MEMPHIS THEATER.-To.night the Fur
bish Fifth Avenue Combination will
make their FIRST appearance this season,
and will present that beautiful drama
entitled Divorce, with new scenery and
appointments gotten up by Mr.. R II.
HALEY, who has been here for some
weeks mailing preparations. OF its pre-
s~entation the Nashville Banner makes
the following aattsrinr notice:
Just as predicted, the Opera House was
last evening filed almost 10 overlooking
to witness the first appearance this sea-
son. of that excellent company. Furbish's
Fifth Avenue Combination. Divorce
was the attraction, and it certainly did
hold the closest attention Of the audience
throughout. AS the familiar faces OF
old fayorites presented themselves before
the footlighis they wera h%esFtiiy sB.
plagdod by their old admirers. Mr..
frank Evans as Alfred Adriause," aud
Miss Henrietta Irving as Fanny Ten
Eyck,' the leading gentleman and lady,
both strangers here, produced a fac i'm
preston as ARTISTS OF rare merit Mics
Josie Perler, also q algABger 10 nul
boards, has already made many friends
among our play eotrs; she is a very
pretty lady and acts With much grace
and ease. There was ne fault to 6nd
with any one, as the piece vas placed
upon the siege in the abandonment style
and each character was enacted 10 the
olavereat manner.
Divorce will be repeated to morrow
night, and Wednesday night the altrac
tons will be Victim Of Circumstances
and Romeo JaGier jenkins. o. Thurs
day there will be given q grand Thaks
giving matinee.
WAsHIEdroS STREET VARIETIES -Tbi
place Of public amusement continues t
attract good audiences nightly. Tn
entertainments are interesting and tn
company qaIte a good one. Proiesso
Quillin, the legless man, on the trapsz
and flying rings is a novelty, and is vel
worth witnessing. The singing, dancing
various specialties aud negro oomieal
ties presented BY the troupe are fully u
10 the usual variety performances.

The Ripley (Lauderdsle county, News,
of Wednesday last, contains the follow
ing.
We are informed that a negro mar was
found lying dead in the public highway
this morning, near M. Reak Woods
house. His head and face we're beaten
in a fearful manner aud his skull fractured
with the brains oozing out. His features
we're so distorted that recognition was
was impossible. No one, it seems, knew
who be was or where he came from.
Some of Mr.. Woods family heard a noise
in the road last night but paid no atten-
ton TO it, not dreaming that a foul and
atrocious murder was being committed.
No clue has been found to the murderer.
We hope our authorities will use all dir
gence to ferret ont the case and bring
the guilty mes to justice.
A telegram was received by our police
authorities last night to arrest a negro
named William DeWalt, who murdered
James Coleman, the negro man above
mentioned. The murderer is. a thick,
heavy set negro, weighs us pounds, is
rough in speech yet polite in manner
lie is very black. A reward OF $25 hes
been offered for his arrest by Mr.. w. 0.

A Paris correspondent Of the Times,
discussing the prospect of the confer
ence at Constantinople, says: The peo-
PIE even affirm hat the Marquis of Sails
bury. the Engl.sh Plenipotentiary,
though on principle opposed TO foreign
occupation, has not an absolute prede-
termination. Even on that point he will
d%iscuss with an unbiased view the ques.
ton Of collective occupation within linn
its which cannot alarm the Porte ror
excite the suspicion Of any power"
The Times, in a leading article, also
openly fsvors a collective occupation
1t says the occupying force should il
case Of each province be procured from
some power which cannot be suspected
Ct barboring any designs upon the prov
iuce in whichit is placed. No objection
could be raised to this as long as tn
. force furnished is Trustworthy and sufi
, oieut. The jealousies Of the guarantee
ing powers and the a~ntipatby Of tn
4 Porte may be allayed by the adoption G
this salutsry principle.

IN FRONT OF OUR LANDING.
The landing of NO Use Unless thI
wrecks are Cleared Away.


The landing OF No Use Unless h
Wrecks are Cleared Alvey.
The submarine diver made three other
explorations Of the bottom Of the river
in front of the newly.made landing on
S liuruay morning. The results Of these
dives are as follows:
Dire No. l Il find a clear and level
bottom of rock aud 8avel, II to 70 feet
of water, so feet west of p'ltug aud 60
feet north Of Jefferson street.
Dire No. Ill find at Is feet west of
piliug and 60 to Is feet north of Jeffer-
son street, % or 80 feet of water; level
aud rocky bottom.
Dire No al find leo feet west Of
.piling aud so feet north of Jefferson
street, IS feet Of water; level, rocky
and gravel bottom.
ia the LEDGER of Saturday was pub.
lished the result of the seven dives or
explorations made on Friday afternoon;
and the three made on Saturday as
above published finished the work Of the
diver.
Captain A. J. Murray, Assistant City
Engineer, has made a map Of the explo-
ratious aud has located thereon the
wrecks and Instructions. From this
map and notes it can be seen that at low
water mark standing limbers Of wrecks
would be from three to four feet above
water and the water would only be from
one to FIVE feet over the bar which has
formed out about one hundred feet from
the piling, The bar is one hundred and
thirty feet long and eighty feet wide,
with deep water north, south and west
OF it. It commences Immediately north
of the wharfooat and outside Of it, and
is a very dangerous obstruction to com.
merce. From the above it can be learned
that the new landing IS worthless unless
a large sun Of money is expended in
clearing away the wrecks and obstruc-
tions in front Of it. Even the model
barge Of Mr.. Loudop, the contractor
and drawing three feet of water, had tc
wind about the wrecks and take sound
ings in order to be able to reach the
piling. No steamboat can land there
except at the risk Of being wrecked, an(
consequently the improvements are
costly failure unless the necessary clear
ing out takes place. Had a diver been
employed q month ago to make thes'
explorations it might have saved the city
several thousands Of dollars. We nov
have the so-called and so much wishet
for new landing and cannot use it ez
| cept when high waters prevail. This !
a sad commentary upon legislative fore
: sight. but it is a good thing for contraC
tors.
