of Ny Life, a splendid comedy
which kept the house in a roar of laugh
ter. To night will be presented Victim
and Forty Winks, in both of whic'
pieces Mr.. Owens will appear.

CONSERVATIVES, TAKE Nor1cE.-Ever mo-
ment Of delay makes your cure more hope
less, and much depends on the judicious
choice of a remedy. The amount of testi-
mony in favor of DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, as a cure for consumption, far exceeds
all that can be brought to support the preten-
sions of any other medicine. See DR..
schenck's Almanac, containing the Ger if
Gates Of many persons Of the highest respecta-
bility, who have been restored to hea tn, after
being pronounced incurable by physicians Of
acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonio
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evil
dences will show; but the sure is often pro-
NOTED by the employment Of two other rene
dies which Br, Schenck provides for the pur-
pose. These additional remedies are Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the
timely use Of these medicines, according 10
directions, DR.. Schenck c%ertihes that NEST
any case Of consumption may DO cured,

Two nice young men we're arrested

The founding business exhibited an
unusual degree of liveliness this morn
ing. There we're two babes at the sta
tioR-house searching for responsible pa
rents. One is colored, and about three
months old. 1t was found in an open
lot, corner Walnut and Vance streets, by
two policemen. A little piece Of paper
was pinned on its clothes, which read as
follows: Here ami Take me in and
treat me we'll. My fathers name is Ju-
lius Jackson" The baby was taken to
the statiou-house, and it is expected that
a Christian colored woman, named Per
kins, will take charge Of it.
While the lawyers, and doctors, and
officers were examing and discussing the
aforementioned wall, another baby was
carried in by Mary Ellen Tiaynor, who
lives on Jefferson street. She said that
a person named Tucker had stopped at
her house three months ago, being poor
and helpless, and one 6ne morning the
afectionate Tucker left and forgot to
take the baby away. Mrs, TraynOr had
the young thing christened and is now
diligently bringing it up by hand
Judge Winters said it was a good day

SPECIAL NOTICE
Tonic Of Rnra Merit.

There are many tonics. but few indeed
which produce any other effect than artificial
stimulation of the appetite. This, so far from
being a benefit, is positive detriment. if the
digestive organs are weak, because IL induces
the patient to eat more thsn the semi-para-
lyEed stomach can act upon. and thus aggra-
Yates indigestion. There is, however. a tonic
which possesses the rare merit of imparting
both vigor and regularity to the operations Of
nutrition. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters pro-
woke a wholesome appetite, because they en-
able the stomach to dispose of what it receives
with such hsalthful rapidly that at the
proper timv Tor meals it is not torpid from in
digested matter, but Graves its timely susie
nance. 1t is the very fact that it facilitates
digestion that renders the national stomachio
such a powerful coadjutor Of nature in insti-
tuting those recuperative processes which

was likewise OF great value. The dining
room was furnished with antique oak

lady, which was totally destroyed as we'll

triaes a morning gown in Mechlin lace

XaICOUr Island.

Very much has been said of the Dawn
Community on Valcour island by the pull
lie and press as well, and the conclusion
arrived at is, they possess some pcculiari-
ties which disqualiiies them from being de-
sirable neighbors. BE that as il may, their
sojourn on that beautiful isle of the Cham
plain is but a question OF time, and the
good people of New York and Vermont,
when they became acquainted with the
startling facts by which those islanders are
surrounded, will be more charitable towards
their Objectionable and erring neighbors.
The fact is Valcour Island is doomed, and
will one day be numbered with things of
the past. Startling as this announcement
must appear, 1t is nevertheless fixed fact.
don't wish to have it understood that
your scribe is seer or soothsayer and
toretelling the destruction of that lovely
isle by a shower of fire and birthstone,
and that our beautiful lake will become a
dead sea, and the lovely Augusta will one
day shake hands with Mrs Lott, and, like
her, become saline monument and warn
ing to others not to look over their should
ers; mean nothing of the kind, but simply
from geological observation, any geologi-
cal student that has ever visited Valcour
island can see at a glance that it is mostly

made up of organic matter; that its rock
is shaky, fragile, Trenton formation;
the eroding effects of the water and the
excavating power of the frost and sun are
doing their work only too well and surely,
and the duration of the island can be solved
by mathematical problem by school
boy, and there is ample evidence to prove
that Valcour once far exceeded its present
limits and reached as far south as Garden
island half mile distant, and was also
united to the two small islets on the east
side, as it is still connected to all by sub
merged reefs of rock of another formation
that show the effects of erasion. After
giving the above facts, any one can see that
the sojourn of the community on Valcour
is but question of time; and facts and
figures show that in two thousand and
two hundred years from date, all that will
be left of Nalcour will be the light house
and its site standing out in bold relief like
stove-pipe hat on horseback. Now
who ever may think this theory absurd.
