roles in which he has attained a most en-.
viable reputation, and has. just claim to

Barrett will appear in the dual charac.

Raphael Duchalet," in the romantic
drama of the Marble Heart. AS " Ham

evening, Mr.. Barrett has won fame. His
performance Of this character last sea.

ished and cultivated triumph. On Friday
night he will appear as "Shylock" in
Shakespeare much admired comedy Of
the Merchant Of Venice. He has never
appeared in this role before a Memphis
audience, and we shall look forward with
interest to its representation. Mr.. Bar.
rett in this character, as be does in all
his representations, has his W concep.

The Countena MIrnnora

In her last letter from Rome. Annie
Brewster gosssips about King Victor
Emanuel and his relations with the
Countess MiraGore. The villa which i
owned and occupied by the Countess ia a
little distance from the city and is one
Of the most delightfully."- situated resi-.
denees in that vicinity OF Rome. The
new Almanch de, Gotha for 1875 persists
in calling her the morganatic wife Of
Victor Emanuel. She is not. She was
married to the King IN the spring of 1863,
regularly by a Jesuit priest, when his
Majesty Of Italy had a severe illness and
thought he was dying. By way of max.
ing terms with the unknown future. Vic.
tor asked the Pope's pardon for past Of.
tense, promised to be a good SON of the
Church in the future, and married his
mistress. The Almanch de Gotha. for
the coming year, gives the Countess

! the marriage was acknowledged by the
Government, she would be the Queen ~

and it is reported that several others
have withdrawn. Among those most
positively announced to have withdrawn
is the Standard, which, like the three
companies above mentioned, is Of good
standing in insurance circles. Promi.
nent insurance officials state that the
efforts of the executive committee Of
the Board to restore harmony of feeling
has apparently had the effect Of widen
ing the breach, aud it is expected that
before the next meeting of the Board
the number ofresignations will be largely
increased. One member of the execu-
tive committee Of TIE Board Of Under
writer's. who also is president of an insu-
rance company, says be does not see
how the Board could hold together much
