The Merchants Fire and Marine Insu-
n Company is one Of the leading
home institutions Of our city, and de-
serves a large share of public patronage.
The officers Of the company are: Presi-
dent, NJ. Il. Meacham; Vice President,
A. N. Mckay; Secretary, VIM. Gay, and
the Directory, Messrs. NJ. L. Meacham,
A. N. Mckay, s. Mansfield, r. B.
Snowden, VIM. B, Galbreath, John
Oyerton, jr., j. M. Pettigrew, Isaac
Schwab, B. F. Halter. At the recent
election the old Board and officers were
unanimously reelected, a fact which
shows the confidence felt by the stock
holderp in the management.
The capital stock Of the company is
5000, 900 and so well have the affairs Of
the company been managed that the
losses during the past year amounted to
but a few hundred dollars. Mr.. VIM,
Gay, the secretary, is n business man Of
twenty years standing and thoroughly
understands the insurance business.
Those desiring to take out Gre or marine
risks "a find no more reliable or re.
sponsible company either at home or
abroad, and the steadily increasing BUSH
ness Of tue company shows that it is
growing in public favor and has already
become one of the "favorites" with bust
ness men and others who believe 10
insuring against loss.

this evening with a return trip for Napo-

business. Captain George Malone, an
experienced boatman, commands, while
Captain A. L. Cummings, who, by the
way, is one of the most accommodating
clerks on the river, controls the affairs
of the Office. Morris Herman, the prince
Of stewards. superintends the cnisine,
which is a full guarantee that the guests
of the White will be well taken care Of.
The Belle Of Shreveport arrived at
noon from New Orleans en- route to
Cairo with a fair trip. She landed at the
elevator and put of a lot of freight
and gets away this afternoon.
John Conner, second clerk of the
Thompson Dean, died very suddenly at
Louisville on Thursday. The boats in
port displayed their colors at halfmast
in respect of his memory.
After this trip the fine steamer Mary
Ament will extend her trips to Haile's
Point, aud run in the trade regular az a
semi-weekly packet, leaving Memphis on
Mondays and Fridays. Captain Jop.
lin enters the new arrangement on &C
count of the growing business for bis
packet along the upper coast. The
above extension Of her trips will bring
business to Memphis and prove beneficial
to our merchants. She will give partic.
ular attention to all way business.

Dramatic critics will often differ
widely. The Avalanchian says, "Bar-
rett's Shylock is not the 'Shylock of
Shakespeare" and the Appeal says.
1t was a subtle insight into the soul Of
Shakspeare's creation, which made the
counterfeit presentment seem reality"
There are, as should be, certain standard
rules Of criticism by which the above
writer's should Measure their express.
sions.
1t is a pleasure to know that many
leading Radicals Of this city became so
thoroughly Johnsonized that they are
now gravely considering the propriety
Of going still further and becoming
Democrats. In the next city and county
election the Johnsonian test Of politics
will be insisted upon by the friends Of
the Commoner, aud will be squarely
met by those opposed to such bogus
test Of anything.
The Appeal local reports a member Of
the Southern Dental Association as
saying that the Memphis press was
represented in full at all masquerades
and negro balls, but ignored the worthy
dental association We hope our
brother pencil singer is in error as to
this, because if he reports the dentist
correctly we swear by all the tusks OF
the elephant hat that dentist shall
never swing on a tooth of ours.
Among the popular social n~uisances
in Memphis is asking for a chew of
tobacco. Every person has seen and
heard the man who does so. His name
is legion, and embraces at times every
tobacco chewer in the city. If a man in
a crowd takes out a plug of tobacco, as
be is about to return it TO his pocket a
dozen hands intercept it and a dozen
voices demand a chew. Yesterday as
three or four men we're riding in a Main
street car one of them called out; HAS
