of Mr.. Clay's greatest popularity that
the two distinguished politicians agreed
to travel to Washington in Governor
Metcaifes carriage; and, all the ar
engagements perfected, they started to-
gether from the latter Forest Retreat
home. in this county. While passing thro'
the State of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Clay told
Governor Metcalfe that he had received
intimations that in Il certain town they
were approaching he Tclld lie honorei

like thousands his fellow countrymen,

Just before coming to town, Governor
Metcalre, who had all along been driN-

THE CARNIVAL.


Whst WIFI We do with the CHESTS ?
Msrdi-Gras, February 9th, will be a
gala dag in Memphis. 1t is near at
hand, and our citizens should make
preparations for the reception of the
vast number Of citizens who will be here
as guests Of the city. We have invited
the citizens Of every State to come and
enjoy themselves, and as from ten to
twenty thousand strangers are expected,
the question comes up, What arrange
ments have been made for their accom-
modatiOn2 Our hotels, restaurants and
private boarding houses can only ac.
commodate. so far as lodging is con.
cerned, a certain number. moi approach.
ing one-half Of the number Of people
who will be here to see the Ulks and
Memph and to enjoy the festivities Of
the day and night. How can this multi
tude OF strangers be lodged and fed2
This is a practical question and one that
must be met in a business-like manner
They cannot exist on fun. nor can they
enjoy a ~Barmacidean feast. They want
something more substantial, and as Mem
phis extends the invitation, Memphis
must see that ample accommodation is
furnished, so that the strangers will
return to their far Off homes and
speak in fitting terms of the hos.
pltallty of the people Of our city.
The "Ulks"" and "Memphp committees
are endeavoriug to solve this great prac-
teal problem, but in this they should be
aided by other associations. The city
government, the Cotton Exchange, the
Chamber of Commerce and the various
civic societies should take the matter in
hand and work out the solution of bed
and breakfast for the strangers. New
Orleans always did this in an excellent
manner, but as that tyrant oppressed
city is inthe hands Of the vile Sheridan,
no Mardi Gras will be celebrated there
this year, and New Orleans will come to
Memphis, her sister city Of the Missis-
sippi valley, and she should be received
with open arms. Every citizen should,
in view Of these facts, entertain his
friends from the country on Mardi Gras
day SO that the hotels, restaurants and
boarding houses may be relieved. To
feed a multitude is no easy task, and
with this wise remark We leave the SUD-
ject for the present.

Amusements.

MEMPHIS. THEATER.-Quite a large and
fashionable audience attended the en-
tertaiument given by the Haverly Min
strels last night. The troupe is one Of
tbe best that has appesrd in our city.
There will be a matinee to-day and a
farewell performance tonight.
THE BERGER FAMLY.-0f this com.
papy, which is billed at the theater for
next Wednesday night. an Atlanta ex.
change says:
The inclemency of the weather last
evening made the brilliant audience a
GROWING compliment to the Berger
Family. The performance is more
varied and entertaining than it ever was.
The star OF the troupe is Miss Anna Der.
ger, whose cornet playing, singing and
acting was irresistible. The other ladies,
Miss Estie and Josie Berger and Miss
Kellogg, were admirable. The Berger
Brothers played finely. The humorous
singing of Mckee and LeGrand was
